What "look" does it for you?

First this:

I find large, masculine hands (big fingers, veins, meaty, a little bit weathered, etc.) and associated muscled forearms VERY appealing. You know, as in "manhandle me . . . ."

Then this:

Stubble or a nicely groomed beard will always catch my eye

Men: Hard, physical labor where muscles are flexing and sweat is visable.

Truth. Watching my husband swing an axe gets me going every time. And not just cuz he's keeping the house warm.

Mad props to any guy who can pull off this

A man in button fly jeans, tee shirt and worn flannel shirt. Rough hands, like he's spent all day working hard. A ball cap on...sweaty. Dirty.

Then clean up and work this, too.

Still have to go with a man in a well tailored suit. Just hits me in all the right places and makes smile.

This is true:

Height and coloring aren't important. If he looks capable of building something, fixing something, or riding in the rodeo )) I'll give him a second look. Or a musician. Guitar, base, and drums.

And I would add other professions like emergency services and the military (but I know I'm biased in that regard)

And I think the above ties in with this.

I haven't seen any of the ladies say they love a guy in a man-bun and skinny jeans, which gives me a lot of hope.

I'm sure there are lots of capable guys with skinny jeans and man buns but I've yet to meet one.


Finally: my original contribution to the thread is "ink". I don't care how much ink a guy has so long as it all *means* something.

"Oh yeah, I got that when I was drunk" doesn't work for me. "My buddy and I got drunk the night before he left for Iraq and went and got these together" that works.

As simple an answer as this may be, it's in the eyes. Not the shape or the color, it is the emotion in them. I can tell within almost 30 seconds of meeting someone if we are going to "mesh" be it female or male. It seems like snap judgment but it has never let me down before. I have a very dry wit and find I am most attracted to the same in any man I meet.

If I am attracted by the wit I see in that twinkle of their eye, the physical body comes secondary really. I would have said 10 years ago that it was tall, dark and handsome but life has a sense of humor. Never say never. You do have to have some physical attraction to them for it to work in the beginning.

But life has definitely taught me that sometimes the prettiest packages are the most deceiving. Not always, but it has happened. So pretty on the outside but evil incarnate on the inside.
