    Oh I love a man with a sexy adams apple, particularly if they have a bit of stublle. Especially when they do that nervous swallowing thing, or if they happen to smoke and are taking a pull on a cigarette, the way their adams apple bobs up and down slowly... (not generally a fan of smoker's but this looks so sexy)

    And a man with a really deep voice, can just imagine him whispering close to your ear, all gravelly and such... hmmm :D

    I have a thing for guys in black t-shirts, its just really simple but there is something about it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 429 ✭✭Jinxi


    I love when you frighten a guy(like jump out from behind a door when they think noone is home) they get incredibly angry for a few minutes at anything and everything, before they admit they were freaked out:rolleyes: and can laugh about it

    I turn to Goo when she wears my jumpers/hoodies.
    Especially when we're out. It's a pride thing.

    I love when we start having an argument, and she just lunges at me and starts to kiss me, so we both shut up.
    Just a little reminder, that we're in love, so no need to fight.

    I love her height, she's not tiny. But I'm 6'1, and I just love to have to bend down.

    I love the way she feels the back of my neck/hair.


  • Registered Users Posts: 33 cookier


    My bfs big ears, they're not that big, they stick out a bit, but I love them. They're quirky :)

    Freckles are amazing. They are a symbol that someone is comfortable enough in their own skin that they don't feel the need to hide them under a sheet of make-up.

    Girl with no make up.


  • Registered Users Posts: 644 ✭✭✭Mackleton


    Guys with dark curly hair and brown eyes om nom nom!!:pac:

    thing i love on a guy - his stomach. flat, a little tiny bit tanned, or just not pale, a little bit of hair... sexiest thing ever!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2 Niranja


    Shoes! He could be the best looking guy in the world but if the shoes ain't right...Also, over grown, curly, dark hair and to make you feel like the only girl in the room. That takes skill!

    Teeth. I have a serious thing about teeth. A pair of straight, white and well maintained teeth is seriously like an aphrodisiac to me.


    So only 2 teeth as opposed to a full set is ok for you? You must luv that guy from Salem's Lot.


  • Registered Users Posts: 892 ✭✭✭mariebeth


    I don't know why, but I've always had a thing about tattoos on a guys upper arm, but they have to be tribal or celtic tattoos for some reason, I just find them so manly & sexy! Especially when there's muscle to go with it :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,058 ✭✭✭✭Abi


    I love the lips, eyes, nose, tush, those are the physical attributes. The personality attributes have to be a lot like mine to work out, and are often more important than the physical. I don't like anything forced. Very similar sense of humour is gold-dust (:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,006 ✭✭✭reap-a-rat


    I absolutely positively love combats on a guy. Not necessarily camoflauge pants now, black or grey or any colour really, I just think they're so hot *goes weak*

    I love a guy with brown hair and sallow skin, and a bit of stubble, yum! Actually, basically everything about my boyfriend is what I love :)! Its not all quirky, but its my thing!

    I also agree with the poster who finds intelligence attractive. Very appealing, as long as its unassuming. Nothing worse than a know-it-all!!:rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 62 ✭✭FayeRayRay


    I love a bit of stubble, treasure trail, and chunky thighs on a man are sexy :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 205 ✭✭SarahMs


    I like a bit of a cheeky side like when We were standing on the escalator in Dunnes the other day not really saying anything in particular and He said 'Wanna **** in the bathroom?' There was no way We were going to, but he made me laugh.

    Manners
    He always says please thanks etc and always holds the door, lets people out etc.

    my fav fav thing though, is they way he says 'Hi, how are you?' to the waitress, guy in the butcher, person who works in the newsagent and waits for the answer..... and says 'good I'm glad' after the obligotory grand

    I like a passionate man........ like just grab me and kiss me where ever. Or on the other hand get cross at me....when i deserve it of course!


  • Registered Users Posts: 892 ✭✭✭mariebeth


    I also seem to be attracted to guys who work with their hands rather than their minds, I just find it way more attractive for some reason.

    But then again, I always thought I'd end up married to a farmer, since I'm a farmers daughter. Who knows, there's still time yet!

    Ah he has to have a natural born talent for farming, otherwise it'd never work & we'd just be poor farmers...and that would not be good :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,016 ✭✭✭Blush_01


    Noooooo. No farmers! Never getting to go anywhere or do anything fun, because winter and spring is calving and summer is silage, autumn is harvesting and then you're into calving again. No farmers - smelly wellies, green-bleached yard clothes, long days, short nights (and not in a fun way) and constant struggle. No farmers. Nuh-uh!

    Each to their own :) I grew up around it and love it, ok well maybe not the smell! Plus I'm hoping to have my own horse in a couple of years so I need land for it ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,016 ✭✭✭Blush_01


    Don't get me wrong, I spend a few hours (minimum) most Saturdays, and usually on Sundays too, helping on a farm, but it's not a lifestyle I'd choose for myself long-term. Farming is a vocation, it's not something you can go into blindly, or with a rosy view of things. The work is often it's own reward, and darn it, if I do the work I want the money, not just the satisfaction of getting to the end, ta.

    There are a lot of great, positive things about farming, but the flipside outweighs the benefits imho.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,740 ✭✭✭Asphyxia


    On my boyfriend I love his nice straight teeth he has an amazing smile :rolleyes: He also looks cute in his glasses and can pull off the backwards cap look and not look like an idiot :D

    Glasses on a man can be delicious I'm talking giving a kinda cute guy the extra nerdy edge!

    A little pudge on a man can be lovely too as well as scruffy looking hair


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 134 ✭✭Josh_Calvert


    Its funny....I HATE my glasses and am spending a fortune on lasik just to feel comfortable in my own skin.....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4 Puddinase


    I second the glasses...swoon:D


  • Registered Users Posts: 346 ✭✭Micamaca


    I like strong arms on a guy, preferably my husband! Have always had a thing for arms...cannot be skinny or over muscular...just strong and protective arms. And neat hands at the end of them. Again, luckily the other half has these :D

    Am loving all the guys who like girls without make-up - good for you. :)

    + 1 million to this. I love a man who won't just agree with me or go along with something I've done/want to do for the sake of an easy life.

    I've always been crap at having arguments in relationships because instead of defending myself or crying or something, I just stand there with a cheeky grin on my face and then end up pouncing on him. I love an angry man!

    (In a non violent way :eek:)

    Oh, and a filthy mind.

  • Registered Users Posts: 457 ✭✭Celtise


    Supposedly I have a thing about ears, it has been mentioned to me, but I'm not exactly sure what type of ears I go for either so it's very subconscious unlike my feet one. Also love a fella that has nice shoes.

    -1 on the glasses, as a glasses wearer myself it gets awkward sometimes...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,348 ✭✭✭✭starlit


    If a guy wears a nice suit...makes me go weak at the knees sometimes...
    Anyway, if a guys hair on his chest peaks a little bit around the neck line once he isn't too hairy tis ok! The chiseled, just out of bed, scruffy look!

    If the guy wears glasses that suits him is nice too!

    Iv a thing about a guy having nice hair and eyes, and a well shapped back don't know why!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 134 ✭✭Josh_Calvert


    That's really weird....most guys HATE being tricked into anger by women...you may think it's cute, but it's tough enough keeping male aggression and strength when other guys are acting annoying but when women do it it's even worse cos society looks down on women getting a slapping.

    And finding a guys filthy mind sexy? Do you have any idea how many times you've been mentally torn a new one/raped/used as a **** slut just by guys you walk past on Grafton street?

    I'm really bemused by women who find potentially explosive stuff cute or quirky or sexy...Rant over

    Is there really any need for that?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 134 ✭✭Josh_Calvert


    It IS a bugbear of mine that women toy with psychological facets they shouldn't toy with and with seeming ignorance of the material they're working with :mad:

    The language I used was deliberately visceral because the original poster and a few other women on this thread no doubt consider it all fun and games and 'Aren't men so cute when we wind them up? Isn't it so PASSIONATE to get a guy angry...it shows he really cares about what I think' etc.....:confused:

    It's bad enough to find out women like guys in glasses after I just spent 3000 euro on LASIK :cool:

    Women want it both ways: they love the raw primal aggression that men spend their whole lives channeling into rugby/work/beer etc...but then when a woman gets 'physically/domestically/sexually abused' it's all 'bring back the death penalty' etc....

    Anyway, that's just one of those modern female attitudes that really irks me.Rant Over :)

    I agree. Please tone it down Josh_Calvert. I'm sure you can explain your position without going OTT.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Though FWIW Josh_Calvert it is one of the things that irks me too. Any woman in my life that has instigated emotionals just to tickle her fancy was shown the door.

    Who the hell mentioned 'tricking men' into getting angry for our amusement, or deliberately pushing buttons? I'm pretty sure all anyone said was that they find a guy who isn't a pushover attractive...

    I personally find a guy with a temper to be a massive turn-off, but that's just me.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 134 ✭✭Josh_Calvert


    Not specifically, but some of the attitudes women express (and then pretend they never meant in the first place) irritate me.Originally I was just curious to see what women find attractive in guys, it's enlightening and irritating in almost equal measure :)

    Ding dong...reading all the pro-glasses posts is steaming mine up and making me ruffle my scruffy hair. Christmas has helped me hone my pudge as well :pac: But seriously, kinda cool to read some girls prefer my type!

    As for me, I love girls that wear glasses with thick frames. Particularly red glasses on a blonde girl w/ blue eyes or thick dark glasses on a dark haired girl. Yes it is oddly particular!

    A big fan of winter clothes too (wooly hats, knit wear etc). Reminds me of wanting to snuggle up with a girl in front of a roaring fire.

    Lastly, I have a strange love of girls having half their hair tied up.

    Edit: Just noticed all the rape/**** posts, my post about liking knitwear and red glasses should reassure girls that not all guys are thinking that. Some are thinking "wow what a great pair...of glasses" :D

    Woah, dude, relax the cacks. You'd swear I'd mentioned domestic violence or midget porn as my specific turn-ons.

    Why would you assume I'd ever 'tricked' guys into anger? That's a bit of a telling assumption if you ask me. To the contrary, it's merely a light-hearted approach that has taken the edge off an argument and led to many happy endings.

    And all this 'raped/**** slut' bullsh1t? Be careful. I can't speak for the male population but I'd find that representation grossly offensive if I were a man. Or a rape victim. Not to mention the fact that it reeks of misogyny. You might want to consider your target audience the next time you decide to post.

    Sorry mods for going OT, just couldn't let this one slide.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,404 ✭✭✭✭Pembily


    Muscular upper arms and a nice back!!! Nothing nicer than a sexy back (don't ask what makes a sexy back :o )!!! Quite weird I know :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Not a fan of glasses as I wear them myself but don't not look at guys who wear them!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 67 ✭✭NeuroticMonkey


    The things I notice about, or make me look twice at, guys:

    Blue eyes...they're just so piercing
    Glasses, especially those thick-rimmed black types
    A guy who can pull off a shirt (and tie), especially for work, without looking uncomfortable.
    Ruffled/scruffy/standy-uppy hair.
    Someone comfortable in his own skin (i.e quiet-ish/doesn't play up to the crowd)

    Feels a bit weird putting down the "ideal man" here...feels a bit like a Personal Ad in the Farmer's Journal! :pac:

    I totally get what you were trying to do with that emotive language ...but ... that whole 'women want it both ways' thing is applicable to a lot of men's views of what their ideal woman is, you know a fox who is highly sexual and at the same time someone who they can snuggle up with after they cook them up a big feed and will be the perfect mammy ...phew rant over.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,371 ✭✭✭Obliq

    I like hands. Large, well-kept hands (ie no bitten fingernails or hang-nails), with long fingers.

    One thing I really don't like in men is massive shoulder/neck muscles. Like in the pic below. It freaks me out.
