Quirky things you like about the opposite sex

Ollchailin

I like the little freckle that's at the bottom of my OH's thumb. I sometimes look down when we're holding hands and it makes me smile.

And I sometimes use his upper arm as a pillow- it's muscly but not beefy and makes me feel safe (cheesy but true! )

On men in general though you can't go wrong with a bit of stubble, good manners and an ability to loosen up and have the craic!!

Pinky Pixie

A guy that can make tea properly:) , a bit of body hair not a yetti but a few on his chest....oh and good arms that can pin me down

I love a guy carrying a sports bag or gear bag: like, it shows they're fit and stuff, I dunno if that's weird but they always catch my eye over a guy who isn't carrying one

pikachucheeks

gear bag as in... full of drugs!?

Boys who read. Boys who read on public transport always catch my eye.

I imagine it depends on what he's reading?


Fantasy book - OK

Mein Kampf - Eh? (Godwin win's again.)


But I agree for the Vice Versa, I love girls who read, particularily girls who read the same kind of books I read! No Chick-lit thank you (except in private now and then:o)

I love men with hairy chests and legs really hairy:pac:

plus a shaved head:)

Totally, I saw a guy ploughing his way through Jane Austen one day, I was seriously impressed. Another day another dude was trying to suppress laughter while reading Ross O'Carroll Kelly, the noises coming out of him, quickly followed by a look of shame kept me smiling the whole way home.

Basically anything vaugely intelligent, or anything that I would like to read myself would impress me.

And do you know how difficult it is to try hide the cover of the latest chick-lit blockbuster read? Man, why does the covers have to be so brightly coloured! It's a true talent that evades me, privacy it is.

*Note to self, Buy Jane Austen.*

I am mor eof a Palahnuik and fantasy (magicians) reader on Buses though!

Love to see people read, but I see it as the same thing as someone listening to their MP3 player, they don't want to be bothered, there is no proper way to chat someone up on a bus, because asking them about their book takes them away from reading their book!!!:mad:

Is that from personal experience? I know I'd be delighted if someone inquired about my book. No one ever has. The only people who talk to me on buses are aul wans and aul fellas.

Also I never listen to my mp3 player on the bus because I love random bus conversations (with said aul wans/fellas). They're great for short story fodder.

I was out at the weekend and was passing by a pretty Spanish girl at one stage and we started talking. She said that she didn't find me that good looking but found me unbelievably attractive... She described me as a more attractive Woody Allen.. Maybe 'cos of my curly hair and glasses.... I'm not sure how i'm supposed to take this!!

Khannie

Ooh, this being bumped has reminded me....facial scars on ladies = hawt.

Vinny-Chase

I don't know if it's a quirky thing but I love women who wear glasses. Maybe I associate it with intelligence which I think is very sexy

Personal experience being the one chatted up, unfortunately it was by a gay workmate.:( Since I'm not Gay I don't find it quite as flattering as I would.

She probably has a Woody Allen fetish!!! That I have to say is quirky!!!

Oh yeah, creativity is another one. Involved in some sort of art, writer/ actor singer etc. a kindred spirit

"I wanna live with a musician. She'd write songs at home and ask me what I thought of them, and maybe even include one of our little private jokes in the liner notes."

WhiteWashMan

freckles and the ability to drop vulgarities into a pleasant conversation.

i like scars. They intrigue me.
i also like to see a fella who's out having a laugh with his friends. Well if they think he's good craic, then why wouldn't i?

ad1

i like a man who doesn't look like he's spent as long getting ready as me. i like that men are that simple that they can just shower, throw on some clean clothes and then be all set for their night out.

Do I want to know what a little ned is? ~winces in preparation for a shock~

Peggypeg

I love guy's backs too, thought that was just me. I love arms, defo favourite part of a guy. I also love tattoos and shaved heads, generally the meaner looking the better, just being honest. My boyfriend is 16 stone (not fat at all just a big fella), shaved head, 8 tattoos. It funny though coz he's the nicest, sweetest guy ever, he loves animals and dotes on my 4 cats and 4 kittens, it's so cute to find them asleep on him. So yeah I'm a bit contrary, I like guys who look really tough and mean but are in fact sweet hearts. Actually I've found that alot of the bigger guys tend to be softies when you get to know them, anyone else find that?

madra-rua

Well defined shoulders and arms do it for me ...

Love big hands as well.

This might sound weird but I think my OH looks so hot when he comes home from a hard day's work covered in dirt ... something really manly about it

Jood

I love big manly hands too and thighs, gotta say after the eyes, thighs are my favourite body part on a man. Or well maybe second favourite

LimeFruitGum

Oh this thread is great

I used to wear a very nice pair of silver semi-rim Calvin Klein glasses before I got lasered, but to the best of my knowledge, only one guy fancied me specifically because of the glasses:)
BTW, whoever posted about short and curvy blondes earlier need look no further :pac:


I love tall, dark haired, smart guys. Deeelicious brains. *drool*

wouldn't say no to some nicely toned guns either and/or a hairy chest.

But as for quirky things, am I the only one who looks at a guy's lips? I do think that's important

You should get your eyes unlasered, so how it goes with the glasses again!

That was so me, up to the hairy chest

Words cannot convey how fast I would run from any man who described any part of his body as his 'guns'.

Seriously.

I'm there on the hairy chest though (hairy everywhere if possible).

LimeFruitGum

I do have some purple rimless shades, that'll have to do for now!

"Can I see your guns?" is a great chatup line though it is v. cheesy Having said that, I'm not crazy about overly muscular arms, but I like to see some nice definition there, if that makes sense.

A tall, dark haired swot is fine as they are :-)

I like it when a girl touches my bum while we're kissing. Cos girls don't often touch my bum while we're kissing. So when they do, it feels very exciting and new. And that's why I like girls touching my bum while we're kissing.

I dont' think that's a quirky thing about the other sex. I think you just like having your ass grabbed, you're not alone

Me too!! I love the way my OH talks...the way his lips moves and the way his tounge and teeth interact while he is talking!! (that makes me sound like such a weirdo!) And a good smile...wowzers!!!

I love a boy who dances...especially if he looks like he is loving it and not posing!! A kind of dancing-behind-closed-doors-dance!! Really does it for me!

G86

I love strong forearms, especially complete with a leather cuff/wristband..hmm:p

Hee hee my OH will kill me if he sees this but when he was in his last band and they were playing a gig he would get really into it and be concentrating....and his concentration look is basically him nodding to the beat and pouting!!! He looks so cute but got very embarressed when we pointed it out to him!!!

Pouty boy lips are great!!

I drink pints of beer easily. Does she like, enjoy it? because over all beer, baileys and whiskey would be my favourite drinks.
Vodka is a little further down the line. Not much of a bitch drinker anymore, too sweet.

Special K

I drink pints of vodka [Only kidding]

I was told before that women drinking pints of beer was very unladylike and frowned upon by many males - didn't bother me and I'd easily tuck into pints of bulmers or beer! Luckily my bf doesn't mind one bit! Wouldn't really bother me if he did!

Also have a thing for guys in glasses.........guys playing the guitar...........guys in suits............guys with nice eyes.........

Sugarlessfifi

I like the eyes, the suits and the glasses too, never found a particular attraction towards guitarists though when my BF used to play bass it would make me melt a little, even though he thinks he was bad at it :P

My boyfriend doesn't mind(as far as I know =/) about me drinking pints, though I know he never liked buying me bitch drinks lol

bubblicious

I love the way when my OH is laughing about something, he covers half his face with his hand, as if to say "Oh God, that's embarrassing!" It's terribly cute!

Sugarlessfifi

I cover my face too, but because it goes red when I laugh >.< and because I wear braces

Jackobyte

Eyes. It's all in the eyes. Bright, sparkly and intelligent. That smile when she smiles. It shows a true smile...

barleybooley

I think scars for some reason are so sexy, don't ask me why. I love a nice set of teeth as well as lovely hands, a girl of very obscure tastes My bf ticks two out of three of those boxes, not a scar in sight
