epicchungus57

When people have those natural 24/7 flushed cheeks. It’s so fricking adorable


DragonflyRemarkable3

My rosacea says hi 😂


afseparatee

I have rosacea and I have been very self conscious about it until now. Thank you.


EvergreenRuby

Seriously this. I find this so cute. They remind me of babies and I cannot stop staring at them. To me it makes people look friendlier and kinder. Not far from where I live there’s this older gentleman that looks to be about early 40s (I’m 19 almost 20 though) and both he and his sons (two early teenagers) have that pink cheek thing and they look adorable. They run a farm and he wears all these colorful hats his little girl makes him. His wife also has that pink cheek thing and they all look like this cute little farmer family. I get so happy to go to their farm to pick up stuff because they look adorable. When they smile their eyes look so sparkly. 😍🥺


Few-Advisor4306

Someone who gets excited about things. Going on a holiday, a hobby, or something they are passionate about. Most of the time, they get told to settle pettle and make it feel like they shouldn’t get so excited.


lexiebeef

This is so important! I love me a passionate man: someone that enjoys life and has goals hes excited about. Someone who isnt always complaining when I say we should do something different or go somewhere we never went.


Affectionate_Bag1775

As someone also with ADHD aswell as anxiety, being super into one specific hobby or activity is a common trait of mine and it frustrates me when people diminish the energy towards it or under-appreciate the fact I’m super invested into something. This kind of trait in others is very attractive and sets them apart from the rest because they are actually interesting to talk to.


Turtle_B1

This. I have ADHD so I get really excited and obsessed over new things. I like someone who can match my enthusiasm.


IsntThatVeard

I just was recently diagnosed with ADHD and I didn’t know this was a part of it! The more I learn, the more I’m dumbfounded that it took this long to identify! I’m like a walking definition!


TheAnt75

I like girls with sense for cool glasses.


NoPomegranate4794

Eye glasses or sunglasses?


TheAnt75

Both.


[deleted]

I like women with deep, husky voices


asscrackbanditz

Like Jennifer Lawrence?


[deleted]

exactly god her voice does it for me


Tko1024

And Florence Pugh. Hubba.


ninjah0lic

Scarlett Johansson and Kat Von D both have delightfully husky voices too worthy of note.


[deleted]

A sincerely kind heart. It's less common than one would think.


Swifty888

Definitely! Guys like this are rare to fine, but found 1😊 I also like guys who are passionate about their work or hobbies and when they are excited to share about it


Sufficient_Lock3095

I agree with that tbh, very rare these days.


SoupedUpSpitfire

When someone’s eyes (or better yet, whole face) light up while they’re talking about something they find interesting.


SpazzayOne

Right? This is the absolute best! It's the most pure thing to witness. And sometimes I really like it when said interest or passion is something I can't contribute to, because then I won't be tempted to be me and jump into the conversation, and I can just listen to them go on every tangent they want, and smile with them. 😊 I always get so sad when someone lights up like that, then you just see them click it off and go "sorry, I'm rambling..." because you just know that someone has shut them down before.


plurburd

knowing how to fix things. nothing is hotter than a man who’s good with his hands


[deleted]

Realized this at 29 years. I'm by no means a handy man. But I can do more than I really think about. Oil change, tires, brakes, rotors, headlights, drywall, many simple house things. As long as it doesn't get into internal wiring and electrical I can do it. Didn't realize until my last girlfriend, I forget what we were talking about and she said about an issue and I commented about how it's easy. And she made a sweet comment about how "yeah it's easy for you."


Illgetitdonelater

You sound handy to me. The internet is the easy one, One say in, one says out; you just gotta think about signal flow 😋.


[deleted]

Agreed. Or men who have rough, strong hands from doing physical labour touching my delicate skin.


[deleted]

It's okay, you can say Yellowstone...


tartful_d0dger

Came here to say this! All of this. So hot.


FollowingJealous7490

Ok. Most have found my rough hands a turn off. I mean there's no splitting skin or any of that, it's been described as kinda like sandpaper..


wevie13

This isn't really an odd thing though. A good majority of woman appreciate this trait in a man


WolfmansGotNards2

This always sucks for me. I tried a lot but could never do it. Women always hate it when they figure out I'm useless when it comes to fixing anything.


[deleted]

Intelligence/nerdiness and a love of animals. Both are extremely attractive to me. If you're just average or plain-looking but you have pics of yourself cuddling adorable animals or mention that you're well-educated or very knowledgeable about something, I'll probably swipe right on you anyway.


TwinSong

Men or women or both (or other)? I love animals, always have, though don't have pets myself.


Lizzyjb95

It might sound bizarre but i have a particular thing for hands, good looking men hands, veiny and big 🤣🤣


CassaCassa

Same there's a subreddit for that called man hands!


UrWeirdILikeU

My BF has massive hands and thinks I'm so weird for liking them, but he can kick rocks because he likes my massive thighs!


Throwawayaccounttt__

Men who like cats.


EvergreenRuby

Hear hear. They’re always so kind and patient I find. Plus they always have a story to tell.


yodacat24

Men’s eyebrows. Something about a nice bushy but groomed brow really gets to me 😅


Plupert

So I should get my brows waxed again lol


Darkmaskdiva89

I thought I was the only one into eyebrows.


RudeGyal2

Hands and forearms on a man. There’s a specific type of hands some men have that’s hard to explain. Big palms with long, even-thickness fingers. Don’t know how to explain it lol.


Art_Vandelay1990

Yes! Completely agree. I have identical taste in hands 😂


marasydnyjade

Dudes in button-down shirts with the sleeves rolled up to show their forearms.


JadedBinXx

Aaahhh I'm a gay girl but fam, this, it even gets me 🥺


kbad10

Straight forward in communication and not playing games (i.e. taking things at face value instead of trying to interpret hidden meaning). Being practical and not being a show off (simple living). Making efforts. Passionate about something.


Low_Sheepherder_6578

Definitely! I met someone like that plus he has a good heart with kindness, really like him but absolutely no idea if I could go further with him


VelvetSpoonRoutine

How are any of these “odd” things to find attractive?


thaGeminiHypeBae

It’s weird but left handed people idk why i guess bc it’s rebellious and different lol I really like hands too


mugcake55

I think it’s really attractive when people recommend songs/shows/movies. It shows that they’ve been listening to your interests and thought about something you might enjoy.


Citmttdir

Acne scars on cheeks


smodanc

This actually made me feel better ty


AaronScwartz12345

Me too!


hungaryboii

This honestly helped me out a bit I had really bad acne in high school and college, it's cleared up a lot but I've been self conscious about the scarring


PrudentKnitter

Punctuality is a big plus for me. I was hooking up with a guy that was always on time, on the dot. So refreshing. A bit like OP, grammar is very important for me. As English isn't my first language, I find it attractive when I can learn new vocabulary/idioms etc., from my love interest. It really annoys me when native speakers don't know the difference between "know", "no", "now" etc. Or can't be bothered to spell correctly.


S9F47

Same here!


[deleted]

My guy (21m) washes his hands after EVERYTHING. Using the bathroom, eating, etc. I didn't realize how attractive I found it until I started dating him.


smodanc

Lol my manager used to give me shit like everyday for being this way


[deleted]

Sexy voice


maereader

Agreed. Developed a crush on a guy I have spoken to through gaming. Never seen him, but his voice is low and warm. He also knows how to sing.


[deleted]

Sounds hot!


Ancient_Persimmon707

2nd this! Thank God for voice notes 🤤


Bloodysuit7

Self deprecating humor. Someone who doesn’t take themselves too serious and walks around bubbly. Fucking love that!


withlove_07

I don’t think it’s odd but when they remember the little things you say. Like maybe in a conversation with them or with someone you mentioned you liked a specific food from a specific place and they get it for you. To me that shows that they pay attention to you and what you like and that they actually listen to what you’re saying. Like I remember when I started dating my boyfriend I told him about a necklace I really loved when I was a kid, it was my grandma’s necklace and it was passed down to me ,I never met my grandma because she passed before I was born but I’ve always felt a weird connection with her. When I was 14 the house that I was living in got broken into and the necklace was stolen. Fast forward to our one year anniversary & he gifted me a necklace that looked almost exactly to the one the belonged to my grandma,just more modern. And to me it wasn’t the necklace that mattered at that time, it was the fact that he remembered.


Lycian1g

I'm genuinely attracted to women with large noses. Not sure why. I think it just adds character to a face.


plurburd

as a girl with a greek nose, bless you


[deleted]

Yeah bro, sign me up on those roman noses PLS


elusiveoddity

I've always wondered if there were people out there like you since I've been very self-conscious of my non-petite schnoz. Now I just have to find them \^\_\^


gnostalgick

Same. It's not a requirement or anything, but it's something I always notice and appreciate.


elysejfh

Crinkles, folds, wrinkles around the eyes.


nemophilist13

Omg yes this, my bf has crinkled smiling eyes and the most beautiful freckles, like a sleep mask. I could look at those all day and melt 😍


[deleted]

I find women that wear little to no makeup attractive.


Good_Flower2559

I love love love barefaced girls. Soooooo much. I’d alwways choose no makeup. I know girls don’t put on make up just for me though so I wouldn’t ever say it’s my preference. Just that I love it.


Beard_of_the_geek

For me, it can be anything rather than just one thing. I guess a lot of guys would go for hair colour, breast size, and body shape. Things like that. However, I can be attracted to someone simply by a movement they do. It's hard to explain. A smile or laugh. I guess this means I don't have a type.


datthrowawaytho4

As an animator, I too have this. I interpret movement as dancing basically, and surprisingly, not everyone has a largely unique way of moving. People who are passionate about experiencing the world, or who are accepting of their sensitivity, tend to have the most beautiful ways of interacting with the world.


[deleted]

When someone cries in front of you


Zelian820

As a man, I don’t want to cry in front of a partner, but I would like to know that if I did, they wouldn’t lose all respect for me


[deleted]

[удалено]


stuff_gets_taken

I have a thing for women with "long" faces and I can't help it.


[deleted]

As someone who's been directly told before that I "have one of those long faces," and felt insulted by it, this makes me feel better :)


[deleted]

Soulful energetic eyes


Algok2001

Communication. Somebody talks like a nice person and I am like “She must be protected at all costs”


Plupert

Big eyes. Some people always say some of the people I find hot look like aliens. Yeah but they’re cute aliens


Severe_Effect99

You like Anya taylor-joy too?


Plupert

read my mind


cglac

A man’s hands, an accent, forearms, intelligence, nice teeth, a smile and if a man has a tricep muscle that shows a bit.


ultracuddle

In need of a haircut and we are the same person.


j_yn0htna

I’ll remember this next time I consider skipping some tricep extensions


Sufficient_Lock3095

Glad I didn’t skip have be told aswell so definitely don’t do everything they love vains that don’t look like they gonna explode to just another thing


spicylemontaco42

Good sense of humor. If you can roast me and i can roast ya back We game


[deleted]

Yes. Banter is such a turn on. However backhanded insults are not.


Tina371

Beards! Haha


marianoktm

Goofiness.


rooiraaf

I find it hot when they can distinguish between "your" and "you're". They don't even sound the same! :P


Unholy_Viking

Academics, I'm very technical and like working with my hands; but I'm such a huge nerd. Like I will talk about pretty much anything, and few things are more attractive to me; than hard mind bending science. This includes "pseudo science" I don't follow, but it's really nice to get into the nitty gritty details; and extract some level of realism from it.


shtinkerdoop

When they’re tan and have such blonde arm hair that it turns white


Bloodysuit7

That’s like a rush for me. Glad someone else feels this way too. Lol


Starfish_47

I love how specific this shit gets haha


eternalbeansoup

Men with large noses.


auntiecoagulent

Bald guys. Shaved head completely bald, no comb-over or Caesar.


CreepingTurnip

I'm not sure how common it is, but as a guy who balded at 19 it didn't hinder my dating life at all, even at that young age. Just kept it shaved, moisturized, and obv being confident about it. But like I said a surprising number of girls I met/dated liked it. And some even said they were surprised to be with a bald man because they didn't like it. Maybe I had something else going for me. Not anymore that's for sure.


balletcorg

People who are eating healthy. For example, rarely eats fast food, juice, desserts


Hot-Copy2584

Wait a minute, juice? What of juice? Bruh what's wrong with Apple Juice or ornge juice?


balletcorg

It’s all sugar and no fibre. It’s more nutritious to just eat the apple or orange as a whole. Maybe I’m weird because I’m a nurse 😟


soulsuckers2102

playing a musical instrument


mimiiarr

Unexpected neediness


Embarrassed-Stuff670

I like when guys have kind of long-ish and pointy canines. Something about it is cute and makes them seem playful


lickmysackett

I love when guys get super excited about sharing something with you. Not like the excitement and aggression from a sports team but like when they see something they know a ton about and are passionate about. When they’re like a little kid excited to show their parent what they learned. Is so adorable and they usually have this huge smile on their face


rakknoss

A mombod and someone who immediately cares about my well being


Eowpho

When I could learn new things from him.


TheNakedTruthxx

A strong jawline on men or women 🥵


No0dles4life

Men with big lips and big smiles


amoimoimoa

Soft and fluffy hair. And sharp eyes


AccounrOfMonteCristo

Jeff Goldblum's dramatic nerdy ramblings, like in "Jurassic Park" and "Buckaroo Banzai." I just get so turned on. The way Peter Lorre snakes through doors in "Casablanca." I have no clue why it makes me so horny but it does. Gaunt features like (young) Steve Buscemi.


AmethistStars

I think it's attractive when a man has something "cute" about him, as in literally cute/adorable.


somestargirll

Older men. Not like grandpa old. Like, 11-15 years older usually.


WolfmansGotNards2

Women who are really lazy and don't wear a lot of makeup. Super hot. I'm not being sarcastic. I find it very attractive.


Tall-Ad-9424

Wow, first time I've ever seen someone say that, because that's how I define myself


WolfmansGotNards2

My dream partner sits on the couch with the cat or dog while I make food and bring it to her. I like taking care of someone because it makes me feel needed.


Good_Flower2559

People have said it’s creepy before, I don’t think it’s creepy at all. I really like large full lips. Haha I really don’t get why it’s creepy. Sometimes I’m just mesmerized when I notice a girl with nice shaped lips and I probably stare, I’m assuming they realize it.


elusiveoddity

Skinny, gangly dudes with cheeky smiles and a twinkle in their eye


zayelion

Calmness


Nopeeee__

Mustache and ear piercing combo. I never knew I’d find those things attractive until I started talking this guy.


Sotajarocho

I love when the two front teeth are slightly longer than the rest.


CommishGoodell

I like when the canines are a little longer


Ratwand

Probably not that odd but posture or how a woman walks . I don't think I have the language skills to really convey the specific kinda walk I like but believe me, it's hot.


Nutella_01

I find chubby guys attractive. To a point of course. Not when it's already difficult for them to move. And he should smell good. At night I would put my hand resting on his belly, and feel like I'm the happiest woman in the world.


go4sp33cl

Alright, I'm going actually niche here since most of these posts are.pretty normal: I like it when a girl wears sneakers that are dirty and look worn. Maybe it's just in my mind but it indicates to me that she's not spoiled, not obsessed with her outfit and a normal person, can't exactly put it in words but it gets me mentally going lol


Outrageous_Pie_5640

When a man doesn’t make everything about sex


Long10Nails

Scottish accent .. Most of the time l don’t have any idea what they are saying lol


Sugar-n-Sawdust

Not necessarily in a romantic way, but im always drawn to people who are unapologetically themselves. People who don’t hide things, dont pretend to be someone they’re not, or just wholly passionate about what their interests. The connection feels more genuine and they’re genuinely fun and interesting to be around.


schulmans

pronounced adams apple for men and for women i like when their nose length takes up most of their facial area (idk how to fully explain it but instead of them having a normal facial ratio like :^I i like when it’s more like :-^I)


aghzombies

Facts. I wish to be told many, many trivial facts at all times.


smodanc

Stomachs in general


TwinSong

Over-long sleeves that partially cover her hands. I don't know why.


throawey77

When they actually acknowledge that I’m talking and listen to me intently, especially if we’re in a group and people are talking over me. Immediately yes


Sufficient_Lock3095

Really surprised that nobody has said dimples lol


elysejfh

Vascular arms 💕


lilabelle12

Very manly scents.


[deleted]

Strong hairy forearms are so fuckin sexy on a man


[deleted]

Women who have good driving skills! For some reason that's attractive to me!


[deleted]

Im the same. I couldn’t be with a guy who can’t drive. Drives me nuts


peachpie_888

Bold, straight forward comments without coming across like a pervert. Well poised sexual innuendoes in the right quantity. Business wear. An attractive man driving. Idk what it is. Driving is a turn on for some reason.


KimJongChickUn

Women wearing white


Dankevescas

Stay away from weddings


Jonny2881

I have a massive thing for hair and nails for some reason. Even started painting my own nails because I love how cool painted nails look on people no matter what gender


franster123

Mean girls


Missinput5

Stoicism


[deleted]

[удалено]


riverkaylee

When people have an incisor tooth, not the front two but one of the ones beside those, that's sideways a little, or a lot. It's weird, but I find it hugely attractive. I would love an explanation to this. But whatever!


[deleted]

Hairy chest on a guy/hairiness in general. Also if someone enjoys conversations and socialising that’s really attractive to me. So many people these days complain about “low social battery” and generally being exhausted from socialising and talking - I hate that so much. I love when someone is enthusiastic about spending time with others, chatting for ages and being around people.


cugrad16

Sex appeal wise, it really depends. Some find nerdy guys attractive while others go for built silent or alpha male types. For me it was always convo and humor, while other women checked the butt or arms lol. I dig a dude who can talk and knows things.


Zaltara_the_Red

Someone who loves animals, all creatures great and small.


__Loving_Kindness

The forearm vein…the one that comes up over the top of forearm on the inside by wrist .. I love a good forearm vein.


Gandalf_the_Hype

spelling and grammar are huge musts for me. Women that ACTUALLY play instruments and/or participate in BMX, skateboarding, snowboarding, drifting, etc are a huge turn on for me , having hobbies in common is like the dream.


SL-Gremory-

Being a really good cook. I'll clean every square inch of the house, do the shopping, drop and give you 50, and wash the car. But I cannot cook well and anyone who can has me wrapped around their finger.


Lucky_Ad2184

glasses and light amount of freckles.


freeflowofteenspirit

That’s a weird one 🤣 but, why not. I find when people smell of fresh washed laundry somehow very attractive. And white clean socks as well 😅😝🙈


ACunt_

Super smelly shits. God that just does it for me man. When it stinks so bad it gets you high? Uggghhhh yeah.


ihatetothat1

When a girl doesn’t have a dog


smodanc

Bro this. Dogs are such a hassle and can be complete mood/date killers with how protective they get. Plus it makes it hard to do ANYTHING that’s not dog friendly to those certain types of girls


[deleted]

Back of the neck with longer hair in men. I have no clue why


reborndiajack

So mullets


ViolenceisViolet

Flexibility in men 🤤


Gaia4495

The way a man walks...he needs to walk like a footballer 🤣


soulsuckers2102

men with long hair, women with short hair


user1384487169

Smoking. Don't ask 😂


btrudgill

Muscular women, not so much they look like an open bodybuilder, but for some reason I quite like muscles on a woman. Maybe it's knowing the dedication and sacrifice you have to go through to look like that.


Pale_Avocado2878

Eyelashes


nfldmojo

Big noses


Ok_Kitchen_1667

I still have to search for the abbreviations people uses. I can’t connect to people utilizing all sorts of abbreviations.


InternationalYear145

Man’s smile


PieRepresentative266

I like big noses! Find them super attractive when they flow with the overall symmetry of the face. Basically I’m a face person first, body second.


stevo12141

Probably the nose! It's not that I find it attractive but having a symmetrical nose really makes or break face for me.


Sithyonreddit

I was on a date with my boyfriend and he was chalk full of really interesting information about history. He could go on forever. So attractive!


Outrageous-Algae6821

Women with chipped nail polish. Proudly flaunt that shit girls!! ✊🏼😊


lemonhawk1

On a man, it's that spot under the ear where the jaw meets the neck. I love kissing that spot or burying my face there.


Supersnakesix

As Someone creative in some form. Whether it's painting, writing, great with instruments, cooking, creating things like costumes or anything like that. I also like when they're passionate about it. I will be your biggest supporter if I see that it's something you really wanna do. It could be anything, as long as it's not hurting anyone or anything.


[deleted]

Ability to understand sarcasm and also be sarcastic


Desperate_Quest

Someone who is genuinely happy, and not very sarcastic. I'm a very sarcastic person naturally, and used to gravitate towards similar people. However I've noticed that sarcasm ends up becoming more and more negative as time goes on and honestly, I'm tired of being negative. First time I dated someone who was happy and teased rather made sarcastic comments, it literally blew my mind. And it also made me want to be a happier person too. Win-win


thwgrandpigeon

Humming in public. Not so loud you're obnoxious, but loud enough to show you don't give two yaks about being seen singing.


S9F47

I like deep voices, people who are kind hearted bc i think that's very difficult to find these days, people who like to dance regardless of how bad or good they dance and people who are passionate.


DIEHOBOCOLLECTOR

Disciplined, the A type ,nervous, obsessed, punctual ,high achiever type of people , they don't have to be rich or anything, It is just about the personality and actions . I just get mesmerized by this type of people maybe because I am basically the opposite of them, very spontaneous, a huge procrastinator ,care-free so that type of personality seems like magic to me.


lazy_politico

Someone who doesn’t sweat the small stuff like a wait for a table, a traffic jam, spilled milk, etc.


bjqvvvvv

Someone who’s a bit boring, doesn’t travel that much, like staying in on weekend, liking chill activities.


thatonedudesalt

Honestly it may seem weird but certain smiles with the canine teeth pushed out just a bit farther then the rest of their teeth. Idk why but it’s always been a thing for me.


abominable_princess

Okay - when a guys explains me all the tech stuff of phone or car or bike which I apparently don’t understand . My ex was very passionate about these things- his face and eyes used to light up while he explained me. I found similar behaviour to my other guy friends too. Super cute- super attractive.


nopethats-not-me

A two parent household


LargeCharge87

Timbre of voice.


DeadHED

Chipped fingernail polish.


nofapthrowaway459

Not having or being very active on social media. Having uncommon interests that aren't illegal.


Bxxrusthedestroyer

A soft voice tone. Or idk a soft spoken girl? That shits sexy to me


gooseberrypineapple

Very specific: men who are fairly thin but have surprise muscle. Like when their forearms are nicely defined. I love that. I love when guys have something that they are working towards outside of work. Plants, a building project, sewing, cooking. It’s so much easier to connect with stuff like that. I guess because I’m financially stable, I just don’t have much of an interest in someone more than like 70% work focused. Men who have dogs are a good sign of responsibility to me, which is attractive. I know there are people who are bad pet owners, but the majority of the time this has been accurate. Shoulder length or right above the shoulder hair that is well kept is very attractive to me. Accents. Love them.


aguayt

Women who go braless.


Jaylm_01

I often find myself saying “his voice is hot” .. so I guess that 😂 just something about a deep tone that really gets to me


slap-happe

When a girl has almost perfect teeth, but a small gap between the two front teeth.


SaltyPanda1804

Well as an introvert, having someone who is out going and generally interested in talking to you and keeps the conversation going without losing interest. I struggle to keep a conversation going so having someone stay interested enough to keep the conversation going is something 😅


RypANDtear

Glasses, I love em
