Shoulders. Broad, fairly muscular shoulders.
Thank Og I’m married. Now I only have to be concerned with what turns one woman on! Luckily, it’s things I can, and do, do. 
Oh, honey…!
I think you misspelled ‘merit’.
:smack: I thought you were gay.
My SO has this talent at giving me INCREDIBLE hugs. Makes it hard to let him leave for work some mornings!
Darwin, were you around for 9/11? If not, then you missed out on all the threads where women were just going insane about how turned on they were by all the firemen and cops and emergency workers. There was one picture of a dirty, smoky fireman walking out of a building carrying a baby out of a building and I swear ten Doper women called moving companies…
And this was just from looking at pictures of what were, otherwise, just a bunch of dirty, sweaty ordinary guys…
That’s the nicest thing anyone has said to me all day! 
I’ve got all the above mentioned advantages. Feel like Valentino (you know, that irrrresistible latino of the 1920s)
Well, you’re welcome, then. 
I’ve always classed you among the gay dopers, this thread was a real shock to me.
Baby shmaby. You just want all the chyx to know you’re involved in an activity that “is terribly unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity or neglect.”
(Come to think of it, that could apply equally as well to baby-chewing as to aviation…)
Huh.
Yesterday, I sent my GF a goofy [POSSIBLY NOT WORKSAFE] animated gif that I made from a kitschy plaster statuette of a couple in coitus.
It’s quick-and-dirty and deeply flawed, but her reply was:
My reaction was pretty much “WTF?” Making the hands appear to be attached to wrists, that I could see. Why should they look like my stubby little hands?
Thanks for shedding some light on that.
Ok, I’ll spill the beans. The ultimate turn-on for all women is men who post to the SDMB.
Some stuff in general:
Eye contact and being an “active listener”.
Being a kind person. It’s a real buzz kill to have a person who’s doted on you all night turn and rip into a waiter or a salesclerk.
My own odd preferences:
A a guy with a lame, pun filled sense of humor.
Somethings which are atypical of what most women like -
I love feminine men. So don’t give up hope and feel free to embrace your girly side! It isn’t a turn off to all of us women!
I also love men who aren’t from wealthy families. That’s right, money is a turn off for me unless you’ve earned it yourself.
Short men - I think 5’7 is a very nice height. As long as you are above 5’2 and under 6’1, I’m fine!
Darwin’s Finch, I’d date you, I have a thing for intelligent men!
Guys who are good at something physical. Doesn’t have to be anything specific, but watching a man work is a turn-on. Even if he’s just playing pool…as long as he’s good at it, I find it sexy.
Does that include DDR?
Well, since it was originally my threat that started all this: things that turn me on (on a temporary, short term, hourly relationship which I have had since I was single): good looks, broad shoulders, great legs, leaving the top three buttons undone, dancing slow with arms around my neck, resting on my shoulders…
Things on a long term: broad shoulders, strong arms, great hands (see other post), gotta be a tradesman versus office, great legs, long kisses without trying to suck my face off…eyes that look right at me, straight and long…
THREAD, not threat :smack: (okay, apparently we now know the conversation that makes ME stutter).
You have totally described me. Except for the 6-pack thing. I have a full case, possibly a pony keg.
Now, now. I never said I wasn’t willing to negotiate. Can you dance?
Long hair, facial hair, tattoos, and a Motorhead t-shirt. Meow.
