One thing that made me swoon for my guy is his red power tie. It looks very all-business but when you get up close, you see it has little dinosaurs on it. Completely adorable! ---

The google ads on this thread are great! Thanks to them I know that the popular responses are related to owning a dog, being a parent and being healthy and fit. Deep down, I _always_ knew Google would be insturmental in me finding true love… ---

Just HAD to pop in for this one. The day I told my boyfriend I wanted to study Anthropology and his response was “Sweet!” he totally had me. The usual response I get to that is a blank stare followed by “Is that the dinosaur thing?” Talk nerdy to me, baby… ---

When my boyfriend wears his glasses it is all I can do not to rip his pants off. Men in glasses are at the top of my Sexy List. ---

I like a guy who starts playful arguments. Like the one who forced me to defend the word “every” in casual mention that a store had every season of the Simpsons on DVD 😃 ---

> [@featherlou](#): > > I’m a big fan of playfulness/silliness/goofiness. I find it very attractive when a man is mature and self-reliant and dependable (good job, does what he has to do, all that stuff), but also enjoys collecting silly things or watching silly movies or things like that. Ooooh, you’re all naming my favorite things!! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ladies-a-poll-silly-things-that-make-a-man-attractive-to-you/484957.md?page=2)
