Competence. Smooth, articulate, unaffected skill in something.
voice, the right voice can turn my head like no super model every could.
There is something about some girls’ back that I can’t quite put my finger on(hehe). Backs were never at the top of my list, but some girls in a backless gown just make me lose my mind. For instance in ‘The man with one Red Shoe’ The blonde chick who played the spy was hot, but not amazeing. But in the bedroom scene where she is trying to seduce Hanks wearing that backless dress just turned me on to no end.
The kind of woman that I consider sexy?
She has an East European accent. Or a South American accent. Or a West European accent. A Chinese accent. [sub]Heck, any accent[/sub]. Speaks more than one language, and/or is willing to learn. Friendly to Esperanto.
Smart. Self-confident. Unafraid to think for herself. Knowledgeable, and still willing to learn. Unafraid of science and math and art and music, even if she is not actively interested in them. An avid reader.
Liberated (not fettered) by her religion, and willing to meet other religions on equal grounds. Does not believe that humanity is by default evil. Does not believe that the human body is shameful. Does not mistake her own preferences for moral absolutes.
Pleasingly plump. Gracefully slender. Long hair. Short hair. 
The right woman is by definition beautiful, whatever she looks like… [sub]but I do like plump women…[/sub]
Willing to cuddle, and also allow herself to be supported.
At other times, willing to enjoy sex without shame. 
No makeup, not a lot of makeup, or (at most) makeup skilfully worn. Comfortable in her clothing, no matter what she wears. Able to use fashion, not be captive to it.
Definitely not a tobacco smoker (although I’m a little more openminded with respect to marijuana). Drinks alcohol socially at most.
Definitely not a snob: disdainful of predjudice and social strata.
Able to move in many different social situations, and retain her composure and balance.
Interested in children, and respectful of them as people in themselves.
[sub]Now I only I could live up to a set of standards as tough as that…[/sub]
Hmm… I’m a fan of girls who wear baseball caps and pull their hair (possibly in a ponytail) through the hole in the back. For some reason, I find that amazingly cute.
Simple pleasures, eh?
Girls that wear baseball caps. Mmmmm.
Girls that are at least 8" shorter than me drive me wild.
Glasses, oh yeah glasses.
Also girls that don’t know how to cook. As I love cooking for them.
Sense of humor, far and above everything else.
Self-confidence
Intelligence
Eclectic tastes
Kindness
Enthusiastic kisser
British, Carribean, Appalachian, and Deep South accents
Lets me cook most of the time, please.
Can be sexually aggressive or passive, depending on her mood.
T-shirts and blue jeans and sandals! Oh my!
Not afraid of spiders and snakes
Finally…I don’t care if she’s blonde, brunette, or redheaded, but if there’s hair anywhere else on her body…it should match.
After reading Sunspace’s list of qualifications, I just have two questions.
- Isn’t Virginia Heinlein already taken?
- Where does an up and coming Renaissance Gal learn Esperanto nowadays?
Corr, who thinks that list sounded like a pretty good “decent human” list
Shoulderblades.
Outré noses.
That Spot 1/4" under the middle of the left clavicle.
Blondes with dark eyebrows.
Estonian rocket scientists.
Metallurgists. Dental Assistants. Yak herders.
Women with lips.
A husky, dusky, whisky cracked voice married to music, one that sounds seductive ordering coffee.
- Okay, so I read a lot of Heinlein stuff when I was a kid.
- There’s a lot of Esperanto stuff on the net; I started with an email course, then later found a club in my city.
Well, of course, hard headed pushy bitches. (sigh) Love 'em.
While being vain is a complete turn off, I cannot stand being told I am wrong when I find a woman beautiful. No, dammit, they are not too small, the freckles are great, but it’s not the parts, it’s the gestalt. Now when a woman can shut the hell up about not being gorgeous, and just think for a minute what I mean, then listen up, “You really look great, to me, and no, it ain’t just because I want you to feel good.”
The ones who get the point get even hotter.
Now then, let’s talk about being enthusiastically hot. Ooo. Jenna Elfman, and Susan Sarandon come to mind. Hot on purpose. Not glamour, or even looks, but exciting because they are excited. Ooo.
And the other end of it, Hot by Accident. Jody Foster, especially after she grew up. Katherine Hepburn, pretty much her whole life.

“Courtship consists in a number of quiet attentions, not so pointed as to alarm, nor so vague as not to be understood.” ~ Laurence Sterne ~
After meeting all the requisite requirements (brains, sense of humor, etc.), the icing on the cake for me has always been…
…chest freckles.
Knows how to cook - If you’ve got good veggie lasagna just shoot me and tie me to the hood.
Nice voice and knows how to speak well
Sense of humor about life and herself
Knows how to dress even if cannot afford expensive clothes
Highly developed skill of some kind and proud of it-
Likes to cuddle
Tells me what she wants with minimal guessing. OK so this is a stupid male fantasy but maybe one day
Faithfulness
Arty
Likes to bite (sexy biting)
As a Southerner myself, Southern accents from girls have never done much for me. I guess they’re just not exotic to me.
Now, Caribbean accents on the other hand, send me over the moon.
Women who are taller than I can drive me crazy. Long, long legs, parted for few…
Nice surprises are sexy. As opposed to unpleasant ones:
Unpleasant surprise: “I’m married.”
Nice surprise: “I’d like you to tie me up, please.”

Guys, don’t make me use this.
I have to assume you’ve all read the other thread about unusual things women find attractive. The idea here is the word “unusual.”
Knows how to cook? Sense of humor? Intelligence? Willing to enjoy sex? Competence?
Yah. Those are unusual. Particularly around here… :rolleyes:
For me, the only thing that is kind of unusual are women who can kick ass. I don’t find Lucy Lawless or Renee O’Connor particularly sexy when they’re just standing there, but when they’re fighting…
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Dude, you’re going to give your namesake a bad name! I love it!!
A woman with hairy pits, but otherwise well-kept. Not so much the dreadlocked, baggy clothes, hairy legged women. Also, a nice tight stomach gets me going.
I have to agree that things like “sense of humor” aren’t too unusual so I’ll name a few that qualify.
-
Watching women fold laundry turns me on (no, it doesn’t have to be my laundry.
-
Women who smoke once in a while.
-
Bitchy and crabby women. I know this is demented but it turns me on.
-
Pet names. Pet names. Pet names. My girlfriend calls me “sugar bug” and for some reason, it makes me warm and tingly. (She even bought me a lighter with Sugar Bug engraved on it.)
-
Reading in bed with glasses on. HOLY COW.
I guess I should really add that all these things about my girlfriend turn me on - I don’t know that they would in any other women cause I just don’t think about other women any more. Hell, half of being faithful is having a whole lot of pride in being faithful and I’ve got the best!
Tibs.
The important thing about glasses is keeping them on during sex.
A woman with naturally blond hair and brown eyes.
It’s a rare combination, but I’ve known a couple. Stunning.
