Isn’t every man? 
Count me in! I love a woman who can cuss up a storm! That totally turns my crank!
One of my best friends is a woman with an amazing combination of pure class coupled with the ability to curse like nobody’s business. Scott Adams (of Dilbert fame) has said that every successful businesswoman he ever met could “curse like a wounded pirate.” I told my friend that and she loved it, especially since she’s a businesswoman herself.
Another fairly unusual thing I find attractive on a woman is very short hair. Ooh, bay-bee…
Ok. I have seen a bunch of my favorites posted already (glasses, woman wearing a dress shirt, willingness to swear) but there is one I have not yet seen . . . middle age. A very inexact way of describing it but let me try to elaborate: I don’t know exactly what it is but ever since high school I have had a thing for women in the 35 to 55 age range. The college sorority girl can be cute, but the word “sexy” is reserved for women who wear time well. The attraction hasn’t diminished with time either. I still find my self staring (probably too long) at women in public places who are 40ish.
How could I have forgotten?
I find thin lips very sexy on a woman. There’s one woman in another division who’s been in a working group with me the past few years. If I’m talking to her and not looking her in the eye, are my eyes wandering to her breasts? Nope, not half that far: I’m looking at her lovely slender lips, as they shape the words she’s saying.
I never understood this business of women getting injections to make their lips fuller. Nothing wrong with full lips, but to me, going out of your way to get them would make about as much sense as a redhead dying her hair brown.
Mmmmm, redheads…
This is a great thread for all those glasses admirers out there. Myself included.
That’s awfully nice of you but doesn’t carrying that little stool around get tiresome?
d&r and staying in hiding for quite some time
Okay, I haven’t seen anything similar to this anywhere in this thread, so I’m feeling even odder than I did when I came in.
A prominent chin.
Particularly when combined with a sharply angled jawline.
I haven’t made a real clinical study of this, and would be hard-pressed to pick out celebrity examples without a picture in front of me, but when thinking over various women I’ve known or seen in passing whom I found particularly attractive, I’ve noticed that the above chin/jawline is a common factor.
It seems especially weird to me, not only because it’s not a trait often mentioned in discussions of the subject, but because it operates subtly, such that I’m often not specifically conscious of it.
There are rounder-faced women that I find attractive, but not in quite so… personal a way.
I don’t care if you are short, tall, thin, round, blonde, brunette, wear glasses, don’t wear glasses… if you can act, I will want you. But you have to be a REALLY fantastic actor in order for this to come into play.
Other include:
-
Women who are unapologetically proud of their body, and who dress accordingly. Any woman who actually talks about her body in a positive way will get my attention instantly.
-
I also will find myself invariably attracted to a woman who has been exerting herself in a natural environment for a while - mussed hair, muddy clothes, sweat. I don’t know why, and am a little disturbed by this one.
-
Women who play basketball. Other sports are irrelevant to me from an attractiveness standpoint, but give me a competitive game of one-on-one and I’m interested.

Wearing a hockey jersey - especially if it’s way too big and
just hangs on her.
A ponytail stuck through the back of a ‘one size fits all’
baseball cap.
…and several other things already mentioned, including
glasses, brown eyes, intelligence…
Corrvin:
Corrvin, did you miss my post on the first page? I’m 5’ 7".
Ballybay, if you get glasses, I may not be held responsible for my actions.
For me, glasses are a HUGE plus. Something about a woman who reads… sigh
A love of good puns (is there such a beast?) is also important. Heck, actually being able to laugh at my lame-ass jokes is a bonus.
She’s gotta love water- swimming, floating, all that.
Liking mexican food and sushi is pretty big, too.
Blonde hair and brown eyes… yum.
Well, well, well,
I generally like fair skin, I like almost any hair color but I’m not into tans. However women of color are nice as well.
I like women who don’t call the cops or get restraining orders.
I love watching a women fussing with her hair but not when she is looking in the mirror. When she brushes it out of her face or is pulling it out of/into a pony tail is really nice. I watched this short hair girl doing this thing where she was just kind of unselfconciously running her finger through her hair and …
glasses check
A nice tailored suit that is very simple and straight foward and then as she twists you can see the lacy bra through the gap in the buttons.
I love a women who knows that I’m not blind because I date her and dosen’t go blind because she dates me.
One who will let me take pictures
One who will want to take pictures of me
One who will occasionally wear stockings of her own accord
I need to be alone now
Don’t be. It’s common, and quite correct. 
This one works on me, too.
Oh, while I’m at it, a woman with an Australian accent just slays me.
Physically, I’ll take all comers, but I really do like small, pixie-ish women with glasses and long hair. I fell wildly in love with one, and I guess I still am in love… I go crazy over round lenses (al a John Lennon). I like it when a lady can command and threaten without so much as raising her voice above a low conversational level. A constant half-smile kind of helps, as is an extreme distaste for violence of any kind. I get strange thoughts over black jeans and dark, loose shirts, but a long, flowing dress drives my hormone levels through the mesosphere.
Fluency in a foreign language is a plus, as is the ability to take and give a beating with a large vocabulary (any woman who knows the proper usage of ‘whence’, ‘whither’, and ‘thither’ is automatically attractive.). Love of reading and nature is a definite plus. A good singing voice, coupled with good taste is like a multiplication sign to me.
That should sum it all up.
Black stockings and boots.

Fiver replied,
I’ll be home tonight putting a CD-ROM in my new computer…if you’d like to come over and hold the screwdriver and cup of screws, I’ll be answering the door. It’s a little chilly outside, so I have plenty of blankets by the computer, but if it gets too hot I can always kick 'em on the floor. Stuff like working on my computer tends to get me really stressed out, but I’ll be getting everything installed so I don’t have to just look at a naked case and motherboard.

Thrasybulus, you are definitely onto something.
Something I wish I was onto right now, in fact.
Women in their 40’s are definitely tops on my list.
I’m 42. Of my last 3 girlfriends,
One was my age.
One was 5 years older than me.
One was 7 years older than me.
All three were flaming tigers in the sack.
…grrrrrrrrrrrOWWWWWWWWLLLLLLL!!!…
Aaahh, Corrvin, Corrvin, you drive me to distraction.
But you live in Oklahoma. If only you currently owned a pair of thigh high leather boots, that would be just enough incentive to send me straight to the airport.
To help you put the screws.
To your appliance.
It’s because it’s so easy to get your hand in her pants. Overalls always make a girl look chunkier, but damn, they’re sexy.
Strange, but except for the painted nails (and the only sport I like is paintball), you just described me. I didn’t know my husband had an account here. Are you leaving on time today, dear?
