If you’ve no idea what I’m talking about, then you’ve never seen [this man](http://www.patriagrande.net/mexico/ezln). Or heard him speak. In Spanish. About _anything_ whatsoever. 😉 Quite possibly the sexiest man alive, and I’ve never seen his face. \*\* Thank you, **Lark** , I haven’t laughed that hard in a while. That’s going on my desktop. This may be kind of sick, but, uh, preachers. Not just any preachers, though. Wild-eyed, frothy-mouthed, hellfire-and-damnation, Church-of-the-Nazarene-esque preachers, the kind that aren’t often found outside of old Western movies. Don’t ask. Also, grey hair and light beard stubble. Especially grey beard stubble. Especially when the fine man in question rubs his chin and you can hear his stubble scritch against his hand. Ooh, and freckles on the top of the forearm. ---

(Why do you think so many men post on the SDMB? To “fight ignorance”? Yeah, sure, _that’s_ why…) But I am never one to back down from a challenge, so tonight I’ll try to get online scrabble at [games.com](http://games.com) to stop crashing my PC… ---

After Scott stayed over last night, I have a new one to add-watching a guy sleep. We were watching movies, and he passed out on my couch, so I just let him stay and didn’t wake him. He was so peaceful looking, I just wanted to pounce on him! (Which I did as soon as he woke up…) ---

You mean besides handguns? Orange t-shirts. I don’t know why exactly, and it depends on the guy’s coloring, but man… ---

(Which I did as soon as he woke up…) \*\* I’ll totally second this. I woke up my boyfriend the other day…_so_ cute. Peaceful, and defenseless…-smiles and shakes head- And I kinda pounced on him after he woke up, too. It really depends on the guy, but there are some skinny-as-a-rail guys that can pull it off wonderfully without looking anorexic or starved. With swingy hair. Hm. And guys who wear funny plaid, or silly kid T-shirts. -grins- Nice. ---

Freckles. Lots of them. Trust me, there ain’t nothin’ sexier than a fine-looking man with freckles all over his arms, face, hands, legs…mmmmmmm. ---

back on the original topic, I’m not sure if this is “supposed” to be sexy or not, but something that I always find incredibly sexy is a woman who shares in my interests/hobbies/tastes. ---

A woman wearing white and/or casual clothes. (white=purity perhaps?? _shrug_). A woman getting dressed and putting makeup on. A woman with glasses, especially reading. A woman wrapped up in a blanket to keep warm. Put this all together in a wife and she’d get very little reading done. (rowr!). ---

- vidient’s\* birthmark. I never went looking for a woman with a birthmark, but… second date: There’s the crimson port wine stain splashed on her neck, dives under her sleeveless sweater. picks up again on her shoulder, trickles down her arm. Now I find necks & shoulders sexy in themselves, so this only draws more attention to them. there’s a lull in the conversation. me: “I’m finding your birthmark very sexy. And I can’t help _wondering_ where all it goes” her: big smile. [sub]and it wasn’t long before I found out. but I ain’t tellin you[/sub] ---

> [@](#): > > I am a guy and I’m crazy about Marcos! THANK you **red\_dragon60**! I’ve felt like a fruitcake ever since I posted that. 😛 If you’re a Marcos fan and have never seen the documentary _A Place Called Chiapas_, I highly recommend you watch it. The interview at the end gives me goosebumps. ---

A small tatoo on the back of the neck. I can’t say why but it is very hot. ---

I thought I was the only sick puppy that thought the slight whiff of beer just before and while you’re kissing a guy is unbearably sexy. I’m talking makes my knees weak. I’m also crazynutsinsanefaintingpanting over Bing’s beard. You just have no idea how terribly hot it makes me. Basically, if I could keep him smoking, drinking beer, and not shaving, we’d never make it out of the house. ---

A woman that can beat me at the staring game. I’m sorry if it sounds kinda childish but if they can stare me down they’re hotter than ice on a sunburn, WOOOWEEE!!! ---

A woman reading. Especially when she’s really concentrating, biting her bottom lip a little, and reaches up to brush her hair back behind her ear. Damn, that’s hot. I think the reading thing implies intelligence and an interest in learning, which I find very sexy. It’s odd when you get turned on at the library though. [Anecdote] I was attempting to court a young lady once, and at one point she said “Oh, I hate reading.” _Screeeech! CRASH!_ It was all downhill from there. [/Anecdote] ---

This will sound so odd… A man with a giggle. When they laugh so hard they giggle, that drives me wild.
