I tend to find somewhat “gothy-y” woman hot. Piercings (within reason), oddly colored hair, wearing black… I find myself wanting to flirt with these women. Which makes no sense whatsoever. Not that there’s anything wrong with being goth-y, but I’m intellectually almost certain that gothiness is NOT a trait that correlates with being-a-good-mate-for-Max.
Do I like to go to raves? Do I listen to emo-ish rock music? Would I ever get a piercing, or a punk hairstyle, or (for that matter), a hairstyle of any sort? Do I experiment with mind altering substances, of the legal or illegal varieties? No, no, no and no.
I don’t know what outer physical characteristics/fashion choices correspond with “Women who like to spend their weekends at home playing pictionary and/or attending broadway shows”, but it sure isn’t gothiness.
On a slightly different tack, I’m 33 now, but still perk up when meeting a woman in her late teens/early 20s. As if a 19-year-old either (a) would want to go out with a 33-year-old guy, or (b) would be someone I would actually have enough in common with to enjoy spending extensive amounts of time with. This, however, I can blame on biology…
A guy mowing the lawn. Seriously! I have no idea why I find it so appealing, but a guy I’d never be attracted to in a zillion years is suddenly sexy while mowing the lawn. And no, Dr. Freud, my *mother *was the one to mow our lawn!
Sometimes watching people smoke. A guy smoking…it can be really hot. Visually, I mean. Not so much in terms of odor/taste. And biologically it makes more sense to be attracted to the one who will give me babies and not smoke near them.
I mean, geez, it’s not like I don’t have a plethora of experiences to pick from proving to me that glasses do not automatically equate to intelligence (which I know I find attractive). I’ve known, and currently work with, way to many bespectacled bimbos to assume that.
But it doesn’t matter. Glasses == The Hawt.
Stockings, too. Same deal there. Plenty of fugly women wear 'em, plenty of hotties don’t, why the hell should they make a difference? But they do.
And combine the two? Oh, hell, forget it. I’m a drooling cave-man at that point.
Glasses? And stockings? WUH-MAN! OOK! OOOK! WUH-MAN!
Things you find romantically attractive, for no good reason
A woman brushing her hand across my back, even innocently. I do my best to play it cool, but it always sends very specific zings of joy bouncing throughout my body. And if they ever see your eyes go half-lidded in response, you’ll set off their ‘ick’ meters big-time.
Women who are good at doing something with their hands. Deft, dexterous, confident hand movements are utterly enthralling to me. Whether it be painting, knitting, machining brake rotors or playing the guitar, it’s hot.
I have a thing for Asian women. I dont know if it’s the exoticness or the perceived cute look, but I definitely get more excited with Asian women than with, how we say, domestic women.
Flaws, or perceived flaws. Freckles, awesomely bad hair (really crazy curly or cowlicks that have been allowed to grow out), or a gap between the front teeth.
Small breasted women wearing tight shirts and men with great posture.
Oh, and genuine laughter always attracts my attention- from both men and women.
I usually have nothing in common with guys who look like that and for relationships I always pick the sweet, geeky sorts of guys. (I consider myself a geek so I mean that in a positive light.) But when it comes to pure attraction… well, it’s the tree-hugging, earthy-crunchy, vegetarian, long-haired, anti-establishment, free love type that I go for every time.
balding men (but not shaved heads) my Dad still has a full head of hair at 75 so nothing like that.
musicians hands and wrists, I went to a bluegrass concert and the fiddle player was a cutie plus he had this awesome curve in his wrist as he played the fiddle that had me just staring. I can undertand the hands facination but wrists?
Tongue piercings. I find tongue piercings extremely sexy. I don’t know why; no-one I know has one (except for one co-worker (pant pant)), and I’ve never gone out with anyone who has one.
Short round fingernails with no polish (or invisible clear polish). Combine that with strong hands, a round face, and a stocky, curvaceous build, and you’ve got my attention. I guess I just like the East European peasant look…
As far as what I find attractive in men for no good reason, if a man can fix anything at all it is super sexy. I once jumped my boyfriend for fixing a vacuum cleaner. Also men who can do magic tricks. Every time I see a man who can do magic I add him to my list of men who need to be in my pants.
I am not sure when it started but I have always found women that enjoyed sucking penises strangely arousing. I also like women in sweat pants or other regular exercise gear especially if they have a pony tail.
