Things you find romantically attractive, for no good reason

Yeah, suuuure you will!

Oh, like I didn’t do *that * on purpose.

:rolleyes:

Heh. We need to stop this now.

Shocking. Simply shocking.

Oh, right. Like I’d dare to eat a peach.

I’ll add another. A girl that golfs. I play the sport, and, for some reason, it works for me.

Skinny guys. Bony. Anorexic. Ribs showing. Narrow faces. Sunken cheeks. Narrow hips.

That sounds suspiciously like the Necromancers from Diablo II.

E. Thorp, not bad. Unfortunately my ability to open zippers with my teeth doesn’t extend to cyberspace. :wink:

I have a thing for guys who can play certain songs on the guitar while singing along. Mostly Bob Dylan or Simon and Garfunkel songs. I met an Irish guy once who played and sang “Don’t Think Twice” perfectly - hawt.

So I’m at work, in a meeting and the young, nubile walks past and drags her hand across my neck! Hey, I’m working here. Tens of thousands of dollars are at stake and the only thing I can think of now is not showing my interest.
It was totally innocent but… yowzza!

Nit pick - Woody had red hair.
Obligatory Wiki link

[sub]Though I’ll give ya that in the 60’s it was headed orang-ish.[/sub]

Tall pale skinny and sickly looking guys… esp with bad hangnails or nail bitten fingers. Prominent collar bones. Lately shaved heads, especially the wringles on the backs of necks on men with shaved heads… (except of course tall skinny guys, not a fan of shaved heads on tall skinny guys…no neck wrinkles) The sound of a finger scraping on a guitar string (I’m sure theres a technical term for that, but I dont know it, I just know that it makes the part of my lower abdomen that does flip flops, flip-flop) Ability to talk intensely and passionately about something for hours on end, especially if its either an esoteric or geeky subject.

Just a good brooding stare, that’s all it takes…

Well, talking nerdy is an evident one, but that makes sense.

Long hair (around the right face - it doesn’t always “work”). The other day I was on the train from Barcelona to my home town; there was a “Monsters of Rock” festival in Saragossa and we had a bunch of about 20 people in my car who were going there. Others all over the train, but these were together. Jesus, that was one hot trip… I’ve never been a metalhead (tracks by Mago de Oz and Rammstein in my playlist notwithstanding) but did I say it was real hot in that train? Even though the a/c was at full blast in spite of not being needed at all? Oh, I did…

Mind you, I’ve discovered that an inordinate number of metalheads are perfectly happy to quote LoTR or have that discussion about whether a two-headed dragon behind your back gives a higher bonus to “scare enemy” than a single-headed dragon :smiley:

High manual dexterity kills me dead. Juan Tamariz must be one of the ugliest guys on the planet, objectively, but every time I see him do a card trick I get heat waves.

I apparently gravely mistitled this thread, as nearly everyone has missed the point of it entirely. Perhaps I should have entitled it “Things you find romantically attractive, even though doing so is almost certainly counterproductive as far as you meeting people who you really could be romantically entangled is concerned”.

So… what DO you dress like, then?

That thing where guys ruffle their air and put their hand behind their neck when they’re nervous. I find it adorable, but I dunno why, perhaps early exposure to Michael J. Fox is to blame.

Also, those tatoos that go around the biceps. They’re SO fratty yet also… hawt.

Seriously. Probably a total hijack, but do women even know what that does to the opposite sex…? Our nerve-endings take our heads from business to bedroom in a fraction of a second, but its a damn slow trip back to project specs and the main focus of the meeting. Nothing to do but stare at your coffee cup and think of baseball heroes and second grade math teachers until your business focus returns. That and make sure to only stand up after everyone else is gone from the conference room.

I find men in Carhartt pants attractive, esp. with a tool belt. Usually these guys are construction workers, or work for the electric company, or otherwise are guys that I have nothing in common with and who would think I was an overeducated nerd. Not dating material for me. Nonetheless, if the guy in the pants has a good build, I tend to imagine how great the pants would look on the floor next to my bed.

Now I know what to get my fiance for Xmas.

I like men in business suits-well cut, with nice cufflinks. The cuffs need to be shot a bit, and the hands must be clean and well groomed-no bitten nails. Long, thin, piano playing type fingers would be very nice as well. But not manicured.

And if his hair just touches his collar and that collar is slighltly loosened and his tie is just a bit loose as well…
Oh, my.

But guys like that ignore me. No, I get the ones who are missing teeth, who are old-honey, I mean OLD-and the ones who say things like, “Hey there- your name must be Campbell, 'cause you’re mmm,mmm,mmm, good.”
:rolleyes:

I have no idea if the business guy would be bad for me. I married one and that hasn’t worked all that well, so perhaps not! :slight_smile:

Women wearing men’s clothes, just a little. Like, coming home to see that my girlfriend is fussing around the living room wearing jeans and my shirt. Or the one girl I dated taht once aswered the door wearing her brother’s football jersey…

Is it getting warm in here?

:confused: I don’t get it.

OK, I think I get it. MaxTheVool is asking what traits or behaviors we find attractive in spite of the fact that those same traits pretty much guarantee no relationship is going to happen.

A guy I met a couple of weeks ago. I find him romantically attractive, for not one single good reason I can think of, and despite several very good reasons not to.

Not going there. Too old for this shit. :smack:
