> [@Skald\_the\_Rhymer](#): > > Longer-than-average noses. > [Paget Brewster](http://www.beyondhollywood.com/uploads/2010/12/Paget-Brewster.jpg) is not hot \*in spite \*of her proboscis, but in large part \*because \*of it. I also love women who have noses larger than the “ideal”, although [Sara Bareilles](http://www.sara-bareilles.com/pictures/albums/Appearances/TRL12808/79414075_10.jpg) is the first person who came to my mind. Pantyhose. I’ve always felt they’re far sexier than bare legs or garters. Why isn’t something that makes the entire lower half of a women’s body glisten be sexy? One piece swimsuits. Especially with ones cut high on the leg, they hug a woman’s body in a very appealing way. ---

Glasses. Unlike the “ugly duckling” or “boring librarian until she takes off her glasses” meme that is popular in film and TV, I think a lady in glasses need not take them off, and I don’t care what she does with her hair. But a lady in glasses looks pretty good to me. ---

[Slightly buck teeth](http://www.51allout.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Tim-Southee-299x300.jpg) and/or a [big Roman nose](http://static.episode39.it/artist/366.jpg?t=1210880693). I hate it when I find out that someone has chopped off their big, beautiful nose. ---

I wear glasses, and I always appreciate a man who appreciates them. One fellow was particularly enamored … but the first time we slept together, he slowly slid them off my face with a moony look in his eye. THAT was much sexier than the subsequent shedding of clothes. ---

I don’t think these are generally considered unsexy, but maybe: A nose with a high bridge or a bump in the bridge. Long, strong fingers on a woman. ---

Women’s leather winter coats (anorak style). Zero sex appeal unless you’re me. As seen here, for example: [http://amzn.com/B003XBAWT2](http://amzn.com/B003XBAWT2) ---

“Granny” panties, as they are unfortunately referred to as. In fact, I generally dislike frilly lacy lingerie, and much prefer casual clothes on a woman. ---

> [@miss\_elizabeth](#): > > I like men who are my height, or close to it, which, since I’m 5’4" means I like short men. I also like men with a fair amount of body hair, including back hair, and I like a guy with a bit of a tummy too. Short, hairy, fat men… mmm! I also like body hair, including back hair. I’ll take a nice fat or skinny geek over a guy with muscles any day. I don’t care about height. I’ve had crushes on guys who were shorter than me (I’m 5’4") and guys who were 6’7". That covers most of the range of heights you’ll find in guys. Mr. Neville isn’t around our height, but he’s not particularly tall, does have a tummy, does have body hair, and is a geek. You can’t have him, he’s mine, I saw him first. ---

Short legs on a woman. I know that long legs “up to here” are considered the epitome of sexiness for some, but I like a woman with a long torso and short legs. There’s a woman at my church who sings and leads the congregation in hymns every week. She’s in her 40’s, kind of a soccer mom-type, and usually has a nice dress or skirt on, which always shows off her short, muscular legs. She’s of average looks, but she has the perfect torso-to-legs proportions. I find myself having wicked thoughts as I’m praising the Holiest of Holys.
