Which unusual things do you find attractive in your preferred sex?

Although too much can be overwhelming, I have always found a bit of garlic on a woman’s breath to be a turn on.

I like arm hair. I don’t understand why some women go through the trouble to wax their arms. And not just blonde arm hair. I like dark-colored fuzz too.

And prominent eyebrows. Not unibrows, but eyebrows like Booke Shields had back in the 80s. And precision-plucked brows annoy me.

I should qualify this by adding that these qualities will not make an otherwise unattractive woman attractive, but if she is on the borderline or attractive to me, it will add to my attraction.

What are your out-of-the-ordinary preferences?

Ears.

They are very pretty to look at, but when used correctly, they are Incredibly sexy.

I like guys with a scrawny little wiry physique. The archetype would be Anthony Perkins in Psycho.

Aquiline noses are also hot. And long hair.

So…Snape? I guess that’s not so unusual after all!

I like guys who are about my height or slightly shorter, in contrast to the stereotype of taller-is-better. It’s not that height takes a man off the “possible” list, I just prefer notably shorter than 6 feet.

Women with thick bushy eyebrows or monobrow. Or even a trace of a mustache. Or hair growing down the back of their neck.

Green hair. Usually, I find women much more attractive in their natural hair color than dyed, but there’s just something about green hair.

Women who can reverse park.

Women with very high arched feet.

Totally with you on that one. It’s one of my favourite features on people like Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Connelly.

I don’t know if it’s unusual, but I like ponytails pulled through the back of a baseball cap. And I like the strappy sandals that wrap up the leg a ways, gladiator style, but without heels.

My three simple rules for dating:

a) She must have long hair,
b) She can’t have any piercings anywhere on her body except for those in her ears,

  • aaaaaaaand, for the purposes of this thread -

c) her dad must be a Dire Straits fan.

Right there with ya.

For some reason, I like women in uniform - police uniforms, military uniforms, nurse’s uniforms, business uniforms (suits), Catholic schoolgirl uniforms…

On women that can pull it off, I’m very attracted to really short hair. Also, certain “non-mainstream” women’s hairstyles of various lengths.
I notice and like highly groomed eyebrows on a woman. Hate the big bushy ones.

For me it’s pink or blue hair, or even just streaks of it. I have no idea why, but it sets my heart aflutter.

The way she walks. I can tell if a woman is beautiful from a block away, just by the way she walks. Once that is established, no closer inspection can shift the cumulative score to negative.

My wife’s eyebrows were one of the first things I noticed about her when we met. I don’t think I’m usually an “eyebrow guy”, but I remember thinking she had great eyebrows the first time I saw her.

Ability to spell and perpendicular nostril hair.

I also like birthmarks shaped like Australia, but only on the left side of the body for some reason.

You and I are on the same path, but I’m a little further along than you are.

Yes, scrawny, and even bony. Not much muscles and single-digit fat. Very aquiline noses. Eyebrows that are “sad,” rather than “angry,” and have NOT been “manscaped.” Sometimes facial hair.

This gets my heart racing.

I like a squarish jawline- think Bridget Fonda (yum). And when she has nice teeth (same cite), even better.

I also like when a woman has a longer torso and shorter legs, as opposed to the “ideal” of legs that go all the way up to her chin. It won’t make an otherwise unattractive woman attractive, but it will ratchet a “nice looking” woman up to “oooh, I really like that” level.

Agreed!
