Women who wear hair scrunchies as a bracelet. Women who wear knit caps. As ponytail through a baseball cap is good too as others have said. Capri pants ---

Hmm, people tell me I look like Adrien Brody fairly often, even have a cow-orker who calls me “Adrien”. Looks like I’d better keep my distance from **panache** and **DB** , especially if either of them have pink or blue hair! ---

(First, for the record, I’m a guy who likes girls.) Attached earlobes. Apart from that, I like women who never wear dresses or high heels. Sneakers are good, especially Converse. And baggy jeans. I’m no fan of those tight jeans that make a woman look like she’s about to explode out of her clothes if you poke her with a pin. They just look uncomfortable. I like women who don’t wear bras. Of course, that’s not too easy to come by, and it does set a limit on size in the chestal area. So it’s not really something I seek out, but it’s good if it happens. I had one girlfriend who would never wear regular panties, only [this](http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/236x/75/20/78/7520784705fb63465079fa97b7b2b438.jpg) style of girl boxers. For some reason, I freaking \*loved \*that. So, basically, although I prefer my women to be feminine, overall, I seem to get a kick out of them dressing like men. Well, not completely like men, but like men in a feminine sort of way. How weird is that? I also like them to smell natural. No perfumes, please. Sweat, I’m fine with. A woman who has just been out jogging is sexy. No make-up either, if possible, or at least keep it to a minimum. ---

> [@Dung\_Beetle](#): > > Agreed! Good Lord, that second picture is hot! \< swoons \> Okay, if a guy I was to date was tall (like 6’3"), on the skinny side, had longish hair, a cute set of sleeves, maybe a soul patch (oh, don’t even), typically wore hiking boots, no cologne and had maybe a simple, cloth, multi-colored bracelet or two? I’d never leave my bunk. ---

A woman who has just been out jogging is sexy. No make-up either, if possible, or at least keep it to a minimum. I agree with all of this, except the earlobe part, which I have no preference one way or the other. No perfume is huge, no or little makeup is crucial as well. No high heals. “Small chest, no bra” is nice too. No panties at all is pretty good too. ---

If you really want to make the statement “I’m an adult and I don’t care what you think”, don’t get a tattoo. Stop shaving your armpits. When I see a well put-together woman who doesn’t shave her pits, suddenly I want to know every single thing about her. Weird, I know. ---

A woman in scrubs. Seems like the quintessential bland, functional work wear, but maybe that’s why I like them. Come to think of it, a woman in mechanic’s coveralls is also quite attractive. ---

Crows feet. I love those little wrinkles at the outer corner of the eyes. ---

> [@Martian Bigfoot](#): > > \*Especially \*covered in engine grease. Who’s a dirty girl? I’m tallish (used to be taller until I got hitched and settled down - that line is from my shortish grandfather) and I seem to like very short and very slender or thin men - although there is such a thing as too skinny for me. They must look like an adult and not a child, and they shouldn’t be too young anyway - i.e. they should be around my generation. I guess the unusual part of all this is the shortness that seems to attract me. Aren’t there any gay jockeys (or ex-jockeys)? In all my years I’ve never knowingly met one. ---

Hairy men. I abhor the current trend of back-waxing and hair removal for men; that’s an instant turn-off for me. A prominent [nasolabial fold](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasolabial_fold). Weird, I know. ---

On a woman: \*Clavicles - a not-too-bony set of collarbones (preferably strapless dress), \*That spot on the back where a “Tramp stamp” would go, \*That gentle swell of belly between the navel and the top of bikini drawers. So, to re-cap: If I spot a lady in a strapless bikini top and even a floor length, slit-up-one-side skirt that tops out at the C-section zone, get the drool bucket and a mop. I’ll be in my bunk. ---

Wow you guys are weird, or maybe I am. The only thing I think of that fits this thread is my attraction to women in short shorts and heels/pumps, but older women only. There is something that attracts me to nice legs on an older woman, say 35-50. I am 27 and do not care for it on women my age and younger. I shudder when I see teenage girls wearing heels. ---
