When a guy scratches his stomach or chest under his shirt and you get a sudden flash of belly and abs. ---

Blue or green crinkly, smiley eyes on a man make me swoon. ---

No chubby chasers checked in yet? OK, I’ll be the first. Specifically, I like women with a big belly and big boobs. Pregnant women = automatically hot. Even more specifically, weight gain is a turn on. I wouldn’t say any of this is that unusual given the number of sites/youtube channels devoted to this kind of thing, but it’s certainly atypical. ---

> [@etv78](#): > > HMS-Have good luck finding your dream woman? Occasionally I can get my wife to let her pits go wild, but not for very long. She’s insecure about breaching social expectations like that. In general the women I do see letting themselves go unshaven also have a bunch of piercings, tattoos, or other attention-seeking styles. Which is I don’t judge or denigrate, but I do not feel any interest toward attention-seekers. ---

> [@Dead\_Cat](#): > > Pregnant women = automatically hot. I don’t particularly have a thing for large women at all, but for the past couple of years, about since I turned 33, I seem to have been developing a weird pregnancy fetish. I think it’s my biological clock going off. (Although I’m a man. Do men have biological clocks?) It’s actually frightening to me, and I hope it passes, since I have absolutely no plans to reproduce, and I can’t stand kids. Actually, I’m thinking about getting a vasectomy just in case (which, to be honest, only a stupid fear of scalpels near my junk has kept me from so far), just to make sure that I won’t be able to act on any stupid ideas. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > Green hair. Usually, I find women much more attractive in their natural hair color than dyed, but there’s just something about green hair. It’s fake red hair for me, but only the lighter versions. Blue works, too. But the weird thing about it is that it must be done well. Red can work if done poorly, as long as it’s not too dark. I also have a thing for women in pajamas, and I don’t just mean the sexy kind. It’s something about the softness of the material. I think it comes from an experience at a sleepover back in the day. I do understand the pregnancy thing, too. It’s weird, though. It only works if you were already hot before, and there is no mistaking your pregnancy for being just overweight. And you have to be in the glowing period. It’s weird. ---

Acne (on women). It’s biological and hormonal and alive and animal, and nothing about it has ever been a turn off for me, so, mmm. ---

Veined hands. A natural slump. I’m partial to big noses and glasses but they don’t have to have. Silky hair whether straight or tightly coiled. Not “muscular.” Acting a fool is a given; hesitation is a gift. ---

> [@Shakes](#): > > I was just thinking this the other day: Pink clothing on black women is hot. Coincidentally, _I_ was just about to post: Pastel blue clothing on blonde women is hot. The white women I’m typically into are dark-featured brunettes. But a blonde woman in pale blue and some kind of sun dress? \*That \*I am very into.
