Bored Panda got in touch with the woman who asked the question in the first place, so we wanted to hear if there was a specific incident that caused her to turn to the internet. “My husband often compliments small things that I don't notice on myself and forget to appreciate them,” she shared.

“So I was curious what men think and usually find attractive about women, when it comes to very tiny things. Details matter, and I think women sometimes focus on the wrong things.”

THIS. A girl endlessly, passionately rambling about something she absolutely loves is the most attractive thing EVER. And I promise that for the right person, you're not "annoying" or "too much" for doing this.

The thread ended up having hundreds of comments, so we also wanted to hear her opinion on why so many people ended up finding it engaging. “I think what made it popular was because the answers made people realize that small things we enjoy are making our lives happier and they were reminded of that by this post.”

"What Minor Things Are Very Attractive On Women, But They Never Seem To Realize It?" (30 Answers) Just being so comfortable in their body. when they look like it's so natural to be relaxed without trying to flirt or worry about their appearance. smiling for no reason. a posture that is welcoming, inviting.

I love that being welcoming and inviting is attractive and I hate being that person (yet here I go) but for myself (I absolutely don't claim to speak for all women) I sometimes hesitate to be those things. I've heard several people (male and female) complain that someone else was clearly interested in them, even if they said no, because they invited the attention. It's happened to me too, while I was standing next to my partner, and all I meant to be was polite. I even checked with them and the other people we were with and nope, I apparently wasn't being inappropriate, just nice. It's such a slippery slope. The only way I ever figured it out was to ask if they wanted to go out on a date. It's hard to misinterpret "no". At least it shouldn't be. I may get downvoted here, but I'm not arguing these things aren't attractive, just giving another perspective on why you might not see them as often.

We also wanted to hear if she had any personal examples and favorite comments. “An example could be an earring, a small pearl earring can be very attractive for some and shows the soft beauty of a woman. My favorite I think was a "passion for hobbies", it is always lovely to see someone genuinely enjoying what they do, regardless of gender.”

"What Minor Things Are Very Attractive On Women, But They Never Seem To Realize It?" (30 Answers) Honestly just casual women, not all dolled up. I think sweat pants and an old T-shirt with hair tied up in a messy pony tail looks more attractive than fancy dress, makeup and perfect everything. Still look beautiful dressed up, but I think the messy look shows they’re confident in themselves and don’t care what others think at that time. It feels
More vulnerable and like they trust you enough to see them with their imperfections.

Oh and sometimes quirky teeth it’s fun seeing a smile with imperfect teeth.

"What Minor Things Are Very Attractive On Women, But They Never Seem To Realize It?" (30 Answers) Baseball cap with the ponytail pulled out the back. Men’s dress shirt and pajama bottoms in the morning. A tiny wisp of hair it comes out near the ear that seems a little bit messy, but just fits perfectly on your face. And lastly, the small gap between the end of your skirt and the top of your boots. That’s small amount of skin that doesn’t really, have a traditional sexy value just look so damn good on you.

They were asking for minor things. For most men Intelligence is a MAJOR thing (one way or the other). And lets be real, a person that's passionate about their job is usually in a specialist field (which is fine, but not that common), or too career-driven. If your job is your whole life, what room is there for us? If your job is your whole personality, then you have no substance. I've dated solicitors (Lawyers), bar staff, a magazine editor, models... My wife works in retail, and she's just as interesting as anyone else. Anyone, male, female, or otherwise, that prioritises their job is a red flag. But most guys don't actually care what you do for a job, just that it's not too stressful or affecting your mental health.
