Not having cosmetic surgery. Serious girl your lips are perfectly kissable without any lip filler.
My basic rule about cosmetic surgery - If people can tell you've had it, you shouldn't have.
A sense of humor/willingness to be silly.
Ahem, ladies. They don't mean women like me with my perverted sense of black humor.
A combination of self confidence and genuine kindness is very attractive to me. It’s also more rare than you think.
Like, don't be the confidant HBIC, that's a huge turnoff. Be confident and strong, but laugh often!
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.”
Being extremely passionate about their hobbies. .
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.
Not sure about all women but my wife has so many that I daydream at work about coming home and seeing her cute little mannerisms over some silly thing.
Humility.
I hope it's attractive on men, too.
I can't abide braggarts, and the whole "boss babe" and "alpha male" b******t needs to die.
I worked for someone who always telling us how humble he was. He was not engaging in irony, because that concept was beyond him. He did have a great potential for humility because he had so much to be humble about.
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.”
Mental maturity.
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.”
Messy buns & up-do’s. 🤩 Women just be tossing that hair up in about three tenths of a second to get it out of their way… meanwhile I’m sitting there with my jaw on the floor. 🥵.
Them genuinely having fun and making derpy faces that makes for ugly photos. Women, that is the face we fall in love with, not your highly edited instagram photos that took at least 50 tries to get right.
My ex would send me random photos of her pulling silly faces every now and then, with some silly text, like 'my impression of you pooping' and 'drinking my mums tea'.
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.
I am both: some days are sweat pants and old t-shirt days and some days are dressed up days. Us women have layers. Comfy layers.
Pale skin. I f*****g hate fake tan with a passion. Love the ancestry you are a part of. If you are Irish love the fact that you are Irish. Pale skin is gorgeous.
I sincerely hope the same goes for dark skin, i.e. no lighteners. I'm definitely here for the love the skin you're in message though.
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.
I have to throw wearing glasses out there…? I get 3X the male attention when I wear my glasses vs my contacts.
Idk what it is but I love a woman’s neck line, clavicles, and shoulders. I think that’s where a women’s femininity really shines. Audrey Hepburne is a great example. My ex used to wear this shoulderless sweater and it would drive me crazy.
Practicing what they preach, being accountable for their actions, and a lot of the stuff that they tell men is attractive like that.
When they do that little half-smile while lost in thought or when they unconsciously tuck a strand of hair behind their ear — pure magic
Wrinkles are sexy for me especially a bit of crow's feet around the eyes.
Crow's feet around the eyes show that a person has laughed honestly a lot in life.
Braided hair.
Legitimately hilarious sense of humor.
Being really passionate about hobbies.
Being able to hold thoughtful conversations and keep the talking going.
Ability to flirt without being awkward, playing hard to get, or coming across as someone who collects men.
Confidence.
Hoodies/pajamas/baggy t-shirts. Just...reminds me of lazy mornings.
A wide variety of music tastes. I love music and love talking about it with ppl.
I listen to anything opera, rock, pop, country but now put my foot down at baby shark due to dd
Freckles.
I taught two sisters, one covered with freckles and the other without a single one. They were referred to at school as Freckled and Freckless.
Hygiene. My wife uses this body spray after she gets out the shower and every time I smell it it’s like the first time. Nails manicured not overly long but she’s leaning into a more pointed tip because you know…I like it….
Neither body spray nor manicures have anything to do with hygiene. Wanna try again?
Hobbies. It’s nice when they have interests that can spark conversation.
A lot of men ask questions like "What should I talk about with a woman to get her interest?" My reply is "If you don't have a common topic you can spend hours talking about, don't even bother."
Personally, I like a focused woman, I don't mean the serious woman but I mean when she is trying to get a job done, like solving a math, trying a open a tin with a really tight lid, she is focused on "How do I get 5his done?" that's what I mean.
Confidence in yourself to not require validation. Validation is just icing on top of your confidence.
A headlamp. Oh, wait... that's a MINER thing men find attractive on women.
Well, seems like no one here thinks intelligence could be one of the things that make women attractive ... And a woman should be passionate about her hobbies but rather not about her job. Tbh this list grosses me out.
Keeping yourself natural. Stop worrying about weight and smothering yourself in makeup. The softness and curves that come with a healthy amount of body fat are what really makes your body a work of art. Stop trying to get rid of it, often it’s your greatest physical asset.
the eight first .... seemed they were talking about my companion. Yeah, she's the best.
One of mine is when they're able to laugh at themselves. I don't mean in a negative light, but if you make a small mistake like "What was the kid's name in Harry Potter" (my wife's actual comment). It just makes the mistake even cuter.
I used to be so confident with my body but now I have Mom Bod and yeah.. Can't even look at myself anymore (sigh) I'll get there eventually
