Justice, don't take this so personal....this is about the things we like that aren't 'conventionally' attractive'. The 'conventionally attractive' traits won't be mentioned here....okay?

big noses
don't ask....I can't explain it

I'm the same way. I like a good big Roman-looking nose. A Jennifer Aniston nose--yuck.

Also, you'd think most guys like big boobs, I'm generally attracted to the woman with normal or smaller than normal breasts. Anything fake related to beauty like botox in the face, fake breasts, lots of makeup, nope. I'd rather have a lady with a couple of wrinkles in the face, natural breasts, little or no makeup.

Also, I like a small ass on a woman. You'd think most guys like a nice full ass--nope.

Not saying that I wouldn't date a woman with a "perfect nose", big breasts, and full ass. Just that the opposite catch my eye.

I like glasses and crooked teeth on some men. Most of the men I'm attracted to aren't conventionally handsome. There's usually one thing about them that just makes me melt, more often than not, something I can't quite put my finger on. Maybe a certain expression with his eyes, shapely lips...

I think I like a man who isn't loud,flashy or gregarious.When he speaks,he says things well worth listening to.I think thats what makes my mind up for me.Its not the warm smile,the ease at which he seems to be, some things are polished,public personas that seem great at first,but these guys get a bit dull,and loose their shine, especially when they don't seem to recal much about who I am,or show much interest in me...
You know,A few wxtra pounds is fine,as long as the person seems to be looking healthy.A lot about looks is fleeting though.
Give me someone worth spending my time and energy with! Sexual attractiveness that lasts is more than a lot of things that are only superficial...

It's so weird... I've studied Psychology, and most of these replies go against everything I've learnt. Including my own ideas of 'perfection'.

No one ever believes me, but I like large natural breasts that hang with nipples (areola) that go about 4-5 inches across.

Two quite opposite things:

1) That the person is as dominant as I am and intellectually my equal, or

2) That the person is a complete moron and submissive. In this latter case, maybe I'm not looking for a partner but a "pet?"

This year, I've actually met one of each type. However, the person of type #1 is a much better match. (The type #2 person I met probably won't have her freedom much longer as she's involved in organized crime.)

I have studied some psychology too! I am not surprised at some of the for real comments.As someone who wants to practice proffessionally,I found listening between the words works wonders...clean teeht are a definite plus though,in attractiveness....

I like pointed teeth, like someone said earlier.
I also like guys with big hands...don't know why.

well..without intention and simply using historical data as precedent...i would have to say b#tches. i don't mean your common run-of-the-mill snobby b#tch. i'm talking about the "i'll be sweet to you at first until i real you in then i'll spend all your money, move my mother in, you can't leave the house except work and back since i don't have a job anymore but i will sleep with every guy within a 25 mile radius EXCEPT you" b#tch. since i joined my support group, i'm doing much better...that is as long as i'm taking my medication...

A high forehead (receding hairline), or hair styled giving the appearance of same, flares MY nostrils!

As a young woman, because I was always the shortest kid in my class, (also very unathletic), I was very self-consious about my height. So I always prefered men my height or shorter. Have also prefered writers, musicians, artists. And men with disabilities

It wasn't until I was in my 30's, that I lost that self-consiousness & learned that height really doesn't matter, when the right sparks fly. (My last husband, was 6'9")

I tend to be attracted to men who have gone through a nasty ration of sh*t (usually major physical or psychological truama) during their life, and have managed to come out the other side as better, more compassionate people. (That last part's important - I'm not good with the "wounded birds.")

Two things.

Intelligence...and I don't just mean they can tie their own shoes. I mean witty, clever, funny, and sarcastic intelligence.

Glasses. I LOVE glasses on men. I don't know what it is, but they're so damned sexy I can't stand it. So I sit down. :)

This is such a cool thread! Like some others here, I like a "rough around the edges" looking guy, tats, piercings, and BIG - 6'3 or more and over 200 pounds, as someone else here mentioned.

Something else I really like is a man who looks like he just got out of bed - you know, messy hair, sleepy eyes...that is HOT for me!

Let's see:

-glasses (definitely)
-dark/twisted/obscure sense of humor
-gaming fanatic
-flat small mole on face someplace...usually around lip or somewhere on cheek
-longer fingernails (clean underneath though)
-slightly androgynous facial features but masculine structure and body
-huge attraction to geek types (especially geeks who are artistic)
-intense expression/look (some guys just have this serious/"intellectual" look naturally)
-gap between two front teeth (but not so big to where it looks like an entire tooth is missing)
-piano hands (nice hands with a delicate graceful look to them)
-very little to little body hair overall (especially regarding chest, face and back)
-wide smile/grin (especially a smirkish smile)


that's all I can think of now...

I'm a geeky girl and in return I like geeky guys.
(most of my friends like so called "pretty boys" - gym freaks, care about their cars etc, not me , I like him to be a reader, into computers and museums etc)

a warped sense of humour to match my own is always a plus.

I like "guy" guys , you know , they sometimes have stubble , they don't have perfect bodies, their hair sometimes gets messy so they throw on a baseball cap , they wear jeans a lot etc.

glasses make me droool.
also for some reason have a weakness for rough hands, I dunno, can't explain it, I like the contrast/feeling when his big rough hands are holding my tiny soft hands.

k now where the heck is my glasses wearing , stubbly , messy haired rough handed computer geek already!??!?!?

nerds and librarians. anyone a little vulnerable who is not a basket case. someone who has had to suffer a little bit and knows what it means to be humbled.

shorter hair as opposed to long Fructis hair. oh you know what I mean. although it's easier to see the neckline which I find one of the most appealing parts of the female form.

i know it's not part of the question, but i don't tend to like go-getters. there's something a bit too intense about their hyper-ambitiousness. it's as if life's always just a moment away from becomming a complete and utter disaster if the eyes should drift from the road ahead. plus there's this feeling that life is more something to be conquered than embraced. i don't care if someone takes this path. but i don't find it attractive.

oh. and i stay away from do-gooders and know-it-alls.

Not conventionally attractive things? well I like "geeky" guys... guys who like cartoons and comics and superhero movies and video games.

I don't think that a fascination with Star Wars is geeky, but I like Star Wars fans as well as Star Trek fans.

In general TV geeks do it for me too, more so if I am into the same shows they wanna geek out about

I think I know what you mean. I like tall big size men. Average looks are fine with me. I like a stimulating personality more and don't give looks too much thought.
