Things about a partner which attract you, but aren't 'conventionally' attractive?

This is probably a bit of a risque thing to post, but anyway... I am curious, so I thought I'd give it a try. Flame me to hell if you wish, because I'm really not very concise when it comes to my explanations, so no doubt I will offend someone...

Is there anything about a partner [physically, psychologically, whatever] that you are attracted to... but that is not 'conventionally' an attractive attribute to have? Don't ask me to define conventional... Because I know everyone's different to a certain extent, but yeh.

Bad health is an example. A friend of mine is attracted to men who have had psychological problems which are similar to hers... Maybe it's about common interest and experiences, rather than attractiveness, I'm not sure... But she actively seeks these people, as opposed to mentally healthy people.

o.o ? Do people understand what I mean?

yeah...I seem to like the ones that are f'ed up in the head too. Maybe it's cause I want to "fix them all" one at a time..or maybe I'm screwed up too, who knows?

I like them with a little meat on their bones! Short guys often try harder as well. Conventionally good looking guys seem to know it and I personally don't enjoy the****ness they sometimes exude. Give me a plain guy with a great heart any day....

Does "ruggedly handsome" qualify? I kinda like those rough-around-the-edges type who've had a broken nose at some point -- probably from a barroom brawl..... No pretty boys need apply. I can't date someone prettier than me......

Yes exactly catch_a_star! All of my brother's friends go to the gym, are well groomed, wear designer clothes, have nice cars, etc. in order to impress the opposite sex... But that stuff doesn't appeal to me at all.

000firefighter - LOL - too bad you live so far away from Columbus, OH - I'd be perfect for ya ~~ nice cleavage and 4 toe rings.

Anyways, when I was younger, I always swore I'd NEVER marry a man without a full head of hair - my dad always wore a toopee - but now I find myself attracted to bald men with moustaches and goatees (and if you look at my profile, you'll see my ex is now bald - lol).

So..........completely opposite from when I was younger:

Bald men
Tattoos (not full sleeves tho)
A little cushion around the middle (no skinny ones for me, thank you - I like a little something to hold on to)
No pretty boys - Don't want someone hogging the mirror more than me
Motorcycle riders (definitely)
Sensitive guys (if you cry at a romantic or sad movie, i melt)
Someone that isn't afraid to laugh at himself or me - I won't take offense

Friends always expect me to go for the model-esque guys, but that couldn't be further from the truth.

I like my guys with a bit of meat on their bones, glasses, kind of geeky looking... And shyness really attracts me too. The shy ones somehow tend to be more alluring than the rowdy, overly confident alpha males!

hmmmmmm
lets see I like a guy who has emotional maturity...
I know its not hip or cool... but I do like it and I know its hard
to find.
I did find someone like this and its to no wonder he manages
mostly MEN at his work...
which he often says are like a bunch of cry babies and I can sure relate

Lol, I tend to go for guys with excessive body hair...?

I like a guy to have a little meat, too.

Weirdest of all, I having this strong attraction to men
20+ years older than me...???!? (Despite the fact that
I hope to have children one day, I am consistantly
attracted to men in their forties...? I guess the sub-
conscious search for a man who would be a good
father tends to land me with men who have successfully
raised children????)

I COULD list things, but it probably wouldn't apply when I meet the guy who is 'right for me'. I look back at my past relationships, and can see very few similiarities.

I like hairy chests, and some women don't....but no way is this a requirement.

If a guy shows he has feelings and even sheds a tear at a sad story or movie, it grabs my heart...but if he doesn't, it sure wouldn't be a deal breaker.

I don't care if he is tall or short....thin or chubby....macho or on the femine side, (as long as he isn't gay or bi).....

I think a guy who would love me for who I am, warts and all, would be the sexiest guy in the world, in my book. I want him to be my best friend first, and of course, then everything else would just fall into place, but then I guess this is 'conventional', and therefore off topic, isn't it? *SIGH*

It's not on purpose but I guess I go for girls with psychological problems. I have slight anxiety,but what I'm talking about is worse. I don't really mean to be attracted to them, but I also think it makes me feel better about myself to help them and to know there are people more messed up than me LOL

I love a stubborn guy.........bit of an a**hole at times. It turns me waaaaaaay on. I'm a pretty tough cookie and can easily offend a guy who doesn't have naturally thick skin. I don't care if he's really smart, as long as he knows how to keep a job. I like men who wear glasses and who have bowed legs. Is that conventional?

I like the "thug" look...du rags, earings, tongue ring too
Most guy I have ever been attracted to has been tall and thin, just happened that way

I typically like small breasted women... I know that seems crazy' cause everyone else is the opposite. I also like a woman who "snorts" when she laughs.. Oh well, I am posting this as if I've had a whole lot of chances on here. I guess I need to find the right woman who likes tall goofy guys....... I dunno?

Has to be a wickedly warped sense of humor for me. I'm strange, if he's not strange ~ he would be laughing at me rather than with me. Oh ~ and I'm a klutz...injuries are bound to happen. He has to be an EMT just in case. He needs to be able to say "Oh, I'll bet that hurt ~ but it was sooooo funny!!!"

I like clean freaks even tho I am not one. I like guys who get obsessed with me, but not possessive. I like the guys with the jacked up hair do, probably because im hoping they might let me fix it. I love guys with pointy teeth or a gap between the two front teeth. Love hairy chest, not extremely hairy, but enough to rub my cheeks on. Really looks dont matter as long as they wear CLEAN white sneakers and DONT STINK.

I like men who read a lot and own a lot of books. And I always found laugh lines at the corners of the eyes to be really sexy. And hairy chests. I'll even take back hair if that's what it takes to get the hairy chest.

I like strong arms and hands. I don't mean huge body builder arms. They can be twigs, as long as they're strong.

I don't like the too perfect no flaws look. Hair should be a little messed up, not like you just had your hair done and permed, highlights or another additional color is attractive. Tattoos can be attractive, but that depends what they are. Not into piercings but bellybutton rings are good. Personality is probably the most important, a twisted sense of humor but nothing psycotic, or a little but of a wild streak.

From reading some of the other posts, I know why I'm not so attractive to women. I'm not a big hairy teddybear. I probably have the generic athletic look that is invisible to most women. I can blend into any crowd and become invisible.
