We’re not going to lie. A man boasting abs chiseled to perfection and biceps that pop just enough when flexed (without shredding shirts He-Man style) will no-doubt turn our heads. And even if caught mid check-him-out glance, we’re not about to look away. Fit, toned bodies are the result of hard work and dedication to a healthy lifestyle. We certainly pay homage to that. But for a man to achieve a skyrocketing score on the sexiness scale there’s got to be more to him than physical assets. Throw in these seven traits and he’s guaranteed irresistible.
1. He Has Mastered The Wink. We don’t know how they learn the technique but some guys really have the Richard-Gere wink down pat. There’s an art to this wink and getting it right can be tricky. It’s more suave and smoky than cheeky and laughable. He’s comfortable giving this signal and has the timing to the tee. Done right, this move is pure sexy. Caveat: The wink can be tricky to pull off. Practice first. Read more ...

My own list is very different particularly because my husband cannot close one eye at a time making his winks creepy.

I’m pretty sure the last guy I dated had all these things…no wonder he got me in bed so easily!

Now I just need to know where these men congregate! They should all come with an imbedded GPS.

@tattooed_redhead: If that were the case, there’d go all the fun of finding us, er, them.
Hmmm.
I can wink acceptably well.
I’m usually calm.
I could do better with the taking-care-of-myself part, but I’ve improved and used to be really good at it.
I have a style, but it needs to change.
I have a manly scent, as opposed to stench, but, as mentioned, that’s a genetic disposition thing… you like what you like.
I’m very affectionate.
I do laugh often, but I don’t laugh loud (usually), and the one time I laughed while hard, she kicked me out of bed, so I don’t do that any more. I tend to chuckle hard now, or smirk hard.

1) I don’t really care a/b winking. Personally, I can’t do it, and I look like a mental patient when I try.
2) while this is a *huge* bonus *most* of the time (especially for someone w/ some “minor” anxiety issues such as myself), it can be kind of cute to see your man spazz out every once in a while. it reminds me that you’re human.
3) this is true, but somewhat a minor issue for me. while it’s nice to see that you’re not a disgusting slob and care enough a/b yourself to ensure that you’re not going to die of heart disease before you reach 30, I’m not a big health-nut myself, and personally like a “teddy-bear” kinda guy
4) this isn’t a big deal for me either. while it’s nice, it’s not a requirement. b/c honestly, if you don’t have style, chances are I’ll end up shopping with you and helping you find some. and if you do, so long as it’s not so amazing that it makes me feel incompetent (which I pretty much am when it comes to myself), then that’s fine too.
5) this is a must! omg, my bf smell’s so good that it’s almost intoxicating!!! whenever he’s deployed, I make him leave his cologne here, and send me home a shirt or two whenever possible, so that I can sleep with it and pretend he’s lying down next to me…
6) also a must!! I grew up in a super-affectionate home, and if you don’t *show* me you love me, then I’m not going to believe you. sorry, but that’s just the way it is.
7) it doesn’t have to be hard and loud, but it *does* have to be often (WOW, that sounds *really* dirty, lol). I’m generally not very serious (unless discussing something important/meaningful, see below) and I tend to laugh off bad situations. and we all know laughter is contagious, so even if I’m not laughing, if you can make me laugh off a bad mood just by you laughing, then it really does make you irresistible
8) respectful: nobody likes a douche.
9) and lastly, as black iris mentioned, BRAINS!!!: I’m a fairly intelligent person, and if you can’t keep up with me in a meaningful conversation, then honestly, don’t even bother. I don’t have time or energy to waste on a moron. and *believe* me, my face will let you know if you are one. (which, coincidentally, is why I tend to be a *terrible* cashier or server…so, so, SO many stupid people).

I completely agree with those who have said “brains”!
Personally, a lot of the physical stuff I could give or take; in retrospect, I’ve been attracted to some pretty homely dudes. But what they’ve all had in common was intelligence, a decent sense of humor, and a willingness to show affection.
I’m really not interested in men who aren’t close to being my intellectual equal. It’s not a judgment thing, and I’ve had plenty of friends who are definitely less-than-brilliant, but I’m just not attracted to them sexually or romantically.
