This was from today's Fitness Magazine's mailer and thought it interesting...



Men reveal 3 things that turn them on -- and 3 things that don't.From the editors of FITNESS magazine If testosterone could talk, every woman in the universe would listen. Or rather, we'd attempt to listen and then interject questions. Such as: What do men think is sexy? We've got our own girl-scouted ideas, but how accurate are they? Two male specimens help us revise our working "sexy" list.

GO FOR IT! GlassesThey create the illusion of increased salary potential. Justin Racz, author of 50 Dates Worse Than Yours, says, "One day, she may earn enough to support me!"

GO FOR IT! Lip Gloss"The glossier the better," says Greg Behrendt, coauthor of It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken. "It's a quick way to look sexy without putting on a lot of makeup."

GO FOR IT! Lingerie"It's like the tissue paper before you get to the gift," says Behrendt.

WATCH IT! Cleavage "Hint that it's there, but don't show me everything," Behrendt warns.

WATCH IT! High Heels Behrendt says, "My wife has a pair of Pradas that make her calves look so sexy." But beware of how high you go, says Racz. "If she's taller than me, it's a little intimidating."

SKIP IT! Fancy Bedding" She could have one-count sheets for all I care," says Racz. "I still sleep on the same ones I had in high school."

So what's sexy to you in the opposite sex - or same sex if that's your preference... (I think it's fascinating that glasses are on the list - as a lifelong wearer of them - it's good to have something :)

My list:
confidence
intelligence
sense of humor
... anything else just doesnt matter.

:daydreams:
though a good looking butt in a pair of levi 501s is really nice eye candy.... and shoulders... good strong shoulders...

Mal, my list is about the same. Especially confidence. I can't tell you how much a guy with low self esteem turns me off. But too much confidence is annoying too.

I also like a guy with strong hands, and for some reason the hair on a guys arm really gets my blood rushing.

He also has to get my sense of humor as it's very dry and subtle and can be easily misunderstood.
 
maleficient: we have the same list...except I have to add "a sense of adventure" to mine - and if a hairy back (yech) is involved, the other four qualities don't count
 
awww the poor boys with back hair - it's not like it can really be helped - like the hair on their head... :) they just haven't found a good waxer yet....
 
a little cockiness and arrogance can be a little hot actually - provided they actually have the goods to back it up --otherwise they just become chum and I turn into a shark :D

I have a very strong, bossy personality -some might say dominant (without the whips and chains though- I'll never reveal what's in my goodie drawer) I like someone who I cannot manipulate... Arrogance is sometimes a good thing.. :)

Oh I must agree with you!!
Strong hands & great hair. Oh my god - *swoon* ..lol. :D

I tool have an odd & easily misunderstood sense of humor, if he can laugh with me and make me laugh then I'm his forever.
 
Good sense of humor, MATURITY, and intelligence are at the top of my list.

Physically I like shoulders, back, chest and stomach.

I think men who can cook and clean are also incredibly sexy.
 
The 1st thing I notice in a guy that is sexy is his eyes I am a eye person lol!
The unsexyness is overexcess body hair I love the happy trail but not a jungle.Like Casey said a man that can cook and maybe even light some candles and prepare ya a bubble bath(note:without being told)is extremley sexy.
The only time I feel sexy is when I can fit into something smaller lol.
 
Ok, first of all, Nia, that strawberry and jello square look so yummy! LOL :)

Back to the topic, hhmmm, I love a great smile, straight white teeth, etc, nice eyes and I am a huge sucker for arms, abs, back, and chest (toned and strong is good, think basketball or football player, x-nay on the steriods boys!). Cooking dinner, cleaning the house are nice, but someone who listens and shares common interests (or even better, they don't share the interest but they care and share in it anyway to be with you because you like it) is great!

As for back hair, sure, no problem -- heck if that is the least of your worries, you've got it made, can always wax! :D
 
Im madley in love with my hubby, hes a total wimp most of the time - but a loving wimp.
But when it comes down to crunch, if theres something he believes in firmly he will most definatly stick up for what he wants.
Hes not hugely hot, hes not ultra confidant, and hes definatly not what i would have said i would even considered (in fact he kept hitting on me and i wasnt interested!). Weird how you think you want one thing but end up blissfully happy with another :0

On another note: Gay guys - man they are so clean cut and hot. Straight guys are so scared they will get called gay if they look afterthemselves. What the heck is with the half shaven look, ripped clothes, smelly sox etc *eww*

If straight men cleaned up more often like gay guys i reckon they would get lucky a whole lot more :D
 
I was at a guys desk the other day - sitting very close to him - though not intentionally - we were hovered over the same laptop - and i commented to him that he looked really good that day and smelled even better (not overwhelming smell but smelled great when you got close) He got a really constipated look on his face and says "i'm not gay" - ok given the environment we're in (creative) i can understand how some could be confused -but I know you aren't -- so relax :D

i don't think he'll ever smell good again :(

We men are so bloody predictable that none of us dare post here for fear of ridicule ;)

Ok, I don't care. My personal choice? Women.
  • Face - pretty, not always in any conventional way
  • Eyes - sparkle, the lights are on at home
  • lips - sexy, glossy, smiling
  • legs - slim, long
  • breasts - full, firm, not overly big
  • waist - slim, feminine
  • skin - soft, feminine
  • bums (butts I believe is the American) - rounded, curvy but not overly big
  • personality - intelligent, independent, a little wild and unpredictable
  • scent - perfumed
  • back - curved, feminine
  • kneck - delicate.
  • Finally, last but not least - no hairy backs or chest please.
A little secret. Most men over the age of 14 don't lust after super models with huge assets - we often prefer the 'girl next door' look.

Beyond these, lips, hands and eyes! I like eyes that look lively, with a little sparkle, not dead or lifeless. Hands, I'm not sure why, but specific men's hands and lips have always captivated me, and my hubby has the perfect combination of all 3 plus the above.

He's also an ex-marine (most believe once a marine, always a marine) he is and always will be an ex-marine since his time of departure. It helped him in so many ways, but is not something he wanted to continue in life! He did it, he got out, he moved on. .. hmmm.. hubba hubba.
 
ooooh marines - yum....

my not so secret fetish - besides a really well fitting suit (that has seen a tailor and not just off the rack at men's wearhouse...)

is a uniform... Military uniforms especially (marines, army, navy dress blues - not the sailor suits, they look like jail bait)-- firemen -- ooooh firemen... :D gimme a man in uniform - and i'm a happy gal - (i think it's my bossy side -shows they can take orders or something :D
 
oh wow Tooth, what a list :O

Got your sights set high eh ! I like most women with half a brain, i think even if a person is dead ugly you can see past it when you get to know them well enough.
What i dont like is chicks dressing up as sluts. Super huge boobs or boobs larger than a D cup unless shes tall and it suits/fits. Oh and i LOVE tummies - tight flat tummies :D
Okay thats girls done,
Guys!
I like tall skinny bookish looking guys, but without the dweeb mentality. Whats the point being pretty if you cant talk to them or argue/debate something! Sense of humour is a must, if you cant take jokes then get lost :)
i hate posessiveness or guys that get all angst over a chick talking to somebody thats not them (Im in IT, most of my friends are guys and yeah we crack some horrificly racist/sexist/whatever jokes)

I have a friend whos husband gets in these massive violent rages if she goes off and does anything without him. Even if me and her drive up the road to pick up some milk for 5 mins or something. Then they end up sitting next to each other having arguments via txt message *rolls eyes*
