What is *actually* attractive to you, compared to what internet trolls think you find appealing?

[PreRaphaelite]

Recently there's been a troll on the site offering pictures depicting a near-complete pavéd human as "just sexy" with the expectation of agreement from all. While the threads were literally laughable, once I finished my popcorn the amusement faded and I began to think what fun it would be to find out what PSers find attractive.

I'll start.
First, ever single gosh-darned person in the following threat would win my heart in one single beat:

Second, this woman:

He was sitting in the middle of a busy road, refusing to leave his friend's side.

Third, this guy:

Finally, there's Helen Mirren. Andrew Cuomo. Josie Lawrence. Kenneth Branagh. And my third boyfriend, who is just a private citizen.

Anyone care to share their list?

I agree inner beauty wins every single time. It becomes who I see once I get to know the person. That’s the truth. For me.

On my list is my DH first. Beautiful inside and out with a great intellect and sense of humor and he’s a kind compassionate individual. The best person I know in addition to my dad. Who’s all the above too. IMO


I agree with you. Any front line person risking their safety to help others are truly beautiful individuals.

I like natural beauty and so I agree with your entire list. Helen Mirren is elegance personified. An easy mature beauty.

I find many beautiful and I have a wide definition of beauty.

Kindness, especially to waiters, parking lot attendants, and people generally ignored and overlooked. A wicked sense of humor.
My husband

Great sense of humor is first for me, kind, doesn’t take oneself too seriously. And natural. I’m a female married to a male who thankfully finds the natural look the best of all! I resent that women have to be stick thin and made up with dyed hair to be considered beautiful. Double standard and all that. I’m attracted to women and men (in a platonic way as I’m happily married) who are comfortable in their own skin. And I’m cool with people who find other things attractive! Variety and all that.

 

[alittlelight]

Oh, wait, you wanted a less noble answer?

[AprilBaby]

Ok I’m weird...

 

[AprilBaby]

But really; empathy and a compassionate heart.

 

[ItsMainelyYou]

Well, I'm super attracted to that tub right now. As handsome as he is, I would say, "Get out darling, leave the wine."

 

[ItsMainelyYou]

Ok I’m weird...

Not weird.
Shh, I secretly love Snape!

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

The hot, wet and sweaty look is the best, those are not real tattoos- just a little movie he did for the fans a while back ....with an acopoliptic type theme

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Oh and of course kindness and a sence of humour
New Jersey accent earns a bonus point

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Oh and Bruce is 70
Still as hot as he was back in 78

 

[PreRaphaelite]

Ken has aged well.

 

[yssie]

Not weird.
Shh, I secretly love Snape!

Oh. High school crush coming back in full force
That voice. Just. The one person in the world whose day I'd have really wanted to hear about.

 

[ItsMainelyYou]

Oh. High school crush coming back in full force
That voice. Just. The one person in the world whose day I'd have really wanted to hear about.

Right?! And I want him cross with me, very cross! At least at first

 

[yssie]

Right?! And I want him cross with me, very cross! At least at first

Oh, keep this up and I'll need my smelling salts

 

[ItsMainelyYou]

Oh, keep this up and I'll need my smelling salts

Hahahaaaaa, I snorted that laugh.

 

[missy]

When I was young I had the biggest crush on both Billy Joel and Al Pacino. Swoon.

 

[canuk-gal]

Not weird.
Shh, I secretly love Snape!

We all secretly loved him. Best character in Die Hard but he really had me in Sense and Sensibility.

I've always loved Marky Mark!

 

[redwood66]

Some might think he's ugly but Willem DaFoe, since I was young.

No contest. My husband. New York City firefighter, excellent cook, lover of animals. Such a brave, kind, and generous soul. This is him, taking a nap with our friend's bunny. What about this doesn't just melt your heart?

 

[PreRaphaelite]

Now *that* is a human worthy of love and admiration.

 

[Lilith112]

According to my friends, I strongly prefer guys that would be considered "pretty" and don't mind guys rocking eyeliner/makeup

Exhibit A:

 

[PintoBean]

Badonkadonk and turkey thighs

 

[Austina]

Sense of humour has always been the most attractive thing to me, physical appearance, well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
