What unconventional physical traits do you find attractive in someone?
I think people with braces are quite cute for some reason. Maybe because I had them for 3 and a half years. :P Right now I'm thinking of a girl I know back home...she is gorgeous. And has a full set of braces.

I also think scars can be quite beautiful. There's always a story behind them.

2. Such an Awesome Topic!
Aw, that's so nice! I was so ashamed, and felt so ugly, when I had braces at 21.

I also find scars attractive and for the same reason you've stated. I find that if a guy has a trait, and I'm currently mad about him, I prefer that trait on every guy, whether or not it's a trait that's conventionally attractive.

6. Men with a split in their front teeth
I know, it's weird. I can't explain it. I believe it has something to do with Omar Sharif.

And, yes my husband had a smile like his until he got braces. I'll never forgive that Orthodontist! ;-) Secretly, I keep hoping it will come back. shhh..

8. For some reason
I've always had a weakness for cute, somewhat freckled redheads. Well, any redheads actually. Leggy and busty is even better; in any hair coloration, actually. But you asked for unusual. So I'll go with cute, red, and somewhat freckled.

16. I know two fine ladies with the same disability
they are both under four feet tall, use wheelchairs, and have blue sclera (the "whites" of the eyes). Magnifique! Must be seen to be believed.

And yes, LandS, one of them is the one who visited T.O. earlier in the year.

I guess I like a more natural looking smile.

20. Chicks in wheelchairs.
My disabled lady friend still gives me a bad time about how infatuated I was with her before she told me she already had a BF. :rofl:

Oh, and I also like women that actually have curves and not protruding hip-bones and ribs, and I find light-untanned skin attractive.

24. +1
My head has been on a swivel for wheelie ladies ("chicks"?!) since about the fifth grade. (Remember, I rode the short bus, too.)

I just met a couple at work Friday afternoon, in fact. One is a two-time Paralympian! It is her teammate, however, who one hopes will be the subject of future posts... :loveya:

21. Braces are cool on adults, too
maybe because I never got to date anyone who had them (or who didn't, for that matter) in high school.

Oh my, when a friend of Mom's who had been my big-time impossible teenage crush got them... :loveya:

Edited on Mon Sep-28-09 01:19 PM by MissMillie
but I find bald men attractive, especially if they're VERY smart.

(Actually, the "smart" thing is a deal-breaker, just not the bald thing)

34. big noses
I've always been attracted to men with big noses. Not extremely big ones but it might be the Native American in me, I like a big schnoz. Ironically, my husband has quite of a button nose.

35. Men with large, aquiline noses
Not bulbous noses, but just a large Gallic type nose. I've always found men more attractive with prominent noses than with small or button noses.

Also, men with red hair. I'm CRAZY about men with red hair.

40. I love large noses (not bulbous), a gap between the two top middle teeth
and a pigeon-toed walk. I also find braces extremely attractive though I never wore them.

44. I like a gal with a prominent schnoz
I don't get why, but a beautiful woman with a big nose just turns my crank.





Maria de Medeiros





Dita Von Teese - her lips and boobs get all the attention, but she's got quite the little honker





Uma somebody





Indira Varma




I could go on.
















In fact, I will...





Eva Mendes




and I don't know who this woman is, but she's amazing

51. I have always liked body hair on women
I particularly like a woman who is otherwise attractive, and who has some serious body hair (i.e. more than just a little), and who lets her body hair grow out, and who likes and is not ashamed of her natural state and her natural hair. I find such a woman to be very sexy. I particularly like hairy or unshaven legs on a woman, but I also like body hair elsewhere on a woman.

I have had a liking for body hair on women since I was an adolescent.

I think it is crazy, and really a crime, that women in our society practically *have to* go through all kinds of pain and trouble to remove any and all body hair, and look like plastic Barbie dolls. I wish that somehow women in non-trivial numbers would come to feel OK about letting their body hair grow out.

I know that there are other men who like natural body hair on women. I have for a number of years been posting on an adult message board devoted to female body hair, and appreciation thereof.
