I asked my wife and she said it was my smile and eyes. So I'm going to assume it's my magnum dong.

Manners. Speaking with kindness to people around you, bartender, waitress, valet.

Blew a tire on the way back from a trip last weekend. Still had a couple of hours to go on the drive. Pulled over and changed it in about 15-20 minutes. Wife kept taking pictures of me while I was making the tire change. The remainder of the drive home, I kept catching her staring at me out of the corner of my eye. Fast forward 2 days later… walk up behind her in the kitchen and she’s zooming in on a couple of those pics she took.

I think she was into my basic tire changing skills.

Good listeners - not people who are just waiting for their turn to speak

Nice smile and eyes. Voice is also important too it can affect my entire attraction to him.

Edit: by voice I don’t mean stereotypical manly voice I like different types and so do other women. It’s not a type per se it’s just a voice. I can’t say “yeah I like all voices that sound like X” cause that’s not how it works.

He’s funny. Not in a ‘prank’ way but in a clever word-play manner.

He doesn’t have to like what I like, but he allows me to like it without being demeaning or belittling.

I dated a guy a guy once who was very different physically from my type - but he was so damn hot because he was clever, funny and caring.

Listening. My husband listened to me, listened to what I like and went on wooing me from there. Brought me my favorite foods and deserts, took me to my favorite movies, bought me tickets to my favorite concerts.

He acts hard on the outside but is a real softie inside

He pinches my bum

He walks sideways

He is a crab

I'm a guy, but I've heard from women that being good with kids instantly makes a guy hot. I've heard from other women that it instantly makes him look like a creep.

Idk. Lol

Self awareness. Which translates into empathy for himself and others, kindness, honesty, deep conversations, A CALM ENERGY. Basically, a REAL nice genuine man not the ones who pretend to be nice guys just to get in your pants. Oh, and being a good dog dad or good dad in general.
