Or: Things About Guys (and Things They Do) That Make Me Flustered, with various celebrity examples because I'm twelve.
fashion/style
- rolling back the sleeves of their shirts
- ...which expose their forearms.
- wearing vests
- wearing glasses and looking good in them
- wearing Wayfarers
- there is something about those sunglasses that I dig.
- snug-fitting (but not tight) shirts
- THREE PIECE SUITS.
- old school glasses
- wearing a cardigan without looking like Mr. Rogers
- wearing their jeans properly...
- possibly with just a little bit of room for the top of their underwear to peek out.
- also on the denim front: jeans that are a little slouchy, but not baggy, and fit well in the back.
- cool forearm tattoos
- I am a big fan of Liam Payne's chevron tats.
- And Chris Evans's below his clavicles
physical
- thick eyebrows
- having low, rumbly voices
- good shoulder to waist ratio (I don't know how to explain it, but like--swimmer's type bodies, I guess? I KNOW WHEN I SEE)
- great smiles
- ...which does not necessarily equal perfect teeth, even though those are nice. It has to be a smile with character; a smile that has personality!
- like Chris Hemsworth has that big, goofy grin sometimes. That is a Smile with Character.
- or Daveed Diggs
- lean but muscular bodies
- ...just not veiny muscular.
- mouth mouth mouth
- (ex: Eddie Redmayne, who just has this ridiculous mouth. And Chris Pine. And model Godfrey Gao, ZOMG)
- freckles
- green eyes
- speaking voices that have a smartass tone to them.
- for example: Chris Pine in Star Trek
- let's talk about voices more and go with: suaveness/general cool to them.
- like Armie Hammer or Lee Pace.
- great cheekbones
- broad shoulders
- it's like an angle thing. Slopey shoulders just are not as physically appealing as, say, this is.
- booty booty booty
- see: Chris Evans's introductory shot in The Avengers
- or: Charlie Cox in 98% of the first season of Daredevil
miscellaneous
- reading
- kindness
- having feminist ideals
- being good with kids
- liking animals
- being dorky enough to be endearing
- not Manic Pixie Dream Boy dorky, though. Not Dorkiness with Whimsy, just dorky but also cool.
- not a dudebro or a Nice Guy
- Good Guys. Good Men. That kind of thing.
- politically progressive
- good conversationalist
- sports aren't his only hobby
- I'm a movie/music/books/TV person with general interest in a battery of other things; I only care about sports a lot when it's March Madness or the Olympics. So a guy who is like, super-into a team wouldn't be compatible with me because my sports loyalties lie more with North Carolina teams when they're doing well or with swimmers/gymnasts!
- must love dogs
- charisma
- can you sing? MMM.
- the closer he gets to classically handsome while still maintaining some measure of geekiness... I want him more.
