Different women find different personality traits sexy about the opposite sex\u00a0\u2014\u00a0and it’s not as always as straightforward as “ambition” or “funny.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Witty with a tinge of arrogance. I’m sorry, I know it shouldn’t be, but it’s always what attracts me!”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n “Anyone with a laundry list of responses to the question: “What’s your damage?” Plus, an air of general bemusement at all my so-called flaws.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n “I like playing with kids so if I see him plop down on the floor with them and draw stick figures or play house for hours, I’m sold.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n “One time, my niece was going to spend the night with me and my boyfriend. He told me he was really excited to read her bedtime stories. At that moment I was done.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n “I absolutely love a man who sings along to songs.\u00a0I don’t know why, I don’t care how great he sounds or how he is off-tune he is, but seeing a guy cook breakfast in his boxers first thing in the morning while singing …. come back to bed, baby.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n “I like (mild) awkwardness. Not so much it’s a problem, though. But when I think about guys I’ve really, really liked, they’re all kind of awkward.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n “I love anyone who’s a hard sell and not easily impressed. Also, bullshit callers. Basically please frustrate me and let me get away with nothing.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n “Love love LOVE when someone is almost weirdly obsessed with one very specific thing. I once dated someone who was very into octopuses and for some reason, it’s really attractive.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n “I like a guy that makes adult monetary decisions and is responsible and\/or thrifty with money, someone that can get as excited as me about finding a good sale\/discount.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n “My husband is always reading.\u00a0It’s even annoying sometimes. But I love that he loves to learn new things and challenge his ways of thinking.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n “My husband’s main attraction for me (besides his sexier-than-hell self) is that he genuinely loves himself and values his contribution to the world, in a totally non-narcissistic way. He honestly doesn’t care what anyone else thinks about who he is as a human, and it’s made for a remarkable, integrity-filled life.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n “Sarcasm and the ability to take a joke even if it is against them and be able to joke right back.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n “For those times when I can’t be face-to-face with someone,\u00a0they must be able to communicate like an adult, using other means.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n “It probably goes back to my southern roots, but I love a guy who has never met a stranger. The ability to kindly chat up people in an elevator or in line at check-out is so endearing to me.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n “Empathy for the people he comes across day-to-day (whether that be a waiter, cashier, etc). I’ve noticed guys who’ve had sort of shit jobs in the past \u2014 whether it was in high school or college \u2014 tend to tip better and are more understanding when we don’t get seated the MINUTE the hostess told us we would.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n “My man refuses to gossip. It’s the most frustrating thing on earth when I NEED to talk about people but it’s so attractive and so comforting to know that he’s not bashing me behind my back.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n “Etiquette. Proper etiquette, like, how to hold a wine glass or knowing where to put what on a table and standing up when a woman both arrives and leaves a table.\u00a0Old school etiquette. Love it.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n “Being able to work a crowd\/room without me being by his side the entire time. I hate feeling like I constantly need to entertain a guy\/babysit. A guy should hold his own.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n “Oh man, integrity and grit to go along with it. Like, fiercely and fearlessly committed to his values. I get such a brain boner from that.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n “There’s something about a man who is able to hold his own and feel comfortable with my sometimes-overwhelming family. While I was in France for 3 weeks, my boyfriend called my dad to hang out and ended spending a whole night with him and his friends playing poker without me asking and it made me see him as serious relationship material.” <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Andrea Zimmerman is the editor-at-large at Yourtango.
