Yahoo Lifestyle "I’m Sitting There With My Jaw On The Floor": Guys Are Sharing The Minor Things Women Say, Do, Or Wear That Drives Them Wild, And I Didn't Expect Any Of These
There are certain non-obvious things about the opposite sex that we might personally love without them even realizing it. This Reddit thread is filled with men sharing small, minor things they love about women, and my heart was warmed reading so many of these. Here is some of what they shared.
Note: Some responses have been edited for length and/or clarity.
1."Being extremely passionate about their hobbies."
2."I love a girl that needs glasses."
3."A legitimately hilarious sense of humor. Being really passionate about hobbies. Being able to hold thoughtful conversations and keep the talking going. The ability to flirt without being awkward, playing hard to get, or coming across as someone who collects men. Confidence, hoodies, pajamas, and baggy t-shirts remind me of lazy mornings."
4."When they do that little half-smile while lost in thought or when they unconsciously tuck a strand of hair behind their ear — pure magic."
5."I don't know what it is, but I love a woman’s neckline, clavicles, and shoulders. I think that’s where a woman’s femininity really shines. Audrey Hepburn is a great example. My ex wore this shoulderless sweater, which would drive me crazy."
6."Women genuinely having fun and making derpy faces that makes for ugly photos. Women, that is the face we fall in love with, not your highly edited Instagram photos that took at least 50 tries to get right."
7."Mental maturity."
"And not just mental maturity, but emotional maturity as well. Just because you have a chronological age, it means you'd behave the same."
8."Messy buns and up-dos. Women just toss that hair up in about three-tenths of a second to get it out of their way. Meanwhile, I’m sitting there with my jaw on the floor."
9."Baseball cap with the ponytail pulled out the back. Men’s dress shirt and pajama bottoms in the morning. A tiny wisp of hair comes out near the ear, which seems a little bit messy but just fits perfectly on your face. And lastly, the small gap between the end of your skirt and the top of your boots. That small amount of skin that doesn’t really have a traditional sexy value just looks so damn good on you."
10."A combination of self-confidence and genuine kindness is very attractive to me. It’s also more rare than you think."
11."Not having cosmetic surgery. Seriously, girl, your lips are perfectly kissable without any lip filler."
12."A sense of humor and willingness to be silly."
13."Personally, I like a focused woman. I don't mean the serious woman, but when she is trying to get a job done, like solving math or opening a tin with a tight lid, she is focused on 'How do I get this done?' that's what I mean."
14."Honestly, just casual women, not all dolled up. I think sweatpants and an old T-shirt with hair tied up in a messy ponytail look more attractive than a fancy dress, makeup, and perfect everything. She still looks beautiful dressed up, but I think the messy look shows they’re confident in themselves and don’t care what others think at that time. It feels more vulnerable and like they trust you enough to see them with their imperfections. Oh, and sometimes quirky teeth, it’s fun seeing a smile with imperfect teeth."
15."Confidence in yourself to not require validation. Validation is just icing on top of your confidence."
