Going grey gracefully, I always find people of a certain age who still dye their hair look way older than those who don’t (Jonathan Ross, Paul McCartney)I love that Matt LeBlanc chose the natural look, he looks b**b!ETA: I realised I’ve only used men in this example but it absolutely extends to women!!Growing old is a privilege not everybody has, live well, laugh often and love always ❤️.
Making a good first impression is obviously something that many of you hope to do, whether you’redatingor not. However, how you look and how utterly amazing your job is might not be what you should exclusively focus on.The BBC reports that appearance and sexinessranknear the middle in surveys of people’s preferred characteristics. Meanwhile, things like financial prowess and having a super nice house rank among the least important attractive qualities. Instead, it’s certain personality traits that leave a much more powerful impact!“Traits like agreeableness, extraversion, and intelligence score consistently higher than physical attraction as things that men and women in same-sx and different-sx couples look for in a partner,” the BBC explains.

I. Adore. Crows feet. Why would anyone hate them or get rid of them???Anything that suggests you spend lots of time smiling and laughing or looking around at a world bathed in sunlight has always been so attractive to me.
Freckles and/or sunspots. Every long-term partner I’ve had had them all over. No idea why, but I just love them!
However, psychology professor Greg Webster from the University of Florida notes that people tend to give answers that they think make them look good in the eyes of others. This is social-desirability bias. And, as such, this might skew the results a bit. That being said, people still typically say they prefer intelligence over looks.Agreeableness is a strong predictor of current and future relationship satisfaction. When combined with physical attractiveness, agreeableness can also predict desire for a serious relationship. Webster notes that being nice is “indispensable for harmonious long-termrelationships” and that “agreeableness is kind of a necessity.”

I worry about my own aging skin… some wrinkles, chin not as tight, etc. But when I see other people with various stages of older skin I realize I don’t see it in a negative way, I think they look nice. It’s normal and natural to age that way, and I think it looks fine.
Very dark brown eyes. Almost black. Not saying this is considered unattractive, but they’re common. Everyone is always oohing and ahhing over people with light blue or green eyes and I think having dark eyes is more attractive and comforting/reassuring for some reason.
Crooked noses, when you see people getting surgery for that turned up button nose it’s so boring and strips the person of personality in their face.
Furthermore, when you combine agreeableness with social, physical, and financial dominance, you get attraction.“We can think about dominance as being turned inward towards a relationship or dominance being focused outward away from the relationship. What people want are partners who are socially, physically or financially dominant, but not necessarily towards their partner,” Webster noted.“It’s one thing if you’re able to dominateotherpeople, but are you willing to share those resources with your romantic partner?”

Thick eyebrows. I don’t know why but I think girls with natural eyebrows are very pretty lol.
Thin lips in women. I’ve noticed that every single western female celebrity did a lip surgery or does lip fillers, even if their lips are not that thin at all. You barely can find thin lips in western actress, singers, bloggers, politicians. Even every middle class women does lip fillers. And average lips started being considered thin nowadays and estheticians recommend fillers for them.
We were curious to hear about the inspiration behind the online thread. “I think I just made that post because I was thinking about how cool stretch marks are and how much I like them; that was about it,“artist AxelPoggtold Bored Panda.
A guy having a tummy ❤️ You guys don’t have to be rock solid bodybuilders for people to be attracted to you.
I love short men ❤️ always have, always willThere’s something irresistible about a short guy with confidence.
Women with strong backs and or broad shoulders.
Bored Panda also wanted to get the author’s thoughts on non-physical personality traits that he personally thinks might be universally attractive.
“I think a universally attractive trait is just being kind and considerate,” he shared his perspective.
Scars. They always have a story behind them. For example, I have bite marks on my face from when my dog bit my head when I was little and my left eye is closed because of a brain surgery to remove a tumor. A cut across the body or a missing limb is pretty attractive to me.
Crooked teeth are very endearing on girls & guys.
I love it when women’s ears stick out, like if they have straight hair and their ears poke through it. I think it’s hella cute.
For me, it’s pores or like skin that looks human. Idk if you get it, but these days when I see that glass skin trend in movies or social media, I’m like “where is the texture?”. So I’m a straight female, I prefer seeing a male with real skin and pores, just make them more manly haha.
Frizzy hair, not controlled curls, but just an absolute mess of weird. Love it. Give up the frizz ease!
Bald could be a good hairstyle for many women. For some reason it’s almost universally hated.
A girl having a bit of tummy. A small pouch.
I heard some things about about women being insecure about their hip dips. At the time I had no idea what they were so I looked it up.Turns out I’m very attracted to hip dips.
I loveee wide-set eyes. ill see certain actresses refered to as fish or rango characters because their eyes are so far apart but genuinely i think that is such an ethereally beautiful feature to have.
Small butts for me. I never understand the ridicule they get.
The guy I like have natural “vampire teeth” and I think it’s so freaking cute!!I also like freckles (the more the merrier), big nose, gummy smile, scars.
I’ve heard that this wasn’t normal so i’ll add it hereTanlines.Something about them makes me go f*cking bananas.
Vitiligo, freckles, scars. ppl say it’s ugly but hell, I love it. Anything that’s odd tbh. It makes them unique and somehow so beautiful.
I would say bunny teeth, they look so cute to me.
I love this thread! Love a big nose and gap teeth.
My boyfriend has a mole on his face and I adore it. He said he was teased as a kid about it and im like hah jokes on them, you’re literally the most handsome man on this planet soooooo lolHonestly, I love body hair lol like maybe not a full blown body suit of hair, but a thick hairy chest and neck and stomach are the absolute best.
Small chin / weak chin. Small boobs. Not sure if necessarily a preference but I don’t mind them.

A bit of acne and a bit of rosacea is kinda cute bc it brings some colour to the face depending on skin tone. I think a 100% even skin tone is not as cute as the natural slight redness some ppl have. And people call it “blotchiness” and try to get rid of it but i think it looks nice.
Armpit hair on women 😵.
A Roman nose 👃 ufff.
Cellulite.
A little bit of an overbite is super cute in a male or female.
Does a lisp count? Just a slight lisp that manifests now and then.
Idk what it is but snaggletooth smiles are very endearing to me.
Braces, probably a bit more common. My first girlfriend and I had braces at the same time so I think I kinda associated them with that honeymoon phase of my life.
When young men have forehead wrinkles… so handsome. Older men too, but there’s something about the anachronism of being young with deep forehead lines that does it for me. Also women who gray young, and/or who have chunks of gray in their hair in their 20s. Beautiful.
Women’s arms. I dunno why but I’ve always loved them. Don’t like skinny ones.
Balding, very hairy men. And I mean hairy. The fluffier the better. My guy is pretty hairy, but I secretly hope he’s going to grow more as time goes on.
I love a soft man. Sure the 6 pack may be nice to look at but I want to snuggle with a softie. Belly, chest, soft arms all of it!And long, bushy armpit hair.
Like completely hairless. I promise this isn’t a kink, but I’ve met people with alopecia or people who have very vigorous ongoing chemo treatments and I just find like, most if not all of them look sort of ethereal and beautiful to me.
When girls are a little bit cross-eyed. Idk what it is, but it’s f*****g adorable.
If they have a mole inside their eyes. Not that “attractive” but I think it is so cool.
I personally love women’s bodies postpartum. All the tight pre-pregnancy bodies are fine but the real ideal body type is post pregnancy. Ladies, I swear to you all that is when you entry a whole new arena of being sexy confident and jaw dropping. Cheers to you all!
The creases in the back of a big lad’s big head 🥵.
Dark circles. I hate them on myself but i LOVE them on other women and men it looks so hot.
Pox marks on the jaw line! A la David boreanaz as Angel in Buffy.
Not really a default feature but when a girl has fake tan on and it looks really unblended and patchy I find that more attractive. Weird I know haha.
