"She's got nice skin."

Ah, our dear Harry Potter. He is going to be our role model today in strangely attractive attributes. I personally think it's fascinating to find out what people think is attractive about the opposite sex. The more unusual, the better. (Unless it's bordering on the creepy. Creepery is not condoned.) So I decided to ask around to see what some things (many kinda weird or obscure) are that girls find attractive about guys (and a couple of extra things at the end).

Pointy canines. That's right, gentlemen! An unnamed source likes it when your canines are vampire-esque. But before you go out to get your teeth sharpened, I should warn you that your teeth kind of need to be nice anyway. Personal hygiene is key. Straight, white teeth are beautiful.

White patch in hair. You know how some guys have a dark helmet of hair on their heads, but then there's that one spot on their scalps that for some reason lacks the same amount of eumelanin as the rest of their hair? One source thinks that's A-OK.


Arm veins. Is it too presumptuous to assume all or most guys have veins in their arms? Well, according to one young lady, veins that pop out from working out rarely go unnoticed and unadmired. But be warned--some girls find veiny arms super gross. So don't go pumping iron too much.

Muscular (and tan) backs and calves. I think a lot of girls would agree that toned calves are a plus. Muscular backs, however, is one that most girls probably don't think of because, let's face it, who notices that? Even so. Flabby backs, beware.

Nice-smelling-ness. Smell good. Don't go overboard on the cologne. A little bit is enough. (On a related-but-not note, my mom told my twelve-year-old brother that he needed to shower and use deodorant because, ya know, and he said, "What? It's my natural musk.")


Kilts. Probably my favorite of all the responses I got. Kilts magnify the manliness of the manliest-mannered man. A man who can rock it like a Scot is a man worth knowing.


Scars. They boast of daring battles against those who would dare challenge justice. Girls like guys who can stick up for justice. Oh, and also, I guess sometimes they're kinda tough looking in general. Even if you got them from running for the ice-cream truck and tripping over a plush animal.

Other fashiony things. Suspenders were mentioned. Clark Kent-like glasses. Three-piece suits. Rolled-up dress shirt sleeves (surely to reveal your veiny forearms). Aviators.


Marriage Material. A few more serious ones. Girls aren't always "on the prowl," but we certainly notice things that we want in our future spouses. These don't guarantee you an easy-as-pie search for a suitable mate, but they sure help you become the person girls want to marry. Be kind to your younger (and older) siblings. Work hard without being asked. Be good with kids. Treat your mother well. Bonus points if you can cook.

Other POV Bonus:
One time, a good male friend of mine was asked what kind of hairstyle he likes the most on girls. He didn't have an answer other than "it depends on the girl" for a long time. But then, forever and a half later, he said, "Oh, I know. You know how girls kind of have their hair up when they work out, and then there's kind of sweat on their hairline? I like that."

Hm.
