You’d never guess it, but some guys find big noses and dark under-eye circles incredibly sexy. Yep, you read that right.
We got the inside scoop from men who spilled the beans on the unexpected, quirky things they secretly find irresistible about women. Get ready to be surprised!
Resting bitch face
Resting Bitch Face (RBF) is a real phenomenon that many people experience. It’s that neutral, expressionless face that unintentionally makes someone look angry, annoyed, or even contemptuous, despite not feeling any of those things.
David B. Givens, the director of the Center for Nonverbal Studies in Spokane, Washington, calls it a “blank face” and explains that studies show people tend to interpret this neutral expression as unfriendly.
But here’s the thing – despite its association with negativity, RBF actually has its appeal for a lot of men. In fact, many find it unexpectedly attractive. There’s something intriguing about that calm, serious demeanor. Maybe it exudes confidence, mystery, or just a hint of rebellious energy.
”It kind of turns me on when I see it on a woman,” one man explained.
So, if you’re stuck with RBF, don’t stress too much. Sure, you could try to remind yourself to smile, but that might feel like a constant battle against your natural expression. Instead, embrace it. You can always laugh it off, even if the smile doesn’t quite make it through. Sometimes, the toughest faces are the most captivating.
Not having cosmetic surgery
In a world where the trend of cosmetic enhancements, from Botox to lip fillers, has become more mainstream than ever, it’s easy to feel the pressure to conform. Social media constantly showcases influencers with perfectly plump lips and wrinkle-free faces, often making people feel like natural beauty isn’t enough.
But many men actually prefer the natural look and see it as the most beautiful version of a woman.
”Not having cosmetic surgery. Seriously, girl, your lips are perfectly kissable without any lip filler,” one man said.
“For me, it’s a bit of a turn off because it shows the girl is insecure about her looks and I like girls to be confident about themselves as they are,” another shared.
Most of the men that Body and Soul spoke to weren’t overly concerned about whether women had lip injections or not. What mattered more to them was confidence —if a woman felt good about herself, wasn’t trying to look unnatural, and carried herself with assurance, that was what really stood out.
Deep voice
A deep voice is a trait that many find incredibly attractive, even if it often carries a serious or intense tone. Some people naturally have a voice that resonates with richness and depth, which can unintentionally come off as commanding, authoritative, or even intimidating.
But here’s the twist: despite its potential to sound serious or even intimidating, many people find a deep voice irresistibly alluring.
”The HUSKY voice like Toni Braxton is way too sexy. I am always turned on by such women. a HUSKY voice with a great personality, confidence, intelligence and beautiful body is worth dying for,” one man explained.
So, if you naturally have a deep and husky voice, don’t worry about coming across too intense. Sure, it might sound serious at times, but that’s part of its charm. Embrace it — because sometimes, the most powerful voices are the most attractive.
Baseball cap with ponytail
There’s something about a woman wearing a baseball cap with a ponytail pulled through the back that many men absolutely love, apparently It might not be the most common look, but there’s just something effortlessly attractive about it.
Here’s what a man says about what he likes about it:
”Baseball cap with the ponytail pulled through 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.”
”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,” another man writes.
Dark circles under eyes
Some men find dark circles under a person’s eyes unexpectedly attractive.
They see it as adding a certain depth to a face, giving it a moodiness that feels real and approachable. It’s not about perfection, but the rawness and authenticity that comes with those little imperfections. One man shared his perspective:
”Bags and dark circles under her eyes. I was really in love with Brittany Murphy because of that. And my girlfriend kind of looks like a raccoon because of her dark circles, which I think are really cute.”
Little things and secret turn-ons that men love
There are certain subtle things about women that men might love without them even realizing it. One Reddit thread was full of men sharing small, seemingly insignificant details they find endearing about women, and reading through them really warmed my heart. Here’s a glimpse of what some of them had to say:
”Being extremely passionate about their hobbies.” —u/Ung-Tik
”I love a girl that needs glasses.” – u/jerrycoles1
”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.” – u/TopShelfSnipes
”I like a focused woman”
”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.” —u/ContinousSelfDevelop
”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.” – u/Hektortub
”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.” —u/warminthesnowstorm
”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.” —u/Competitive_Voice636
