Attraction boils down to preferences. From broad shoulders to defined pecs, specific traits simply appeal to different individuals. These preferences can vary greatly, and some particular biases have the power to make you swoon at first sight.
Despite the difference in likes and preferences, here are 17 things men do that are guaranteed to take your breath away.
1. Carrying Many Chairs at Once
Carrying many chairs at once is a sign of strength. If you trace back in history, men are often regarded as attractive because of their strength. There’s just something primal about it, and it’s embedded in people’s DNA.
In a traditional courtship, men often display strength like peacocks showing off their colors. You would want a strong man who can assist you than someone who will always depend on you.
2. Rolled-up Sleeves
Nothing is hotter than a man with his sleeves rolled up, exposing his forearms, and seeming to be getting ready to get his hands dirty. This makes you feel that the guy is ready to do things for you.
3. Caring for Helpless Things
Whether rescuing a cute little bunny or helping a lost kid, being kind is surprisingly sexy for women. Women are known to have a soft heart, but that’s not always the case for men.
If you are looking for a long-term relationship, you might just be more inclined to find kind and do-gooder men attractive. Caring for helpless things is a major green flag.
4. Running Fast
Similar to strength, running fast shows athletic excellence. Ladies love a show of physical achievement, and running is one of them. Whatever the reason behind it, men running fast are magnificent to look at. The agility men show and the wet look from their sweat can easily make you swoon.
5. Change the Car’s Oil
There’s always this idea that men whose jobs involve fixing things are hot, whether they’re technicians or car mechanics. You’re bound to like a man who can do things for you, whether that’s a car oil change or a changing the tire of your car.
6. Changed the Radiator in the House
Some people say that if you do too much for a woman, you might look less attractive in her eyes. Others believe the opposite and have the same belief as Red Green, who said, “If the women don’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.”
From changing the radiator to fixing your lightbulbs, you will find a handyman attractive to look at and keep with you.
7. Hauling up a Furniture on His Own
Have you ever imagined a muscular man hauling up furniture like it’s as light as a pillow? That image of strength and masculinity is sexy to many women.
The crazy part is that the more difficult the task, the hotter the man looks. You just can’t help but be amazed when a guy’s showing his strength.
8. A Hand on the Back for Guidance
Nothing’s sexier on men than chivalry. While chivalry seems dead and a thing of the past, some guys still got it. A hand on the back is a discreet chivalry that looks hot on a guy.
It doesn’t need to be a grand gesture to be considered chivalry. A hand on the back can easily make your heart flutter.
9. Showing His Caring, Gentle, and Soft Side
More than the masculine side of men, there’s something so special about their gentle side. Men are known for their rugged approach, and society often sees their soft side as a weakness.
It’s why when guys show that gentle side, it feels like they’re sharing their vulnerability with you. That openness is so attractive for women who want to be in relationships.
10. Men Who Read Books
Bookish men who can quote lines from some of the best novels like Harry Potter or The Lord of the Rings are a major turn-on for some. This major turn-on may only be limited to individuals who like books, but still, it’s something women like.
Men who read books tend to be incredible conversationalists. You will find them sexy when they’re passionately discussing the books they’ve read.
11. Pausing and Thinking Before Reacting
When men get quiet even amid a stormy situation, they appropriately respond with a solution, which is much more attractive than men who respond just for the sake of responding. Maturity is sexy, and when a man has the sense of self to pause and think before calmly reacting, you can easily see who’s in charge.
12. Taking His Shirt off With One Hand
Another ridiculous but hot thing that men do is take their shirts off using only one hand. It seems illogical and weird, but the action looks so sexy.
A little bit of skin-showing is sexy enough. Add this to the fact slow but seamless reveal of the skin will complete the package.
13. Getting Excited and Talking About His Passion
A man who knows his passion and follows through with it no matter what is a real man. He even looks hotter when he talks about this passion and gets super excited talking about it.
Some men claim to fear oversharing because of rejection, so when someone forgets about that because of his passion, it’s awesome.
14. Making Sexy Sounds
Making sexy sounds during intimate moments is a major turn-on. You may feel awkward with sounds, especially with the notion that women fake these things. So when a man expresses himself with sexy sounds, it takes off the pressure from his partner.
15. Being Booksmart
Intelligence is sexy, and no, it’s not only applicable to nerds. It’s hot when the man you’re with can answer your questions without batting an eye. He doesn’t have to be a genius. But it’s an amazing sight when he knows random facts that most are unaware of.
16. Putting His Hand on the Wall
Maybe it’s just in the movies, but when a man puts his hand on the wall, whether to pee or when talking to you, there’s this manly vibe that’s going on.
It might be another weird turn-on factor, but it might be the image of getting pinned on the wall that turns the scenario into a sexy one.
17. Saving Women From Potential Danger
Whether pulling you to safety or shielding you from a stray sports ball, men acting like superheroes look attractive. You instantly imagine the powerful stances of Superman and Batman, who are strong and hot men. Seeing a man in action to keep you safe can easily turn you on.
