Driving -

The casual way some people drive, and how they put their hand on the back of the passenger seat and twist a little to see when they're backing up is apparently super hot. Maneuvering into a tricky spot is extra points.

Thick thighs -

As the old proverb goes: “Thick thighs save lives.” The unattainable female ideal of a thigh gap is thankfully on its way out, but this was also specifically noted as an attractive thing for men as well. One Reddit user explained, “If you have some tree trunks, I wanna climb 'em.”

Deodorant -

Collarbones -

The front protrusion of the pair of bones joining the breastbone to the shoulder blades, particularly on women, is just to die for!

Nice socks -

Most people pay attention to clothes, but there's apparently something to be said even for one's socks! It's the small details that really tell you about a person.

Excitement -

No, not that kind of excitement—a more innocent kind, like finding some money on the ground and showing some unadulterated glee. For many people, it's not so cool to be calm and collected!

Shaved heads -

Particularly on women, who for years have been taught that long hair is more desirable, the shaved head is super attractive. And that means Natalie Portman from 'V for Vendetta' level shaved!

Muscular women -

No more damsel in distress-esque physique. Let's hear it for the women that you'd run to for protection!

Red cheeks -

Natural sweat or scalp smell -

We're actually secreting chemicals through our sweat glands that stimulate desire, hormonal changes, and sometimes even fertility to certain people, called pheromones. You can't really control it, so it's just luck of the draw!
