It doesn't necessarily have to be that literal of course.
The idea of a strong woman that can defend herself and me in the process is attractive in a way.
But strong women tend to look for a man that's even stronger than they are.
 
What turns me on? eye contact, a wee smile and smell, no! not a girl that reeks of cigarettes, gin and dirty sex a nice scent, If you're wearing rive gauche perfume there's a pretty good chance I'll make a pass at you.

Turn offs? big feet and hands, blimey feet are bloody gross at the best of times.
 
Not easy to answer in those days and age when everything will be considered a fetish or racist. For instance if I say I adore short hair on girls, it will be considered a "fetish" or if I say I like Asian women = "nerd from Canada or Western parts of America" and...if I say I don't like Asian women it's even more racist lol.
 
Delicate looking hands on a man are a no go for me. My eyes always go to the forearms, wrist, hand, fingers and nails. Strong and masculine long fingers nice nails. I like men who are bold, funny, confident not cocky. Also, can get what they give.
I have man hands. I have been rough with them and almost never wear gloves. Yet, then aren't all dried out. I met a woman IRL that was interested in man hands. She liked played with my hands and stroking my calluses. Unfortunately my face matches my hands so it didn't go any further then the hand playing. Interested in some hand pics? Ha! ha!

YOU ARE SO WRONG!!!!!

If you like Asian women then you are a rice chaser. Ha! Ha!

Good one. Now I will be thinking of thick and soft or skinny and hard...hands.

I have dainty little hands. No gym workout for the hands unfortunately.

I like complex thinking types. So if she's a tinkerer into reverse-engineering, or likes science and history stuff, or does anything artistic that appeals to my own creativity, okay then yeah, I'll probably be intrigued. BEFORE my ex unfortunately flushed her life down the toilet with drug abuse, the original reason I fell for her was because she was quick witted, had a sense of dark humor, and was pursuing electro-mechanical engineering in aeronautics school. Girl before that was a painter and an opera singer who was a psychology major. I've gotta be able to have a deep and meaningful conversation with a woman, is the thing. Otherwise I'll just get bored and it won't last, and I quickly learned just not to pursue something like that. I can't get with the whole modern superficial, watered-down standards of what's commonplace these days in the pool, it just isn't in me. She's gotta be able to hold down some kind of a job, I don't really care what the job is, just so long as it's a regular, standard job. Food service or retail job is fine, I don't care. I don't really date much anymore. 🤷‍♂️😅 It's not really a priority to me at the age of 34, I'm much more concerned with trying to keep a roof over my head and food in my fridge.

Turn off: almost everyone really.(ive just had really really bad experiences with people, and im almost never interested in anyone cause of it).

Turn on: weirdos with overlapping intrests, being in love with me, and slightly shorter hair than me that is either red or black i think, maybe?

Turn on - someone that makes me laugh - and laughs with me - shares experiences - great cuddles and spontaneous - wants to do things - equal.

Turn offs - Bad breath - anger - confrontational-Boring- loveless - demanding - must have !!!

I am a glass is always full kind of guy - loves doing anything- movies - theatre - playing vinyls - pub - foodie - just don't want to sit in staring into space !!! really lonely 😞
