Odd And Quirky Traits That People Actually Find Super Attractive
A Reddit user recently asked, “What weird attributes do you find attractive in a person?” From wholesome, to intriguing, to just too much information, the internet had some interesting thoughts on the characteristics they think are attractive in others.
The responses didn’t include chiseled six-packs or Barbie-like blonde hair, but traits that go a bit beneath the surface.
Humor Has It
Many Redditors felt that a person who has a unique voice or even a full-blown belly laugh is their most attractive trait because laughter is in fact the best medicine.
“My girlfriend snorts when she laughs especially hard. She hates when it happens, but I get butterflies when I hear it.” —HaggisonFord
Angry (But In A Cute Way)
You know the phrase “you’re cute when you’re angry”? Well, for some people it is a trait they like in a partner, and for one user it was the moment they fell in love with their now-wife.
“First time I met my wife she was ripping some guy a new one on the phone and I was scared of her. Now when we have issues and have to confront businesses/bills/etc., I make her deal with them because it rocks my world to see her in action.” —lakota482
Skin Deep
Some commenters point out that what seems like skin imperfections to most people, they actually consider to be attractive, such as freckles, moles, or birthmarks.
“Scars are pretty neat [because] they show what a person lived through and that shows their strength.” —PsychologicalChips
It’s All In The Eyes
Many Redditors say that for them, attractiveness is all in the eyes. From innocent-looking “guys with puppy eyes” to people with deep brown eyes, perhaps there’s some truth to that old saying that “eyes are the window to the soul.”
“Everyone I know is obsessed with blue/green eyes, but brown eyes are beautiful to me. They remind me of my mother’s eyes, my best friend’s eyes, and every person I loved in my life had brown eyes. They remind me of earth and life, like planting my garden or sitting in a forest." —Next_Wing_5577
Easy, Breezy, Beautiful
Many users also point out that they find a person’s hair to be their most attractive trait, but perhaps not in the typical sense you might be used to.
Some commenters say that women who wear ponytails that show off their shoulders and neck, men with long and wavy hair, or even people with hair dyed bright colors are attractive.
Marching To The Beat Of Their Own Drum
While most responses were about physical characteristics, many centered around someone’s individual personality. Some traits include charisma, charm, and even a willingness to not care about what others think of them.
“Women with ‘character’ in their face. You just know they have lots of lights on upstairs.” —p38-lightning
Their Big, Beautiful Brain
While people can have the same eye color or hair type, or even look identical in the case of twins, it’s truly the human mind and how we individually view the world that sets us apart.
“A passion for ‘nerdy’ things. I find it really, REALLY attractive when my partner's eyes light up while telling me about some video game he's playing or this fantasy book he flirted with writing a few months ago. I think that engagement with something is really attractive and shows a big capacity to love." —SavedByChanel
A Big Heart
No, not their physical heart, but in the way that a person carries themselves and treats the people around them.
Some often overlooked but attractive traits included a sense of kindness, honesty, and compassion.
Their Hands
Other users gravitated to a person's hands. Whether small, soft, or calloused worker's hands, this is a trait people embraced.
"None of those super long stupid, insanely impractical fake nails thanks. Just screams high maintenance." —FroggiJoy87
And Finally
And because it’s the internet, it wouldn’t be complete without some over-the-top humor. We got it thanks to one Greek mythology-loving user who writes, “If she has snakes for hair then just one look from her will make me rock hard.” —PhreedomPhighter
At least we think he’s kidding.
