Throw a few out there.

1. The smile she has in a crowd.
- I don't care what anyone says, it's different when you smile in public and you smile in private. This is especially easy to notice with a few drinks between you. The very first thing that attracted to me was how big her grin got when she was laughing with people we knew.

2. The face she makes when she's working something out.
- And I don't mean at the gym. That's not so pretty a face. She has this remarkably stern, elegant look to her when she's trying to figure something out. It doesn't exactly communicate determination. It's almost angry - too soft to really be angry. I can't describe it.

3. Her compliments mean something.
- She's not the kind of girl that throws out absent compliments. They come now and again throughout the day and they're always pointed. Private. I just appreciate how she communicates them. It reminds me of me in a way.

4. Her Humor - What and How She Laughs.
- I could go on for days about this one. She and I both have sharp, grim senses of humor. It's almost like the rougher the circumstance the more funny we can find it. After a few dates it became clear this would be a huge strength in our relationship because, shockingly, I'm not a man who is prone to great stretches of levity. I find the world funny in a way that kind of runs different then most and she's right there with me.

5. Toughness beyond toughness.
- She's no shrinking violet. You don't push through your BS and graduates while working full-time and actively dancing for your school's company if you aren't tough. She's sweet with me. Soft. But when something pops up there's a flinty kind of assurance she has that communicates to me. I don't ever have to really about this girl. With me. Without me. It'll never matter. She's good. Always will be.

6. Her cutoffs in the summer.
- She's got a little country in her in the summer and, honestly, the cutoff jeans and bikini underneath (that song will always echo with me now) is a legitimate killer look for her.
 
This thread means something

  1. Her hair~It's beautiful. Even when it gets all over the bathroom. Even when it gets in my mouth. It's dark and curly and gorgeous and long and oh so feminine.
  2. Her voice~She has this warmth of expression that NO ONE anywhere can match. A particular turn of phrase that no one else uses. A bit of huskiness that makes me weak kneed.
  3. The way she laughs~From her belly. Not false or fake. She laughs with evident enjoyment and no hint of trying to be a girl. She laughs like a man, only sexier.
  4. The way she smells~Brown sugar, figs, sometimes sweat, sometimes melons. Under all of that is HER. Female, strong, sweet and tart. She smells the way she tastes. Beautiful~a full course meal.
  5. Her brain~Seriously, she makes me glad that I know her. She is bright, a fighter. (My love is retired Army) She has the ability to see an issue and help me to deal with it. She is REAL. She lends me her strength when I need it and isn't ashamed to make use of my strength when I have it to spare. She is all that is right with woman kind.
 
1. Her smile-It is genuine, warm, and makes me feel like smiling. She doesn't like her smile much but I always seem to find a way to make her smile. It warms my heart when I see it on her face.

2. Her voice-It is a small but very strong voice. She can make me feel loved, cared for, wrong (when I am wrong), and safe. It can be very feminine, like when she pouts and says please to get her way, and can be very masculine when someone has annoyed her or she is angry. Either way I love her voice.

3. Her eyes-They are the most expressive eyes I have ever seen. I love it when she is happy because her eyes smile bright like the north star. They are also very sexy and loving. When she looks at me I just melt away.

4. Her height-She may be 5 foot nothing but it is the perfect height for me. She is just the right height to give her the perfect build. When we cuddle at night she fits my body perfectly. She fits me.
 
1. The way he loves me, fiercely, protectively, always taking care of me and being thoughtful about my needs. He encourages me to not be afraid to live to life and try new things and believe in myself.

2. The way he is with our little one. He really is the best Dad. He's playful, a big kid, not worried about getting dirty and rough housing with him. But he also takes the time to really teach him about life and how you treat people with respect. Our little man is definately the spitting image of his Daddy. Loving, kind hearted and respectful but very protective of people he cares about.

3. He's one of those guys that look all rough and tough on the outside but he has a heart of gold. He opens doors for me, pulls out my chair, does sweet things for people around us like doing the yard work for an elderly neighbor, working on peoples cars for them, just a genuinely wonderful man.

4. His touch. It ranges from intimately tender to rough and firm, but it's always loving. I can have the worst day and he can slide his fingers through my hair and pull my head to rest on his chest and the worries of the day just fall away because I know he's there. He gives me as much cuddle time as I want. I'm a very loving, touchy feely kind of girl and soaks up the attention and returns it.

5. His kisses. God they make me melt. I can kiss him for days and not want to come up for air. His goatee tickles my face, scratches over my skin so deliciously. He often just touches my face so softly, his hands always finding their way into my hair or gripping my bottom and lifting me against him and making that hot growly sound he makes. Mmm yes, that's the best.

6. His laughter. We really laugh a lot together & at each other. He lets me be my bratty self, actually encourages it I think -grins- and he isn't afraid to laugh at himself either. He has the cutest laugh too. It's contagious and makes me laugh right along with him. He's got jokes, always has something sarcastic to say. I love that.

7. The way he smells. Mmm pure male. Makes me want to just rub up against him so I smell like him. It comforts me to be wrapped up with him, my face against his chest or buried against his neck. Yum.

Ok I could keep going but I'll stop for now :)
 
Great thread idea LI

1. She always supported me
2. She was the smartest girl in school AND the prettiest (still is after 23 years...)
3. She is tough - you don't cop a disease like hers and survive if you're weak
4. She lets me be the smart ass - she's the muscle to my frivolity
5. She understands what it means to be a boy/man - my son and I have it easy
6. The way she rolls her eyes and says "not again" when I do something childish/silly/dangerous, but still supports me
7. She will tell me what she thinks behind closed doors - and look out when she does - but if you dare criticise me and you're not her, well...... I warned ya
8. She's a terrible cook - and admits it!
9. She's still here
 
1. Everything. (Ok, I'll break it down a little.)

2. She has literally THE biggest, softest heart. When she loves you, she knows no bounds and is all in, feet first and will stick by your side through anything and everything.

3. She's a giver and a do'er. If there's a cause that needs a volunteer and a hard worker she's there. Still to this day even though she no longer teaches dance at the community center the kids still call her and she still goes to see them. Some are adults now and always have nice things to say about how she changed their lives just by believing in them when no one else did. Yeah *puts on my proud face* that's my woman.

4. She'll probably kill me for saying this because she keeps pretty quiet about things like this but it goes along with #3. Her and her girl are couponer's. Not like the crazy people on the show, but every weekend they clip and print coupons, go through sale ad's and but stuff ridiculously cheap then what ever extras we have they take to the school for the "We Don't Let Kids Go Hungry" back pack program. We also have a full pantry and whenever she knows of someone in need she's boxing up stuff and gifting it. See what I mean about her heart?

5. She's stunning. Gorgeous inside as well as outside and she smells like what I imagine heaven does. Nothing could be sweeter or more sultry than her skin, hair and everything else. ;) Intoxicating.

6. Her giggle. Full of fucking mischief.

7. The way she's taken to mothering my son. No one would ever know she didn't actually give birth to him. He's more her child than he ever was his birth-mother's. It makes her even more beautiful to me. He loves her like crazy and she loves and adores him. That was a match made in heaven for sure.

8. This is purely the man speaking, she's a wicked little slut. Fuck she drives me insane with lust, love and the deep need to fuck her until she's a sobbing wet mess of beautiful, glowing, radiant purrs. God, speaking of her purrs, they slay me. Nothing sexier than her purring. Not a fucking thing.
 
Most of the time I am in awe

1. His voice. I have to admit, while he's ridiculously good looking, it was definitely that voice that first got to me. I'm not usually one for accents (even for an American abroad!), but his drove me insane. He's tall - very tall - and his voice has the pitch and timbre to match.

2. His eyes. Hazel and reflecting every color there is in the right light. I could stare into them for hours.

3. His attitude. Born of privilege and not exhibiting a bit of it. In fact, I was shocked when I found out. Mainly because the first time I met him he was out at a pub with his brother, his best mate, and a mutual friend of ours and he was completely acting the fool. Voice or not, I thought - really? But there was some appeal in him behaving somewhat badly, boys will be boys and all that! He's also generous - he's worked extensively with Habitat for Humanity, volunteering time and getting dirty. He likes DOING - he says anyone can hand out money but the real measure of how much you give a damn is by how much you DO - if you're still able. He's one of the most genuine people I know, and what you see is what you get and he makes no apology for it. He's at home around EVERYONE and in every situation, whether he's in a tux or in old ratty sweatpants. Very appealing.

4. His hands. I'm not being funny - they know every inch of me, yes, but they're more than that. I can't explain it. Sometimes I look at them when they're tangled up in mine and think, wow. Can't explain it.

5. He's smart as hell and man enough to say "I don't know" when he doesn't.

6. He's quite often the first person to piss me off - and the first person to make me laugh about it without making me feel like an ass. I'm normally too serious and overly emotional and he can point it out in a minute and get me to laugh at myself. At the same time when I'm worked up over the small stuff it takes him five minutes to show me why it's just that - the small stuff. He keeps me grounded.

7. The little things. As I said, he's tall - about a foot taller than I - and he'll stand behind me or hug me and kiss the top of my head. It makes me feel cherished - it's the only word I can come up with. Or how he'll get up when I have to be in to work insanely early and make coffee, put some in a travel cup to take with me when he doesn't have to be up for another two hours. About two months ago I had a horrible, hellacious week at work - literally, the worst week of my life - and I came home to a personal spa: candles all over the bathroom, fancy-ass bath gear (which he admitted he got the sales girl to pick out for him), a fluffy new robe, and an incredibly hot full-body massage after.

Like the others, I'll stop now....
 
So like you LI!

So great to hear so many guys express on here! I love the idea of this thread, I think it's so important to give our partners props where they're due!

So the things I love about James...

1. When we started going out, I deflected him. Full blown showed my disinterest! I did everything I could to turn him off me, seriously. I showed him the 'real' me straight off the bat! I showed him Lit, Fetlife, my kink list, my photos from my BDSM scenes, I showed him EVERYTHING!
But he pursued me anyway, he persevered, he actually LIKED how weird I was! He thought all my kinks were like a delicious doorway to dominance and he really wanted to try it! He not only tried but succeeded in each and every single aspect of BDSM for me.

He researched for me!
James looked up caning and bought a cane for me so he could try it, he knew how to warm me up and build it up, what to hit and what to miss, he learnt how to tease and test me with it!

James bought wrist cuffs and rope, we've had hours of endless enjoyment allowing him to try his skills! From general spreadeagled to hogtied! I couldn't believe how much he has grown, this man I now call 'Sir' with love and adoration!

2. He's not afraid to tell me how much he loves me, how he feels when he feels it. He's constantly telling me how sexy and gorgeous I am and he'll tell me in detail how he feels about every part of my body if the mood strikes.

3. He believes in me. I know that sounds kinda cliche but he's the reason I'm going to University next year. He's the reason I'll be doing my Bachelor of Engineering, majoring in Civil Engineering. He believes I can do it, he believes in my intelligence and my grasp of understanding, my smarts. He's so supportive!

4. I love watching him with his daughter and I think she has really grown to love me too! She even hides behind me when she's shy now! :eek:
They play together so much, he lets her get away with murder. Truly, daddy's little girl! It's adorable! I love that he's such a great dad and I hope that one day he will be a great daddy to our kids too!

5. His sexy moments of immaturity that make me wanna cuddle him to death! We've created this thing where, when he's completely silly, he has to say 'sorry for being an ass'. Hehe! I love it, he's so cute when he's apologizing, I just can't stay mad at him!

6. He's the first man to not walk away when we're fighting. I try to escape and he'll follow me like a puppy until it's resolved. He'll pin me down on the bed if he has to and he'll always cuddle me when I cry.

7. When I'm sick...
I could be drunk off my face and throwing up all night and no matter how plastered he is or how it turns his stomach. He becomes like solid steel and holds my hair back for me, puts his straight face on and he makes sure I'm okay. He always puts me first.

I could just about go on forever; but I think I'll leave some for later! :heart:
