What’s the first thing you notice about a man when you meet him? A woman?

Men – hands. Whether they are wrinkled, stained, pristine clean. I like hands that reflect who a man is and what he does. No matter their natural state, if they are taken care of (i.e. not diseased or gross) then they are beautiful.

My husband has medium length fingers, slightly stubbed at the ends. They are often stained with paint, or glue, and he keeps his nails clipped short. His palms are soft and without callouses. I like to hold hands with him.

Women – The woman who is “runway beautiful” is going to just not register in my eyes. I like to see a woman who is comfortable sporting a tattoo or three, piercings (within reason – if you pierce your body to excess, well, that’s ridiculous). I think women who are different from the norm are more beautiful, more womanly than what is accepted out there.

And, it figures, I couldn’t find a photo to show what I thought was beautiful because there were too many pics of Runway wannabes! Pfffft.
