QUOTE(Jazzman @ May 28 2007, 11:42 AM) Being from the Not Hot Club myself, I guess this is encouraging to a point. The unspoken truth here, though, is that if she doesn't like the way you look, personality doesn't help at all. Same for him, too. Guys are almost as shallow as women: almost but not quite.

And what is Hot at the moment? I just want to know whose ideals I'm failing to live up to this week.





OK, I read this post by Jazzman and then I responded with a post of my own and ended it by describing a few things I think are hot about my husband (In hot pink).

And in doing do, it put a smile on my face.

So I thought we should all take the time to write down what we think is hot about our spouse, significant other, boy friend/girl friend, etc. Since we spend so much time obsessing about the celebrity, let's give our sig others a chance to shine as well.

This shouldn't be too hard...(TWSS).

My boyfriend is hot because he loves me for who I am. He shows me total respect and loyalty. He's about 6 feet and when he hugs me, I feel like I'm in the safest place on earth. He sometimes lets his hair grow a little long and it starts to 'flip' slightly and it goes just past his eyebrows in the front, and to me that's really hot. He's a cuddler. When I'm feeling down, he'll do anything he can to cheer me up. He always listens to me. He told me that when we marry and have children, he'd love to have little girls. He's not only attractive to me physically, but has an incredibly kind heart and a gentle soul. He'll go with me to see cheesy movies, and doesn't mind when I want to shop for clothes while we're out. He has a great sense of humor.

Even though I'll be on here and "gush" about John Krasinski/Jim Halpert, it doesn't come close to how I feel about my boyfriend. The John/Jim comments are based solely on me appreciating the talent of good writers and a cute actor that can pull off the lines. My boyfriend however, is hot to me because I know what kind of person he is and I love him deeply because of that.

What makes my husband hot is that he has no idea. He's neither cocky or self-conscious whatsoever about his appearance. He has amazing cheekbones and a fantastic nose. He's lean and toned. He has a huge smile and he's not afraid to use it. He's mischevious and smart and he knows where the line is. And I know I'm walking into a lot of "TWSS"s, but I mean this in a purely nonsexual kind of way: his hands are big. I love watching him handle small things (there I go again) like tying his shoelaces or brushing his teeth. It's incredibly masculine in a surprising kind of way. And when we hold hands it looks like Ariel and Eric at the end of the Little Mermaid.

Yeah, fundle bundle...sounds like you have a keeper!!! And trust me when I say this...when you have kids and if you have a little girl, your heart will melt when you see your husband hold her...because she will melt his!! I have three girls...I know. He sounds like the perfect kind of guy to be a father to little girls and a husband to you!!





Verygood, I know what you mean about big hands...my husband is a big man (6'4) and his hands are huge...and they even look bigger when he's holding our three year old's hand.

Oh thanks! I get a feeling sometimes that a lot of the women on the board are very much like me. It's funny how we all seem to have the same taste and sense of humor and even find the same kind of men attractive. It's nice that we are able to identify like that!

And something that I forgot to mention earlier, the most important thing about a guy, no matter what he looks like, is that he's easy going and fun to be around. I've seen a lot of "Jims" with a lot of "Pams" who weren't able to make things work because they didn't know how to pick their battles and allowed their egos to get in the way. My husband and I have been together over a third of our lives and when people ask what's important to us, when it comes to being with eachother every day it's not about how attractive or exciting the other is, it's about knowing that no matter what happens today, they will be there tomorrow.

Yes, egos can get in the way and cause a multitude of problems. I say leave your ego at the door and come on in!!

Thanks for responding to my thread! It doesn't look like it will be too popular, but I think it's always nice to stop and think about what makes our lives great and to give props to the one who makes it that way!

Here's another what makes my husband hot...him brushing my girls' hair with his big ole hands! He is my middle daughter's favorite hair brusher!!

I'm 6'6" and apparently you ladies feel that is too tall. D*** genetics.

6'6 is not TOO tall!! Well, maybe, unless you're 5'

Pfft, go up 2 feet and you will be too tall.

Great thread, sed! I love reading about everyone else's special someones.

Where to start with my hubby.

My husband is hot because he respects me. He would never do anything to hurt me and his family always come first.

My husband is hot because he's six feet tall and has a smile that melts my heart. He also has...chesthair! (You people in the Jam Therapy thread know how I feel about chesthair). He doesn't have too much, but just enough that makes him very manly.

My husband is hot because he makes me laugh until I cry and I can do the same to him.

My husband is hot because he loves our children and even when we go out on a date, he gushes about how great they are.

My husband is hot because he can fix things and he makes things out of wood.

My husband is hot because he is teaching my son how to treat women and will help my daughter find a good mate, because hopefully she will find someone like him one day.

Finally, my husband is hot because he tollerates my JK and The Office love and is coming with me to the Office convention.

What a guy!

*Edit* I forgot to add his amazing hazel eyes, incredible eyelashes and his maple leaf tatoo. He is a proud Canadian and that makes him hot in my eyes!

He is coming with you to the convention?? Yay Bees...yah, that is hot!!

Reasons my husband is hot:

1. Beautiful brown eyes
2. Deep, sexy voice
3. His butt looks great in jeans, shorts, boxers, or nothing!
4. Chest hair, lots
5. Long, dark eyelashes
6. He makes me laugh constantly
7. He's my best friend
8. He's committed to me, my family and God
9. He's not afraid to show affection to our 3 boys, even in public
10. He's an amazing dad who makes breakfast for our boys every day, and gets lunch ready for our oldest.
11. He does bedtime stories and prayers nearly every night
12. He has an amazing business sense
13. He makes me CDs of love songs to tell me how he feels about me
14. The way he says "Honey" to me
15. His man smell
16. He sings to me when we slow dance
17. He really cares about my happiness, one of his mottos is "A happy wife means a happy life"
18. He cried when our babies were born.

I could go on and on, but I am sure nobody cares as much as I do about what makes him hot.

Looks like we both have a couple of good Canadian men on our hands, right JW4L?

Abso-fruitly!!
It's the Canadian climate that makes them so rugged, handsome and smell so darn guud!!

I highlighted the things that are the same about my Canadian hottie!

My hubby literally made me laugh and cry on and off for 3 or 4 days when we were in Jamaica about 10 years ago on vacation. He just had to say the punchline and I would laugh until I cried. But the best part was when he said that he was so happy that he could still make me laugh like that after 5 years of being married. We had had a rough year leading up to that trip and it was great to reconnect and that's when he knew he still had me crazy about him.

okay as a single gal this thread makes me happy and depressed all at the same time.

Sigh one day... I know my Jim is out there somewhere.

All of your husbands sound so nice and wonderful, you are all so lucky to have them!!

Thanks.

You will PH. Don't give up and don't ever settle for second best!! You deserve a Jim Halpert!

Yup, that sounds about right.

But you do get all of the firsts, like dates and kisses. I loved that whole tense-but-thrilling ohmygodhetouchedmyhand...didhemeantotouchmyhand...wasmyhandsweating...
HE'SSTILLTOUCHINGMYHAND!!!

Thanks for sharing about your husband, jimswife4life! That makes me smile. And it is amazing how hot a man who loves his children and his family is...

Be sure to tell your hubby why he's hot! It makes for some guud times!

I didn't mean to make anyone sad!!

I think instead of sad, it should make you hopeful, or how did Pam put it...optomistic...that there ARE men out there who will make you feel like the poster's on this thread! Call me a hopeless romantic, but I truly believe that! Just don't settle for a Roy in your search for a Jim!!

My husband is hot to me because he is what I consider a "real man"....that is, he is very masculine without having a need to prove it to anyone, he never acts macho or cocky.

He's hot because he can fix anything, and would never have to pay another man to do a job around the house. Tool belts are pretty hot. *g*

He's hot because he is a wonderful father to our daughter.

He has a bald head, which, I know is not hot to everyone, but it is to me.

He's long and lean with a hot working man's build. I think muscles made from labor are hotter than muscles built at a gym.

In ten years together he has never sworn at me or raised his voice to me. We've actually never had a single fight. Easy-going, even tempered guys are hot.

For those gals still single, this thread should make you hopeful. There are good guys out there. Just don't settle for the jerks, even if they are physically hot. Go for the good guys....when you really love someone who's good to you, they tend to get hotter and hotter in your eyes no matter what they look like.

bossofdancing, I can't agree with you more about the muscles from labor...whew!! And about loving someone who's good to you...you are sooo correct. Thanks for letting us know about your wonderful husband...it's always nice to know there's other women out there who appreciate their husbands!! I seem to have a few friends these days who are more into themselves than their families, so this is very wonderful for me to see that I am not alone in thinking my husband is hot for very normal, everyday reasons.

Thank you, sedimentary! He is one of a kind, I'll tell ya. We all seem to be very lucky people to have such wonderful things to say about our mates. And to those of you that are single, the right one will come along one day, and when they're the one, you'll definitely know.

You've got an inch on me, but I challenge you to a game of basketball in the warehouse.

That's a great idea! We should all remind our men how hot they are to us, and how they are still tops on our list, JK or not. It was funny when I started my list I figured to put 10 things down but once I started thinking about him I kept remembering so many reasons he's special to me.

I agree with another post of yours too sedimentary, when I worked outside the home before the babies arrived, the women often complained about their husbands and talked about how great other men were, and it really influenced my thinking back then as a new wife, I think that focusing too much on the negative makes it harder to see the positive, in anyone not just the spouse.

Yeah, it has been a while .... now it is. OMG is he drunk, he is drunk, OMG I am getting out of here..

no I am not bitter


There are good days, and there are bad days. At the moment no Jim's are n sight.. but that might be becasue in college all the boys want to do is drink and party.. sigh.. today is one of those bad days.

I am optomistic!! I am I really am.. I mean it will all work out for good in the end. ( Now where is Jim knocking on my door?? )

Romantic restaraunt lighting! I need to start bring a camera to restaraunts, my wife looks unbelievable with candlelight on a table.

My wife's super motivated work ethic makes her hot. There are lots of physically attractive women, it's the personality that makes the difference. My wife has an excellent personality.

That is maybe the sweetest thing I have ever heard (read?). That is so nice!

I would almost be really embarressed talking about all the ways I think my husband is hot because he is (physically) the most attractive man I have ever seen up close. I remember when we first met, I was just . . . um, amazed . . . because I had never been attracted to a man for his looks like that before. It was crazy. Then we started dating, and it only took a couple of dates for me to know I wanted to marry him. In a nutshell, very tall, dark, broad shouldered, deep brown eyes, great smile, thick dark hair. He's yummy. I joke all the time that I married him so we would have beautiful children. All of our friends are very aware of how hot I think he is. (And, get ready for this JK-lovers -- He's totally hotter than JohnK!) I would post a pic but I dont want yall lusting after my man.

Ok, here's some "other" reasons:

1. He works hard to allow me to stay home with our daughters.
2. He treats his baby girls with gentleness and devotion.
3. He makes me laugh like nobody's business.
4. He is very servant-hearted and giving.
5. He smells fantastic.
6. He lets me sleep in the little nook of his chest and shoulder even though I am sure its not that comfortable for him.
7. I hear him tell my daughter to say sweet things to me when I am having a bad day.
8. He loves me, and that is amazing in and of itself.

Dare you.

How old are you?



Oh, I'll find one now!

you know HTC I have always gotten the cute ones, and I always told myself the one time a guy who I find smokin likes me.. he will be the one.

( your post just made me think about that)

yeah, now you have to post the picture.... you can not leave us hanging!!

That is irrelevant.

That is so positively awesome! I bet you could set up your kitchen table with some candlelight...provided there are no little ones to blow out the candles (like at my house) and then you'd already have your camera...and I'll bet she'll look even better if you tell her what makes her hot to you!!

That was really nice of you to reply...

Herecomestrouble...your husband sounds incredible...and I am glad you appreciate the things he does to make your life wonderful!! I am happy to hear that he is good to your girls (how many do you have? I have three daughters...)...a man who is good to his girls is definately a keeper!! And he's a looker too...OK, we're waiting for the picture!!

The first thing that got me was my husband's blond hair and blue eyes...incredibly blue, beautiful eyes!! And now I have three girls who have his exact eyes and it is awesome!! Especially since I have dark hair and hazel eyes...

^^ we have two little girls - almost 3 and 7 months. He's a great dad.

Ok he wouldn't let me post a pic of him on here, but if you go to my profile, you might see one! I dont know.

HCT, I may have seen a picture of a rather handsome man on your profile, but I don't know if I did or not... Hmmm...is he a long lost relative of JK? Very nice...and since I know he is a great dad, that's double!! My girls are 8, 5 and 3...so your two are about the same age difference as my two youngest...they get along great!!! It's a nice age difference...once your little one is walking, they'll be best buds, I'm sure! Thanks for posting a picture of what might be your husband on your profile!

When you least expect it... ...he will find you. (Kind of sounds like "If you build it, they will come" from Field of Dreams).

People keep telling me this... yet.

no at the moment I do not have time for a man, that is not to say if one happened to find me I would make the time!

I will have hope! Who knows maybe you guys will get to "see" me meet Mr. right and get engaged on the boards..

Wow. I didn't think you'd actually take me up on my dare.

Here's 1000 Schrute Bucks. Take your husband somewhere nice.

Yeah, I love that they are two years apart.


"I don't back down..." You dare me, I take you all in. And I'll be taking it down soon, cause I feel kind of weird- like I'm objectifying him. Oh well. I do that daily.

HTC, i confess to saying "YOWZA" when i saw him



*runs away and hides for semi-ever*

That is perfectly alright. That's what I said when I *saw* him for the first time as well.

My husband can barbecue a chicken breast perfectly...not too done, nice and juicy.

The other day on the phone he said he wants to fight for me- you know like never give up on us, etc. And this was just because he felt like it, not because of a fight or anything. It was amazing.

If that happens, we'll throw you a bridal shower, complete with an appearance by Ben Franklin!!

So he is patient as evidenced by the perfectly BBQ'd chicken...and he is willing to fight for what he wants!!! Nice!!!!

God bless your husband! Please give him a hug for me and give one to yourself as well. Us "civilians" just don't know how lucky we are to have people like your family who are willing to sacrifice so much! I am honored that you responded to my question. And I truly thank your husband for his service and you for the sacrifices I am sure you and your kids made! Isn't it nice to see that he has touched so many lives...and didn't have to brag about it! Bravo!

HCT, he's adorable!! And forget James Bond, I am a sucker for the English Tie. A hot man with great fashion sense, no wonder you're head over heels!

bare with the lovey dovey talk for a second. What I find hot besides the accent as most know, is that he's so funny. He makes me laugh, even when he drives me crazy. He thinks the dumb things I say are funny and is always amazed about something I say or do. And he adores all the odd things I can do. Trust me when I told him I could make a muppet, I couldn't live that one down for months, but he actually took a interest in all my little strange things I do. And it has nothing to do with the fact that he's played soccer all his life and was a ex-fire man and has a body that better than beckham.*blushes big time* 2 and a half years later I still turn red when he walks around with no shirt. And lastly he's a great dad, and I couldn't ask for anything better than a real hands on dad type for more kiddies later. Okay you may all now go throw up. hahaha
