2. “My girlfriend is nothing if not ambitious, and I love it. She’s an attorney and she works crazy hours, but that doesn’t really bother me because I know she wants to be the best at it she can possibly be. I guess I find it attractive because I’m ambitious and work hard and long too, so we get each other. And we make the most of the time we do spend together.”—Matt D.

3. “Her adventurousness. Is that a word? My wife will try anything at least once, and she’s pretty good about convincing me to try things with her. I’ve experienced things I never would have even thought about doing since I’ve been with her, and it’s made me a better person. I’ve loved a lot of the things we’ve done, except for skydiving. I will never, ever do that again.”—Shawn M.

4. “I’m admittedly sometimes a high-strung person, and I’m prone to severe anxiety. I stress easily about the stupidest things, and my girlfriend is the most calming presence in my life (she’s even more calming than Klonopin). It’s not so much that she has this innate ability to settle me down, it’s that she’s always more than willing to do so, and doesn’t seem to get frustrated with my general neuroses.”—Ryan H.

5. “My fianceé is extremely intelligent, and it is hot. It’s like she knows everything without even having to use Google. You should see her play pub trivia. It’s amazing. And I get boners watching her watch Jeopardy. Being with her has made me much smarter than I used to be, just by listening to her and through general osmosis. Not sure if I knew what that word meant before I’d been with her for a while.”—Brent F.

6. “You don’t understand this kind of thing until you become a family man, but my wife’s mothering skills are super attractive to me. She’s an amazing and selfless caretaker who will do anything for our kids, but she also balances that with a pretty busy work life, which is also attractive, to be honest.”—Christopher M.

7. “My girlfriend is a very blunt person, and I find that attractive. It’s not something I ever thought I’d be attracted to, but I love how she just gives everything to me straight. She’s not unfeeling or unkind, just honest. And you really start to value that after years of dating women who seem to speak and behave in a code, who instead of telling you what they’re actually thinking or feeling expect you to discern it from a series of clues or whatever. If my girlfriend is pissed, she tells me and she tells me why, and then we have an earnest conversation about it.”—Andrew S.

8. “My partner is just straight-up fun, man. She’s able to find enjoyment in pretty much anything, and she’s always up for something fun and exciting, whether it’s just a mini-vacation, a trip to a show, or something as big as what we did recently: We took a few weeks off work and took a train all the way across the country. Just to have fun and shake things up. It was great. There’s something very attractive to me about someone who says ‘Alright, let’s do it,’ when you propose something out of left field.“—Avery Y.
