When it comes to finding the perfect partner, there can be a multitude of things that people find themselves drawn to. To reveal which personality traits and physical features people find to be the most sexually appealing in a romantic partner, the sexy lingerie experts at Pour Moi surveyed adults in different nations across the globe to reveal what different countries desire the most in a potential partner – both in their looks and their personality.
Most Attractive Physical Traits
Adults from Australia, Canada, France, India, Italy, South Africa, the UK and the USA were all asked to highlight the physical traits that turn them on, with respondents selecting everything from eye colour to hairstyles.
To help bring the world’s ‘ideal’ looking partners to life, Pour Moi used AI technology to help visualise what men and women displaying the most popular physical and personality traits could actually look like in real life.
The results show off a variety of features people found to be sexy, with ‘freckles’ and ‘natural makeup’ being some of the hottest features on a woman, and facial hair and ‘tattoos’ being some of the sexiest physical traits on a man. Some of the more unique features that people find attractive in a romantic partner include crow’s feet, which came out on top for French men, hair ‘tied back’ for American women and eyebrow piercings and neck tattoos for Canadian men.
For the UK, the top results for those attracted to men are short curly hair, a square jaw, facial hair, and being tall and friendly. The most sexually attractive features for Brits attracted to women are honey-sun kissed long hair, kind brown eyes and light brown skin, with an outgoing personality.
Most Attractive Personality Traits
The survey revealed that having a good sense of humour was the hottest personality trait in any partner across the world, as almost two-thirds (60%) of respondents placed this as their top trait. Whether it’s creating inside jokes together or just engaging in funny banter together, being able to make your partner laugh is a global turn-on.
Almost half (49%) of the global respondents said that ‘thoughtfulness’ is a sexy trait in a partner. Whether it’s buying a new bottle of oat milk when they can see you’re running low or running you a bubble bath on the days you’re feeling unwell, ‘thoughtfulness’ is a major green flag. ‘Intelligence’ also gets people from all over the world going, with 28% of those looking for a romantic partner wanting someone they can have stimulating conversations with, or feel safe knowing their partner-to-be would be able to handle various situations.
Rounding off the top five are ‘looks’, with one in four (25%) saying it’s something that plays a part in them falling for a partner, followed by ‘scent/smell’ with 17% of the globe admitting a partner with a good scent is something they find alluring.

Marina Nicoli, Marketing Manager for Pour Moi, comments:
“They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and it looks like that may be true as the results show such a lovely variety of traits people find to be sexually attractive. This is what we hoped to achieve when conducting this research; we wanted to shine a light on how attraction goes beyond the stereotypical looks that many believe to be the ‘perfect’ body. It’s promising to see several natural features being among the top features; crow’s feet are featured highly in France, which can make a man look distinguished, and freckles and natural makeup also proved popular.
Whilst looks might be the thing people are initially attracted to, it’s great to see that having a good sense of humour and being thoughtful are top personality factors that people find appealing, as your personality can keep that spark alive.”
