We all have that one thing that we're fixated on and may be too embarrassed to reveal, given its oddity.
Whether it's an idea, tangible thing, or that certain je ne sais quoi, they say, about a person, people are deeply attracted to it.
But despite its self-ascribed stigmas, it's what makes us all unique…or plain weirdos.
Thankfully, under the anonymity of Reddit, strangers shared their innermost, deepest desires that were kept secret until now.
Redditor armedshutter asked:
"What is the weirdest thing you’re attracted to?"
It's a niche thing.
That Satisfying Sound
"I don't know why but when my Husband gets ready for work, and he puts his belt on The sound of the buckle clinking does something to me."
– AmazonianGiantess
"Ooh i still have his old belt in my drawer. He can't wear it anymore but the sound of it buckling and hitting the hardwood floor....OMG. I'd get giddy."
– Somebodyelse76
"I’m the opposite. My favorite part of the work process is my husband getting out of his work suit and undoing the belt. I'm just pulling it off, and the clack it makes when it goes taught. I can’t tell you how often it ends with me helping him get off the rest."

Sleek Street Manuover
"People who can parallel park like it’s nothing."
– SecureFortune4457
"I could parallel park an 18-wheeler. But I haven’t done it since ‘97, so who knows if I still can. These days, I can parallel park a plane. 😂"
– Fabulous_Leopard_874
"This is my god damn super power. My wife is numb to it at this point but anytime I’ve got a friend in the vehicle that witnesses it for the first time it’s magical."
“You’ll never fit in there”
My wife “Oh f'k, don’t get him started”

The Organizer
"I once had a guy friend pull out an incredibly well-stocked first aid kit. It was like a CD book. He flipped to a page that had all feminine products on it, and in that moment, I felt like I wanted to have him. So I guess a well-stocked first aid kit that includes things for women's emergencies, lol."

Let's get physical.
Love Pooch
"Pot belly on a woman. That featured prominently on old classical statues of women where the ideal body shape was a bit of extra weight. (But not a lot.) It’s crazy to me that so many healthy women hate their pooches when it’s the sexiest part of their body by far."
– DieterFockerUchtdorf
Nice Digits
"The fingers of men, I always I look at their fingers to see if they are cute."
– Piripituchi33
"Okay I have to share this! I was the same way! My friends thought I was weird that I loved good fingers. A strong well kept hand was a huge turn on for me."
"I met my husband and hated his fingers- I told him one time they were chubby and big. He then looked me dead in the eye and said 'at least let me show you what I can do with them before writing me off'. Uh…. I married him and his cabbage patch fingers a year later."
– Formal_Reaction_1572
"I love men's hands, but a man with nice fingers... OOF. I was just having a conversation with my husband earlier today and mid-talk he started putting on hand cream and I legit BLANKED. I was so mesmerised my brain just... stopped processing? 🥵"
– flooferine
Personal Stamp
"Unique birthmarks. This extremely beautiful woman i know has one above her right eye that is only visible when she doesn't wear makeup. I saw her in the gym one day with her bare face, and I could not stop staring from across the room."
– BGizzle7070
Hair It Is
"When a girl has hair that's so black that it has blue highlights. I'm not sure that counts as 'weird,' but there it is."
– eggs_erroneous
His Gifts
"A guy who’s just the right amount of protective - not in an abusive, controlling kind of way, though."
– OceanBlueRose
"Men's necks and collarbones. I can't even explain it, on the right dude I find it so sexy."
– UnknowableDuck
Her Gifts
"When you can see veins in a girl's boobs, don’t ask why."
– No_Surround8330
"This reminds me of the time my cousin asked her boyfriend (of 3 weeks) if he knew what color her eyes were, and he couldn’t remember if they were green or blue."
"When she started to get mad he said he knew OTHER THINGS, like he knew that her right boob had a small vein running along the top of it and her left boob had two tiny beauty mark about half an inch below the nipple."
"There was more to it that I can’t quite recall, but let’s just say if the police were ever on the hunt for her boobs and had to rely on his description?"
"They’d pick her up in 10 minutes."

A guy who can play the piano flawlessly was always my kinda guy.
Talented men have always gotten my attention, but especially guys who can just play anything on the spot and make it sound like it's been well-rehearsed when it wasn't.
I married one.
