The CC Weekly Weigh In: Gettin’ Weak In The Knees

OMG. Drooling.

While walking to the gym the other day, I found myself walking behind a group of boys en route to the bar for some afternoon drinking. Well, I assume that was where they were heading. I didn’t hear much of what they were saying after I noticed one of them was wearing a pair of Sevens that hugged his butt just right and lay perfectly atop his pair of vintage-inspired sneakers.

I was so caught up in my imagination (read: those jeans piled up on my floor) that I didn’t notice when the boys stopped for a red light…and I walked right into them. If that wasn’t embarrassing enough, I literally had drool dripping down my chin.

What can I say? There are just some things I can’t resist, and a hot pair of jeans is one of them. Everyone has their vice, so this week I asked the CollegeCandy writers to share what makes them weak in the knees. What’s your weakness?

Alex – Lakehead University: I can’t resist a pair of thick, black glasses and a great smile. I like happy nerds.

Sara C – Fordham: I love a man in a suit. There’s something about a clean-pressed shirt and tie that makes me want to rip all the clothes right off!

Norah – Drake University: Intelligence – and an Irish accent. Irresistible.

Leah – Ryerson University: I’m a sucker for a guy who can play guitar and sing.

Kathryn – University of Wisconsin-Madison: Piercing blue eyes and really long eyelashes. Guys always seem to luck out and get naturally long lashes while girls try every mascara under the sun to get that extra “oomph.”

Liza M – Minnesota: Nothing is better than a guy who smells good! Bonus points if he’s wearing Aqua De Gio instead of Axe.

Ness – Sheridan: Sex eyes.

Katie – Michigan State University: Styled hair.  Not gelled or lame crap like that, but cut and styled…like, Asian style.  Hell, I might as well just say, “If they’re Asian, I can’t resist them.”

Lauren H – The New School: Ok, it’s cheesy, but a great smile just does it for me the way nothing else can. Not a half-hearted smile, but a real “I’m happy to see you” smile puts me all a-flutter.

Kari – FSU: Mouth watering kisses… I love swooning!

Cristina – Michigan State: BROWN EYES.  If it’s a certain shade of brown eyes, I stop breathing for a few minutes.  In a good way.

Sarabeth – University of Texas: A good set of v-lines. *drool*

Marisa – Wesleyan University – I have a thing for guys with thick, dark hair. Nothing hotter than that!

Kelly- Simmons College: Strong arms are my weakness.

Donyae – University of Maryland: Tattoos and piercings. That’s two, really, but they kinda go hand in hand don’t they? And the crazier they are the better.

Erica – Kent State: I LOVE abnormally tall guys (think 6’2″ & taller).  I am just like, instantly attracted to them.

Carrie – Duke: I love when a guy sports a simple, white T-shirt. (And if he happens to pair the look with shaggy brown hair and toned arms, that won’t hurt either.)

Lena Chen – Harvard: Good taste in restaurants. I like men with discerning tongues!

K – GW: This may sound weird, but I always notice a guy’s voice and the way they talk, I think it says a lot about a person (I don’t just mean accent, however an Aussie accent and you are cordially invited to my bedroom).

Carly – Grinnell: If he smells really good, I’m done for. (Un)fortunately, this doesn’t happen very often.

Abby – Syracuse University: A backwards hat. I think it’s the Midwestern, country girl in me…

Maddie – Tufts: Facial hair when it’s not too short, not too long. The perfect amount of scruff.
