What do you find attractive about women that they don't know is attractive?

Women known about this but it isn't really encouraged of them.

Physical power. I joke that there haven't been enough generations in between my ancestors fighting off lions and me so instinctively I still want to pass on strong genes. Women in martial arts, disciplined athletes and soldiers, firefighters and police. A rower once was grabbing a backpack and her bicep flexed and I lost brain power for a few seconds. My guy friends probably would give me a he-likes-man-arms dig but none of them actually believe that fit girls look like men at all (except steroid and TRT abusing bodybuilders.) A few of them confided in me that they dated physically active girls and although it wasn't a priority before, that dating experience set a definite yes-mam property to girls who can kick ass.

Humor. This one is kinda hard to describe. A lot of people have this loving thing they do where they roast their friends. Everybody is having a good time, the person being roasted is most likely laughing harder than any of their friends. The thing about a roast is it allows you to communicate why you dislike certain things in a form where the person being criticized can have a good time while it happens, so you can get your points out and heard. Today I accidentally dressed in all black for an office environment, at lunch my boss was offering me $20 to impersonate a restaurant staff member (they wore all black) and to fraud my way into the pizza making station. I'll never wear that outfit again and I had a great time understanding why not. I used to have a girlfriend who chose to mock me for my annoying habits that I wasn't aware of. I wanted to be mad back then, but I couldn't be. She would cross her eyes and repeat my arguments back to me in a me-so-dumb voice and when I would glare at her she would laugh at my face, I would crack up then. To this day when I hear women who I can automatically pick up on the vibe that they mean no malice, it's a comedic thing, I automatically get the idea that they're socially intelligent, which you gotta have, but excelling in it is pretty attractive.
