As Lawrence puts it, she’s a “ruddy, country-looking girl with soft brown hair and sturdy body, and slow movements, full of unusual energy. She had big, wondering eyes, and a soft mild voice, and seemed just to have come from her native village.” She is also utterly compassionate, and loves long and leisurely walks in the woods, which indeed is a turn on for many.

2. Lisbeth Salander from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo: If you are a man who is not hopelessly romantic and does not like elaborate celebrations of love, then Lisbeth Salander is just the woman for you.
