I'm not sure I would categorize any of these as sexist.
Rooted in gender roles? Sure. But I think the concept of sexist flies out the window when a couple decides, as a couple, how things "work" for them.
For example, do you dislike when Tim takes your hand and leads you through a crowded restaurant? If so, and he knows it and does it anyways -- sexist. If not, I wouldn't think to give it the negative label.
Just my initial thoughts.
Most of our relationship isn't very gender non-conforming, but Adam definitely is chivalrous in every day life. Opens doors, takes my jacket, cleans snow off my car, etc. I love it.
ETA: LOLOLOL I READ "SEXIEST" AS "SEXIST." FAIL. I WAS SOOOOO CONFUSED ABOUT WHY THESE THINGS WERE SEXIST.

Lol I was so confused!! I reread my title 3 times to see if I used the wrong word!!
DH will come and kiss me on the tip of my nose. I love it and it still gives me butterflies. He'll also come up behind me, push the hair away from my neck and nestle his chin/face into my neck/shoulder and tell me that he loves me. I absolutely love it.
I also love when he holds my hand and guides me through a crowded place.
I like it when he grabs my butt when I'm making dinner or folding laundry.
My love language is very much physical touch, so if he's being physical, I like it.
See, I am the opposite...it drives me crazy when i'm just trying to wash the damn dishes and DH wants to be all cuddly and whatnot. His love language is touch, while mine is acts. I kind of have to remind myself to be snuggly and sweet sometimes
As PP's have said, DH is very good about doing the 'little things' to take care of me. Leaving the Keurig on and ready in the mornings before he leaves, letting me sleep in on weekends while he gets up with B, taking my car to have it washed/gassed up. He's great at gifts and bigger stuff, too, but I really appreciate the small day-to-day stuff that makes my life a bit easier.
Also, when he wears his flight suit and aviators, or his dress whites...uh, swoon.

Same with kamakaziartist! I love it when he is physical with me.
He is definitely an A$$ man so he loves to smack the booty!
Aside: Sunday night we were fooling around and I was giving him head (It was his birthday) and I guess I bit down a bit... and he says "you ask your birth moms if they bite their husbands junk!!!" It's just got a little hickey on the tip I said "It looks like cancer!!" he says
DH is a gym rat and has the body to prove it. He's dead sexy after a work out when he's all sweaty and muscle-y. He also looks damn good in a suit/tux. He likes things cut close.

ME too! Drives me crazy when I 'm just trying to get stuff done and he's trying to be snuggly.
Same, or when he tries to hold my hand or cuddle when we are outside and it's hot out. Ew, get away from me!

I THOUGHT OF ONE!!! Anytime he straps on his guitar and plays music. It was better when he was in a band and there were flashing lights and shit, but even now, just in his music room it is pretty damn sexy.
