agree  Ioana Claudia Popa: Poate "atragatoare intr-un mod aparte"? In limba romana, cam tot ce e cabalin si asociat unei femei, numai atragator nu este :-)

Reference information:
This means that there is something about her face that might make you think of a horse. We usually focus on, for example, a long face or perhaps a nose with slightly wider nostrils than most people have, and fairly strong features. That might not sound very attractive but there is no doubt that it can be.
