    I seem to have a trend for going for shortish guys. My height or a little taller... 5'6 to 5'9. I like lean. All over the place with hair, eyes, etc. I've only dated white guys but that's only because I've only lived in places that aren't exactly diverse.
  • Brian bloom has always been my type.:tongue:

    I don't know if I necessarily have a "type", since every time I thought I did, someone would come along that trumps what I initially thought my type was. Personality ends up being the wild card that trumps "type" every time.

    My type (there are exceptions to every rule below, but in GENERAL, here's mine):

    1. Race: TOTALLY unimportant. I've lived all over the world and have seen beauty in every color.

    2. Height: 5'8" or shorter. I prefer woman who are my height or shorter.

    3. Body Type: I like women who are typically categorized as "thick." That term is subject to interpretation which would take longer than a few paragraphs. To put it simply, you must have curves. And yes, you can be thick, have curves and still be in shape and healthy. Thin, skinny women normally don't attract my attention. Something in a size 10 will typically catch my attention before something in a size 2.

    4. Muscular vs Toned: Toned definitely. I don't need anyone cracking walnuts with the butt cheeks..

    5. Eyes/Hair: Immaterial as long as you have both.

    HAIR COLOR: black or brown
    EYE COLOR: black or brown
    HEIGHT: 5'3" and up <--- I am NOT more attracted to height, just want him taller than me when I wear heels
    WEIGHT: a little underweight to a little overweight

    OTHER appearance: straight teeth, maybe wears glasses
    RACE/Nationality: I typically go for non-american asians. This is the first thing that I look at.

    I love bald men. Shaved bald head, with or without a goatee, and taller than me. They also must have a nice smile with all their teeth. They don't have to be real, they just have to be there. I hate jacked up mouths. Uggg. And if they have a deep voice...Ooo la la! Its not a deal breaker...but I do love a nice, sexy voice.

    Hmm I'm married but I'm gonna do this just for fun. hehehe

    Love dark haired men, especially with dark eyes - LOVE brown eyes. But icy blues make me melt too. Any eye color really, just intense eyes I'll say. haha.
    Tall is a must! (sorry shorties! I do actually know a short guy who is super cute - if he lost a bit of weight and I wasn't married... lol.)
    Dark skin is sexy, for sure, but I don't have a preference on skin color.
    I like anywhere from super skinny guys to buff, muscular guys. Too much muscle is not attractive to me though, like vein popping muscle. I like big muscle - just not steroids big. lol.
    A good personality can overcome any physical flaws though, if it's a good enough personality. Seriously. :)
  • i love the bad boy look, but the good guy heart
    at least 5'10
    athletic or medium build but not gianormous muscles
    very short well groomed dark hair includes any facial hair
    tattoos are sexy (altho my man has more than i would prefer)
    hate sagging pants or skinny pants on guys
    also hate super tight shirts on guys

    Didn't think I had a type until I met my fiance, then realized he is EXACTLY my type.

    6' or over (this is the one thing physically I knew was my type before meeting him)
    Nice solid arms
    Nice smile
    Guys guy who loves sports, beer, works on cars, fixes things BUT also willing to watch and enjoy doing things that aren't typical guy things
    Looks like a "bad boy" but totally isn't
    Really intelligent and has his **** together
    Makes me laugh
    Laid back and easy going (since I'm not)

    This more or less describes my guy (including a lot more positive qualities I love) - but had I sat down and made a list before meeting him these things would have been on it.
  • I've always had a thing for blonde guys or redheads with straighter noses since I was little lol. It's weird because my youngest brother actually goes for the same type (except in female form :P). Everyone in my family has dark hair and naturally tan skin, so I wonder if I began to like those qualities because it was different than what I was used to? :)

    I think I just have a prefered "silhouette." Tallish (5'11 +), broad shoulders, thin-muscles, kinda rugged.

    I used to say I liked mediterranean, middle eastern, and south american guys, but my bf of 3+ years is german. :laugh:

    I'm much more strict on the personality:
    Must be environmentally concience
    Likes Dogs
    Likes Hiking, Biking (others are a plus)
    Likes spicy food (or at least doesn't complain that everything is spicy)
    Liberal/Socially empathatic

    Tall, rugged, strong, hard-working country boy with a great sense of humor, who likes to have fun, doesn't take life too seriously but knows when to be mature, who respects their Mother. I don't think I am reaching for the stars here :)

    I care way more about personality. They also have to be atheist and very liberal. Could not be with a guy who likes sports or any other typical "man" thing. I could not be with a muscle man, I do not like muscles at all on men. I LOVE curly longer (not past shoulders) thick dark hair and brown eyes, and scruffy looking.

    My husband was all of those things when we started dating 16 years ago, he still is except he is now bald. LOL
  • I sure do- 6 feet tall, brown eyes, shaved head, crooked smile, sexy arms, and currently chopping wood in my back yard, after helping me cook breakfast and do laundry this morning. :love: :love: :love:

    blonde/brunette
    muscular/slender/curvy

    curly/straight/long/short (hair)

    Any eye color
    NO body hair...but must have facial hair
    Prefer a black man, but any hot guy will do
    Must weigh more than me.
    Prefer their legs larger than mine, but this is hard to come by, so I let it slide
    Must have nice arms.
    Must make me laugh.
    Either atheist or non-religious...or at least open minded to the fact that not everyone needs to believe the same
    I like 'em tough yet nice.
  • personality comes first but MUST follow the must - haves

    someone taller then me but not more then 12" taller
    someone who weighs more then me
    any hair color but nothing crazy like pink, purple, etc.
    not so much muscular but strong and able to protect me :smile: don't want a guy thinner then me
    eyes don't matter
    prefer a white guy or even a olive color just not black
    hair on the short side but some guys can just pull off having long hair!
    someone who can make me laugh but also able to be serious at time
    MUST have common sense in his head
    MUST someone non-religious or one who won't push his beliefs upon me

    I'm always attracted to/drawn to guys with a bigger build (tall and wide, but not fat..just...sturdy), light eyes and dark hair. But a winning, engaging personality is key. Also, I can't resist someone who types properly in text messages.

    At least 5' 10"
    Dark or red hair
    eye color doesn't matter
    my favorite body type on a guy is thick but muscular (not too thin and not too cut and definitely not bodybuilder-type. And I don't really dig overly defined abs on a guy. Not sure why...)

    Male-oriented:

    Pretty much big ol' hairy bikers. Generally indifferent to hair/eye colors and race. The taller the better. Typically significantly older than me. :I

    Female-oriented:

    Short, plump and pale.

    Outside of looks, certainly wit, intelligence, articulacy and kindness are terribly important.

    Guys taller than me in 4" heels (I'm 5'7) but I've dated someone as short at 5'2!
    Build: average/muscular-they have to weigh more than me!...arms and a strong back are my "thing" though.
    I like tattoos..
    Race is unimportant but I love dark hair/ eyes and tend to gravitate towards Mediterranean/middle eastern decent
    Someone's who remembers to get my door and knows to walk on the outside. I'm a sucker for a protector.

    5'2" to 5'8"
    Brown or Red hair
    Minimal makeup
    Must have curves (hips)
    GLASSES!!!

    Well then, I'm your perfect type :p

    5'5", currently only wearing blush, hair naturally brown, occasionally red, hips, and glasses. hahahaha

    My type would have to be over 6ft, muscular but not bulky (man, I love muscular backs and (kind of weird) muscular legs). hmmm blue eyes (or green), some sort of runner (soccer player, sprinter etc)

    My type: someone that steals my heart,
    Someone who makes me laugh no matter how silly he looks
    One who writes a simply "I love You" note and slides it in your purse.
    Who is good with his hands ( to fix things around the house and change a tire)

    Yes these men exist...

    Taller than me (since i'm 5'8, I usually only date 5'11 and up)
    I like slender/muscular not too much though just toned
    Dark hair
    Eye color no preference
    I don't really like white guys, and I was mostly attracted to Spanish or black me but my hubby is Filipino.
    Someone who can accept that I believe what I believe and it doesn't make me evil.

    But none of these are set in stone, because I am married now they basically reflect my husband, but of course if the chemistry is right and we just click, I care less about the physical stuff.
