Dating Preferences?

[EcHoFiiVe]

Just wondering what people's preferences are when dating. And please refrain from posting the more graphic fetish stuff lol. I am talking racial wise, age wise, etc. I personally am very attracted to cute asian girls for some reason. I usually look for someone who is smart enough to hold a decent conversation without being disinterested the second I bring up a certain book or something. I generally try to avoid people who are ludicrously focused on school because I feel over shadowed by their need to get 95+ on every test, which I can respect, but its not for me. Age wise I will not date past a one year age difference older or younger. People say my taste in girls is pretty strange since I am italian primarily and people usually consider me a complete soccer jock, but oh well.

+/- 1 year? How old are you? That could make sense if you are like 15 I guess.

I'm 28 and +/- 5 years is pretty much an okay range. I like fit, but generally svelte women, and yes, conversability is a must. Oh, and Hobbies.

Red hair is a plus, but doesn't override the other things. Oh, and honesty. Honesty is a HUGE + in my book. I've had too many romantic and non-romantic relationships with people there were dishonest with others, or themselves. THEY. NEVER. WORK.

there is a theory: half your age + 7 years: ie you=28=14+7=21-minimum. cant remember where i heard it first. makes some sense.
for me, i dont care. i have a bit of an attraction towards brown/blue eyes and brown hair. average build (not stickpeople but not fat ones), no more than 2 inches taller than me (i'm only 5"3), and you may notice i have been gender-ambiguous. mainly girls, but some guys (not the big ones, ones like Andy Six).

my preference is them being a little older, coloured hair either shouder length, or really really long , ethnicity is not an issue, but looking at track record Caucasian. a little smaller then me is a bonus aswel but i dont mind taller.
personality wise, fun, smart and talkative

I don't find black women attractive for osme reason. Red hair, lip piercing, kinda chubby, personality wise, erm, happy and fun, Simple tastes.

lets see... 18-28 years old, light skin with freckles preferred, piercings tatoos and such evaluated per person and per piece (my ex was hot until she got a horse head tattooed onto her back), preference to larger breasts around the C-DD range though smaller is accepted. No blonds, no brown, hazel or dark eyes (I accept green and blue only for breeding purposes)

Personality is mostly the key to things though, I need someone spontaneous, attentive, affectionate with a generally positive attitude. If I hear bagpipes in the distance and I want to go check it out I expect her to be just as curious/eager, if not then I can go alone and use the time to debate whether or not I keep her around.

For ideas of whom I would go after, the actress Kim Director, and Spricket from youtube.

I actually have a thing for smaller women. Shorter than me, with a thin or athletic build, short or long hair, it doesn't matter. I've only ever dated white girls since my first gf, who was Cuban. Now, I'm dating a shoulder length brown wavy haired, crystal blue eyed German girl, who's about 5'5" (I'm 6'0") and is thin, but in a healthy way, you can't see her ribs or anything and she none of those eating disorders that everyone seems to think that all girls have. >.>

I like girls that are smart, funny, not easily offended, willing to stand up for themselves, and caring. I actually prefer smaller breasts, but I suppose that goes with the whole smaller women thing. Her being able to talk about pretty much anything is a must. I've talked to my gf about anything from whether people are born gay, to adoption, abortion, sex, children's names, and a great many other things. Sure, we have our disagreements, but nothing that's so glaring that it would get in the way of our relationship.

Probably a man around 22-30ish age wise. I've mostly been with white guys of various flavors, but I'm not opposed to men of other racial or ethnic groups (Except the Dutch!). Someone mature and responsible but still fun. Larger than me (not a hard task), broad shoulders are a plus. Someone outgoing and spontaneous in order to counterbalance my homebody nature would be nice. No crazies or anyone who uses hard drugs.

I like dark haired girls and i usually avoid the rediculously skinny ones. Mostly on the basis that i want a woman who i wont break when i take her out of the wrapper. Being well over the 200lb mark and being called "skinny" ive always been worried about hurting girls.
I have never dated a girl who is younger than me this isnt because of any specific search criteria, its just never happened, though i do prefer girls who can behave a little bit more responsibly.
The only real deal breaker for me, besides the obvious toxic personality or has given up on her appearance issues is can she be mature about sex, and i cant stand it when a girl calls up her friends the day after with anatomical details, although i am intrigued by the seemingly uniform yet overly flattering measurements that almost all girls seem to use.

I like mine non-human. Preferably with exoskeletons.

 

[smearyllama]

Not entirely axe-crazy, or frothing at the mouth is good.

I like a little bit of crazy, but normal crazy, not "If you don't marry me I'll cut off of your face and make it into a pair of underpants" insane.

I guess being human is important, too.
Not a big fan of the whole trampoline-dating thing that's going on right now.
No inanimate objects, please.

Erm I don't know how to write a response to this without it sounding like im on Eharmony or somthing... ugh.

I like intelligent men I had a massive crush on sherlock holmes when I was little (lol) I don't like muscly men and I'm not really that hung up on looks. I really dig the biker/bad guy thing which hasn't really served me well :/ Despite being a complete disney princess in tastes and behaviour I'm more likely to run off with the evil wizard than prince charming is I think what I'm trying to say...

 

[Ladette]

Female and not ugly are a good start. Being able to talk to each other and get along comes next. Willing to be patient with me, I want commitment but i'm terrified of it. Willing to give me space when I want it and talk to me when I need it.

After that i'm open to pretty much anything. Lucky for me i've found someone who fills all my criteria and more.

Tall, not thin, thanks.
