Shallowness Abounds

[Ragsnstitches]

Aw Christ I do that too.

Whenever one of the forum regulars swaps out their avatar my brain goes through a very awkward and clunky gear shift. It's as if a workmate were to turn up one day with a different face.

Oh, and don't even get me started on that one guy who had a photo of Ellen Paige as his avatar.

Does it make you sad that I think of you as a curmudgeonly Orc, old chum?

It's funny that you say it like that... reading your posts in the "Feminists get outta here" thread (or whatever it was called), I couldn't help but picture Agent Smith (though now it's Gregory House) getting verbally handled by a hilarious looking fish.

I think I need to go outside more.

OP: Like Zhukov, I don't seem to have a particular standard I work with. Unlike Zhukov I don't have much a relationship history to cross reference, but my browsers porn history is QUITE varied if I do say so myself.

I love small and tall, slim and chunky, busty and flat, shapely and dainty, athletic and lazy. I like the entire spectrum of natural hair colors with a preference for Darker hair colors, but I'm particularly drawn to red heads. Whether they are all dolled up or "behind the scenes" doesn't matter much to me... I appreciate a person who works on their image as much as someone confident as their natural image.

I have a preference for hair downstairs... though I prefer it kempt rather then rugged. Shaved is a mixed bag as for some girls it looks... well, painful.

With the few experiences I have had with relationships, I find the face is vitally important to me... sexual appetite is easily satiated, and while the main event physically exhilarating, to me the tender moment afterwards is more important to cement the good feels. So when it comes to faces I'm more critical then usual, with dental hygiene being a real make or break for me.

That's about as shallow as I get when it comes to attractiveness. I find myself looking for personalities first and looks second. Generally I become attracted to people who I come to respect and like. I just have to hope the feeling is mutual as I feel dejected when I'm rejected which sucks all the balls

Scottish accent

Im a scottish guy and I always get loads of attention for my accent. Women love it and my gay friends love it too. Sometimes its more of a blessing and more of a curse when you become a sexualised parrot "can you say [insert stupid phrase]...OMG that is so hot". Then they try to imitate it

I don't know what it is, but there is just something about the scottish accent that makes it so much more listenable than the home counties accents I'm used to. I haven't heard it much outside of a few trips to scotland, sadly. I'll happily look over any flaws in a lady if she's got an accent I like.
The one time I met a Swedish person was on work experience, where I was assigned to help her for an afternoon. Didn't get much work done in that time.

I prefer men to be my height or a little bit shorter. I really like a bit of stubble, but a proper beard is punishable by death massive turn-off. I want hair below or at shoulder length, but that's not much of a deal breaker given that mine reaches almost halfway down my spine. I don't care about build or mass as long as it isn't unhealthy looking.

For girls I have less of an opinion. Blonde, average height, healthy build. If it isn't obvious, I have less experience with this gender.

That reminds me! I forgot to give out your prize!

Woah woah woah woah woah, since when was this an award?

 

[Vendor-Lazarus]

Tomboys. I really like Tomboys.

I'm not very good at describing things, but I'll give it a go.
Small breasts that just about fits in the hand. Or less, even flat wouldn't really bother me since I'm not attracted to them.
Butts are my main body go-to point (and faces), and I would want them small and firm.
Not starving, but slim or athletic would be nice. Everything between anorexic and really chubby is acceptable.
Hair color doesn't really matter. Slight preference for redheads. Preferably cut short, really short, but then again long hair is okay as well.
Slight preference for green eyes, though everything else is fine. I've even dated a girl with one blue and one brown.
I can't really think of anything else..hmm..Oh, wait, yes.
Cute. She have to be cute. Some slight rounded features. "Popular" beauty stereotypes of hard angles and cold stares do nothing for me. I think "beautiful" people look rather plain actually.
Right, almost forgot height. Silly me.
Ideally, about the same as me (165cm). Could go taller, though preferably smaller.
Forgot to mention something.
I would very much prefer a person that doesn't use (much) products. Or shaves.
Had to add that 'much' in there. Not likely to find anyone otherwise. ,)
Didn't mention skin color. Preferably pale, very pale. Everything else is acceptable.

Looks like it's Irish or Scottish for me as well.

Pre-post edit: removed any mention of turn offs.
Post-post edit: products & skin

 

[Davey Woo]

Slim, pale-skinned, green-eyed redhead. I don't really have a hairstyle preference, long and flowing or shorter hairstyles are equally nice, none of that medium length nonsense.

 

[GeneralFungi]

I like my fellas with a little bit of weight. Not exactly fat, but I enjoy a middling to large build. I do enjoy muscle, but I do not need perfectly sculpted abs or anything, just something somewhat firm. Flab isn't a huge turn off for me as long as long as it doesn't shoot out of the gut. I'm not usually picky on height, but I do enjoy guys who are taller then me. (I'm 5"7' for reference).

As for hair the plain and simple short cut is acceptable, but some guys wear their hair grown out really well. You find the right guy who can wear a pony tail and I can't help but swoon. Body hair isn't a turn off, just as long as it doesn't give me carpet burns if I try to hug them. Facial hair is another thing that can be a big turn on if the person goes a little wild with it. Goatees in particular. People who take no effort in trimming themselves are kind of a big turn off though. If you can't be bothered to keep it clean and under control then it's better you get rid of it.

Hair color I have no preference in, but I do enjoy a nice tan skin tone. Eye color isn't a factor, but I am attracted to men with deeper eyes. Deep blue, deep green, deep brown. Just an intense color I suppose. Basically, many of the things I want in a man are masculine features that I didn't inherit being the short, skinny dude that I turned out to be. I am overly proud of my dark beard with a touch of ginger hair though. I've been experimenting with what I want to do with it.

So a quick breakdown: Twinks are hit and miss, Otters are almost always great, and Bears are something that my taste for kind of switches on and off.

 

[Andy Shandy]

Redheads. :3 Although, not actual red, more orange.

Other than that I just don't want her to be a stick. Oh, and her boobs have to be appropriately-sized for her person. Looks a bit weird if they have airbags when they're about 5 foot and weigh 7 stone, for example.

Fake tan is a definite no-no too. If anything, I prefer them pale.

Certain accents are always nice too. Irish, Welsh and certain parts of England in particular. American and other parts of England aren't turn offs per se but they don't add anything.

 

[NinjaDeathSlap]

I don't know whether it speaks of broad tastes or just low standards, but I find many differing colours/body types/facial features equally attractive. So long as everything is reasonably in proportion with everything else (there was a girl in school once who was about 5'1" but with F-cup breasts and just... eww, no) it largely doesn't matter if it's big or small, dark or pale etc...

I'd say I'm on average more of a breasts man than an arse man, but even then a nice arse trumps a so-so rack.

The only definite No that I can think of off the top of my head is large, hooked noses. Not too keen on a over-abundance of piercings (and to a lesser extent tattoos) but I like the odd few.

Now, I may be bending the rules and straying close to talking about personality here, but there are certain... I guess I'd call them 'traits' that I do find markedly attractive. Beliefs/intelligence levels, and most preferences aside, I really like 'fun' women, who laugh and smile easily, who love to dance, who aren't so concerned with keeping up appearances around men (look, you're gonna have to fart in my company at some point, might as well make the best of it ), and who, to be frank, like to mix it up and make a lot of noise in the bedroom. ;D

In comparison to that, I really don't have a lot of time for aloof, brooding hipster types or shy doormats, no matter what they look like.

That's so poetic, really brought a tear to my eye.

Looks like all of that creative writing is paying off, eh?

If you'd prefer, I could say that a toned, curvaceous rump surpasses a limp, doughy, flat-nippled bust, the leagues to which each stir my aching loins?

You'd like that, wouldn't you?

I... I need an adult?

Listen, boyo, you keep your aching loins away from me, y'hear? XD

 

[BarbaricGoose]

I like my women to be.... thin-ish. Rather, not super overweight. I think weight is pretty much the only thing that can make someone unattractive. I have never, in my life, seen someone and thought "I will never be physically attracted to that person." If I'm not immediately attracted to them, it's always been because they're pretty overweight. I don't think anyone is ugly, and I think that term gets thrown around too much; not unlike "Hate."

Some extra baggage is fine, don't get me wrong. And let's be clear: I don't expect my women to look like Christina Hendricks any more than I expected them to look like some super slim Victoria's Secret model. I just want them to be in the normal weight range. (Although I'm not opposed to dating a Victoria's Secret model or Christina Hendricks.)

That's pretty much it; I like normal women.

Green eyes, too. The lady dentist who did my root canal had green eyes. Good experience.

Disclaimer: This isn't me hitting on the OP, just nothing more than a coincidence... but I really like Irish girls. Main reason being the accent (hell, the Celts and the Gaels do it for me, really)..

Am I not Irish enough? XD

Haha, you're plenty Irish enough, but you'd need to dye your hair red too . Maybe if we stick you and Emilee in a cloning vat together come next Escapism...

So basically Leanne is just Emilee 2.0? WHY AM I NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU? Are you forgetting you're seeing ME TOMORROW? You're SLEEPING IN THE SAME ROOM AS ME. I'm gonna molest you to death.

 

[Ten Foot Bunny]

I'm not sure what it means, but I like girls who are kind of built similar to me: pale; skinny; tall; blue eyes; and long hair that's red, brown or black (yes, I naturally have all three colors, but predominantly red). And I've always wanted to date another lefty, but that's never happened. No surprise there really. lol

Thankfully it's not at all hard to find girls who have chests that look like they're adorned with breasts, which is, sadly, not what I look like. I'm about as stacked as a skinny boy.

And though I BARELY have any interest in guys, I suppose my "type" is taller than me (preferably 6'2" or higher so they're measurably taller than me when I'm not barefoot); bearded; not muscular but also not too thin or portly; pale; blue eyes, and short hair. I'm also a sucker for dyed hair and, yes, fauxhauks. Basically, like Rhett from one of my fave YouTube channels, Good Mythical Morning. He doesn't have dyed hair though. And he's married, which is something I'd NEVER go for in a million years.

 

[Vigormortis]

Uh...can I go with undetermined? Because listing "many" seems pointless.

I mean, I've dated and/or have been attracted to any variety of physiques. Tall to short, slim to chunky, well endowed to not so, blonde to brunette, long hair to short hair, etc.

I will admit to a certain affinity for redheads with glasses, though. So I guess we can go with that.

 

[username sucks]

Hmm... I still don't have much (any) experience, but I think I have a pretty good idea of what I like in a guy.

Most builds are good, but I don't care too much for extremely skinny, fat, or muscular dudes. Porn star type bodies like twinks, bears, otters, or whatever don't really do much more for me than an ordinary person. Body hair is fine as long as it's not a jungle, but shaved is good too. I think I'd prefer shorter guys though, but that may just be because I love towering over everyone. Being tall is pretty awesome.

As for the face, again I would say that I don't like anything specific. Beards, sideburns, goatees, or clean shaven faces are all good to me, as are most facial structures or whatever you want to call it. However, for some reason or another I don't like mustaches without any other facial hair going with it. Hair can be long, short, blonde, black, straight, curly, or whatever. I don't care too much, again they all look good to me. I do like blue eyes though.

I guess I could have said that by just saying "I like dudes in general", but whatever. That's about it.

Lol, you're both awesome (like an awesome possum)! But that's why combining you both would make something even more awesome, like how eggs and bacon are both great on their own, but nothing beats a bacon and egg sandwich together (with lots of brown sauce...). Damn, I'm hungry... what were we talking about, again?

 

[FlatCat]

What do you find attractive in the opposite/same sex? I don't want any of this 'personality' or 'intelligence' bullshit, I want the physical things that make you think 'phwoar, yes please.'

I'm a bi guy. I am not attracted to androgynous people. I like very iconic, manly men. I like very iconic, feminine women. I'm a top but even when I'm with a guy I like the guy to be... manly. Big, strong, muscular.

When I'm with a woman I like her to be thin, lithe, feminine.

I've pretty much gotten what I want in life.

 

[Rebel_Raven]

Bangs. Just something about bangs. Especially Hime cut, and page boys, and the sort. Seeing a ton of forehead is kinda a turnoff, so bangs help remedy it.

I'd say I'd like gigantic boobs, and believe me, they help, but they're not a necessity.
