I'm currently working on the designs of several characters for a personal project I have and I'm currently stuck on the design of one of the characters. This character is supposed to be the lord of a city and he's meant to be handsome but due to my own sexuality, I'm not sure what constitutes attractive to women.

Now you might say that what this or that person finds attractive is subjective and so if I get someone's opinion then it's just their own personal view on this but that's actually even more helpful because I want him to be atypically attractive.

This thread could also create an interesting discussion on what men and women find attractive (So long as people stay civil...) so that would be a boon as well. So, can you help me?

Please say slightly over weight men with shabby facial hair. Please say slightly over weight men with shabby facial hair...

Honestly I like more feminine men. The sort that you find being the sub in the yaoi you find in dark corners of the internet like DeviantArt. No surprise that I tend to be more physically dominant in the relationship with men as well. I find a man that can open himself to a woman to be quite attractive, though thats probably due to most guys having a problem doing that.
God damn it!

Well you know there's more than one way to open yourself up to a woman...
You're right.

Do you prefer a cut along the spine, that opens up a good view of the lungs, or just the standard Bowel Opening cut?

Unless you mean the other kind of opening up, in which case, God damn it!

Generally, slim guys with a little bit of muscle, but not a lot.
Also, dudes that are quite pretty face-wise, and don't have facial hair.

Congrats on your face.

Or, y'know, Dante from DMC, he's cute. (Old Dante, New Dante reminds me of the Scout from TF2).

Come play with us. Come play with us. It won't cost you a thing.

Free!


YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
No! I refuse! You already ruined Yu-Gi-Oh in my youth with Kaiba having a Blue Eyes White Dildo up his butt while having sex with Joey in a dog suit! You won't ruin my adulthood too!

I like more feminine guys too, that's not just limited to looks, but also mannerism and personal expression. Nothing is worse than a guy who pulls macho "I'm the manliest man!" bullshit. I mean by this a guy who can be comfortable in a skirt, or dress, or while wearing make up, but still be himself. Though not limited to that either... Having a traditionally interests, or mannerisms are totally attractive, so long as the guy isn't playing such things up to the point of being obnoxious.

Well toned is a plus, but not to the point of being too muscular, like above fit... Bulky muscle is just as bad as being too fat... That said, I like flabby and rotund guys, so long as they're not so fat it's gross. Like an Orson Wells, or Alfred Hitchcock build is acceptable but someone like Michael Moore is way over the line. Though it matters how well they wear it too, for example Gabriel Iglesias is kinda cute to me, where as Ralphie May just wears it badly. Like John Goodman, I find him somewhat attractive, Bruce Vilanch is just horrifying. Arnold Schwarchenegger in Terminator was about the peak of muscle bulk for me, at the peak of his body building, he was gross.

So basically a sexy guy to me is not fat or muscle bound to extremes, but can push the limits, so long as it fits him. He's comfortable with his gender identity and sexuality to the point where wearing a skirt, or hugging another guy doesn't make him freak out. Not a victim of plastic surgery to the point where he looks like a botched Ken doll. Etc...

Though ideally I like a guy who can pass for and function as a girl the most, but I'm also a little odd.

Sometimes I just don't understand women...
Hahahaha, whoops. That's supposed to say not a lot.
I'll fix it.

But yeah, to avoid low content, I'm not a girl who likes a lot of bulk. I once knew a guy who was training to be a bodybuilder who had a crush on me. He was an okay guy, but just totally not my type romantically.

While I am not a woman, I think I should point out that if you're attempting to appeal to a wide audience with your game; bear in mind that there a lot of outliers on the Escapist.

While I am sure that a lot of women also like effeminate men outside of here, there seems to be a general perception that men should be more like men, and many women prefer that.

Nobody wishes for the emotionally stunted macho meathead, but the man who is protective, self-assured and "larger-than-life" is something a lot of women long for, I daresay.

Outliers of what? Being women?

I'm not offended or anything, I'm not even one of the women who likes particularly feminine guys, that just sounded odd to me.

OT: Oh you know who else is hot? Kit Harrington. Tom Hiddleston too.

Yep... I think Raven in the sexiest man in the entire Tales of franchise, but everyone else seems to like the long haired bishonen characters...

Outliers in their preference...

Yeah I haven't a clue about Tales nor about Raven, so I'll take your word for it.

Fair enough. Ladies of the Escapist just like the weird stuff.

I googled him, he's cute. But I also like the long haired bishonen guys.
