I have a bisexual male friend that likes skinny guys and chubby girls.  
Since I’m curious if that’s common, I’m making this thread.

I’ve got a wider range of heights that are “just fine” in my taste in women; I still strongly prefer that men be close to my own height, but I’m more tolerant of a woman being significantly shorter than me. Other than that, I have a narrower range of what’s attractive in a woman than what’s attractive in a man, so it balances out.

I feel like we had a thread just like this a few months ago…
