That link doesn’t seem to work in Chrome, but if the link isn’t a Rickroll, she’s a bit severe for my tastes. She may have been kindly to the children, but she was a bit too bossy with adults.
Tight, tight jeans. Probably shops at Urban Outfitters. Listens to good music. Likes to drink and smoke. Swears. Short hair. Piercings, a tattoo perhaps. Smart, sharp. Loves sex.
She ain’t real, doe.
ETA: oh, I’m one of those tall skinny guys that wishes this message board reflected the opinions of those immediately around him.
Tall (over 6 feet)
Athletic and well built, but not freakishly so (wide shoulders are a huge plus)
Cute face (there are many cute faces, I can’t pick specific characteristics)
Any colour hair except bright red
Tattoos are fine, excessive tattooing is not
Funny and can understand my sense of humour
Open minded
Reads for pleasure
I’m a big and tall girl, so I like men that can make me feel dainty in comparison. Men shorter and much thinner than me make me feel like an ogre.
Me: shortish (5’ 8"), athletic, early 30s and a complete artiste (complete with moodiness and ridiculous and random flights of fancy).
Her: breathing.
Actually, petite women on the serious side and geek factor turned up to 11 have always done it for me. I have a friend that is so into video games it makes me look like I’ve just recently discovered Pac-Man. It is sooooo hot… unfortunately she’s completely committed to her college sweetheart, so no go. Brunette and slender also will get my attention, as will glasses. I love glasses on a woman. Mmm.
Gotta be way beyond INTELLIGENT (no smartasses need apply), and FUNNY AS HELL (not humor used to mask latent passive-aggressive tendencies). I prefer hair longer than mine, and always have. Dimples are cute, too!
Physical: Short dark hair, medium frame/height, nice eyes, and a good smile can make me melt (or blush, which seems to happen more often._ I prefer non-scruffy guys as I’ve noticed that my skin turns red and itchy if I mess around with someone with a scruffy face for too long.
Character: I like guys who are open to trying new things, laid back and not high maintenance, independent and mature. I’m a bit of a geek so I like guys who I can play games with (but whose life doesn’t revolve entirely around games.) Bonus points if they’re into languages.
Appearance is not important. However, a “girl next door” look would earn bonus points…
On the other hand, anyone who is excessively concerned about her appearance is a big turn off.
Must be emotionally secure and confident in herself. My last girlfriend for some reasons doesn’t feel that she can accomplish anything, and basically needs a lot of reassurances. This gets very tiring after a while.
Bonus points if she enjoys spending time outdoor. I enjoy hiking and biking when I have the chance.
Oh, I so wish this place has been around when I was in high school and university. All these people with their different preferences, including ‘smart’, ‘geeky’ and ‘bad teeth’… it would have done wonders for my self-confidence then.
Me: 29, female, single, fat brunette curlyheaded geek with glasses.
Looking for a guy who is:
Older than me, at least a little. I know a guy I’d totally ask out if he wasn’t six years younger than I am. I feel like Mrs. Robinson, completely irrationally.
Dark hair, preferably.
Devastatingly intelligent.
Wickedly funny but not a cynical bastard. Bill Hicks was funny but I wouldn’t want to date him. I like to actually smile unironically once in a while.
Gentlemanly: at least pretend not to be a lech sometimes, mkay?
Thin and wiry is good. Chubby is good. Well-groomed is best: you can be friggin’ Hugh Jackman with a little James Purefoy sprinkled on top for good measure, but if you can’t wash your hair I don’t want to deal with you.
Not too good looking. If Hugh Jackman really did walk up to me and say “Ninja, my dear, you are the light of my life and the joy of my desiring. Let’s screw like bunnies” I would stare at my feet and shuffle around. Blatantly handsome is intimidating and tongue-twisting. I’m always weirded out when handsome men are sweet to me: it makes me wonder what they want, because I know they can’t possibly be attracted to me.
Very important: must be geeky or at least geek-tolerant. I play video games and prance around in silly costumes and quote Shakespeare and watch scifi movies. I will watch football with you if you will come see the next Harry Potter movie with me.
