Oh, Auto, my insomniac brother. Let me tell you what I go through. My whole life I’ve had sort of a thing for Asians, ever since I watched Karate Kid Part II when I was like 6. My girlfriend is Asian and my love of Asian females is well known to my friends. And then, sometimes, I’ll see one of those girls with those hardcore Scottish/Irish features - straight nose that comes to a point, strong chin, freckles, dirty-blonde hair, and I’ll think, “you know what, I really think these girls are the sexiest.” And then I’ll see a dark Greek/Italian/Jewish girl, like the woman who plays Meadow Soprano, and I’ll think, “forget about all those other girls, THIS is where it’s at!” And so on and so forth!
Come to think of it, the looks I described don’t seem to be that common, at least from what I’ve seen. Maybe that’s it. Or I’m just living in the wrong place.
I was thinking about it, and it’s not that common here either. Pale, blue or green eyes. Hair color, to me, is immaterial, although of course I like gingers. Freckles are adorable (almost makes me want to go get sunburned because I definitely want more freckles, but no).
From what I see walking down the street, most people are tan or tan-ish, and most seem to want to be tanner (which I do not get at all). Most have brown eyes. (Although most of my friends have blue/green eyes, I can only think of a handful who don’t, but we all come from Irish or Scottish stock) Most have brown hair.
So maybe we just like the unusual, and you and I go for the other end of the spectrum. How often do you hear a guy describe his ideal woman as a medium-skinned brown-eyed brunette? Or maybe I am narcissistic, and want someone just like me.
