Big, muscly, dominant type men. I am not in the slightest submissive, but there is just something incredibly sexy about the idea of a man that could toss you around like a ragdoll. (and in general, they would want to do things with me that I just don’t do) ---

Military men. I’m a pacifist, but something about the shaved head and fatigues… damn. I’ve dated/hooked up with a few, but only ones that were dissatisfied with the military. Also, skinheads: shaved head, tattoos, does it for me every time. I avoid them, though. ---

Cocky cowboys. Overly egotistical people drive me CRAZY but you give me a tall, broad-shouldered guy on a horse that thinks he is the utmost being in the universe and I am completely transfixed and aroused. Ridiculous! ---

A bit of a snaggletooth gets me interested. Not too major of one, but a little crooked incisor or something in an otherwise straight row of teeth is hot. Also there’s no reason I can think of that I’m attracted to Lady Sovereign, but I am. ---

[QUOTE=Lemur866] And the women saying they like sweaty muscly guys…is this really something think you “should” find disgusting? Really? [/QUOTE] I’m a geek, old goth and occasional gender-bender artist. In other words, I’ve since childhood belonged to groups that _really_ don’t like the stereotypical hunk-of-muscle male. Because, well - the geeks were unathletic and harrassed by the muscle jocks; the goths (who were also mostly geeks) favoured an anemic, Lord Byron beauty ideal; and the gender theorist in me hates the hetero-normative stereotypes. So yes, it goes against all my social conditioning. On the other hand I’m now old enough to not give a damn about what other people think, so I can drool freely. ---

Tattoos are just bits of ink under skin. And everyone has muscles. But when I see a tat on muscled biceps I turn my head and think “Musn’t lick. Nope nope nope.” ---

[QUOTE=jjimm] Another acronym for you: bobfoc. Body off Baywatch, face off Crimewatch. There’s a girl at work like that. Quite short, but in proportion she has a kinda Eva Longoria swimsuit-model knockout bod, amazing tits and a fine curvy ass - but facially she’s quite plain, with a prominent nose - and she permanently has hay fever so her nose is red. I still would though (and she’d probably be grateful for it. Oh dear I am evil). [/QUOTE] Around here they’re called “butterface” as in everything is hot but her face. ---

A scar. A lady with a scar is such a turn on. I think it is like that Navajo thing with Navajo blankets not being alowed to be perfect. To make it right and beautiful, it has to have that flaw. I just think a woman with a scar is so sexy. ---

I’m attracted to big dominant jerk guys, but I know better than to get mixed up with them anymore. I’m attracted to the idea of sex work, whether it be prostitution, stripping or any other sort. I always get the hots for any female acquaintance I find out is bisexual. Not that being bi is distasteful as per the OP, but I don’t identify as bisexual. ---

If we’re talking strictly on a physical level, my ideal man would be some big, bald, burly fugly dude with a broken nose, jailhouse tattoos, scars, and filthy filthy hands. My brain tells me I should be ashamed of this, though, and stick with shy, quiet sexy librarian types [del]like myself[/del]. ---

[QUOTE=Mahna Mahna] Bankers and other finance exec types. I absolutely despise the typical Wall St suit-and-Bluetooth fancy-MBA brokers. I find them shallow at best, amoral at worst, and their fuck-'em-and-chuck-'em attitude about women is a massive turnoff. And dear Og, don’t get me started on the monstrous egos. Still, my knees always get a little weak when I see a hot guy in an expensive suit. It was one of the only perks of working in the financial district for a year back in my younger single days. [/QUOTE] When I see that kind of guy I feel a visceral urge to cave his head in with a broken chunk of concrete and have my way with his women. I find this both distasteful and sexy. Does that count? ---

Um…_ahem_… Dominant womanizers. I don’t have issues with getting into abusive relationships, and I wasn’t abused as a child or anything, I promise! My huband is the sweetest, kindest, most awesome man you would ever hope to find, and I love him fiercely. I’m also loud and full of bravado and get in arguments about women’s rights issues. So, given those two things, I feel a teensy bit guilty that fictional sleezeballs get me all aflutter. It’s just…Ok, quite honestly? I didn’t realize this consciously until I was watching Iron Man and thinking, “When did Robert Downey Jr. get so damn hot?” then I thought, “Oh no. It’s because he’s an asshole with a heart of gold isn’t it? It’s because he screws women and then goes to play with his cars, isn’t it? Also the arms and the hair and the leather jacket. God damn it.” Upon reflection, I realized this has been a long standing trend with movie crushes. Yes, I learned something about my sexuality while watching a superhero movie. I’m such a dork. Also, drunken messy bearded tousle-haired muscley Irishmen with poems in their souls and heartache deep in their eyes… ok, maybe that one makes more sense. slinking off to read some feminist theory now… ---

Pretty fat girls. Pit me if you must, but most fat women are not very attractive, usually because of some proportion issues (one element of their body is significantly larger than the rest) and definitely due to the way they behave (“fat personality”). But on that rare occasion where you see a girl that’s undeniably large, but dresses well, acts confident and even sexy/flirtatious, and is legitimately pretty, it’s boneificent to the max.
