Things you're supposed to find sexy, but don't

How come the guys who like short hair don’t live near me? A curse upon you all. Where are you people when I need you? Sheesh. I suppose it’s good to know you exist though.

On to the OP: I don’t like muscle-y guys. I’m perfectly happy with normal size, regular looking men. No noticeable muscle at all is necessary to get my attention.

To be clear - I don’t have a problem with reasonably fit, healthy looking guys who happen to have visible muscle. To me, those guys look like they genuinely lead active lives and are fit and strong because of it. But again, I don’t look for that, strength and muscle just aren’t important to me. And anything that goes even a little beyond that description - ugh (no insult intended for any of the Doper males who happen to be super-fit and muscle-y. Just not my thang).

To be honest, I prefer them a little on the scrawny side.

And Grammanaut - seconded.

Now that I think about it - it seems like I don’t like anything that seems* like a guy is trying to impress someone, be it women, other men or just people in general. I don’t care how big, strong, well dressed or rich you are and I find it distasteful when you make a even a medium-sized deal about it.

*I realize not all men do what they do to impress others. This is just my theory about what’s going on in my head that leads me not to be attracted to this stuff when I know many women who definitely are.

I agree with all of the clothing stuff listed thus far. Garters, lingerie, high heels… bleargh. Long hair does it for me though. :slight_smile:

Large breasts. Especially the implant look. Ick

Really muscular men. I prefer my men a bit squishy.

Ditto. It’s there (in mainstream pr0n, anyway) in service of The Rules, one of which is “a woman must always be wearing some article of clothing. If nothing else, shoes. Total nudity is permissible for men only.”

I am also sick to death of the tyrannical reign of the shaved hoohah. I blame the generation of young men who think real music is what comes out of an iPod. If an imitation of reality gets you hotter than reality itself, go get a damn inflatable doll or something.

Out of curiosity, what do you mean by “imitation of reality” in relation to the shaved hoohah?

Wanting it to look like a smooth rubbery sex toy instead of, well, a sexually mature hoohah.

Clean-shaven or naturally bald heads. So many women thinks it’s sexy, but I think touching it is kind of gross- I don’t want to feel like I’m stroking a baby’s bottom when I’m getting my groove on. If the guy was great in all other ways, I’m not saying I wouldn’t be with him because he was bald, but I wouldn’t go gaga over it, either.

I don’t think being turned on by shaved genitals necessarily means you desire an “imitation of reality.” I’m not criticizing what does/doesn’t turn people on, and I’m sure there are people who want their sex partners to be little more than animated sex dolls (or people that shave their genitals in the attempt to look like one) but it’s hard to generalize about such things, IMO.

Sweaty guys. Bleh. My college roomie had a “hunky guy all sweaty” poster and it was disgusting.

Amen. And medium big to huge tits don’t do it for me at all. Neither does large amounts of makeup, or even moderate amounts-if I wanted to date the Pillsbury Dough-Girl I would. Typically ultrafeminine behaviors and standards are a turnoff too. Yes I really prefer the tomboys (not butches, those are even more than a turnoff than the unrepentant femmes).

Me too for tattoos. It is so bad that I can’t continue to look at otherwise hot women with one, especially a big one. Piercings are terrible as well. I am not a fan of big breasts either. It is more about the form and a DD is going to have trouble in that category.

Butts. I’m just not into them. For me to notice a woman’s ass, it has to be a super-perfect one that other guys drool over. Even then, I’m just like “meh, yeah that’s hot.” For me, it’s the hair-boob tandem that turns me on the most. Long hair flowing over perky breasts…mmm. Big, well-toned ass…eh…ok, sure.

Another vote for non-ear piercings, shaved pubic hair.

I hate tats on women also, unless it’s maybe one small cute tattoo.
I don’t think Lesbian sex is all that hot either- well, for them sure, but not for a dude.

To counter others here-I like: heels, moderately big boobs, long hair (unless the girl is petite, where a pixie does look cute), garters, stockings, etc.

Ciao to twiggyness. I miss the 50’s poster girls with some curves. These days you have to worry about putting your eye out on a hip bone. Padding, folks, is a great thing.

I can’t stand short, stubbly facial hair on guys (as an example, Colin Farrell seems to sport this look a lot). Either grow a beard, or shave. The five o’clock shadow thing just does not do it for me. I don’t especially like full facial hair, either, but advanced stubble just looks lame.

And I absolutely abhor soul patches. Uggghhh.

Body builders. This bikini clad guy does absolutely nothing for me and in fact looks almost animalistic, while THIS PROBABY NOT WORK SAFE PICTURE of John Mayer in a Borat thong is a body I consider really really hot- slim but with some meat-on-the-bones and toned (and above all it’s John Mayer’s ;)). It’s not just the Captain Steroid type body either- I like tone, but can’t stand “overkill”- I prefer “guy next door”. I think Brendan Fraser is a lot hotter when he’s “guy who obviously works out” than when he’s super buff, or Gerard Butler- fit but not gym god than Gerard Butler- ripped. (So do Fraser and Butler incidentally- both have said in interviews they hate working out beyond ‘health and tone’, especially the high protein diets, but their paychecks sometimes require it.)

Possible exception: Christopher Gorham of UGLY BETTY- who knew what the nerdy accountant had under his pocket liners .

Ah, and penises. Even though I’m gay, I’ve never understood phallic obsession. It’s my least favorite part of the anatomy (at least aesthetically, not in practice :wink: ). I’m waaaaaaay more face/butt/legs/arms/tummy- I’ve only seen one penis that’s ever made me say “Hmmm… that is absolutely attractive”, but it was on a nude model on whom a cluster of boils probably would have looked attractive.

It’s not so much something you see everyday in women, but it seems to be all the rage in pron these days…ass to mouth.

I mean seriously, WHY is that supposed to be “sexy”? It shows up EVERYWHERE, too. Even in what I think is an innocent video of a girl by herself with just her fingers and a toy, she sticks everything she has up the butt, then in her mouth.

Blech.
