BUT of course! 
Heh. I like various physical types. When I see a hot guy, I don’t even think whether I have a chance with him… I just like lookin’. You can like looking at the Mona Lisa without needing to bring it home with you.
That said, I’m really all about the short redheaded British punky bois right now 
My brother believes that men value physical beauty more than women. He says that men also value things like personality and brains, but if the physical attraction isn’t there right at the beginning, they’ll pass.
I have no idea how true this is. But I’ve been on dates with men whom I wouldn’t target in a bar. I probably wouldn’t even have described some of them as handsome on the first date. But as I got to know them, I began to appreciate more and more aspects of their physical appearance.
Having said all that, most of the men I’ve dated had dark hair and brown eyes. Can’t go wrong with a nice pair of eyes.
This is something that inspired me to create the thread. I KNEW the description’s of what people found attractive would vary considerably. Outside beauty IS important, but there’s so much range, that most people SHOULD be secure with how they look. I also pointed out that my preferences were subject to change. Nothing can substitute for a great personality.
I was extremely specific because at that time, if you were to ask me to picture the woman of my dreams (physically speaking), that’s how I would describe her. It’s NOT as if I look for women with all of those particular features. Many of those features were characteristics of women I used to have a thing for. I’m sure the next woman I meet that has a significant impact on my heart will add to, or change what I consider my “ideal woman” considerably.
About the ‘runny nose’ thing being “creepy”; I like what I like! I’m happy that I find “real life” aspects of women attractive. I think it’s cute when a woman has the sniffles. If you find it disturbing, oh well! “Stupid”, maybe. “Odd”, yeah!! “Disturbing”, give me a break! :rolleyes:
I like women who snore because I have a heater in my room that makes a lot of noise, and in the summer time I have a difficult time sleeping in a room that’s so quite. Of course, that said, for health reasons I would want someone who snores to get help for it.
I was looking forward to someone making a spin-off thread about what types of men Dopers found pleasing to look at, (hoping there are SOME women who dig men who are short, not because they themselves are short, but just because they’re into guys who can buy children’s cloths and save money! Me being 5’5" and all). I didn’t expect it to be in the Pit!! I’m sorry, I just don’t understand the “pitting”.
Me too! WE MUST BE TWINS!
There’s a look that he gets on his face that makes me melt.
It says to me, ‘I can see into your soul.’
There’s only one person I know who is capable of doing it. I’d do anything to get him to look at me that way.
Doing good now that somebody is paying attention to me.
How you doin’?
I actually don’t like really attractive guys. I get too intimidated by them and end up acting like a freakin’ idiot.
I’ve always been attracted to big, husky guys. Bigger the better.
Of course, most of my X’s are on the smallish side.
Go figure.
Ah, not bad, dude, not bad.
Sigh. I just saw a guy on the bus who evidently believed that 'color-coordinated' meant 'wear them all at once.'No kiidding–me too! We must be twins!
The ladies should check out a military base sometime. Thousands of men who are in shape and seem to fit the descriptions given here.
The married personnel mostly live off base and are off limits anyways. Most of the bachelors live in a barracks, and from what I’ve seen and heard, the crack of dawn isn’t safe so be careful.
I haven’t heard any mention or requirements that a man must look good in a uniform yet.
Taller than I.
The first guy that popped into my match-making mind was Brendan Fraser (Image Here) - but those Hollywood types don’t mingle very often with the hoi polloi.
Too much criteria to get it all in, but using 10 keywords, google came back with this site:
Short-Time Inmates from the California Penal (as opposed to penile) System.
The exact height requirements made it difficult to find Mr. Perfect, but:
Randy Warner Prisoner #E-77569
PO Box 3476
Corcoran, California 93212
Birthdate: 05/02/1962
Release Date: 2003
Physical Description: 6’1, blue eyes, brown hair, athletic build.
May be your inked prints, er prince. Ignore the blue eyes, they may very well have changed to hazel due to the lack of natural light.
Ya know, I read the first half of the OP’s requirements and immediately thought “Sammy Davis Jr.”
Short and black, check. Straight hair, check. Unblemished, check. Almond shaped, dark brown eyes, with long eyelashes, check. Big nose, tight neck, check and check.
Hmm.
Taller than me, but I’m only 5’5" or so. Clean and confident.
Usually not blond, but I have been known to make exceptions. Usually cleanshaven, but I have been known to make exceptions. In fact, the guy I’m currently vaguely interested in (though he’s distant, le sigh) is both blond and bearded, and he looks mightyfine to me.
But mostly I like brown curly hair, like mine oddly enough, and smiling eyes. Doesn’t matter what color. Lanky preferred to muscular or chubby, but again, looks are less important than most things.
Major turnoffs would be grossly overweight individuals (we’re talking larger than me), anyone poorly groomed (you don’t need a crew cut, but you do need to wash that mop once in a while, and trim yer freakin’ beard), those little tiny patches of beard (I want to just reach out and rip!), and being poorly dressed (Wash your T-shirt. Wash your baseball cap once in a while. Do you even have a shirt with buttons?)
But I like a sense of humor and a bright, friendly smile and a quick wit and a great laugh more than all this. Being entertaining and gentlemanly will cover up just about any physical flaws as far as I’m concerned.
