If I were to build one from scratch: Deep red hair. Long and with some body, but not overly styled. Pointy ears like a Vulcan’s. Trill spots like a…well, trill. Very pale skin. Very slender, soft Asian face with a somewhat-pointy nose. Thick lips but not _too_ thick. Green eyes. Breasts just slightly larger than average for her size. She’d be around 5’3" and be slightly thicker than the Hollywood ideal. I also appreciate a killer set of legs but I’m not quite sure how I’d describe them. I know them when I see them. ---

Ohhh, off the top of my head I’d have to say; Dark hair, little longer than shoulder length, Blue eyes, Slightly chubby perhaps, an ass you can grab 😉 Cute face with a nice smile. Met a girl like that too, wish I could bump into her again… ---

I have yet to find a description that matches me at all. Of course, we know what that means…🙂 ---

Girly here. Hmmmm. Girls. Long hair that gets bundled up at the back of her neck and looks soo sloppy-cute. Big, pretty eyes. I’m a total sucker for those pretty eyes. Pointy chin. Pale skin, little freckles over her nose are good. any hair color is good, as long as it is mostly natural. I am partial to wavy brunettes. Long neck. Small hands. She doesnt have to be particularily femme, just herself. An expressive personality would be perfect. A girl who is comfortable in her skin. Nice breasts are a plus, be they large or small. ---

Damn, even more competition for the infinitesimally small pool of decent, dateable women :mad: Us straight white males just can’t win anymore, can we? ☹ (OK, so the above post is not particularly serious… today the News reported that there were 86 single males to every 100 females in New York City - however, I am positive they were surveying the Eldery housing complexes only) ---

I like beautiful skin. Some woman have skin that just shines and I’m not sure why. If it’s makeup, please don’t ruin it for me. I should be clear that I am not a fan of artifial tans. I also like a nice flat tummy. ---

Pale complextion and dark features are my big kick. And hips. HIPS, hips hips!!! Love em! A girl with a not-too-slender waist and huge hips will get me on my knees faster than a club to the kneecap. And along with big hips are big, smooth thighs. Mmmmm… Breasts are nice, but for me, size really doesn’t mean all that much. Sure, a pair of large breasts will cause me to stare, but I actually prefer small breasts. My ex is an A cup, if that even, and her breasts are the most perfect breasts I’ve ever seen. Absoulutely wonderful! **Big** fan of the itty bitties. I’m a sucker for straight hair. Prefereably dark hair matched with dark eyes; length depends on the face. Short or long, if it works with her features, I don’t really care, so long as there’s enough to run my fingers threw. As someone else pointed out…curves, curves, curves! I love a woman with that classic 40’s pin-up figure! You don’t see them too often anymore, but when you do…YOWZA! ---

\*\* El Elvis Rojo\*\*, you’ve described me almost perfectly, except I have big boobs and tanned skin. I’ve never met a man who likes my big hips. Please tell me you’re not married. 🙂 ---

She should be small, with reddish-brown fur, a long, flexible snout, and a cute, bristly tail. And six nipples. ---

Hmm… were I to design the perfect woman… really, there are two separate classes for me. There’s the cute girl type, which takes the form of short, natural light redhead, green or blue eyes, sweet round jaw and a soft little mouth. Then, the beautiful woman type… skin tone doesn’t matter, but with long, full dark hair (or dark red hair if she is pale), strong body with lots of curves, and overweight is not a problem as long as she’s not a mess. Green eyes, though, I love those green eyes. Helps that I have them. 🙂 A big part of attractiveness for me is hygiene. Too many otherwise attractive females ruin it for me by having greasy hair, or smelly clothes, or scratching at themselves in public. Be ladylike! ---

[half-remembered Steve Martin gag] I like a woman with a head on her shoulders. I hate necks. When I go with my woman to a fancy restaurant, every head turns. Except hers! She has no neck! [/half-remembered Steve Martin gag] ---
