matt doesn’t want to get in trouble by listing one ‘type’ and excluding all the non-type but very hunky guy-type dopers out there
I have several distinct types. One I’m particularly obsessed with right now how was that for a hedge? is what the Japanese - or at least an otaku like me - would call a bishounen: skinny, delicate, feminine, the sort of man you’re more likely to call “beautiful” than “handsome”.
Shoujo animé is covered with them, which makes me very, very happy indeed; for an easier-to-find reference, right now I am totally all about Skids and Harley from Boy Meets Boy.
I’m especially turned on by geeks and/or goths/punks and/or activists and/or sensitive artistic sissies, the sort of boy who looks like he was taunted a lot at school when he was a kid.
Certain kinds of body piercing turn me on no end (tragically, I’ve yet to sleep with a bishounen with any multiplicity of eyebrow ring, tongue stud, tit ring, or belly ring).
I also always make passes at boys who wear glasses.
Colours of hair I find especially beautiful are dirty blonde, mouse-brown, black, blue-green, purple, flame-red, and crimson.
I like European and Latino accents; I love Britboys, French boys, and Québécois boys. I’m also in the process of developing an attraction to Latino boys (pero no machos, sino solamente muy maricones, ¡por supuesto!) Right now, for example, I’m all about a slender and beautiful venezolano refugee by the mellifluous and empyrian name of Miguel Ángel.
Put me down, too, as yet another treasure-trail fetishist.
As for conversation, if you can hold a coherent conversation with me about 1) cities and urbanism 2) linguistics 3) Canadian politics and/or 4) Star Trek, I’m basically happy.
