Tall women. Really tall. Build doesn’t matter.

I love women in the range of 5’ 5" - 5’ 10’ on the thin side but not too skinny, heavy chested.

Height doesn’t matter much, although I find that taller women (i.e., about my height) fit very nicely. In a perfect world, I’d like slender women without much in the way of a rear, but with a somewhat disproportionately large chest.

</div>

Ideal woman: short (5’2" is perfect), small frame, noticeable and perky but not overly large boobs and a small bottom.

I didn’t realize it until really recently, but shoulders are important to me. I’m not sure how to describe what I like, but “well-defined” probably fits into my definition, and “linebacker” does not.

The type with a brain, hands, a vagina and breasts; anything more specific is nitpicking.

Who’s the first one? Rowr.

Forgot to mention earlier- a dusting of freckles around the nose is _always_ hot.
