Love, or the capacity for love, is never more genuine and attractive to me then when it is expressed in the pain over losing it.

Seems like there’s a potential there for a really bad feedback loop.

Hehe lots of strange stuff Dopers are into! I feel so boring. I just like men. Men are sexy. Mmm. Arms, hands, body, bum, cock, just men. Men smell nice. All men, all shapes, colours, sizes: all sexy (ok, I’m not attracted to all men, but I could be attracted to any kind of man). Two men? Yes please, especially if they could both be my SO (AKA hottest man on the planet).

I maintain I am theoretically bi, I just never felt anything for a woman. I tried a little, but no dice.

☹ I think I’m too boring for this thread. I don’t like feet, or stinky things like pee. I don’t like one specific thing, unless “men” counts as specific. No specific location, no characters, no clothing, no animals. But men, they’re hot.

Red hair or black hair with pale skin.

Not freckles though… not a fan of the ‘Gingers’ (no souls and all that)

I first heard this term here on the SDMB ([this post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=14642554&postcount=39)), but I like soccer legs on women.

Incidentally, I did a google image search after reading that post, and I don’t think there’s actually that much difference on average between the legs of female soccer and tennis players

Thinness/boniness.  
Lankiness.  
Aquiline or Roman noses.  
Very dark features.  
Facial hair.

Many, many more.

I assume you’re female… lankiness/bony guys with facial hair? Oh why oh why do the unhealthily thin hipster guys with beards get all the girls? :mad:

Oh no, the shirt needs to be filled with a female, and filling her is definitely #1 on the list.

You think straight women have that much panache?

My fetish is “furry.”

What turns me on is intelligence, independence, spirit, gumption, humor, wit, and sass. Oh, lordy, gimme sass!

I know that, I"m just wondering if it’s “I love a woman in an oversize t-shirt…and nothing else.”
