im loving the opinions! please keep this thread near the top of the list. this page is great for everyone i think because it truly clears up the stereoype tastes alot of people think guys/girls have and genuinely give a broad spectrum of interests and prefernces which im sure have perhpas encouraged or maybe even emboldened many readers!! :D
Interesting topic here, for the points mentioned above - it's interesting to read peoples true tastes, which usually turn out a far cry from what the media tries to promote. I have some stuff to add too, as well as a story to share.
I've noticed a few people on here discussing personality vs looks and so on. I think for me it's easy to say who I like based on looks alone, and that has nothing to do with personality - I'm just saying biologically who gets a head turn or a double look from me. Personality would only come into play when being around someone and dating them, but if you just want to view a picture? It's different, right? A real relationship would have to take into account many different issues besides just looks anyway.
I chose slim (for girls). I'm not happy to admit it but I have specific tastes and I don't find myself attracted to many types of people, I wish my biological attraction wasn't so snobbish but that's just how it is. I'm attracted to small built girls with young and cute faces.
If I try to imagine myself attracted to guys - Then I'd probably be attracted to a tall guy (with a medium/slim body), because it looks impressive.
Now for a short story. I met a girl once who I knew from the internet, we met up in real-life. When we met and spoke for a while, we found that it was easy to talk openly like friends and that we had totally different tastes. In fact it was so different it was almost comical. She was a large build girl who told me her ideal man looks like this - 'he is very tall, over 6"3 and quite fat/muscled and has a shaven head with a lot of tatoos.' She said she would feel safe/protected with a guy like this.
My looks are about 5"9, and about 120-125 lbs *no tattoos either* so I'm quite slim.
Then I told her I was attracted mostly to girls who are 'short and slim, with a cute, young looking face and small chest.'
I think this story highlights how varied everyones tastes are and how there is hope for all different types of people to be liked by someone :-) which I think is a great thing.
