What is 'your type'?
I'm partial to nerdy guys. Yeah, I like to look at other types, but nerdy guys are my preference. (Which is why I married Paul. He's my uber-nerd.)

I only announced it in the GLBT forum, though, so you're not really out of the loop. ;)

You announced in the Lounge that it would be happening, unless I'm really psychic. Congrats again, four weeks late, regardless.

If a guy is really smart, sweet, funny, and not too hairy, I don't really care about much else.

8. I like bad boys.
I dated them, but had the good sense not to marry one.

Both of my husbands have been gentle, quiet thinkers rather than rugged macho types.

Also partial to dark or black hair and fair skin, with blue eyes. And as for me, I find the hairiness to be manly and attractive. Not that unhairy is unattractive, I just prefer the fuzziness. I like stubble, bushy eyebrows, fuzzy legs, etc... oh and nice... definitely not into bad boys. (Well ok, they're fun to flirt with, but that's it.)

Charisma Carpenter
Alyssa Milano

We will be watching television and we will see a cute brunette and my wife will say, "Oh, she is DEFINITELY" your type!"

Thankfully my wife is also a brunette...

33. I end up liking guys who I never thought would be "my type".
Edited on Wed Apr-28-10 02:20 PM by tango-tee
By that I mean everyone has a picture in mind of someone who really trips his/her trigger. Tall, dark, handsome, etc. Most of those trigger-tripping experiences - for me - might have been explosive but were short-lived. All seemed perfect from the outside looking in. And that was it.

As the years have gone by, I've realized what attracts me most is a sort of dry sense of humor, particularly the kind that's a little "off". Perhaps because I'm a little "off" myself. A way with words, being able to share those intimate jokes and innuendoes that make everyday life and problems seem not so deadly serious, and which put that little sparkle in both of our eyes. Compassion, kindness and intelligence. Integrity.

To enjoy being with him enough to not sweat the small shit.

58. pretty open to different physical things
but there are things which get my attention. I tend to like androgyny in both men and women, and someone with a strong sense of individuality and creativity. I often like short or curly hair, but it's not a deal maker/breaker. It's largely about personality to me - if someone is totally hot but an assmunch, no thanks.

61. "First of all, he's too humble to know he's perfect..."


That's me.



He's intelligent,
supportive, funny.



Me, me, me.



- He's romantic and courageous.
- Me also.



He's got a good body, but doesn't look
in the mirror every two minutes.



I have a great body, and sometimes
I go months without looking.



He's kind, sensitive and gentle.



He's not afraid to cry
in front of me.



This is a man, right?



He likes animals and children,
and he'll change poopy diapers.



Does he have
to use the word "poopy"?



And he plays an instrument,
and he loves his mother.



I am really close on this one.
