I guess I’m odd, I can like very different types of guys. Blond, brown or red, muscular or lanky, 5’8"or 6’8". He does need to look masculine, healthy and attractive but I usually fall for things other than specific looks.  
Not even so much the particular interests but the character that is behind it. I can admire a guy who has the courage to do a scary sport, or to stand up for his ideas, I can admire a man’s thirst for knowledge and how enthusiastically he applies himself to his interests, I can admire how a man plans thing and makes firm decisions.  
I like guys who seem calm and at ease most of the time, but I do feel it is endearing when a guy is a bit nervous of talking to me but still finds the courage to do so. I like guys who have good social skills and mind how others feel in their presence but also dare to be themselves. I like guys who are independent and not under peer pressure. I like guys who have real interests, not just watching TV, and a mix of intellectual and physical activities. What I think it really sexy is when a guy is very masculine and enjoys being the man. I like feeling like a woman and chivalrous guys make me feel so girly.

I’m posting to this thread a little late and I’m not sure if anyone has mentioned the type of man I like, but here’s who I’m attracted to…

1. I like a little “fluff”. I feel sexier if he is bigger then me.

2. I love rough hands. I mean “works hard, plays hard” calloused hands. Call me odd I guess.

3. I like a clean healthy smile.

4)As far as jeans go. I like them a little baggy, not skin tight. I like the idea that he might need extra room.

Humm, I’m sure there’s more… Maybe I’ll need to post again when I think of them.

LOL@Mark

Snow White liked dwarfs, and many girls would date an elf but I don’t know of any fairytale where a troll gets the girl…

Renny seems to be into other species though. What is the grey creature in that avatar pic?

Shrek got the girl! Kind of like a troll. 😛

Oh oh oh I wanna play!  
Carrie Im totally stealing some of the stuff you wrote, great minds think alike? lol

- shoulders - I love broad muscular shoulders

- forearms - musular and veiny (Im not quite sure what a rippling forearm looks like =oP)

_skin- I tend to go for the Latino men and similar, but I have a wide range, it just depends. I am attracted to exotic looking men._

Hair- dark, haircut really depends on the person, if it fits him then it’s all good. Typically the guys Ive dated have been “clean-cut”.

- noses - err hmm I guess the typical romanesque nose,

- that classic V-shaped torso, though the waist doesn’t have to be tiny (no tiny wastes please). I love abs and that those lil curvatures that start at the hips and curve down to the groin, yummy.

- jeans or pants that fit - all this baggy business, what are they trying to hide? Oh gosh I am so sick of the guys that show off their underwear and they still have to wear belts so they dont fall to their knees. Oh and no super ubber tight “girl jeans”, or even worse the super tight girl jeans that ALSO hang down past their but. I mean seriously? 🙄

- hands and feet - long bones but not skinny, visible joints and veins, graceful and strong from use, mmm.

_Legs-I really love nice athletic meaty thighs/calves, like cyclist and some soccer players have._

_eyes- Im all about eyes and strong brows (but not unibrow). The eyes that seem to see into your soul, you know when you see it.  
eye color doesnt really matter to me._

body hair- I do like body hair on a man, BUT he shouldnt resemble the yet/bigfoot or Robin Williams for that matter. 😛

A strong jaw is good if it fits the face.

No I am a country girl at heart so give me a guy in a pair of jeans and a tank top anyday.

Forearms and 5 oclock shadow are my weakness though. Excuse me but I must fan myself now.

gawd im such a nerd.

im listening and i wanna relate so bad,  
but its like  
if a guy’s wit/intelligence/humor is a bit more open-minded and quick,  
i will find something or everything sexxay about him.

my SO is broad and muscular and _very_ much a guy,  
but if he didnt have what he has upstairs,  
i wouldnt have checked out the basement…😉

I like a well tailored suit on a man but I also like a flannel shirt and jeans…or a simple collard shirt and jeans. While a suit may be attractive and impressive (no crime in that), the suit itself isn’t the turn on. It’s no good if it ain’t filled with the right stuff…nor is anything else ya slap onto the outside. 😉 🙂 That said, all in all, I like a clean well-groomed appearance no matter what he’s wearing.

Move over, Tish. 😃 Though five o’clock shadow is way hotter to _look_ at than _feel,_ up close. By the time it’s acceptably soft enough for up close behavior, it’s gotta be at least three days worth of growth and then he’s beginning to look downright homeless. 😛 Yes, stubble can be sexy on the right guy but he ain’t gettin’ nothin’ but a peck till he shaves. Sorry, I’ve had enough brush burns to last me the rest of my life.

If were talkin’ parts, I love hands. Nice masculine hands (to go with the forearms). 🙂 Again, not a requirement.

And if\* any\* part looks like it belongs on a wild animal (i.e. Big Foot), please _do_ trim…or _wax_ if necessary. Well, you asked. 😃

Bella,

That’s my experience with stubble - visually, maybe with some women; tactile - no way, they ALL complain.

I almost gave an anonymous nose hair trimmer to one of my colleagues one Christmas. Smart guy but such a nerd. Wonder what his wife was like?
