    Ooh, I can't believe I forgot to put this in my "type"... Definitely likewise, he'd have to be a very sexual guy.

    Wuhoo, not the only one, now I don't sound like a perv:P

    My only problem with it is I would have to trust the person completely.

    I wouldn't say to some random girl I am sleeping with "Wanna give Tantra a try?" For some reason I can't see them being too impressed.

    Of course it's all about trust... But this is a tricky thing to navigate, because you have to be sure the person is into the same things early on, otherwise there's a fundamental incompatibility. However, introducing someone to your sex swing on the first date is a no-no :P

    A girl has to be moderately intelligent for me. I refuse to hold conversations only about clothes and make-up. I will have conversations about them, but if that is the only thing theytalk about then no thank you.

    I very much doubt many girls would only discuss clothes and make-up with a guy!

    I've been known to chat to guys about clothes and make-up from time to time, but within seconds, I can tell they're bored and move on to something else.
    Unless the girl is completely oblivious, she'll know when the guy isn't interested in discussing "girlie" things.

    That's ok for me, I don't have one, doubt my mam would appreciate me putting one up either :P

    For that particular reason, any girl I am interested in, I will test boundaries before I let them know. I will slowly shift the conversation towards sex and if they get offended by the topic then it's a no go for me.

    Also, for one that is "my type", I don't care how her body is, she must not be ashamed of it. I love the female body too much and take, what could be described as by some prudes, a perverse pleasure in exploring the whole body and seeing what works for the girl in question.

    I could go on, but then I get into S&S stuff and since I am not a subscriber I can't get in there :(

    I have some female friends and I am their "gay best friend", I am straight, but I enjoy helping them pick clothes because I know what suits their body types and what colours work with them.

    LOL, I don't have a sex swing either, Twas just an example ;)

    I tend to do that same thing, testing the waters, but I think it can be risky because then a lot of guys might presume you're just looking for sex, or you're easy, etc etc. Total minefield, tbh.

    I admire your attitude to different body types - hard to find a woman who's secure though. Very hard. I'd say I'm more body confident than most women (though I'm overweight) and I'm still pretty insecure!

    Good thing no one's home, because that made me laugh like an eejit! :D

    I think my type is also someone who can keep me on my toes.
    Sure, it's nice to be with someone who clearly likes you a lot and makes you feel special, but I also need to be kept interested. If someone just hands you everything you want or gives in to you all the time, there's no ... excitement.

    Gok Wan? :P

    I think that's pretty cool, actually!
    I find it really funny, when a guy fakes interest in clothes/make-up ...
    "That's a nice dress, where did you get it?"
    Then you answer the question and they fall asleep within seconds!
    :D

    Oh well, now the whole world knows that reading a thread about people's types where things like sex swings and tantra were mentioned, got you all hot and bothered :P

    Do women do that? Talk to men about make-up and stuff? Whyyyy? I don't even talk to other women about that stuff. I've come across a few women in the past who've asked me what foundation I was using, or where I got an item of clothes -and its pretty much a one-word answer you'd get from me.

    Its a given that they don't know anything about those things unless they are gay or don't know they are gay yet =P

    I'm not gay, I don't know or care where they got/get the clothes, what I am good at is picking what clothes my friends should wear/buy. That's about it really!!!

    Besides, why would gay guys know what clothes look good on a woman?

    Ask Marc Jacobs! ;)

    Stereotypically, gay men are perceived as more interested in clothing and fashion than straight guys.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,883 ✭✭✭shellyboo


    Mini has a point though... Gay guys might know what looks *good*, but straight guys have the inside track on what's attractive to men.

    That said, I don't think anyone has the monopoly on style, tbh. It's not a gender-based trait!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11 Cerium


    Ha, my boyfriend at the moment looks an awful lot like Eric Cantona. Oddly I'm one of the first people to point it out. I'm very much into the tall, dark and a little dishevelled look now. Although them light Irish eyes have me spinning.
    I used to go for tall, kinda nerdy, gawky boys. With glasses. Funnily they're still the ones I note as attractive when I see them in college and that, though I am quite enjoying the fact that the boyfriend now can pick me up with no visible strain.

    Also, Irish boys are far too clever. I truly think that the general intelligence/wit level is much, much higher here. Its charming.

    hmmm doesn't have to be tall...there's always hair to gel to add to height....

    It is not always the case...my hubby knows exactly what suits me, he walks around a shop in 5 minutes makes me laugh and we do not have to put up with shopping longer, it bores me. Having similar interests definitly helps.

    I grew up with a bit of a complex about my height, as I was about 5ft6 from the age of 13, and now stand at a mildly taller-than-average 5ft8. Boys didn't ever like girls taller than them. I'm almost over it by now =)

    Tall hair though? Eesh.

    Not really sure I have a type, but then again guys I'd go for tend to have some few things in common, though this has changed over the years too.
    I find long hair really hot on a guy, but most guys with long hair don't know how to keep it/don't look as though they wash, so it's not always a positive... It's not an essential anyway, current bf has short hair which looks good on him (long didn't suit him as much). Height is important to me, I like a guy to be taller than me, and make me feel small and feminine (I'm quite a broad build and am pretty insecure about it). I don't think I could go out with someone shorter, it'd just look and feel wrong. Then again the perfect man might be a short one, who knows :P I don't mind a guy being skinny, but probably wouldn't go for an overweight guy, really turns me off tbh. Eyes are a really important facial feature, windows to the soul and all I suppose. I don't mind what colour, as long as they're nice to look at and expressive.
    I suppose the usual 'intelligece' should go in here. I find this a bit weird though tbh, as I believe different types of intelligence exist, and many people possess a mixture of different kinds (logical-mathematical, musical, social etc). I do prefer someone who would be more academic, as I'm that way inclined personally. I find musicians really attractive also (so I guess musical intelligence too), talent is sexy, as is creativity. It'd also just be a common interest as I play instruments myself and am studying music in college (so fun :)). Personality wise, I like someone with personality, who doesn't just go with the crowd, someone who thinks and acts independently of others and does what they want to do, rather than doing what's considered 'cool' or whatever. I like affectionate guys, someone who'll hold my hand, play with my hair or cuddle into me because they like doing it, not because it's what they feel they 'should' do. I'm extremely affectionate and I like my bf to be the same, it just works better that way. A guy being social is important too, I like to go out with friends and also to meet new people. I'd look forward to meeting his friends and hope he'd feel the same about meeting mine. I like to go out to loads of different kinds of events so someone with a broad range of interests would be cool (as in, not just 'let's go to the pub', every single saturday night).

    Wow I sound SO picky!! :P

    That makes you a good mate with a keen eye for clothes ;)

    Is that a serious question? lol well.. You wouldn't have to be well up in the fashion industry to know that its full of them. Brutal honesty, creative and a keen eye =)

    I dont particularly have a type. As long as they're taller than me nothing else matters really, its more down to personality

    My type of guy is the scruff ball, jeans and t-shirt, messy/long hair sort. Hair not so long it can be tied back, and it MUST be clean. Also the adventurous type, possibly liking water. a gig goer, but also into sport.

    Now if I'm talking about looks or personality, then in an ideal world:
    dark brown hair,
    sallow skin
    5ft 10/11"
    intelligent
    funny
    kind
    like them to be lean, but I don't like muscles.
    Nice arms
    if he's a masculine type able to fix things, then I'm there!

    and just in a totally ideal world, if he plays the guitar, then I'm like...Awwwwwwwwwwwwww


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 32 goldilocks77


    My 'type' was always short, dark and 'evil' (black sense of humour) but now I've fallen in love with tall and skinny - never liked tall guys before but this man has a beautiful, sharp brain and is the most kind, patient boyfriend I've ever had... :):):) You never know..... Would ALWAYS go for brains, looks never did it for me. Cantona? I so would...
