uniqueone Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 This one is kind of related to my other thread but not exactly. Are there certain types of features/body parts that turn you off about a potential partner? Here's my example. I like strong chins. I'm ok with a weak chin though, if I end up liking the person and find him otherwise physically attractive. What I don't like though is chins that run into necks...where there's not so much distinction between the two....loose skin, you might say. What I dislike even more is when they try covering this up with a goatee. That's just my preference...some women might love the look and I'm sure many do. Do you have certain features or body parts that you're particular about in a potential partner?
Lizzie60 Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 for me it has to be teeth... the guy has to have nice white teeth... and a nice skin... no acne... can't stand zits and bad teeth... eeewwwww... oh I am not keen for 'red' hair...
Author uniqueone Posted August 4, 2007 Author Posted August 4, 2007 oh I am not keen for 'red' hair... I have never known a woman who was! I feel sorry for the red-haired men!
Lizzie60 Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 it's sad for them... maybe because they are so white..and all the freckles... I don't know ... never liked red heads...
underpants Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 I have a friend that loves red heads. She married one. They are awesome and their children are beautiful. Perfect combo between a brunette brown eyed and a red haired blue eyed. Botticelli babies. I always thought that ..what was his name. Eric Stolz, I had a crush on him. I agree a pulse and we will start from there. Of course I like my men fit (physically and intellectually, hopefully emotionally) enough to keep up with me.
IfWishesWereHorses Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 My only physical feature is dark hair, even grey hair that was once dark works for me. Other than that, intelligence, humor, and culture. Add to that some moral standards. I'm sold. I'm sure that there are plenty of light headed decent guys, but for some reason that doesn't work for me. Probably freudian as my dad was 1/3 (that's one third, no typo..) Indian.

It seems (from what I've heard from women), that most prefer dark hair. Then next is light hair. Last is red hair.
Lyssa Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 I like men with sharp nose. Where I am from, we don't have a lot of that. Deep-set eyes, nice! Like Unders, I like my man physically and mentally fit - someone who plays a lot of sports as I play alot of it.
Whatisup Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 When I am looking for a woman I need a pretty smile. The kind that just melts your heart
halfarock Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 it's sad for them... maybe because they are so white..and all the freckles... I don't know ... never liked red heads... Me either. It also seems to me that red haired, freckled people have rougher skin, not quite so soft.

I worked down the street from a Greek family owned restaurant as a young adult. Adored the Greek men who passed by, but I understand that they don't treat their wives so well!

Truth is my friend that most women (mature women) would trade physical looks for personal attributes in a heart beat! How old are you?
Trialbyfire Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 I think I'm particular about a pulse. This only means that it's alive but doesn't guarantee that it's human. I want a certificate of authenticity, preferably from the Franklin Mint.

I want a certificate of authenticity, preferably from the Franklin Mint.You know, I think you just pointed out where I'm going wrong! The last guy had a pulse, alot of uncertainty remains about the human aspect tho... certificate...Franklin Mint...check
Lyssa Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 My only physical feature is dark hair, even grey hair that was once dark works for me. Oh yeah... men with growing white hair... sexy!

The last guy had a pulse, alot of uncertainty remains about the human aspect tho... certificate...Franklin Mint...check Yeap. I'm gonna' put the certificate right next to my other one. The one for the Elvis Commemorative hanging dinner plate. One's about as worthwhile as the other one.
IfWishesWereHorses Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Oh yeah... men with growing white hair... sexy! Honey, at my age, men growing hair PERIOD is a treat!
Lyssa Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Honey, at my age, men growing hair PERIOD is a treat! LOL - yup... I think even men at my age! They grow less and less nowadays...
tom27 Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 I'm pretty picky, lol. I'm a well-built teenager and I like those girls that are small but nicely toned. I guess my favorite features are girls with "rounded" faces and small rounded noses, brown hair, darker skin. I like delicate girls, I suppose. Other than that, I value integrity and honesty the most.

Trialbyfire Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 As long as our expectations are realistic, there's no reason not to find certain physical attributes more attractive than others. On the other hand, should they be deal-breakers, particularly if we expect more from a mate than ourselves?
katiebour Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 Physically, I like dark hair. I don't mind black or brown dyed a lighter color, it's just something about dark eyebrows framing their eyes. I've dated two guys well over 6 feet tall, and one who was 5'10". I felt like I fit better with the 5'10" guy, although my current 6'4" boyfriend is fun to tease and I feel cute when he calls me "shorty." I love long fingers. My first boyfriend had delicate hands, almost girly. My second had big hands, but his fingers were thick. My current b/f has these long, elegant hands with bluntly tipped fingers- like he's art melded with strength. A major turn-on. The biggest turn on for me is a great smile. Teeth don't have to be perfect but if they were really crooked some sort of orthodontia would be in order. No visible missing teeth. Plus I love seeing the corner of a guy's eyes wrinkle up when he smiles a real, honest-to-god grin. Dimples are cute too. I prefer plumper lips. But it's all part of a package, you know? My boyfriend is not a perfect melding of all my desired physical traits, but alltogether he's wonderful.
directx Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 This may sound like a cop out answer, but honestly when I grow to like the person, i get attracted to their features. However, things that will always turn me off with women are: 1) Someone that looks 'dumpy' and 'sloppy' 2) Really really short hair. 3) Hairy legs
