5. Yeah that's nice.
"sense of humor" is on the poll for "DU Men" too right?

Geezaloo.

10. Some are, some aren't...
Your "sense of humor" falls into the "other" category here. :)

14. Eyebrows.
Seriously.

I love men with dark, thick eyebrows. I even think some women look better with thick eyebrows rather than thin, tweezered ones (think of a young Elizabeth Taylor or Lauren Bacall) Anyway...yeah, eyebrows always get my attention.

19. No way...
me too! Well, I'm weird in that I tend to develop a 'thing' for whatever the person I'm in love / lust with has goin on. So for me right now it's wiry, fair-skinned, DARK-haired, blue-eyed men with nice hands, thick eyebrows, a BANGIN ass, nicely-muscled back. Preferably Irish. I could go on and on... :P

23. Oh damn.
You went and got yourself a wiry, fair-skinned, DARK-haired, blue-eyed men with nice hands, thick eyebrows, a BANGIN ass, and a nicely-muscled back? Does he have a brother? I've been finding myself checking out the wiry, fair-skinned guys around town recently. You and I do seem to be on the same wavelength about these things. Didn't we both admit to having a thing for Jason Alexander a while back? Or was that someone else at DU? I think it was you:P

30. If the man I'm with is
eye candy and nothing more, then I'm not going to be with him for very long.

I like intelligent conversation with witty men, and that's also what I'm attracted to.

Incidentally why did the thread about particular likes and dislikes of the female anatomy get locked for being gratuitous about the female anatomy while this thread, which does the same for the male anatomy, still remains unlocked? Just a little curious is all.

Q3JR4.

31. Dunno.. didn't know the other was locked.
But FYI this one was posted in response to that one. I can never resist attempting to make sex-related things balanced in the lounge at least. :)

Maybe they got carried away with the things they were sayin? Or the mods weren't alerted on this one? Dunno... but that is odd.

34. Physical-ness-wise, it has to be "ass." And sunglasses.
For some reason I FRIGGING LOVE sunglasses. Epic. They are amazing.

Mostly though I love from the "inside, out"--personality and politics first. If he's a liberal comedic genius who can make some mean music and write like a mofo (or even just two of those, "liberal" and "genius," or something like it, being at the top of the list), I'm totally crazy for it. I can find physical beauty in anything as long as the mind--what I notice first, anyway--is there.

69. Yes, I should have given a couple of examples
Roy Scheider, Michael York for the sort of schmushed type. Then I like the thin, very straight from the browridge type. Can't think of an example of the top of my head. Oh, actutally, the Barrymore nose is a good example. Something bent a bit to the side is good, too.

Sorry for the delay in answering. 12 hour power outage.

39. personality. How they handle theirself when things are down.
Do they have a sense of humor. Do they know how to laugh at theirself. I look at the eyes and I want to see "good character" in their face. I like talent. I voted "other" but I almost voted eyes.

40. Other
if they don't make me laugh, they've got no chance, if they make me laugh they can be fat, bald and anything else.

I love a man who is smart and makes me laugh

if it's just a ZAP across the room, give me a slim, whipcord of a man who's tall and lanky but my beloved husband of 15 years is 6foot 200+ pounds with a bald spot the size of a bread plate

but he makes me laugh... :loveya:

Sometimes both.

Either way I wouldn't have an answer for this poll... my tastes are usually too eclectic to point to any one thing. :)

BUT... I will do it again. I have done before and I thought I'd learn from that, but as you see I did at least try to be inclusive, and yet still with the failure / stupid. *sigh*

It's my lot in life to serve as a warning to others, obviously. :P

50. Aw, I can't stay mad at you. :P
I think my main criteria is that he can't be prettier than me though.

Don't get me wrong, I like pretty. I'm just really vain and I don't want him to be prettier than me. :P

Seriously though, I've got fairly wide and varied taste so it just depends on the person. Some things are more attractive on one person than they would be on another.

Within the face eyes are probably the most "important", but it's really about the interplay between the various parts of the face...but physical issues are less important than his mind, I have to find him and his mind interesting.

dated some zombies and they needed BRAINS! The SO I have been with for 32 years has brains and intelligence so I feel I did alright in that regard. He also has a nice backside, frontside and his profile isn't too bad after all these years of my Italian cooking. :evilgrin:

70. it's not personality that gets me going -- when i first meet them
i don't know what kind of personality they have.

and lord knows i've fooled around with enough guys -- and some girls -- for purely physical reasons.

in this order -- i like a six pack, ass, arms{i love big guns}, floppy rakish hair, a MISCHIEVOUS smile -- something that just beckons trouble.
