What Attracts You?
I happened randomly across this Feministe post, an open thread, really -
Do you have a very rigid physical type to which you are attracted?
Highly recommended - I mean, Feministe readers are typically some pretty cool, progressive ladies and gents (and trans folks and gender neutral folks and...), so they're a good group to query about this touchy subject. As whole, everyone tagged personality over appearance, especially in how a great personality can make anyone gorgeous.
BTW, lots of the women nailed my type - tall, lanky, pale, dark-haired - maybe it's some kind of cultural thing for half-hippie half-hipster girls? (I mean, I'm not nearly absurd enough to be a hipster, but you know, you get the idea) Lots of people tagged nerds and guys with glasses, too. Heh.
Of course, when you look at the range of people whom I've dated, almost none fit all of those characteristics - I've been all over the place, and I like it that way.
