Who do you find sexy and why?

[happyasaclam]

I had a discussion/argument tonight with some of my family, after I had mentioned that the typical blond haired/blue eyed girl doesn't really do that much for me.
But it did get me wondering as to what, why and who other people find sexy.

I am sure a topic like this has been done before (probably several times), but being relatively new I have missed, and I'm curious to know what people on DU think.

So, who do you find sexy and why?
Is it your husband, wife, boyfriend or girlfriend? possibly your neighbor? a co-worker? or someone famous?

[Bronco69]

1. Same here.

Give me a dark haired man any day. Oh, and the bigger the arms, the sexier the man. :-)

[meegbear]

2. WOOF!

[sniffa]

3. hmmm - bijou phiLLips is my #1

but during her party days when she had a shaved head.

i Like girLs who Look/dress Like boys (raver Look my fav) and boys who are more effemnate (again, raver Look is good).

[SarahB]

4. Sure glad I have green eyes then. Actually, here's my wish list...

(I'm fussy and some folks on another site accused me of wanting my own doppelganger in a sense. Hardly, I just know what I want and what I like. Qualities I like turn me on way more than any celebrity I don't know.)

Sarah's almost impossible wish list of sexiness:

1. He's male, politically left of center, funny, introverted, but not shy.

2. Extremely intelligent, but unpretentious at the same time about it. A person who is always surprising me with his knowledge base and won't get intimidated by my vocabulary because his is even better (but he won't necessarily point that out either).

3. Someone who is that blend of spiritual, but not religious. He knows that what we see isn't all there is, but at the same time is open and not dogmatic about any one belief system in particular.

4. Someone who doesn't drink or drinks very little and is so not into drugs that if he has a headache, he'd rather grab a handful of almonds than take an aspirin. He is wholistic about health and wellness, but not because he's 'recovering' from anything (BTDT before), but because it's just who he is.

5. Someone who works hard, but not because he is seeking to pursue material things to impress the rest of the world, but because it's who he is and he has an intrinsic motivation to succeed.

6. Someone who works in something to serve the rest of humanity-- either on a personal or global level.

7. Someone who is a feminist (and truly understands what that means in an egalitarian sense), yet everytime he sees me, he lusts after me so much he can barely keep his hands off me.

8. Someone who has compassion, empathy, and patience, but is not afraid to fight and stand up for something either physically or verbally when necessary.

9. Someone who is very sexually open, but at the same time able to be monogamous and prefers it in fact.

10. Someone who's also had experience in a long term relationship and understands just what that can mean, both good and bad.

11. Someone who sees the things in me that make me me-- both good and bad-- including my insomnia, my emotionalness (is that a word?), the fact I'm so overly analytical about everything (hee-hee :7), my need for space sometimes, etc..... and still likes me for who I am.

And the bonus section (bonus, just physicalities, not necessities):

He's tall, not too skinny, but not exactly 'fat' either (I'm thinking 5'11"-6'6", 180-220lbs, reasonably fit, but plastic perfection not required), has all his hair (color doesn't matter and that's definitely negotiable), maybe some facial hair (either a mustache or mustache and beard combo), and preferably between the ages of 37 and 47.

on edit:

Since most people seem to be adding celebrities, I'll add my pick of Tim Robbins or Richard Gere. They seem to fit both the internal and external qualities I like. I like Colin Firth too, but I admittedly know less aboout his politics.

[Kolesar]

7. Happy hunting

From a short, neurotic, naproxen-popping skeptic. To your credit, you did say physical attributes were secondary.

[SarahB]

10. Exactly...

More than what most men see or have wanted to give me in return. Too often in life, I've been noticed or appreciated for physical attributes by those who could give a rat's ass about who I was on the inside, who I really am, or what I thought. I'd much rather be by myself at this point in life than settle for anything less than what I want.

[happyasaclam]

13. I totally agree

and there is no point in settling for less than what you want just to be in a relationship, because you wouldn't be happy and I doubt the relationship would last.

[Arkana]

48. Well, I'm 19 and I fulfill most of those requirements

LOL...at least I think I do.

[SarahB]

68. Where were you in 1990?

Someone like you back then could have prevented a disaster. Sadly, you were in Kindergarten probably. :cry:

[Arkana]

88. *chuckles*

Actually, that's where I was, reading the notes that the teacher would send home with kids...I remember I was the only one who could read them, so they'd come to me to see what they said. I used to get in trouble all the time.

:evilgrin:

[serryjw]

9. Change you are requirement to 50-60 and I agree.....ADD

A BIG smile & a GREAT kisser!

[SarahB]

66. Oooooo!

For a great smile, maybe. For a great kisser, for sure! I don't know. I'm certainly not an ageist, but my dad's 58. It's hard to imagine being with someone my dad's age, but then again, the Big Dog's also 58 and he completely melts my butter, so hey, maybe I should change those age requirements. :)

[serryjw]

70. Is your DAD a good dem and single?

where does he live?

[SarahB]

75. yes and yes

He's a bit of a curmudgeon these days, but he's a Dem who's very far left- voted for Nadar last time (but we're a solid blue state, so that's ok) and I think Clark in the primaries. He was even a delegate in past years. He's very single (well, divorced for many years). He lives near Hartford, CT.

[serryjw]

80. He sounds great......

Is he looking? Is he cute?

[SarahB]

91. I don't know.

He's 5'7", a little chubby, blue-grey eyes, sort of bald (grey/dark blonde), sort of looks like Phil Collins. I don't know if he's looking. As far as I know, since he and my mom were divorced in 1992 (they were actually married and divorced to each other twice), he's only dated one person. He never talks about it and is really shy. I love to see him find someone and being happy because he's a very kind, caring man, but it's been a rough few years for him over the last 5 or 6 years. He's an attorney (but not a rich one) and lost his job in part due to him asking ethics questions about no-bid contracts I believe at the former state agency he worked for. Somehow I think there was pressure to get rid of him from people who worked for our former Repuke governor (John Roland, who was actually kicked out of office for corruption) and has since not gotten anything full-time, so now he does consulting work when he can. You might say my family has been directly affected by Republican corruption. :(

[serryjw]

98. Hey you never can tell.......

Give him email if he is interested. or have him go to match.com. I'm Koolkarma213...or yahoo.com koolkarma817

[pdx_prog]

36. Hey, that's me!

Very uncanny.....you just described ME to a tee!...lol

[SarahB]

67. Cool!

I know someone else who fits them too, but I'll be keeping my eye on for you now! Not that I know there's a few of those "my type" guys out there, it gives me hope anyway. :D

[VOX]

79. SB, you've hit nearly every point on my "resume!"

Except the age -- at 55, I'm nearer your dad's age. But no need for a walker and soft, bland foods just yet -- I swim and work out (it's my "spiritual" time) and am in good shape. Alas, I'm married, and I am indeed monogamous.:( Oh, the final "miss" is that I'm thinning a bit on the crown, but at 6'5", not many people can see it! :)

I totally understand insomnia, as a "night-owl" myself. And the need for space is a given. I would let you be you, if I could be me.

Your joy will come, in time -- I had to wait until I was about age 44 until I met my soulmate. Prior to that, I never had a relationship that lasted longer than three-four years. Although I still think very fondly of the women with whom I have been privileged to share so much.

So keep your eyes to the skyline, there are no doubt many fine gents who will fit most, if not all, of your criteria.
:hug:

[SarahB]

93. LOL

You've got it goin' on though. I've seen your picture! :7 But you are married and it's sounds like quite happily at that. (You're a lucky dude.) Actually, I know someone who fits these qualities who appears to like me a bit, but neither of us are in any hurry to rush anything given a lot of mutual circumstances.

I've come to terms with being alone for the most part for the next few years. I have a lot to do- mainly finish nursing school, work, take care of kids, and get this divorce thing finalized while "attempting" to be as amicable as possible with the soon-to-be ex. Not that I will be content to sit by myself in a rocking chair and never date anyone (which I'll still be fussy about), but as far as anything major again (like cohabitation or more), it'll be awhile. :)

[getoffmytrain]

86. :-)

1. Me.

2. Me

3. Meeee

4. Me

5. huh... Me.

6. Me again.

7. Me.

8. That's me.

9. Me yet again.

10. That'd be me.

11. Odd, Me.

WOW!!! We may be on to something.....:-)

Oh no, I'm 26 and wouldn't be caught dead with a mustache. But....lol, good list. Good luck finding him!

[SarahB]

92. Dang!

Another young'un! :(

[MrSandman]

106. Well, I'd be more likely to chew on a sprig of birch...

than eat almonds.

...my emotionalness (is that a word?)...

I wouldn't be prone to say.

:hi:

[flamingpie2500]

5. Johnny Depp!! The hair, the eyes, the demeanor.

[gollygee]

6. I like guys with dark curly hair

And I don't like it when guys shave or wax or whatever they do to get rid of their tummy and chest hair. Tummy and chest hair on a man is very sexy.

Oh and I love men with deep sexy voices.

My dh has dark curly hair and a deep sexy voice :)

[notadmblnd]

8. Men performing physical labor

I just love to watch men work and sweat.

[Mizmoon]

11. John Corbitt can be my boy-toy anytime

that's right, I said it.

ON EDIT: I see you want to know why too. I don't know. He's just plain dreamy :)

As for reality - My hubby is tall, of British descent (like me), intellectual, shy, and a troubled genius who makes a very nice living which allows me to work part-time and pursue my writing. He is also the kindest, most patient man on the face of the earth. He tolerates my kids better than I do sometimes. And he's a kick-ass math tutor to them. More than anything, he gives me the one thing that any human needs from their lover - the knowledge that I am loved totally and unconditionally. And that's majorly sexy.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

12. I find raven haired, short women attractive. Think Italian, spanish, etc.

My Fiancée is raven haired and fair but exactly my height. The first girl who wasn't shorter than me that I find to be the sexiest ever.

I don't like skinny women, I like women with some meat on their bones, and chubby is cute as hell. I prefer bustier women but as long as their real it is not a problem.

[Tafiti]

16. I feel you on that one...

...like Salma Hayek. She does it for me.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

33. Salma Hayek is my IDEAL woman, physically. Wynona Rider is in the running

but its all about Salma!

[dr.strangelove]

14. Its all about the Irish Redheads for me

I have this thing for pale irish redheads with brown or green eyes. I married one. My wife is german/irish with dark red hair and hazel eyes. We've been together for almost 10 years and one look at her still does it for me.

Love those Irish girls.

[exJW]

15. I likes 'em all, dammit

Does that make me a flip-flopper :-(

[mosin]

19. No.

You're just highly nuanced.

[dr.strangelove]

22. God, you liberals are disgusting

liking more than one kind of woman is revolting. You flip-flop from dark skinned to light, red head to blond. My god, you may even flip from a good christian girl to a heathen atheist or worse, a muslim woman.

Vote republican and we'll make flip flopping between the types of girls you like illegal. If we find out some other country harbors people with different tastes in women, we'll invade.

(I hope you can read the sarcasm here, but just in case, I AM KIDDING. Sorry for the rant, but I just had a difficult conversation with a freeper in my office and I needed to vent).

[geniph]

118. I have a serious thing for big beefy blond men

don't ask me why, but I'm so frigging predictable it's ridiculous. The Rutger Hauer or Sean Bean type makes me weak in the knees.

[geniph]

116. Hmmm...I resemble that remark!

[Wat_Tyler]

17. People who despise the mundane nature of modern consumerist society,

and are dedicated to both it's thwarting and the pursuit of the only two things that matter, truth and beauty. And leggy redheads.

[Donkeyboy75]

28. Same as you, actually.

Except leggy redheads with money that are up to date with the latest fashions.

[tigereye]

56. so Joan of Arc if she were a redhead

and still alive. And interested. ;)

Hey Wat-sit ( hell, I still wanna call you Byron.)

[CO Liberal]

18. Mrs. CO Liberal

Why? Because she is... :loveya:

[the Princess]

76. <blush>

aint he cute?

[Spider Jerusalem]

20. I don't like blue-eyed blondes, either.

Or blondes in general.

My preference, physically, anyway, seems to be: jet-black hair, 5' to 5'6, grey, green or dark eyes, (relatively) pale, with things like intelligence and personality being more important than weight (up to a point) and breast size (the obsession with which I don't get, anyway).

Janeane Garofalo, for instance, I find extremely sexy. The bleach job is a bad look for her, though.

[happyasaclam]

99. I've never understood the obsession

a lot of men have with breast size either.

[XNASA]

21. The sexiest people are the ones that say......

"Who I find sexy are the people who despise the mundane nature of modern consumerist society."

Those kinds of people are hot, Hot, HOT!!!!

[Wat_Tyler]

23. You know it, baby!

We're hot!

[bearfan454]

24. Mrs bearfan

She's my soulmate.

[Phillycat]

25. Let's see.

1. Brilliantly intelligent and funny as hell are at the top of the list. If you can make me laugh, you are halfway to getting into my pants. :) But you have to make me REALLY laugh--like gasping for breath, tears running down face laughing.

2. Blonde wavy hair and the most gorgeous blue-green eyes in the history of the world.

3. Built like a MAN--broad shoulders, big thighs, flat hard stomach, big strong hands with callouses.

4. Um. Big. Yep. That's all I'll say there. Big all over.

5. TALL. And no fat.

6. Love to cuddle.

7. Into music, books, politics, just like me. Can converse for hours on these topics without losing interest or running out of opinions.

Hmm. Yeah, that's about right. Luckily for me, all I had to do there was describe my boyfriend. I'm so lucky! :loveya:

[JimmyJazz]

26. I think I go for the James Dean look in a man. Kinda retro - not

too pretty. I'm short and I tend to like shorter men because (oh, wait, that's TMI) I look at lips and eyes. I'm very turned off by any man who is high maintenance.

And, any man who reads Kerouac in bed to me is gonna steal my heart.

[rockymountaindem]

52. Oh, come on...

why do you like short guys? I'm 5'7'' so I guess that puts me in the 40th percentile. Not exactly short, but clearly out of the running for any woman who prefers tall men. What is it that you like about shorter guys?

[JimmyJazz]

54. What's the information worth to you?

:P

Check your inbox - I'll tell you the truth, but you had better not use it against me. Give me a minute first though.

[JimmyJazz]

59. I like being eye-to-eye with a person or at least having to tip my

head up just a bit to kiss them and not suffer neck strain. This is how I like 'em:



on edit: if he broke 5'5" it was 'cause he was wearing creepers.

[amazona]

84. I'll tell you what I like about short men

Being able to stand up and talk to them without hurting my neck. I have a friend who is six four and is literally a pain in the neck to hold a discussion with him if we have to stand. His wife is never around -- I can't remember ever meeting her -- and I can't help but picture her back home wearing a neck brace or something.

[JimmyJazz]

85. thanks for that - I don't think he believed me!

[RoyalWickedness]

27. Looks have very little to do with what I find sexy

I've never had a "type." To me, it's more about the way someone interacts with me. My old man and I have been together for almost five years, and the sexiest thing about him is that he treats me exactly the same way (attentive, kind, and loving) whether we're alone or in a room full of people.

[mvd]

29. Women have so many things sexy about them that..

it's hard to limit is to one thing. I find sexiness in all hair colors, races, body types, heights, etc.

I tend to really go for combos of cute and beautiful - and with celebs, I go for ones I can imagine being in a relationship with.

Here's my latest crush list to help you decide:

Katie Holmes
Colleen Haskell
Morgan Webb
Alyssa Milano
Scarlett Johansson
Rachel Bilson
Natalie Portman
Jennifer Garner
Salma Hayek
Thandie Newton
Claire Danes
Eliza Dushku
Reese Witherspoon
Amanda Peet
Ali Larter
Jennifer Connelly
Kaley Cuoco
Hilarie Burton
Kim Smith
Amber Tamblyn
Keira Knightley
Sharon Case (plays Sharon on Young And The Restless)
Aubrey Dollar (ex-Marina - Guiding Light)
Deborah Zoe (ex-Eden on Guiding Light)
Lauren Woodland (plays Brittany on Y&R)
Ashley Jones (former Meg on Y&R)
Michelle Branch
Jenny Lewis (singer)
Bree Sharp (singer)
Andrea Corr

HM: Danneel Harris (soap actress,) Stephanie Gatschet (soap actress,) Lindsey McKeon (ex-Marah - Guiding Light,) Alicia Silverstone, Mandy Bruno (soap actress,) Mandy Moore, Marisa Tomei, Amy Acker, Rosario Dawson, Elisha Cuthbert

I currently don't have a steady relationship with anyone, but I should have the time to look more before long.

[Donkeyboy75]

32. It's vetting time. Looks like you have a long list of candidates.

Get crackin'. Or stalkin'. :evilgrin:

[Beware the Beast Man]

35. Question about the Honorable Mention....

Do these ladies fall short of some criteria in order to not make the rather exhaustive list?

[mvd]

43. Well, it's close

Some of it might be amount of exposure, some might be a small difference in looks or personality.

[Wat_Tyler]

37. It says in your sig-line 'flip-flopper'.

Shouldn't you be more decisive and just pick a small axis of foxes?

[mvd]

40. Nah

There are a lot of celebs out there so I feel my list is restrictive enough. :-)

BTW, my flip-flopper line is about Bush - look where the link leads.

[Wat_Tyler]

44. I know. I was just making a dreadful pun.

Neat link, though.

[mvd]

117. Geez, I forgot Alicia Witt

She's very intelligent, pretty, and a Kerry supporter:

http://www.dailyceleb.com/production/?view=event&eid=2572&cap=alicia+witt

She'll be in my top 30 when I make my next list.

[AVID]

30. My wife #1, Julianne Moore #2, Ashley Judd #3. Gweneth Paltrow #4

(definitely wife first - she reads my post sometimes) It's true honey!!!

[Beware the Beast Man]

31. Ronnie James Dio

I get all giddy when he sings about beasts and wizards! :bounce:

[Gothic Sponge]

34. A great sense of humor!

I love a woman that not only laughs, but they can be a comedian too.

The more arcane and bizarre the better!

[mac56]

38. Women with glasses.

Always a plus compared to women without.

[redqueen]

39. Nerds

More specifically, tall, dark haired nerds. Literate ones. But math geeks rev my engine as well. Actually, intelligence in general is sexy IMO... as long as its grounded in my sort of ethics and not some Machiavellian BS. Oh, and they have to be dominating.

[Arkana]

50. How's this for you

Tall, dark-haired, Italian, and a computer science major/mathematics minor. I would qualify in most books as a geek.

Geeks are good though, for it is they who shall inherit the earth (and the software companies.)

Hee hee hee...I'm really bored today.

[redqueen]

53. Mmmmmm... Italian

I do NOT get what the difference is between geeks/nerds/dorks.

Can anyone explain that to me? I guess maybe a dork isn't really intellectual, maybe? But then what about geeks vs. nerds?

[lakemonster11]

109. Well...

I always think of "dork" as implying extreme social and sartorial awkwardness. A dork isn't necessarily smart.

"Nerds," on the other hand, are just really intensely and joyfully interested in "academic" things like literature, math, science, computers, music, history, language, etc. They are smart and don't try to hide it.

I don't know about "geeks." I guess they would fall somewhere in between. Maybe nerds who are a little bit dorky. ;)

[tigereye]

57. sounds like my husband - but he's taken!

actually a few of these lists do. I am lucky, I guess.

but he's not dominating, though. Kind of mellow, mostly.

I have always liked tall guys - I used to have a thing for blonde and red headed men in my youth, but for some reasons it was all about the dark hair as I got older. Love those big, kind of cuddly, tall, smart, funny liberal and literate guys who like punk and other forms of music, esoterica and sci-fi.

Hey RQ :hi:

[redqueen]

61. Hi there!

:hi:

Yes, I do have a thing for redheads as well. But I really prefer dark hair.

Good call on the music & sci-fi, too! I left that off...

And yeah, anyone who's happy with their mate is lucky, IMO.

[pdx_prog]

41. Bar Bush (Sr.)!

My God, now there's a woman......ALL WOMAN....hubba hubba...lol

[Arkana]

49. AGGGGGGGHHHHHH

*claws eyes out with fork*

[MissMillie]

42. Mature men

40-55ish, with a little meat on their bones, and with a quick wit and who are ready to settle down

Why? Well, I guess I feel I've outgrown men < 40 who are "not ready yet" (GAG!).

[JohnKleeb]

45. Well what I am attracted to

1. Brunettes- Don't know why they're my favorite, it could be that I happen to be one myself :shrug: and they're cool.
2. Stunning eyes of any color, the kind that are so beautiful they could light up a dark area, ok thats a metaphor but you get the point, I am attracted to girls with stunning eyes
3. Average height of around 5'5-5'9, I like average to slightly above average women in height, I dont wanna be shorter than them yet I dont wanna be like a giant either.
4. Average weight- I am not attracted to people too skinny or too fat, no offense to anyone what so ever who fits in to any of these, I just like someone middle of the road weight wise
5. Casual dresser- She wears skirts, dresses, jeans, etc, but doesnt dress too conventional nor too out of the loop
6. She should share my politics, or at least be a democrat heh.
7. Brains- I like a girl who I can have a nice conversation about say politics, history, or whatever floats with.
8. Sense of humor- I like girls who have a good sense of humor about things, like the Simpsons, Family Guy, Chappelle, Bush's idiocy, etc
9. Self confident but not cocky, I like someone who is aware of
10. Not a big thing but I like eastern european ethnic girls and Irish ones as well, perhaps Catholic girls in general.
11. Religion- I like Catholics but would date anyone.
No offense meant to anyone what so ever by this, this is just what I am attracted to.
their potential yet who isn't in your face about how great they are.
Oh and often times blonde hair, blue eyes don't do it for me and I am part German hah.

[Arkana]

46. A friend of mine...we grew up together

and she's absolutely one of the most beautiful young women I've ever seen...plus she has this independent streak in her that my last girlfriend didn't have. She's a brunette and has the greatest blue eyes I've ever seen, plus she's a gymnast so she's always fit. I've actually had a crush on her for a long time...just too scared to say anything.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

47. intelligence, its very sexy to be

[jus_the_facts]

51. from a completely shallow perspective...two hotties I get hot over are...

...this is Tom Welling of Smallville fame....HOTTTTTTT! :9


....and o'course the mega talented Derek Jeter of MY New York Yankees! :evilgrin:


....as to why...well dammit...just LOOK at 'em! :D

[Chovexani]

96. OMG get out of my head!

You have excellent taste! :hi:

[jus_the_facts]

105. As do you....

...obviously! :evilgrin:

:hi:

[skygazer]

55. I find my husband incredibly sexy

He's just what I look for in a man. Tall, I like tall men. Broad shoulders, great back, muscular arms. Nice butt. Great profile, straight nose, glorious smile, smile crinkles around his eyes. Soulful brown eyes. Dark hair, just a bit on the chest (don't like real hairy men but I don't like waxed men either).

He's a carpenter and I love men who work with their hands. I don't really care for the work-out-at-the-gym look - I like REAL muscles that come from lifting and throwing and twisting and sweating on the job.

Oooh, I wish he was home now. I'd jump his bones!

[helnwhls]

58. big, pretty, stooopid men

I like big pretty stupid men. So dumb that they only have one or two things they do well beside stand around and look good. Brendan Fraser, The Rock, Johnny Depp (not so big but pretty and probably an ass).

[JVS]

60. People who use proper noun cases are sexy.

[redqueen]

62. NERD!

:loveya:

:evilgrin:

[JVS]

63. Did I mention that I'm a mathematics graduate student?

But I majored in Math, German and Economics in undergrad.

[redqueen]

64. German?

Yeah, you would have to mention that... wouldn't you.

sigh

[GOPNotForMe]

65. Mmm, grammar geeks

[Surf Cowboy]

69. Monica Bellucci. For all the reasons outlined below:

<>

[the Princess]

71. That's easy :)

Tall - light eyes - hair color optional (three of the sexiest men I have ever met in my life one was blonde - one brunette - and a redhead)

A sense of humor - passion (I love a man who likes to have heated discussions)

He must have a beard - MUST! I likes 'em fuzzy.

Most importantly - he must have some grey in his beard some lines on his face and a little extra around the middle. To me it shows this man has some experience under his belt - and that is VERY sexy.

Mr. CO Liberal fits the bill completely. He's the sexiest redhead I've ever met.

:)

[CO Liberal]

73. Garsh!!!!

:-)

Please refer to my Post #18 above.

[ScreamingMeemie]

72. MrG. My stomach still goes flippity when he walks in the room.

He has it all...MMMMmmmm. I wish he was home right now.

[WoodrowFan]

89. Mrs WoodrowFan

and most of the Playmates from 1977-1981. But mostly Mrs WF.

[HEIL PRESIDENT GOD]

74. Deborah Caprioglio

Google her. I suggest doing so with SafeSearch "off". ;)

I am very tall, pale, and thin, so short dark full-bodied women drive me crazy. My girlfriend is of Arab descent and looks a bit like the abovementioned... Her favorites are (female) Salma Hayek and (male) Eric Stoltz, Al Pacino, Liam Neeson. She is more particular physically about women--they must have large breasts--but she seems to like a range of men (though they must be tall and in no way effeminate).

[CanuckAmok]

77. Brunettes with light coloured eyes...

Sherilyn Fenn, Maggie Gyllenthall, etc.

And I'm sure all of DU knows about my bob-cut fetish.

[VOX]

81. Right there with you, CA. Dark hair w/light eyes is my major weakness...

I'll toss in a few more examples:

Sophie Marceau

Isabelle Adjani

Nastassja Kinski

And it's no accident that my wife is brunette with light green eyes. Yow! :bounce:

[SemiCharmedQuark]

78. I melt for tall, lanky/lean guys with spikey hair

I don't know when this happened, up until last year it was all about the meaty tall guys.

I like the lean look, not many muscles just...lean...

I like tall because I'm 5'8" myself and I have very straight shoulders. I feel like a monster when I stand next to my husband...plus i have a melon head.

[amazona]

82. John Cusack but he's getting too old now, sigh

I'm afraid I like the young, skinny type but I hope it's OK since I'm a woman and by "young" I mean 25 or 30 or so.

I feel that mature (older or middle-aged) men are pushed too much at women, and I have little interest in them as sex objects. Perhaps you have a similar issue with blonde, blue-eyed "babe" types being pushed at you.

Once you get to know someone, all bets are off, but I assume you are talking about immediate physical "types." In real life there is nothing like an interlocking fetish to make the sparks fly. :-)

[nutsnberries]

94. no he's not! he's perfect!

ohhhhhhh, i've got a thang for Johnny!

...photos from Black Book Magazine last year, etc, etc... ???? :9

[terrya]

83. Doug, my boyfriend.

He's sexy (in the literal sense of the word), passionate, smart, just brilliantly funny. And damn good looking, to boot.

All of that is sexy. And I've got him. :-)

[getoffmytrain]

87. Hottest women to ever live.

(not necessarily in order)

Heidi Klum

The girl from Chris Isaacks 'Wicked Games' video.

A girl I know named, Bliss... with a name like that, you know she's smokin'!

Natalie Imbruglia

Kelly Rippa (personality in a big way)

Angelina Jolie

I could go on and on...... I'll stop here.

[HEyHEY]

90. No names

But an amazing girl from Tampico Mexico. Why? Nice smile, zest for life, sense of humour...... I could go on but why? I'll just feel all cruddy

[Chovexani]

95. You!

(no sex threads, n00b!)

[happyasaclam]

97. Awwww

Thankyou. You never said why though!

I think your pretty damn sexy to! :loveya:

[melv]

100. John Kerry, baby

Tall, full head of hair, smart, sporty, great smile.

Sigh...

[gyopsy]

101. My girlfriend...

has a reddish blond hair and I think that looks pretty good.

I like blonds usually. But I've seen some pretty hot Italian girls with dark features in the past.

[chaska]

102. No shit, there's this homeless woman that I see at the library occasionall

I don't understand it. She is incredibly sexy. Not dirty or a ho. I really need to figure this out.

[chaska]

103. Attractive women can fake sexiness, but looks have nothing to do w/ it.

Either you've got it or you don't ... regardless of looks.

[qnr]

104. Sexy things

Because they're sexy.

Sorry, been watching Crusader Bunnypants too much tonight to make reasoned decisions.

[GingerSnaps]

107. Australian men

It's that manly attitude that does it for me :evilgrin:.

[LDS Jock]

108. Chris Heinz and here is why

Very handsome man, intelligent, funny (impersonates Ahhhnold), political, and OK, he has a few bucks too.

Here he is on the left. Remember, HE IS MINE!!

[bigwillq]

113. Maybe a stupid question but

[LDS Jock]

[bigwillq]

<-------------------------

[redqueen]

112. I know why...

Because his body is smokin'!

And his voice is quite nice, too.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

111. Mr. Moonbeam

because he is smart and sweet and totally hot.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

119. This is what appeals to me in a woman

I know I sound a bit shallow here, so please forgive me. Keep in mind that I am only 23 and have a lot to learn

(1) I have always considered women in their mid-30s to late 50s to be so mature, so attractive, so sexy and so appealing. This is a characteristic in my preference for women that has endured since about the time I was eight or nine years old. There is just so much about a woman in the above age bracket that appeals to me and, in fact, almost all the crushes that I have had in my lifetime have been on women from that age group. I think this may also partially be due to the fact that I have often found that I am able to relate to them on an intellectual level and I have forged a considerable number of friendships with people in that age group. People like Susan Sarandon and Beth Broderick really turn me on

(2) I’m attracted to women who are artistic and/or creative in their lifestyles and who are employed in a professional capacity -for example doctors, lawyers, teachers, librarians, female politicians, artists, businesswomen, university lecturers, professors and so on. Some of my earliest crushes were on female Senators or politicians. I am attracted to women who are intellectually enlightened, who are deeply philosophical and thoughtful in their views on life and current affairs and who are moderate in terms of their political views -I would not rule out a relationship with someone who is a conservative but she’d have to be a Nelson Rockefeller type of conservative. And I like women who are prepared to challenge the status quo in terms of views on politics and other social issues -who can help me see the other side of the story and who can debate me and perhaps change me in my way of thinking if the arguments are convincing enough

(3) I like women who are or have been professionally employed and who have a deep interest in their career. I am also attracted to women who are well-traveled (although this not a necessity) and who are willing to explore new horizons and perspectives

(4) I'm very attracted to single mothers but I also very attracted to single women and divorced women. It doesn't really matter to me

Some of my celebrity crushes include
(1) Beth Broderick
(2) Susan Sarandon
(3) Mary Kay Place
(4) Andrea Thompson
(5) Two Australian politicians who I know quite well but will not name
(6) Kim Campbell-former PM of Canada
(7) Catherine Callbeck -former Premier of Prince Edward Island (Canada)
(8) Jennifer Garner and Janel Moloney -the only two who are relatively close to my age group
(9) Sally Field

[redsoxliberal]

120. after that HR...

DAVID ORTIZ!!!!!!!!



(I am a straight guy, btw)

[clyrc]

121. Since you asked and I need to confess

I've always liked dark men, but married a pale man, for love. Then he moves me to the Middle East, on a university campus. AAAHHHH! The gorgeous dark young men in Arabic dress or even western dress, the Indians with those fantastic eyes, the Sri Lankan gardeners in the yellow suits who work all day around my apartment....they drive me wild. I go up to the student center and drool. It's probably a good thing I'm not attractive anymore. And that I'm shy. I could be the scandal of the campus if I weren't so inhibited.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

122. Men that are very physically strong and very intelligent.

I'm lucky my husband has these qualities.

[Behind the Aegis]

123. Lots of people!!!

I find lots of people sexy! I love my partner and think he is attractive and can be sexy! I also know that those feelings are because I love him so much!

I do find other people sexy. Sometimes it is physically, sometimes for other reasons. I find well-built men very sexy, especially dark-haired men! Tom Welling!!! YUM!!! And, I may be queer as a 3 dollar bill, but I find long-haired women very sexy! LUCY LAWLESS! Sometimes the attitude makes a "plain" person even more sexy. Sometimes a sexy person opens his/her mouth and then they are not as sexy!

Brightest Blessings!

[LibLover]

124. Turn-ons

Men: I love a "white collar" clean-cut looking man. Even though I dress every bit the hippie chick, mangy hippie guys do absolutely nothing for me, no matter how much we agree on politics. Unkept hair and scruffy beards are a no-no.

I love it when a man never has to raise his voice to make a point.

Strangely enough I've never been turned on by athletes. Just a "regular" body does it for me. I like men just an inch or two taller than me (5'2). Am I strange for liking short men?

Women: Hippie girls, like me! I love sitting up at three in the morning in a back booth at Denny's with a girlfriend just chatting away! :loveya:

[Still_Notafraid]

125. Definitely my wife

I am so lucky to have met the woman of my dreams,I don't even so much as glance at another woman,and i can not wait to get home from work to see her.

[Mike Niendorff]

126. wow, that's a very tough question.

I'm not even sure I could give a meaningful answer to that one.

All I really know is that "I know it when I see it" :)

127. I've got a huge crush on

one of my college instructors. She's such a total geek and not conventionally good looking, but I don't know, I just like everything about her. She's a great teacher too, very smart but not pretentious. She's 29, I'm 21, that's not too much of a stretch, is it?

On another note, I've been noticing a lot more girls have been smiling my way recently, although I figure that's because of the Kerry/Edwards button I wear. John Edwards is a chick magnet, after all.
