Anyone taller than me. Which left me very slim picking!

Geeks - still my type now!

Boy in a band, but not the frontman, piercings and the odd tattoo but nothing extreme, always dark haired, little bit brooding.

Dark-haired skinny arty geek. I married a skinny arty geek with lighter hair, no longer skinny! Grin

I always fancied guys that turned out to be gay. Don't know what that means. Chris Lowe from Pet Shop Boys was my biggest crush, such a beautiful man.

Ones who'd been dead at least three hundred years. Cavaliers for me!

Boys with Longer hair or curtains lol

HettyWainty · 08/10/2023 07:44

Ones that had no interest in me whatsoever 😄

Posh boys with curtains, and ideally carrying a copy of Hamlet.

Boys in a band

Anyone who showed an interest in me (I was an ugly child)

The popular football playing pretty boys, from late primary school through to early high school, then alternative skater boys, with their floppy hair and vans!
From early- mid 20s onwards though, it has mostly been men dressed smartly with athletic physiques.

I'd always been attracted to confident rebellious types....had to grow up and knock that one on the head though, as I knew they wouldn't be good 'settling down' material, and that I needed someone more mature and sensitive by my side to feel genuinely secure and happy.DH is the perfect fit :)

Now I just see those sort of people as annoyingly arrogant!
