Tall, athletic, nice eyes and smile.

Personality wise I like someone with a good sense of humour, patience, intelligence and good moral values.

Strong arms and a kind smile. A bit of humour and sparkle to the eyes. Generally is a nature/ocean geek.

Smart, stubborn men with buckets of integrity but who are also quite wild. I wish I went for solid dependable types but they're just so boring.

Physically in terms of who catches my eye, tall with broad shoulders and strong arms. But for me to actually fall for someone, looks don't really come into it and it's more about a combination of kindness and confidence.

In terms of what kinds of men tend to like me - I seem to attract black men (I'm white) and autistic guys (I'm not autistic). I don't really know why!

Used to be consistently emotionally stunted with an inability to tolerate intimacy. My ex husband wanted someone at home to look after him but didn't want to actually be at home most of the time. Have now progressed to someone that actually enjoys my company and meets me halfway in a relationship. So I'd say my taste has changed!

I like short men - preferably no taller than 5'6. Preferably with dark hair. Dark curly hair especially. Don't mind if they're bald but prefer them to have had dark hair. Like a bit of a 'dad bod' - find muscles unappealing but like a bit of definition on the arms.

Creative, quiet and a bit quirky. Quiet confidence - not arrogant. Intelligent and well read. Bit nerdy.

Physically I have no type at all, you could put all my ex's, flings and one night stands in a room and would see a completely diverse group of men and women.

Personality wise I appear to go for abusive knobheads.

I seem to have managed to break the mould with current DP, finally.

Over 6 ft, skinny or slender, eccentric, intellectuals. Usually men who are quite volatile and unusual. A full head of hair is a must. I'm currently going through a continental phase which seems to be working out.

Massive cliche. Dark hair, significantly taller than me, nice eyes.

Also up until last year apparently they also had to be an utter wanker in order for me to be even remotely interested, although I seem to have finally branched out and broken that trend with DP.

I have a type in that my friends and family can easily point out a bloke and say he’s ‘my type’ looks wise and they’re nearly always right, but my exes are nothing alike.
Ex 1 - 6’6”, lean, blond, blue eyes, all high cheekbones and chiselled jaw, personal trainer so all interests revolved around the gym and sports. Educated to masters level.
Ex 2 - 5’10”, built like a brick shithouse, black hair, brown eyes, big old square head and hands like shovels, played rugby (funnily enough) but all interests were cars and engines etc. Went to Agricultural college.
Husband - 5’11”, brown hair, blue eyes, medium built, eat sleep breathe farms, cows and tractors 😂 finished school at 14 and started his own business. He’s fantastic in every way and we fit perfectly.

My two exes were both prone to jealousy and controlling behaviour, altho ex 2 was outright abusive with his. I suppose that’s a similarity but DH has none of those tendencies at all
