So In terms of a good ratio of nose to upper lip and some strong arms and thick thighs, I present, Joaquin Phoenix as Commodus in Gladiator. Totally creepy, totally wrong, but so sexy.

MotherofGorgons · 23/07/2023 04:47

Heh totally loving your tweets @TRexTara though I am not a fan of thick thighs myself.

Oh but why not? Do you like them long and lean babe?

TRexTara · 23/07/2023 04:58

I think Vikings are your type?

I like a chubby body and really kind personality. Looks have no effect on me at all. DH is exactly the right person for me, not good looking, chubby, absolutely lovely and kind.

Toomanysquishmallows · 23/07/2023 05:08

I’m not keen on the shaved head , gym body look , dp has a ponytail.

TRexTara · 23/07/2023 05:16

Men with ponytails interfere a lot. It's not for me.

MotherofGorgons · 23/07/2023 05:19

Yes I like them long and lean!

DeeCeeCherry · 23/07/2023 05:26

Under 6ft tall, good looking, kind, big D, not a gym bod, not a Tory, knows his way around a toolbox, likes a wander/rummaging around charity shops, ok with not living together. DP is exactly the right one for me

Yes! That's perfection for me too!

Clingymcclang · 23/07/2023 09:17

Someone with visible imperfections - eg a scar or a dodgy eye. Couldn’t be doing with the boring symmetry of Brad Pitt. Which is fortunate as he’s unlikely to fancy me either….

FrivolousTreeDuck · 23/07/2023 09:20

I like thin men. My husband (5'8) weighs 7 1/2 stoneSmile. Possibly an element of my living vicariously.

samestyle · 23/07/2023 09:49

Someone lazy lol don't want an action packed day with dog walks, skiing, travelling etc, more car to restaurant or laying on a beach.

BackAgainstWall · 23/07/2023 10:10

Kindness, intelligence and wit.

The ability to communicate well is also very important to me.

Looks would be secondary, and I have found in the past that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and if they have the above, their looks actually can become very attractive.

ShakeYourFeathers · 23/07/2023 11:08

Someone who doesn't have a very high sex drive.

Someone who knows how to just chill like @samestyle I don't want someone who's always on the go and it's exhausting.

Crikeyalmighty · 23/07/2023 11:16

@NuffSaidSam me too- and I'm married!!!

847arc · 23/07/2023 11:24

An encyclopaedic general knowledge ability, if he’s winning the pub quiz I’m interested.

something2say · 23/07/2023 11:27

LET ME DIVE IN - I'll leave that cap lock on lol!!

Tall and heavily built - hairy and muscle - yum f'ing yum.

A musician - someone who will tolerate the fact that I live and breathe music - I will get up now and start noodling on my guitar - at some point I'll make more coffee and then food, but if he were sitting there noodling, going 'Listen to this!' and we could go from music project to project, and then out for a walk, and then to a gig, and sit there together like two happy peas in a pod, and then come home and have long loving sex - perfect.

I also like a man who can do practical things, because I was abused and the roof fell in, so if you have a man who can mend the roof, you will always be safe.

Animal lover. Very gentle but very manly and can make me have multiple orgs PIV - thank you universe.

HerbertChops · 23/07/2023 11:31

Always found men in suits with office jobs a massive turn off, they never seemed like real men to me. I always wanted tradesmen, especially if they were a bit chunky.

Carrotcake93 · 23/07/2023 11:46

It may sound strange, but I like slightly crooked teeth. I don't like it when they're so perfectly aligned, it feels fake to me.

Also I don't like light eyes for a man either. I'm light-eyed and objectively I love to see light-eyed eyes, but I'm just not attracted to light-eyed men.

Capitulatingpanda · 23/07/2023 11:57

Someone who loves going to gym and loves to talk about going to the gym, send technique videos on insta and funny gym memes.

Jewelanemone · 23/07/2023 12:01

I have a thing for slightly overweight bikers in leather trousers and biker boots. They have to be overweight, though. Can't stand skinny men.

SamW98 · 23/07/2023 12:06

I like builder types, bit rough round the edges and with a dad bod.

Any gym bunnies or someone who loves hiking kayaking or paddle boarding is a swipe left

pendleflyer · 23/07/2023 12:24

TRexTara · 23/07/2023 03:58

I'm a very important to me that he has a short upper lip to nose ratio. I went against this once and then regretted it.

Let's go back to your childhood?

Help me please.
Term "dad bod" seems to be used a fair bit on here.
What's it mean?
