What kind of person do you go for? Do you have specific preferences that someone must have? What about looks? Are there specific body types that you will or won't go for? What attracts you to someone?

My body seems to go for the tall, broad-shouldered jocks.
My brain goes for the humor, wit, intelligence
and integrity.

I would not rule anyone out for how they look.
The package is never as important at the
person inside.

I don't really have a type. I have some preferences, but when it comes down to it, those don't matter much as long as I like the guy.

I know others have very specific preferences or types, though.

I know huh.
I think it keeps them from falling in love.

I've read profiles that have a longer list of what they don't want, rather than what they do want. On one hand, I know not to contact them when I don't fit into their type, but on the other, I have to wonder if that's working for them.

I'm not a skinny girl, so that's often a type that some men don't like.

I know that some women do the same thing, though. Some have height restrictions and things like that.

Anyway, that's not to say having a type is bad. What works for some may not work for others. I was just curious about what people were attracted to.

I think a lot of newbs list
preferences that go on forever.
Might as well, right?
Ask for the moon.
Then, few connections.
Then, why, oh why me?

The thing is, people rarely see
themselves as others see them.
Expecting magic and perfection
in one package seems unrealistic
to me.

I would rather leave all options
open.
For the gift that arrives one day :-)

Tall, sexy, witty, charming blonde men. I like someone that can keep me on my toes. Make me laugh, 'tis very hard to.

Yep.

It's hard to make you laugh? Not many guys are able to figure out how to do that?

A physical preference has always been dark hair and eyes and some facial hair. But at my age, most men's hair have naturally turned light...or should I say white But there is a gentleman who has blueish/green eyes that can mesmerize me from across the table But the TYPE of guy I'm attracted to: Intelligent and funny and can keep up with me in conversation.

Ehh, I giggle. I'm a normally cheery/bubbly person but its hard to make me really out of control laugh. No guy can do it. Least not yet. I don't think teasing and insulting me counts either. Someone like Seth Rogan, that kind of humor I dig.

I prefer someone who makes me feel loved and safe.

Attraction is important, but there are so many things I'm attracted to that I'd never try to narrow it down and have any requirements.

I do prefer someone close to my age or a bit younger.

Someone with a good sense of humor is a must as well.

Other than that? It will just depend on the guy.

I tend to be with/get along with older or younger men. Its like that every time. I can't seem to get along with my peers like I like.

My mom is the exact same way. She won't go out with a man resembling my dad, not even if he was nice respectable gent.

I can get along with older men, just not so into dating them.

I can't date or go out with a man who could be my father. Not into the 20year older ones. My cut off is more like 8 years older.

I'd give someone a chance if they were probably under 40, if we really hit it off. Though, I've never dated anyone who was more than a couple years older than me.

brainy and kind with integrity, decency, honor and compassion.

I don't give a rat's azz about the shell that carries them around.

Tall, attractive, intellectual and respectful with a good sense of humor
