What do you find attractive?

One type I'm not attracted to is the hunzo hyper sexual look, some girls can pull it off but they still wouldn't be my type. Most of them are just hideous looking though, lip fillers or whatever they do, it looks manky.

They think they look sexy and sultry with all that pouting but really they just look like desperate, cheap skanks.

I was on a dating site last night and I thought about this thread. i don't think i have a type. I can't name anything that I'm specifically attracted to. It's more like I have list of things that annoy me. So for example when i see a profile where every photo has a snapchat filter, that's a huge turn off.

I tend to like funny, smart women. Niceness is very important. They have to be a very genuine, very nice person.

Pretty face, happy\positive attitude, smart and kind.

Pretty face. Nice eyes and nice smile, who isn't attracted to that?. I've met all types of women of varying ages and body types. But if they're pretty I'm generally attracted.

Happy\Positive. I don't like being around miserable or moany people, it sucks the life out of me. People who just go about their lives in a positive way, no drama, no arguing, no complaining, just making the best of things and trying enjoy life are like little rays of sunshine and I want to be in the sunshine!

Smart. Everyone probably says smart in the context of what they'd like in a partner but it's quite attractive when you meet someone who you know is switched on. There's probably an ego thing in that in terms of you see yourself as smart so it validates that when a smart person want's to be in your company. But life is about learning and growing and the prospect of having someone smart to talk with and plan and experience life is very appealing.

And kindness. Probably sounds cliche but actual genuinely kind people aren't very common in my experience. I don't mean someone who's nice, friendly, likes puppies and wouldn't hurt a fly. I mean people for whom being considerate, helpful and generous are actually part of who they are instead of people who view those things as extra effort that detract from their ability to be happy and that to be that way is to be taken advantage of.

Sense of humour, a good heart, a good mind.

Someone who isn’t psycho.

Us women need to be kinder to each other

I like women with great legs and arse, love women who look good in yoga pants or jeggings or what ever they are called. I guess because I am into sports and keeping fit I like women who are into sports, don't mind getting sweaty. Love redheads and women who have pubes.

I wouldn't be able to pinpoint what I find attractive, it could be anything really. Everyone has different qualities that heighten other qualities about them. I wouldn't be able to say that I have a type or anything like that.

take everything

Women that are quiet, reserved, confident, funny.
Dark hair, usually.
Curvy or athletic I don't really mind.
Beautiful but not in any conventional, cookie-cutter, modern sense of what's beautiful. Which paradoxically means a lot more woman than the likes of Kim Kardashian etc.

But personality is very important.
Someone who is confident in themselves and not trying to fix a man or other horse****e like that. And none of that Beyonce independent woman rubbish either. Real confidence I mean.

Preferably someone who eschews social media completely and can see through the ****e that women get told every day of their lives.

Someone who isn't into makeup or jewellery (for some reason I can't help seeing that as another insecurity for women, sorry).

And a woman who can laugh at herself is very attractive.

Edit: kindness, thoughtfulness as mentioned above.

Essentially, I would say the antithesis of Kim Kardashian.

Women need to stop injecting fillers into their lips/cheeks and doing that silly pouting thinking it makes them look sexy. It doesn't and there is no kind way to say that. Well, the kindest I can come up with is that they look absolutely ridiculous. You have very attractive women who ruin their looks and yes, they do end up looking cheap and desperate and coupled with heavy "glam" makeup, they scream skanky, rather than sexy.

Have you seen the state of yer one in Little Mix? Tulisa ruined herself. Cheryl looked like a really bad lookalike in her new video but seems to have had them dissolved. And they're doing that younger and younger. Cosmetic enhancements used to be for middle age but now we have early 20's injecting every sort of sh!te into their face. This is one of those cases where honesty is more important than kindness and they need to be told that they are making themselves look worse, not better. If this continues we'll have teenagers doing the same. Oh wait....Kylie Jenner.

Kylie Jenner is now a billionaire as a result of her surgeries. Naïve girls and women are going out buying her lipsticks thinking they'll give them a pout like hers. It's sad really.

She is probably a millionaire but she is nowhere near billionaire status. Kris Jenner threw that out there but would't provide any evidence. Kris needs a good slap. All that surgery has aged Kylie. She's only turned 21 but looks way older.

"Desperate, cheap and skanky" are a hell of a lot more of a moral value judgement than "that looks bad/ridiculous".

But seeing as honesty is kinder and you're only looking out for them, you have of course been so brutally honest with people in your life who are into that? Or are you just being kind to celebrities who don't know you exist by slagging off their appearance on the internet?

Girls or Women who follow Kylie and buy her products know full well it's fillers she uses, they follow her ffs and she talks openly about it! (granted she didn't at first but she has since copped to it) If the randos on the "what do you find attractive" thread on boards.ie know she's had fillers of course the people who subscribe to her social media know :rolleyes:

She made the Forbes list of wealthiest celebrities tied with Jay Z with fortunes of $900 million.

Of course her followers know, I didn't say that in my post :rolleyes:

Young girls know she had lip fillers but that doesn't stop them going out buying her products thinking they'll give them a bit more of a pout than a normal lipstick.

Does it get windy up there on your high horse? Seriously. Why so touchy? My opinion is not going to affect your life (or anyone else's) in any way. It's just that. An opinion. And no. I wouldn't be so callous as to say that to someone in real life. There is a time and a place for honesty and if I can't be honest about attractiveness, on a thread dedicated to attractiveness, where can I?

but sure that's not unique to Kylie or any other brand! She's no more despicable than any other makeup or fashion brand, but she gets some amount of vitriol directed at her.

Anyway that's all completely OT

Forbes just guess at people's worth. They've admitted themselves they don't have access to people's bank accounts. Loads of celebs who've appeared on the list have said they would love to be worth as much as Forbes claims

Other makeup brands don't usually have someone with lip fillers modelling their lipstick so yeah it is unique to have someone with lip fillers selling lipstick.

Anyway, on-topic I don't find plastic surgery attractive.

Annnnywaaaaay.....

I was just reminded that I like glasses on men. It's not a pre-requisite though, I don't have any set in stone preferences for looks. I just like someone smart enough to enjoy talking to and fun enough not to take themselves too seriously.

I think its sad that young women, any person in fact, go to such lengths to alter their appearance. To say they are desperate skanks though just seems very cruel to me.

Woah there! I'm just responding to what you said. Your opinion doesn't affect me but since you put it out there and I also had a (differing) opinion I didn't think it too outrageous to ask a couple of questions.

Of course you can be honest, please continue to honestly express your opinions and maybe honestly discuss them rather than reacting with all hostility and no content when someone disagrees.

I'd respectfully suggest that since your last several posts have been similar reactions to posters querying you sh1tting all over the appearance and behaviour of reality celebrities who you for some reason know quite a bit about, you may not want to throwing accusations of touchiness and high horsiness around so easily tbh.

Plus, those specs could be hiding that he's actually a superhero.

My bf has good teeth and dimples. His dimples were the first thing I that ever drew me to him. He also has good hair, it’s really thick and a lovely chestnut brown colour. So those seem to be the objective traits I’m drawn to. My friends say my type is “cutesy boy men”.. a nice cute face on a manly body!
I’m not bi but can appreciate a good looking woman. I wouldn’t be a fan of blondes despite being one myself. I think Gemma Khan is gorgeous and am extremely envious of anyone with similar features

Oh my God. Dimples! How'd I forget dimples!

Tall, dimples, kind eyes and I'm sold!
