I catch myself considering "unattractive to most other guys" itself to be an attractive quality. If someone is objectively attractive, I immediately think: "She either has a boyfriend or she will have one very soon, and he'll be more attractive than me."

Last year, I was a tutor in a two-days course for freshmen. One of the participants was a girl with a walking disability. She seemed surprised that I treated her like anyone else, because she apparently experiences discrimination by others. She was much more friendly to me than other people are, though all I did was helping her about a computer problem, which was my job.

Of course, I didn't hit on her while I was her tutor, and she might be too young anyway. But among all the people I know, she is the one on whom my chances may be best. I don't really have an opportunity to see her any more, though.

When I showed a pic of my latest date to two friends separately (one male and one female) they both commented she looks "Old" for me, OLD?! she's 28 and doesn't look older than 28.

"Out of your league" is probably what they meant with that.

Being young looking as an adult male is an insult these days I've noticed.

Being into the latest book/movie/show craze

A lot of people seem to love going through the whole we have to watch this show because tv critics say its the best there is and I just find it a bit off-putting.
Most people have no personal reason to see this shows, other than its what everyone is watching and i want to be involved in the conversations at work/whatever

I do follow some of the "in" shows but mostly because I looked into them and gave them a chance.

No, I dont need to go over page 30 of 50 shades of grey to point out that it wasnt meant to be published at the beginning and little changes were made before publishing(copyright issues) and no I dont need to watch several hour long episodes of the latest tv show that is in to decide wether it is for me or not.

I was going to post something similar. I don't like muscle. A little is fine, but no more than that. I even prefer men who are slightly overweight to it. I'm not attracted to skinniness at all, or big.

As for what I like - I adore shy, timid men (who like people) but they hate me when I open up and they realise how (unintentionally) blunt I am.

And ah... I so hate these latest eyebrows trends: Thick eyebrows, tattooed eyebrows, devil-like eyebrows....

THEY'RE FREAKY UGLY, STOP DOING THEM GIRLS! YOU LOOK LIKE COCKROACHES WITH THEM!

It's ok to pluck some hair excess but keep them f**** natural.

Perhaps this is un-American of me to say, but conspicuous consumption just disgusts me. I like a guy to be stable financially and able to take care of his basic living expenses, but beyond that, money really doesn't do much for me.

I tend to find quiet guys really attractive. And glasses on a guy can look really good (if they're simple--I don't like the thick plastic frames). I also agree with what blueroses said about disliking conspicuous consumption.

Likes - personality
Introverted and peaceful, but also lively. (I believe a person could be at once introverted and lively)
Mysterious, but not creepy.
Intelligent. Seeker of knowledge and wisdom.
Compassionate and nice. These are essential. What's the point of being in a relationship if they're going to be mean to you 24/7.
Somebody who isn't afraid to be themselves. Genuine.
Respectful. Modest.
A bit of a geek. An art geek or computer geek.

Likes - appearance
Short hair. Hair can be any color, but I usually prefer dark brown or auburn.
Not a twig, and not too muscular. Somebody shouldn't look as if they eat nothing, but they shouldn't look like they work out too much either.
Glasses. They are cute.
There's also a type of face I think suits certain people, but I can't wrap my thoughts on it. A certain nose and mouth shape.

Dislikes - personality
Dishonesty. People who lie to themselves AND other people.
Too much confidence. I can't stand when people show blatant confidence. Stuck-up confidence is an automatic turn-off.
Somebody who's too 'socially normal' and extroverted. Certain extroversion is good, but too much of it is overwhelming. Too much of a follower of -in-style- as well.
Somebody who tries to 'blend in' and could care less if somebody was being excluded and / or bullied.
Somebody who obviously fishes for attention to attract others. Not lonely people, but just overall people who are lacking in the modesty department.
as*hole.

Dislikes - appearance
Sweaty. Some people seem to like this, but it's not very appealing to me.
Too much muscle.
Too skinny.
That's all.

I like a bigger nose on a guy. I also like a guy who's been introverted, shy or had no luck with girls before - it's nice to feel like I see something nobody else can.

I was gonna say the same thing. Guys with too much money are actually turn-off for me.

I concur.

Actually I concur with a lot of the responses.

The typical "hot guy" or "tough guy" look. You know when they purposely do their hair with gel or clothes in a certain way to appear either "tough" or "sexy" - sometimes it really annoys me. Also I do not want to be with a dude that has to put gel in his hair otherwise he refuses to leave the house (yes, I actually know a few like this, it drives me nuts).

I really just prefer them straight out of the shower with no gel and casual clothes - the natural and wholesome look, it's just so much cuter.
Also: you can actually touch their hair and it feels good, and you do not have to wait for them to get ready.

Interestingly i have the same dislike of gel, but was not gifted with docile hair. I've found a small touch of pomade on hair after a shower to be enough to not look like a bum yet not have spiked hard hair.

I hate Gel in hair too. I want to play in it, not get stuck in it. :)

My husband has crooked teeth, especially by american standards. I freakin love his smile though. I think I like the fact that NOONE has his mouth, and it's asymmetrical.

I also love a bit of pooch on my guys. If I can't lay on you & be comfy, there's a problem.

On page 1 alone, I could really relate to an attraction to pale skin and shyness. Also, I don't know what all the hate is about "gingers" / redheads, I love 'em. :) There was a period of time when I was younger that they were all that I liked, but my tastes have broadened considerably since then. :)
