I have a thing about hands, I guess I like big strong hands and they power they symbolize... that may sound a little wierd but that's just me. Necks are another thing, they just seem oddly sexy to me I guess.

That goes without mentioning all the other amazing things about men : )

I generally prefer men over women, they're straightfoward like me, but they balance out my oversensitivities. And they are USUALLY non-drama oriented - unlike girls. And if there's an awkward silence, they usually don't feel the need to fill it which is perfect for me.

Being attracted to power isn't that weird. I myself am pretty proud to have dated a girl who has beat the hell out of a guy who was 6'4" and like 300lbs, is the only person at her job that can lift a flat of sodas without whining (she could lift 3 at a time). What part of the neck are we talking? The lower neck seems a very attractive part of a guy to me...I may be biased on that one from lifting weights and having built up some damn nice traps.

Yeah, most girls like "sensitive guys," and although that is nice, when it all comes down to it, I like powerful dudes. And whomever that girl is that you're talking about, that's pretty awesome; I'm about 4'11" (very, very small,) but I always have to prove myself instead of looking "helpless and small." At my old job, whenever I had to take down some heavy boxes I hated asking for help even though I could have been easily crushed.

As for the neck... I don't know really. The lower neck is DEFINITELY attractive if the guy is muscular, but when guys cock their necks to the side, I don't know it's just super sexy.

Being tough and sensitive aren't mutually exclusive either. My ex is ironically 4'11". She was 180lbs but her legs were more solid than mine are (and I squat 300lbs, which isn't easy with my long legs). She had broader shoulders as well. It's ironic I was actually probably the physically girlier of the two of us.

You are correct - I agree. I'm just saying that when I first meet a guy I'm more attracted to the power persona, to balance out the helplessness I feel from being puny. I have very little athletic ability so even if I lift weights and sh** I'll probably still be small, but I'm okay with that. When I get to know a guy a little better, that's when I find vulnerability attractive.

However, I can see myself being attracted to "angry sex," that's what I meant when I said "when it all comes down to it." But I cannot be sure :?

actually, that's a general thing, I really like that in general women are much more okay with physical affection (in platonic as well as romantic contexts) and touching than guys are, a hug is much better than a handshake for greeting a friend after not seeing them for a while


Hugging always weirds me out, and it's only annoying because I'm expected to be okay with it. Why can't people stop assuming things and just shake my hand like a normal person? :x


I see your point, I actually have the opposite thing, my sensory issues make handshakes feel really weird (either because it's light touch, or because they try to crush my hand) but hugging feels very nice. Course, girlfriend hugs feel even nicer.

Ditto. Not to over-generalize, but the majority of my best friends are female.

Probably better that you start the other way around for your own safety but who am I to judge? You might always be small but it's more density than size that makes strength.

Angry sex isn't bad as long as you don't mind the lack of positive emotions in it. The best sex I've ever had I would have never had if I didn't have angry sex with that person in the past because me being angry meant me, the more creative of the two of us took control and did stuff I thought I would like and didn't really give a damn if she liked it or not...but she did!

I actually am tougher than I look :wink:
LOL, But you're probably right; I've heard the first time is mostly awkward, but I really wouldn't know. Just knowing my likes and dislikes, I just think that's what I would be attracted to. And of course, being creative is always good :lol:

I like men because I can understand them. NT or no, they are far more likely to "shoot from the hip, in my opinion.
I would say cuddling, though technically I can do that with anyone.

I love my hubby's sense of humor, he makes me feel important, he understands me.

Anytime we fall on our faces by taking something literally it's an assburger moment.

I think you have this confused with a "What you want in the opposite sex?" thread.

I like that men are direct, and they don't have a problem saying what they think. They also laugh well.
