Odd partner preferences?

Post Reply New Topic

Do you have odd preferences in a partner? Though I have never been in a relationship, I have odd preferences? For example, I find men who are lanky, rather than muscular attractive. Even weirder (and this is a really weird one), I am attracted to men who bite their nails! Not that they NEED to, I just think it makes them more attractive. Strange, I know, but true.

Do you guys have any?

From what people say about the people I am attracted to I must. I know it is odd for a young woman to be attracted to men much older than her. I don't like traditional Brad Pitt type guys. I like guys with an eye-catching feature that contrasts w/ the rest of them. Also I like shy guys, but not ones that are too shy to talk to me. I guess that the insecurity is cute. Eyeliner is also good.

Political persuasion is disproportionately important to me. I'd like a partner who is a civic nationalist, eurosceptic, in favour of slightly more social control to counter crime, and against austerity measures lacking even more in results than they are in common sense. I'd probably discuss politics so often, I'd need someone who won't be able to disagree with me enough to spend hours arguing instead of doing something (re)productive.

Well a girl wearing glasses is my kryptonite

Other than that I do oddly find women who are trained in boxing or some kind of martial arts attractive.

I also prefer women who wear little to no make up. In fact no make up is the best.

Braces, I don't know why, but braces.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder!
DO I have odd preferences? Perhaps, the issue here is that I dont consider them odd, is it odd that I prefer a girl who is clever enough to engage in hours long philosophical debate without getting board. Its the old brains over beauty for me (among other things) but I dont consider that odd at all.

No conscious odd preferences, just the usual TLC, honest, loyal, GSOH stuff........I just finished reading a book on compatibility, and was surprised how few items on their lists mattered much to me. My preferences seem to be skewed towards security, but again, at my age that's hardly odd.

I seem to like intelligence in a partner.....maybe that's weird if you believe this thing about men finding female intelligence a threat?

I suppose my "no mainstreamers" policy is a tad unusual. I don't even notice it much consciously, but I guess I have pretty much screened mainstreamers out, or maybe it's just them that don't like me.

Let's see, what else puts me off a woman as a potential partner?

Personality too fluffy and glrlie.
Clothing too sexualised in public.
Adherence to mainstream fashion standards, makeup, shoes, etc.
Judgemental or dismissive, weak on compassion.
Politically right-wing.
Careerist, too much emphasis on work ethic and getting ahead.
Porn feminist, girl-power etc.
Disinterest in me.
Alcohol or other dangerous drug dependency.

I don't see much there that's odd. A tad quaint in parts, but why not?

Strange thing is, although my conscious preferences don't seem extreme, the partners I've ended up with have been.

Looking back at all the female protagonists I've thought up for stories, a lot of them seem to be powerful matriarchs---queens, military leaders, and presidents. I guess I like women who are leaders.

I must have to end up with rabbit.

Lol I'm not sure if I can say this... but I tend to be attracted to men from a certain culture that's different from mine =) (what, it's their personality, I swear!)

I prefer women who are clingy, needy, dependent, have anxiety issues, have other emotional issues, are less intelligent/different than the mainstream definition of smart, awkward. I'm like that myself thou & get along a lot better with people who are more relatable.
