I was just going to answer the thread title with "being me," but since you all are having a semi-serious discussion. . . :rofl1:

The only thing I see on that list that doesn't talk about some aspect of appearance is liking animals.

My list would contain things like, must not be a bigot, must be a kind person, must like animals (especially dogs), and other things like that.
That bothers me about the list, too. I like yours better. I actually find that list kind of ridiculous. There's plenty on it that wouldn't bother me a bit.

Having doors opened is a nice touch, but when the guy will literally smack your hand away from the door handle because you had the gall to open the door for yourself because you got there first? TURN OFF. I'm not the type to stand there with my hands limply at my side. You get there first? Cool. Open away. I get there first? I will open my own d*mn restaurant door.
Drives me crazy, too. If I'm at the door first don't grumble at me because I opened it for you. I ended up having a big argument with one of my friends over this and we finally settled it with me opening doors if I got to them first and him paying for food. (I wasn't thrilled with it. :rolleyes:)

Poor hygiene - just no, take a f*cking shower, tyvm.
:hail::hail::rofl1:

I agree with this times a hundred.

but everytime he would want to kiss me I just kept thinking about what could possibly be down in that opening that he might not have caught lol
I talked with one of my friends about this once, and apparently you're supposed to just go crazy with mouthwash.

wow--very interesting. I am soooooo not about black/white decisions like if a guy wears a certain kind of underwear he is undate-able? I seriously have found that I am attracted by personality attributes--and the rest is what it is. You seriously wouldn't date a guy because he is balding? Or he has body hair? Or he wears the wrong clothes? I sure would have passed up an amazing guy if that was the case. Open your minds... see people not for their exterior, but for who they are as a person.
Of course basic things like hygiene are important.

and this has me thinking--when my aunt was young, she dated a guy who she really loved --but couldn't get over his wearing white socks with his shoes (yes, really--that is why they broke up). She ended up marrying a charming, suave, dresser and thought she was on top of the world. He ended up being a hughe jerk--they divorced and he started stalking her. Life was not good for a very long time as a result (and they had 3 kids together)..I will never forget her saying "If only I had ignored the socks..." Just food for thought.

That's a bit controlling. I wouldn' like it at all. I think baggage is the biggest turn off. You can't always see that right off like a bald head or bad teeth.

TURN OFF. I'm not the type to stand there with my hands limply at my side. You get there first? Cool. Open away. I get there first? I will open my own d*mn restaurant door.

Passive-aggressiveness is a unisex trait and it's just annoying both ways.

And bad spelling does turn me off, but I'm an English major. :lol-sign:

And MUST LOVE ANIMALS! And I mean *love*...people who just "like" dogs don't seem to get along as well because, well, I want a lot of dogs.

Ok speaking on the body hair issue...it's not the fact they HAVE body hair. It's when they start to look like Chewbacca that bothers me.

Chest hair is good, leg and arm hair, of course, I'm not big on facial hair at all though. I just don't like how it feels when you kiss, it either itches or tickles. So obviously by knowing that I've kissed someone with facial hair before, I just don't prefer it.

Back hair? Please, for hte love of God, hair isn't supposed to grow out of the back of your shirt, there are remedies for this. I told my bf I would wax that stuff off, and he's ok with that because as he said "it's not like I can reach it". Fine by me. :) Oh and having a mountain of pubes = not cool. Trim it down, shave it off, whatever but letting it grow out until you need hedge clippers isn't going to work, especially if you have any intentions on trying to convince me to...[insert un-family-friendly sexual term here] you get the picture.

Tattoos and piercings are fine by me. I have enough of each that it'd make me a hypocrite.

I'm not attracted to blondes or red heads. Would I refuse to date someone on this note...maybe. I can only think of 1 cute redheaded guy I know.

They have to love animals. My ex hates Lacey, it's been a big problem since I brought her home and caused countless fights.

They have to have some of the same interests as me. Gaming is cool, zombie movies are awesome, going out for an occasional drink is a must. My ex and I do none of those things together.

I can be picky about hair colour, I'm not into guys with red hair. I have red hair myself and it just doesn't appeal to me. I've also only met one blonde guy that I thought was drop dead gorgeous. Thankfully were mates and I get to stare whenever I want. lol

I love facial hair, so long as it suits the person.

I would love to meet someone indifferent to dogs. That just let me do my stuff with them, didn't interfere in anyway and didn't have they're own dogs going towards the households "dog limit" lol

Perfect example of my blunders. This is the baby's daddy when I first met him nearly two years ago. WHAT WAS I THINKING?

Your post made this thread.

:rofl1::rofl1::rofl1::rofl1::rofl1::rofl1::rofl1:

I would probably talk to him too.

The only kinda hair that bothers me is back hair. SO FREAKIN GROSS lol
Oh and the whole pubes, I agree with you on that too.
Facial hair doesn't bother me unless its starting to look like Santa Claus then its time to trim or shave that off buddy.
But arm, leg, chest, etc hair doesn't bother me.

I don't mind pubes at all. If you're hairy everywhere else especially your butt and leg area why the heck would you get rid of your pubes? It looks awkward.

LMAO I remember my first long term boyfriend... he had two patches on his back covered in hair. over both shoulder blades.

I had some wax that I used for my eyebrows. well he asked me if I would wax his back for him. OMG the funniest experience of my life. He was this really big body builder type guy but I swear the waxing brought him to his KNEES. was so funny

I ripped out a dreadlock... but I think that one was allowed a bit of tears. Even the manliest man would cry.
