But that's not what you're asking, is it? But even physically, I think I subconsciously look for those things. The way they make eye contact, their posture, their body movements. Expressive eyes really catch my attention.
And that uniqueness translates physically, especially with women. That quirky eclectic look turns me on more than her actual physical features. A gorgeous woman with long flowing hair in a slinky gown is a lot less likely to attract my attention than the same woman in an oversized cat print shirt, funky leggings, and half of her head shaved.
Without that unique touch though, there are still things that turn me on, especially with men. Tall, lean guys, with long blond hair or dark curly hair, always get a second glance. I don't think it's on purpose, but my dad is tall and blond, so I bet there's something to that. I also grew up on 80's hair bands, so I'm sure that's an influence. I'm not sure where the dark curly hair attraction comes from, except for the fact that I love to play with hair, and curly makes it even more interesting. That being said, something about short guys turns me on too, I think because it's uncommon, back to that uniqueness thing. Plus, I'm short, so nearly everyone is taller than me anyway. And even though I like lean guys, muscular men have really been catching my eye lately. Not like the body builder type, but strong is good. Must be my hormones kicking in.
So, I like a certain type, except when I don't, lol. I can't always predict what will make me attracted to someone.
