I don't know. I really don't.
I guess I do have a type, but most of the guys I've dated/crushed haven't matched up. Some features and qualities just happen to converge in magical ways, even if in theory they're not exactly my first choice mix. Some very special people make it extremely easy to accept and appreciate them just as they are (and on occasion, that happens to be unemployed and flakey, lolz).
In 34 years, only one dude came really close to my comprehensive, on-paper ideal. In fact, I think he met and exceeded every category minimum on my man-wishlist. This was both amazing and highly ironic, considering that he actually WAS missing some features that *everyone* takes for granted and most people would consider vital in a mate if they stopped to think about it. But I didn't care. In fact, I didn't really notice. And when I did, it wasn't in disappointment.
Anyway, if I had to state my general ideal, I'd say it'd be a cocky, funny, crazy-intelligent, well-spoken, articulate, extremely well-educated, kind, outgoing, well-adjusted, reliable, slightly older guy. Balding with very short hair. I haven't given much thought to coloring. I tend to like blue-eyed men with blond-to-brown hair. Strong features, but not too craggy. Toned and a bit muscley, but not too bulky. Tallish, six feet or so. Good taste, dresses well, but not too fussy. Has interests, passions, pursuits, and artistic sensibilities. Confident. Maybe even kinda fearless. But gentle and sensitive. Someone who's in touch with his inner child but isn't afraid to take on a bit of a parental role when my inner girl needs reinforcement. Someone stable but NOT boring.
I guess the bottom line is that I desire someone who is both interesting and interested. Severe mutual physical attraction is ideal, although precisely what I'll find attractive is hard to anticipate. Further, I need someone who respects me, finds me fun, and thinks I'm brilliant. Someone who will worship me like I worship him. Someone who will love me and make me his priority in life. Someone with whom I can fall in love again and again, every day of my life.
As for the sexual side of things, heh. I'm kind of like Anais Nin's Elena. I yearn to lose myself in someone, sorta.
