Eh, I wouldn't turn myself down, but I'd certainly not go out of my way to hit on me. I'm not really my type.

On Fire!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I don't like my body type at all. I thought I was unattractive to everyone until my girlfriend proved me wrong

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There's always someone for everyone.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

It took me almost 30 years to learn that lesson but yeah.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That definitely is the case with me (say in around 70% of cases?).

I think in my mind, people that are my type = attractive. I want to be attractive. Therefore, my ideal look = the body type I am attracted to. Thankfully, I have almost achieved my ideal "look" or whatever.

So yeah, I do look like people I have sex with usually.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

That is exactly my line of thinking.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My husband and I have been mistaken for brothers before so... Yeah

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm an androgynous twink who is into bears. There is no overlap

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm a bear into androgynous twinks. There is also no overlap

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Thinking about it more, there is one area of overlap: the genitals 😆

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I'm not turned on by my bits, but I definitely like my butt (and other peoples butts)

[–] [email protected] 62 points 2 days ago (1 children)

not anymore, my wife made me get a haircut

on the plus side, I now look more like someone she would have sex with

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Something tells me she knew what she was doing with making you get a haircut

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 days ago

she did, which is why I listened when she told me it was time

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think I kinda did ten or fifteen years ago, but I'm a bear/dad now and I'm much more into rugged women than rugged men. My taste in men runs twink-ish, usually.

My wife has aged similarly though, which very much works for me.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

That's fair, My taste in men also leans more towards twinks, and currently I look kind of twink-y. But maybe if I keep gaining weight and muscle, while I don't think I'll end up looking "bad", maybe I'll stop being my type.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Nope, with same gender folk I find they usually have something striking or unusual in their appearance and I'm far too normal middle of the road looking to fit that.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

No

I have a type. I'm not that type.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

I would totally fuck me.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I'm super cute, generally a mess, and emotionally unavailable.

I'm definitely my type.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Pretty sure I dated you for a couple weeks last month.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I miss you <3

(Seriously you're better off without them!)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

That's the attitude!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

No, I like both men and women with dark hair/eyes/complexion and I look the complete opposite. I definitely have a type. Oddly, my brother, though straight, has the same preferences in women and he and I look alike.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)
[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not gay but I have sex with my arm regularly

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

Yeah but I'm thinking about someone else's arm.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago (2 children)

In that case... go fuck yourself!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

No. I have a type and I'm not it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Yeah. I'm definitely my type

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

yeah I would find someone like me decently attractive. but I still find myself repulsive when I look in the mirror lmao.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

No. Perhaps similar features but I'd want someone a bit different.
