Poll: For the girls of the escapist (or gay guys)

[Phasmal]

I dunno, normal guys?
Not too androgynous not too masculine. Somewhere in the middle. I guess closer to masculine? But I'm not into `blokey` type dudes.
Though if the dude uses `alpha male` or `emasculated` seriously in a sentence, then he's automatically not sexy to me.

Some of these responses make me wish I had a close up of myself with a "How you doin'?" look.

(Bi girl here.) As a teenager my type (for guys) was definitely feminine/androgynous. As I grow older I'm starting to appreciate facial hair and a broader body figure, although I still go wild for longer hair on guys.

Sorta the same here. I used to prefer skinnier guys when I was younger, but now that I'm older I'm more attracted to athletic figures and more masculine features. Maybe being in the army had something to do with that.

I have always thought, thought, that guys start too look a lot better as they get into their late 20's and 30's. I'm not really that attracted to men who look very young (I don't think I ever had a single crush on a boy in high school).

Is that you in your profile picture? If so, I like your hair. You ought to get that close up.

Here's the best I have, a year old picture I use whenever asked for one. Since I don't have a camera or get my picture taken often.

Spoiler

Hurray for blurry pictures!

My hair's longer now and I have some facial hair.

 

[GTwander]

Poll needs an option of "I'm straight, and just testing the waters".

 

[ManimalR]

I'm a gay guy and I prefer masculine men, I don't mind more feminine looking guys but they just don't do as much for me

 

[EeveeElectro]

None of those options really, I just like a guy to be 'normal'
I don't like gym buffs who spend more time flexing in front of the mirror or time at the gym instead of anything else.
I don't like girly or effeminate who wear more make-up than me either. I like them to be hygienic, washing, brushing their teeth and I don't mind hair gel or moisturiser.

Nothing against guys that want to wear more make-up than most women, I just personally think it looks awful.

 

[Geo Da Sponge]

Okay, I'm a guy and I couldn't choose between effeminate guy and androgynous guy, because as far as I can tell a guy who looks effeminate is androgynous... But either's good really.

As a guy who's bisexual-with-a-male-preference[footnote]Think pretty much gay but I still happen to have a small desire for pussy every now and then[/footnote], I'd have to say I'm more into androgynous or effeminate men rather than uber-manly men. Overly masculine guys just... don't do anything for me, and a very muscular build is more of a turn off rather than a turn on.

Yeah, I'm with this guy.

No seriously, I mean... I'm with this guy.

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

I like a little bit of everything. :3 That sentence describes me and my attitude towards a lot of things actually. XD

 

[Secret world leader (shhh)]

I'm attracted to different kinds of people, but David Bowie (the object of my super-huge crush he's just UGH) is pretty damn androgynous, so let's go with that. Although I wouldn't mind more muscly guys...not at all...mmm.

 

[Seydaman]

I prefer effeminate men, in personality and somewhat in looks.

I really like beards however, but too much muscle is eck.

 

[Zen Toombs]

OP

You, madame, have offended me! Why'd you exclude the bi guys!?



Anyways, I prefer androgynous guys. I think generally I just like the whole blurring-the-line-between-genders thing, which may be why I've been attracted to a silly number of lesbians.

I'm a bi guy

As a guy who's bisexual-with-a-male-preference

Bi guy here

Yay! There's more of us!

Well as a selectively bi guy (is that a thing? Like, I generally stick to women but there are a few guys who just, well, y'know...). The only question is; where does Leon S. Kennedy fit on that scale?

Yes, that is a thing. I'm in that boat too, but I just call myself bisexual 'cuz I'm all cool like that.

 

[thenumberthirteen]

Maaaaybe more girly guys, but then I'm not sure really. I like masculine guys too. They're all nice.

 

[IvoryOasis]

Woaaa, fem guys are most popular with gay guys?? ~brushes hair~

Yea, I'm going to have to guess anime and japanese fem guys in games have had a lot to do with that ~_~

 

[Mr.Squishy]

Guy here. Not too into the whole binary sexuality thing. So I guess I'd say bi, but honestly, just look up Alfred Kinsey and his scale of sexual attraction. It's more nuanced than saying 'I like chicks/dudes/both'. But to put it simply, I'd say I'm as attracted to women as the average straight male with a healthy (and quite built-up) libido, and am also attracted to guys, but more rarely. I guess you could call me picky.
Right, so that's out of the way.
I'd say I like...hm, good question. Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp are cute, and Adrien Brody just looks good. Hairy/muscled isn't necessarily a turn-off, but when you're Schwarzenegger or santa claus, that's kind of not sexy. And I do suppose I'm not too turned on by fat guys either. Yeah, ugly truth I guess.
Personalitywise, though, I'm not sure. I know I have a thing for people full of pep and spunk, but I've seen very few guys like that here (I guess they tend to be either aloof and 'cool' or narrow-minded hillbillies who think emotions are for sissies). But I will admit to liking a firm hand on the reins as well. Just...just so long as they're not Christian Grey's and holding a whip. The man's mentally unwell and doesn't understand BDSM.

I hope my rant made some semblance of sense.

 

[robot slipper]

What about all of the above?

There needs to be an "all of the above."

Amen. One of everything please, I'm in no place to be picky!

But seriously, I (a straight female) think the only thing I would exclude would be the polar ends of this spectrum, i.e. an overly effeminate girly guy or an overly masculine Arnold Schwarzenegger type.

 

[AstylahAthrys]

When I was younger, I liked the pretty boys. Now that I'm an adult, I love me some yummy manly men with facial scruff and muscles and mmmm yum. Of course, when it comes to actual dating, I don't have as much of a preference with looks, but I'm thinking mostly of actors and dudes I see at the store. I like some pretty, though. I like pretty eyes.

Honestly, the easiest way to sum up my "type" is Michael Fassbender. That man fills almost every preference I have in a man, both physically and personality-wise.

Oh, and straight female here, for clarification purposes.
