lincolnkwThe subject came up at work today, while we were up at the registers being inundated with customers, about what you find attractive in someone and what's the first thing you look at when you see someone new. I think I surprised people with my answer to the second question simply because I was honest.
"I'm a crotch-watcher."
The girls were speechless, the one guy started laughing. It finally came out that one of the other girls said she also snuck looks. It pretty much came down to curiosity for me. It's the scene from that commercial with Michael Jordan, Boxers/Briefs/Commando? Sometimes you get a guy who's a little hapy or very well blessed. Then I said I looked at eyes and hands next. They all roled their eyes. Riiiight.
No really. I do. 1-crotch, 2-hands, 3-eyes.
Then they asked what we each found attractive in someone. I'm like #1) find me attractive. Hello, important quality there. We than have to be able to carry on a conversation, have a sense of humor, and finally looks. Reply: "riiight."
Whatever.
Looks-wise though, give me an Italian man any day. Woof. Dark hair, shaggy, a little scruffy, some chest hair peeking over the collar, artistic hands, gorgeous eyes, a kissable mouth, and hairy legs. Yes, I'm weird. Then I said I like my women with a little meat on them, don't give me no size 2s or 4s. She needs to be comfortable with her body and have curves. And I don't want a white woman. (please don't be offended by this, I just am a little annoyed with the PC terms, I went to a black Jr High and a latino HS, I've been a minority from 6th grade to graduation) When I dated women I never did date anyone from my race. In order of preference it was always black (as one of my girlfriends said "once you go black, you never go back!"), asian (Lily had a STRONG southern accent, so cute!), middle eastern, native american, latina, then way down at the bottom was white, and no blondes please give me a brunette or redhead.
Strangely enough, it's the exact opposite when it comes to men. I don't know why.
And if he or she can sing then I'm a puddle of goo on the carpet. I actually dated a couple of singers and had one sing to me at a cabaret show he was in. At Ozz in Orange County, CA. Love Rudy de la Mor (it wasn't him by the way, but a guest)
And before anyone comments, yes I am gay. Big time queer. Haven't dated a woman since college and have no plans to. But, never say never.
