Not the most, but, Ill never forget this. I was in class in the back of the room. I looked up and this guy came walking in. He was BEAUTIFUL. The woman in front of me even made a comment. He sat next to us. He had a dark tan, long blond hair (shoulder length) and blue eyes. His skin was FLAWLESS. You could tell he worked out. He looked like the actor David Lapaigne (Muriel's Wedding). A littler darker though. His hair was really thick like a young George Michael. I thought he might be Greek, Spanish or maybe Italian.
I locked eyes with the woman in front of me. I know she was thinking the same thing. OMG LOL
One was an exceptionally HANDSOME young Italian man that was my server in a restaurant in Manhattan. He had the most terrific face, and he was also very nice and personable and did not appear vain, which added even more to his looks. Can't think of anyone I'd compare him to but he was around 5'10' with black hair cut neat, and large dark soulful eyes, light olive skin. Great face.
The other was a tall cool glass of water that came into the office one day. He was in his mid-40's or so and he looked like a Country star. He wore a western hat, and he, too, had an incredibly HANDSOME face. Black hair, dark eyes, and a darker complexion than the Italian guy. When I caught him watching me I just melted.
I like all types, though. Just don't have a favorite anymore.
I'll steal Bluesmama's phrase, "a tall cool glass of water."
He's a 6'2-ish, like quarterback or soccer player build, 40-ish black man with a chiseled face, dimples and a southern drawl! Excellent eye candy, with a gregarious with a great smile. Yes please!
Let's just say my friends and I had fun flirting while we were out.
I'm 40 years old so have seen quite a few, but if I didn't know them personally then I would never have paid close enough attention to actually remember them. Attractive people are a dime a dozen. Tough question to answer.
but just for the record, I absolutely LOVE "brown" (Hispanic, Native American, etc) men! I'm also a middle-class Jewish professional woman, raised in an upper-class family, so not exactly fitting into those neat little stereotypes. One of my ex-boyfriends was half Mexican & half Native Tlingit, and I've also dated black & white men... but my absolute favorite general look/ethnicity is probably Pacific Islander.
One specific man who now comes to mind was this gorgeous Samoan, who I spotted in the players' lot after a football game... there he was, my physical ideal! Actually snuck in a couple of photos from afar, just not sure if I should share them here - but he was tall, husky build, maybe shoulder-length (pulled back) curly black hair, dimples, and just all-around HOT. He wasn't a player, btw, although possibly related to one in particular.

I'm black and I've always liked brown guys too! My preferences lean towards black and brown guys. I tend to like arabs and middle eastern men too. We always get on pretty well. My guy BFFs in college were afghan, pakistani, and sri lankan.
You know how everyone has "the one that got away?" Well mine is a biracial guy who is indian (as in south asian) and white!*
Not sure where this idea that brown guys are "out" comes from. My friends of all backgrounds like "brown" guys. Maybe I have weird friends.
*He is pretty high on my "attractive person" list. He looks like a darker, less skinny version of that felon. With dark eyes and no tatts.

I briefly dated a Palestinian in high school, but, well... let's just say that no matter how much I'd love to see peace in the Middle East, a Jewish girl dating a Palestinian boy was bound for disaster. It ended badly, lol.
Other than that, I've never dated an Asian or Middle-Eastern man - not really on purpose, more like a mutual lack of attraction. Unfortunately the ones I do find attractive don't like me (probably because I'm more full-figured & tallish), and vice versa. And with Middle-Eastern men of Muslim descent, in particular, there's just the whole culture/religion clashing issue.

No, I don't think we're all weird! The OP is just mistaken, apparently, or it could be a regional thing. I'm in the Bay Area, where Asian and Hispanic people make up like 2/3 (if not more) of our population... so you would really have to TRY to avoid "brown men," and I see no reason to do that. My attractions tend to lean towards Black, Hispanic, NA, PI, and multi-ethnic men, but I've never rejected someone based solely on ethnicity.
P.S. I shouldn't admit this, but that felon dude is HOT. I know he's a scumbag, and won't be bailing him out - but a girl can still look, right?

My perception of religion for middle easterners is forever shaped by one of my good friends. She is Egyptian and Christian. In my pre-teen brain that was totally logic, as christianity started there. Of course I later figured out she is a minority. But half of the Egyptians I have met are Christian too. (She also has really cute cousins!)
Ps. It was a given I was going to like the felon. I love bald guys. Lol. 90s Polo ads were the best!
