-Cheers.
Me too! I'm too tall, I have tattoos and surgery scars, I enjoy wearing heels here and there and I'm definitely 'one of the boys'.

Oh well

Mine would include:

Too short
Too overweight
Too skinny (too skinny limbs, for instance, or ribs showing)
Noticeably aberrant torso/body (torso/leg) ratio - not a supermodel or a dwarf
Weird body shape (very wide bottom, very broad shoulders, too stout rotund)
Very small breasts
A very long or very round face
Too small or too big eyes (I'm talking slits or like googly eyes)
A flat nose
Weirdly proportioned facial features
Too thin or thick lips
Skin too blotchy
Extremely dark skin (I know this could come across as being racist. I'm just not used to it, I haven't tried a VERY dark girl but I'm not totally closed to the possibility of it).
This post and threads like this usually offend me. Especially the part about dark skin. You seem racist, what is wrong with dark skin?

And I'm 6'2". Tall ones are a no-no. Nothing over 5'9".

This thread just shows how superficial people are. What qualities do they care about? Looks. What about, kindness, love, honesty, integrity, generosity, etc? No wonder people can't find someone, or just end up going through a series of "relationship", marriages, and FWB. After all, what happens when your "one and only" gets old, gets sick, they develop wrickles, age spots, they might limp, grey hair, etc. Gee, people today are just wonderful????????????

What I listed are non-preferences.....doesn't mean I couldn't fall for someone with those characteristics

Dare to dream.

There's definitely a proportion of the population that will COMPLETELY overlook physical attraction, but it's small.

I'd throw myself in there, and it's maybe less than 1%.

True and the ones with the most demand on physical appearance are probably not even that good looking themselves

I'm trying to be as honest as possible. Nothing wrong with dark skin at all. Actually I can find it beautiful, but I'm just not used to very dark brown skin (I'm not talking most black women, but like the darkest ones). If the opportunity ever arose to date such a girl, I probably would, but it might take me awhile to get used to it. Others have expressed what they don't find as attractive about certain races, which is fine and not necessarily racist. Like while I like many Asian girls, again I'm not used to ones with extremely 'oriental' features. I find a lot of white people ugly too (I find having lots of freckles in adulthood, for instance, a bit of a turn-off), of course. But it seems anything bad about black people is taboo. The difference with me is I'm open to expanding my experiences and overcoming my inbuilt preferences. I'm going to come out and say it instead of lie and say it makes zero difference.
