To me a flaw is more something that a person needs to work on, and is actually capable of fixing.
I have no problem whatsoever with small breasts either.

Also, I'm a huge fan of nice teeth. But I also think that somewhat crooked teeth that are symmetrical are adorable.

These threads are so tiring to me, but let me contribute..

I suppose if a woman is under 5,7" and over 6,3" I could still consider dating her, maybe, oh maybe!

The fact that I am 5,9" is irrelevant to my preferences. I am attracted to what I am attracted to..

Oh, if I was a woman, this thread would actually make sense in the superficial, shallow American mindset.. LOLOL

I suppose I could also accept if a woman didn't have blonde hair, blue eyes and a nice curvy figure..

OH Maybe!! OH Maybe!!


BTW.. If she cannot cook, forget it! Although, I would have no problem if she just cannot cook one specific type of food. As long as she can provide enough variety.. However, she better hope that that one specific type of food isn't Middle Eastern food, because I cannot survive without that!! A major physical flaw, indeed!

I don't care if she's a little chubby, or if her nose is a tad crooked or long, or if her skin isn't absolutely flawless. To expect physical perfection in anyone without some outside "help" is unreasonable.

Can't exactly put it into words, but that's basically the jist of it. I was way pickier when I was 16 than I am now, and the change is for the best.

Well, there's so much focus on what people won't accept, as if they are some grand prize, that I thought it would be nice to de-stigmatize supposed physical "flaws".

----

I don't have any problem with
- acne...on the face or back
- very skinny guys...no need to be buff
- some extra chub....I admit that very fat is a turn-off, but some love handles is a non-issue
- less than perfect teeth....rotting or missing front teeth is probably a turn-off, but a little crooked & stained is nothing to me
- big noses...I actually think they are cool
- ears that stick out....a la John Krasinski...cute!
- short guys (ie. under 5'8)

I think some (or most?) women don't like freckles. I think it looks hot...

[I can't explain it ]

Mir, I am 5,9" and about the average height of a woman here in Idaho.. I rarely ever see a white guy under 6 foot here in Idaho, or even, in Oregon. Indeed, I am a very short man where I live in Idaho. Probably in most of the caucasian Midwest and Pacific Northwest USA. Tallness and shortness are relative to where you live. In Italy or Israel , I am average in height, although not tall. In Southern Uganda and Ghana, I was the one of the tallest guys everywhere I went.

Considering, that Americans are very superficial and height-conscious in relationships, the slightest mishap is grounds for denial. A short guy like me can cry about this, but lately I find it more humorous than anything. Usually with women, it relates to how good they will look out on a date in their heels. The protector argument is flawed. I have more muscle mass then many of these skinny, weak-looking 6ft + guys around here, yet somehow I am automatically disqualified and they are not. I am thinking it is mainly an issue with acceptance within social groups. I've seen too many tough as nails, short, bulky guys to think the protector argument is the main factor. Most guys I see women attracted to are very soft, metrosexualish and weak and hardly look like effective bodyguards. However, they are tall, hip and stylish, trying to emulate the guys in model magazine covers.

Regardless, of the stigma a 5,8-5,10 ft guy may have here, I think some women have it worse. Girls with skinny chests, lacking curvature or are overly broad/husky (or a bit masculine), etc will face worse stigma by men here. Thankfully, many men (not all) don't date based on social acceptance by friends/peers. So, these kind of women can always find dates. However, they're considered unattractive and many men look the other way.

I feel a loving, kind, nurturing woman can always captivate some man's heart, whereas an ugly man who has these traits would most likely never captivate a woman's heart.. It is just the society we live. When I was in Africa, the situation was totally reversed.
