30s

My tastes haven't changed much. I like chiseled features, nice broad shoulders and decent sized Johnson's. Apart from the physical I like broad minded men with a dirty sense of humour, intelligent and irreverent. What has changed for me since my 40s is that they also have to adore me, I refuse to be with anyone who doesn't. When I was younger I put up with too much being taken for granted.

I can safely say my taste in men, has been the same since I was 11 lol in terms of personality given my celeb crushes, and/or tv/book crushes.

I had a few school crushes, I thought they were all cute. But I am over all of them, and kinda wonder why I was even so fixated on them in the 1st place. They're not ugly, still don't think that. But I just don't like them anymore.

But they were also indifferent, mean, or rude to me. So, that helped lol

With looks, it varies, depending on the man. Now, to generalize, features I like

Muscles-l- toned, lean, or buff. Just don't like skinny.
Facial hair- usually stubble / goatee/ beard
Tall - I am only 5'0. So, I guy taller than me won't be hard to find lol
Long hair

But again, depends on the man. Some guys I liked didn't have facial hair, and were hot. Some had short hair, or shaved heads, and it was hot. And some were on the fat side, and hot lol

But I am into the alpha thing. Always have been, with some exceptions, and the attraction didn't last long for said exceptions.

My current infatuation has all the above though. Tough, tall, toned, and hairy Not really a fan or hairy legs, but they're sexy on him lol

As a teen, maybe early 20's, I put an awful lot of emphasis on physical beauty, and not nearly enough on the beauty of person or character. I ended up pursuing women that, in retrospect, I had nothing in common with, and turning away women which would have been good matches to try and pursue a relationship with.

In my 30's, I brought this more into balance as I got to know myself and matured. I realized who I was attracted to wasn't based on one physical trait, aspect, or appearance, but was based on an evaluation of both physical and non physical traits of the person.

I love my husband and everything about him, even almost 10yrs later. However, worse case and i had to pick another husband- My religious views and values would have to come first for picking him.

I'd say that my tastes have expanded as I got older. It depends on who has a crush on me.

Yup, same here. I think it's just a byproduct of getting older.
