Oooh, interesting thread.
Even though I'm with a blond-haired, blue-eyed Germanic lookin' dude, I'm usually more attracted to darker skinned, Maori or PI men. They have to be big, not like over the top muscular, but I like men with some meat on 'em, haha. Must be strong, and 'male' looking for me to look at them twice. I want to be the girly one in the relationship. I love facial hair, and a full head of hair; whether it's short or long, there has to be lots of it. I don't care about how they dress, as long as they're not too over the top with it. Comic book t-shirts or belt buckle are also instant wins.
Good Lord, I was at work the other day and there was a courier driver dropping something off, a newbie. No lie, if I wasn't the monogamous type, I would have knocked him out and dragged him home.... About 5'11 (I'm 5'8, so is the BF, I don't generally like hella tall guys), fair-skinned Maori (I'm gonna be a nerd here and say about NC30) dude with dreads pulled back into a ponytail at the back of his head, and a chinastrap kind of beard- long sideburns that connect up under the chin. Big but not fat, amazing arms. Uuugh. And he had a voice like honey.
Even though my amazing man of two years is a white guy through and through, I still think he's fiendishly attractive, just not my usual 'type'. My family was kinda like 'wha...?' Hahaha. He was surprised by how dark the rest of my family is, I'm kind of like the white sheep. Now he's prepared for the chance that we might have brown babies
As for girls, I love the look of most darker girls as well. South Asian, Middle Eastern and Greek girls are sexay. I love the look of a lot of African women, but it's pretty rare to see anyone that looks like that here... I do also have a thing for very very pale ladies with strong features *shrugs* I think it's more of a body thing with girls, t and a all the way.
