"Tall, dark, and handsome" email this discussion to a friend?

You've probably heard that cliche phrase, describing an attractive man. So is that the type you would go for? At least as far as looks are concerned, is "tall, dark, and handsome" your thing?

Tall, dark and never mind. w00trasp

yeah in my part and in my taste, i go for that type. Tall, dark and handsome guy really caught my attention. Most of that kind of type guy really had an appeal which make them stand out.
I don't like much seeing a guy who has a very fair complexion. Not man enough to see nor touch. lol


myLot reputation of 74/100. anna728 (579)  4 months ago

haha guess you go for the cliche then! it definitely has it's appeal, though, that's for sure!!

I do like tall men, because I'm five foot nine (I also weigh 118 pounds haha - tall, thin, and lanky, anyone?). But most of the men I fall for are about six foot or a little taller, with blue or green eyes, and they all either have brown or black hair. Fair or tan doesn't seem to matter much to me when I fall for a guy. And I like kind of strong features and soft eyes.

There was, of course, the one exception: the classic blonde haired, blue eyed boy with the delicate features, haha.


myLot reputation of 74/100. anna728 (579)  4 months ago

I'm tallish too (5'8") so I go for taller guys for the same reason- also 6' or more (preferably anyway). And I do also tend to like dark hair. I like light eyes with dark, hair too- I think it is an interesting looking combination. Complexion is irrelevant, for me, too, but I'm not sure if it's what the expression gets at. Anyway, everyone looks dark compared to me- I'm so light! Ahh but blonde and blue-eyed: another cliche haha!

Attractive? I guess when I was a bit younger, I would be attracted to those qualities. But then now, when I am a lot older, I go more for qualities that last longer. happy


myLot reputation of 74/100. anna728 (579)  4 months ago

heehee like actual personality traits! Those are always good to have too! haha

Mine was a slight variation - during my high school and college days, I admired the 'tall, fair and handsome' guys. And I married a tall, fair and definitely not handsome man - well, my girlfriends used to say, two out of three is better than nothing!


myLot reputation of 74/100. anna728 (579)  4 months ago

Haha well your friends are right, 2/3 isn't bad!

so you mean girls prefer dark men than fair guys:P
Well the reverse does not hold true I guess;)


myLot reputation of 74/100. anna728 (579)  4 months ago

Oh I dunno if it's true in general! It's just a cliche phrase...

To me, the tall, dark and handsome is dark haired. And YES, that is what I go for. I married a tall, dark haired man, who I think is handsome. I think the handsome part is subjective and is in the eye of the beholder as they say. Saying all of that... It's easy to get a crush on a guy if he is happy, upbeat, in shape, confident, funny, smart etc... I really think you are attracted by certain traits, but really liking someone goes beyond that initial attraction. Personality does matter!


myLot reputation of 74/100. anna728 (579)  4 months ago

Yeah I agree with the stuff you said. For one- tall dark and handsome can definitely be attractive! I also take it to mean dark-haired- I think the phrase could apply to someone who is either light or dark skinned. Handsome is subjective, but there are still some people who most would consider better looking than others. And of course there is more to attraction than looks! That's definitely more important overall... people will still have they're preferences for looks, anyway, though some will care more about that than others, I suppose.

When I was younger, my ideal man was exactly that: tall, dark and handsome. I didn't know then that there was a lot more to that than just physical attributes. As I got older and matured, I realized that the physicality of a person is not all that counts when it comes to developing a relationship. There's a lot more involved and usually it has nothing to do with how the person looks like. My boyfriend now isn't tall, but he is kinda dark and he is good looking. I don't really set standards as far as physical features are concerned although of course, the good looking part is a bonus I always wish for. lol


myLot reputation of 74/100. anna728 (579)  4 months ago

Oh of course there is more to it than looks- I would never date someone if they had nothing but looks. But, people will have more (physical) attraction to certain people anyway- it's just a matter of whether you act on that or you take personality into account too. Ideally you can have both! haha


myLot reputation of 96/100. crazyoverpurple (2930)   ranked 268 out of 331 in fallen in love  4 months ago

Best to have both. lol I'm glad that so far, I always have both. lol

I guess i can't settle for less, I need to be totally awed by my guy, therefore he needs to be tall, handsome, intelligent, funny, kind... if you think i'm asking to much, wait till you hear the whole list. hahaha.

But has anyone noticed that girls these days are generally more good looking than a men? some local dj said that its because the not so good looking women have extinct. hahah. nasty thing to say but makes you wonder. When was the last time you saw a REALLY handsome guy, the one that makes your knees weak like in the novels?


myLot reputation of 74/100. anna728 (579)  4 months ago

Well hey, you may sound picky, but there's no need to invest a relationship if the guy isn't really something special! I also won't just date whoever comes along and is ok and convenient. I think maybe girls have just gotten good at doing hair or makeup or something or dressing and guys pretty much stay the same all the time. Hmm I dunno what was the last time someone totally awed me... maybe it's been a while since that, but there have definitely been some pretty good looking boys around! haha

I am pretty tall (6 foot 3 inches) with brown hair and hazel eyes. I go for the darker hair types, that are taller than 5' 5. It's nice, because you don't have to stoop down to kiss them. And they won't need a stepladder to hug me:)


myLot reputation of 74/100. anna728 (579)  4 months ago

Haha a ladder would be funny... well having a good proportion between each other is good.

I like the teddy bear type. I also like light skinned or lightly tanned and dark haired. I can't stand men with blond hair...not sure why. Being handsome isn't a huge factor for me since I'm more interested in what their like inside and how they treat me. I also like the quiet, homebody types as opposed to the sporty outdoor loud partying type.
