I think I'd like myself as another person, but am still properly critical of myself as me.

If my stomach isn't in frame and my hair is done.

[–] baduhai@sopuli.xyz 9 points 3 days ago

Eh, I wouldn't turn myself down, but I'd certainly not go out of my way to hit on me. I'm not really my type.

On Fire!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

not anymore, my wife made me get a haircut

on the plus side, I now look more like someone she would have sex with

[–] Una@europe.pub 29 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Something tells me she knew what she was doing with making you get a haircut

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 27 points 4 days ago

she did, which is why I listened when she told me it was time

[–] uniquethrowagay@feddit.org 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don't like my body type at all. I thought I was unattractive to everyone until my girlfriend proved me wrong

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

There's always someone for everyone.

[–] uniquethrowagay@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago

It took me almost 30 years to learn that lesson but yeah.

[–] USSMojave@startrek.website 24 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm an androgynous twink who is into bears. There is no overlap

[–] weeeeum@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm a bear into androgynous twinks. There is also no overlap

[–] USSMojave@startrek.website 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Thinking about it more, there is one area of overlap: the genitals 😆

[–] weeeeum@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I'm not turned on by my bits, but I definitely like my butt (and other peoples butts)

[–] CelloMike@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

My husband and I have been mistaken for brothers before so... Yeah

I think I kinda did ten or fifteen years ago, but I'm a bear/dad now and I'm much more into rugged women than rugged men. My taste in men runs twink-ish, usually.

My wife has aged similarly though, which very much works for me.

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

That's fair, My taste in men also leans more towards twinks, and currently I look kind of twink-y. But maybe if I keep gaining weight and muscle, while I don't think I'll end up looking "bad", maybe I'll stop being my type.

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 34 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm glad that as a straight, this doesn't apply to me, cause I have a twin brother and would've made for an awkward question.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Somehow i wonder what the odds are of a twin being straight while the other is gay. Or if the odds are higher for both twins to be gay?

That definitely is the case with me (say in around 70% of cases?).

I think in my mind, people that are my type = attractive. I want to be attractive. Therefore, my ideal look = the body type I am attracted to. Thankfully, I have almost achieved my ideal "look" or whatever.

So yeah, I do look like people I have sex with usually.

No

I have a type. I'm not that type.

[–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 25 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I'm super cute, generally a mess, and emotionally unavailable.

I'm definitely my type.

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

That's the attitude!

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Pretty sure I dated you for a couple weeks last month.

[–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

I miss you <3

(Seriously you're better off without them!)

[–] tomsh@lemmy.ml 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Not gay but I have sex with my arm regularly

[–] dumblederp@aussie.zone 9 points 4 days ago

Yeah but I'm thinking about someone else's arm.

No. I have a type and I'm not it.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 12 points 3 days ago

I would totally fuck me.

[–] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

No, I like both men and women with dark hair/eyes/complexion and I look the complete opposite. I definitely have a type. Oddly, my brother, though straight, has the same preferences in women and he and I look alike.

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 12 points 4 days ago (2 children)
[–] illi@lemm.ee 15 points 4 days ago (2 children)

In that case... go fuck yourself!

[–] Semjaza@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 3 days ago

Nope, with same gender folk I find they usually have something striking or unusual in their appearance and I'm far too normal middle of the road looking to fit that.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Yeah. I'm definitely my type

[–] jessicablaze@lemmynsfw.com 10 points 4 days ago

No. Perhaps similar features but I'd want someone a bit different.
