The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsI just realized today that I am attracted to men who are blond, attractive, and sulky.
James Dean, a neighbor who was my first RL crush, and somebody I see occasionally now.

(19,288 posts)I find it oddly disorienting when I'm wrong. Even after I'm corrected I occasionally forget who is what.

When I got to college I found out about smart ones (science/engineering/math majors) who were also crazy musicians. I used to date fiddlers I met in orchestra (viola, cello or bass players).
Clue: The guy in my avatar who has a Ph.D. in Astrophysics, so you should call him "Dr. May".
My other celebrity crush is Lewis Black. I've met him in person after one of his gigs, and he's adorable and has a total aura of "nice person radiating force field of charisma".
At my age I don't see very many men who impress me with their talent and charisma. Another one with charisma is Paul Stookey.

So who do I end up marrying? A blue-eyed German blonde woman. Never try to second-guess fate, because you'll lose.

(21,046 posts)I think short people are often dominated by tall men. In fact, some tall men admit that they enjoy intimidating other people.
I had a tall mother, a tall grandmother, a taller than average dad (five-eleven, big strong man at 180 lbs), uncles on both sides that were six foot two and skinny--so what happened to me?
Five foot two and small bones. I'm a mini me version of Mom, she had small bones, but just taller & bigger frame.

(10,624 posts)Attractive is in the eye of the beholder; some women think I'm attractive, others don't.
But I really have to wonder ...
Am I sulky?
