Do you have standards of attraction? How often do you find yourself attracted to a guy outside of those standards.

I have preferences more than standards, but I often find men attractive outside of them.

My attractiveness standard is "someone I am attracted to." The shallowest example I can think of is I prefer men with dark hair. But on occassion I find light-haired men attractive. I have also realized over time that I'm attracted to multiple genders and gender expressions, though my preference is still masculine men and feminine women.

My height standard is to be taller than myself. That's about it. I haven't ever been attracted to someone shorter than myself.

My standards of attraction are fairly normal: healthy weight, good posture, not an asshole, still has most of his teeth, no face tattoos, that sort of thing.

I've never been attracted to people who don't meet those (very basic) standards.

I don't have standards like that.

I'm more likely to be attracted to a brunette, but that doesn't mean I won't find a red headed guy attractive. I generally am not attracted to blue eyed guys, but I have been in the past at least once or twice. They aren't standards, they're just patterns.

I have no specific 'type' but the common factor to all the guys I've liked is height and build. I'm tall (5'11") and I really like taller guys. Also like them to be broad shouldered. Not necessarily built, but just large. It makes me feel safer.

That all being said, I've had major crushes on shorter thin guys. My ex of 4 years was my height and skinny. The guy after him was super tall but really skinny.

Personality goes a long way. It can make me completely forget what a guy looks like.

My non-negotiable standards are: practices good hygiene, takes care of himself mentally and physically.

The rest are preferences. I love me some quiet and clever short dark haired lads with long faces and thick shoulders, but I've been attracted to many different types.

My standards are my preferences. I don't often find myself attracted to people that fit outside of those preferences.

I mean, I have certain things I tend to find attractive but not necessarily exclusively. The only real standard I have is that I have to be attracted to them.

No, I don't have standards.

I have given up on having a type. As soon as I think I have nailed down a type I meet someone who doesn't fit it and boom I find them attractive.

So far my type seems to be critically self aware people with a dry sense of humour.

My standards are not set in stone. Generally i can find something to like about most guys. My physical preferences are definitely not mandatory; intellectually i like a guy to be smart but i don't care if he has a degree, and so on. It really depends on the individual and if you look at my exes they are all over the place both in looks and background.

If I find someone attractive, then my standards must encompass them. I don't have a set of physical requirements like that.

I find lots of men pretty or handsome. The men I find attractive to want to date are the big guys... all around big.

Standards of physical attractiveness? No. Looks are not a consideration for me. Dont get me wrong, I love curly hair on guys, for example, but that doesnt come into play at all when entering a relationship. Kindness, curiousity, sense of humour, gentleness... if the most gorgeous guy in the world doesnt have those characteristics, I have zero use for him.

My physical standards are descriptive, not prescriptive. I notice I like men who have beards and women who are androgynous. But I've never made a decision to not date men without beards or feminine women.

Yes I have a default standard, an ideal really. BUT it's nothing more than an ideal.

I've regularly found I'm NOT actually attracted to the guys that meet me imaginary quota, and I AM attracted to guys that if were described to me in perfect detail would earn a resounding eww.

Truth is I, like many other women, see with my emotions rather than my eyes. If it works it works, if it doesn't it doesn't.

I usually like tall skinny dudes. I wouldn't call it a standard though, more like a pattern.

Some actual standards: good hygiene, at least near my level of intelligence (not too far above or below), and some basic understanding of boundaries. A sardonic sense of humor and a strong personality are a big plus.

I usually prefer very tall, dark guys, though it's not a standard, per se, but just what I normally go for.

Went on a date with a guy with light brown hair and blue eyes last night. He had to be 5'9", tops. Was very attracted to him.
