OK: this is what I am a peabrained sucker for, in a Other Half
i: Malicious sense of humour
ii: "Mark will you help me with my life"
iii: ppl just on the threshold of grasping who they are and learning to realise their potential blah blah

iv. is in fact junkies or former junkies, for whom I have uncanny dope-dar, but who I also have sense to stay away from, mostly.

What are the types who flip your lid despite the disaster that yr common-sense cells are screaming will ensue

Therapized ex-anorexic bis with control issues. I am not kidding - last 3 gfs. Why? Working on it.

This is so gross and Gus van Sant/Dennis Cooper and typical of gay men my age, but--youngish, fun-loving freewheeling guys looking for a homo older brother type to hang with. Usually somewhat, ahem, straight. Also reformed early eighties ex-junkie goths I mean death rockers. 45 Grave fans. And uptight guys who can only relax around me. For a spell, that is, it never lasts.

I dig 45 Grave but I definitely love sick girls. Daddy issues, abaondonment issues, self-esteem issues--I'm your boy. I'm very good at helping them work through their shit, I've got lots of love to give, and I love the love I get back. I'm in heaven, usually for about six months. Then I realize we have zero to talk about, wonder what I'm doing and how I'm going to extricate myself w/o hurting anyone, and fake it for as long as it takes for them to end it. Not cool for either party. I'm working on it and getting better. Hey, thanks for listening.

Tracer we share a b'day no? It is surely a zodiacal thing, as even Hamish must agree. Tho I am admittedly less gender-picky than you.

hey how come only BOYS have answred this thread so far? i always fall for skinny, lit-loving (often poets UGH!) vaguely tortured souls, musicians (DUBBLE UGH), preferably with very dark hair and dark eyes. my boyfriend of 2 years i met after seeing one of his gigs, and he has very dark hair and eyes. hmmm.

I don't know. I guess I'm too young to have a catalogue of stuff and thus find common links. I'm really copping out I suppose.......

― Ronan, Saturday, 3 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Could it be a majority of ILE boys who are wasting their time on the internet on a saturday night? What a horrible place to be and yet here I am, too tired to go out and feeling shit cos I'm in.

― Ronan, Saturday, 3 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Men. Ha ha ha. Oh, ok, long distance relationships, sigh. Maybe if the opportunity ever presents itself again I will remember the previous disasters and remember why I said never again and how stupid I was not to listen to myself.

I'm not sure if this exactly counts, but it's as close to an answer as I've got.

Mark will you help me with my life?

Dark hair, blue or green eyes, good cheekbones get me every time, physically speaking of course. Personality-wise I seem to attract men that are not as smart as me, guys that can't keep up with me in any capacity and weak men, but I am attracted to men that are significantly smarter than me. I haven't figured out why there is just a huge difference between the guys I want and the guys I get.

Definitely attracted to the conventionally-unemployable artistic type. I get guys that are only in love with the sex, and not me. With all that said, I haven't had a proper boyfriend since 1997.

I think it's great to read the guys' responses to this. Very interesting.

i haven't had many long-term partners. but i tend to have one-niters with bad boys. i like the idea of chewing bad-boys up and spitting them out. i don't think i have a particular type, and i don't always get involved with people who would be bad for me.

― di, Saturday, 3 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Aaaagh! I couldn't ever be romantic with someone I could ask "will you help me with my life." I don't know why. My hopes:

i.As smart as or smarter than me so I am not expected to act dumber than I am (this is unfortunately a common expectation and i hate it)
ii. Will dress up to a reasonable extent.
iii. Quiet.

I asked this girl out on a date thurs night--everything went well--even got a little cuddly toward the end of the evening--yay! Than as soon as I start to get actual hopes up about potentially having a real relationship (I know, after one date too--sigh) I run into said chick on my way home from work and act totally weird in front of her and her friends...argghh! I get into situations that may be comfortable at first, than freak out over nothing. NOTHING. I hate emotions.

― turner, Saturday, 3 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm not picky, I just like the people I like, there's not much they have in common. Apart from a keen BRANE. And the fact they're never interested in me...*sigh*...

― DG, Saturday, 3 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I seem to attract people who are lazy no-hopers. they get clingy so I am nasty, which is fun I suppose. i see other peoples faults too clearly...

I have a Samaritan Complex too.

― Tom, Sunday, 4 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't actually have an answer for this question. I have no idea what I'm looking for, or what I like. I know I wouldn't really like a girl who liked going out all the time, or who was way more intelligent than me. I have time to consider my reponse now, as my Internet conncetion has just clicked off...Hmmmm...Musical, lots of different interests (not necesarily the same as mine), longish hair, glasses, likes going to record shops, comic shops, concerts...(but now I'm just creating the female version of mself, stop it you damn fool!). I think I would run away from most girls, coz I'm a wuss (ah, poor me, boo-hoo)

I give up.

― james, Sunday, 4 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I want to know what Ned/Dan's answer(s) are.

― Tracer Hand, Sunday, 4 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

*blink* Huh. Well, considering Dan is happily married, you'd have to ask him about his past life, or so I hope. ;-) Mine? *thinks* Er, I don't think I have a type, or at least not in the sense Mark was talking about regarding 'this is something that will lead to destruction and yet I must go forward.' Keep in mind I essentially blame myself for all romantic flameouts, and I don't hold grudges towards anyone. Prone to Net romances, yes, but that's more a function of romance in general rather than a quality of a person.

In terms of general attraction, intelligence, humor, openness, a good sense of self. :-)

"intelligence, humor, openness, a good sense of self": yes, i think "run away" wd not apply to these ned

― mark s, Monday, 5 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

MY POINT, good sir. ;-)
