    Guys - do you have a type?
    I've always been curious whether most guys have a 'type'. Sometimes I've been dating a guy and I see his ex-girlfriends all have the same 'look'. I have male friends who have been dating similar looking girls for a long time. Not necessarily in terms of hair colours and skin tone, but in terms of a "cute" face or a androgunuous face.
    So for guys, do you have a type?

    For instance, Karolina Kurkova is Czech, and has that typical tall, lanky, blonde, blue-eyed look which you may see in East Europeans:

    Obviously I've chosen some of the best looking girls of each "style"! I'm sure some will find a reason to be hateful, but I'm really just highlighting that there are many types which appeals to guys.
    You can make a note of it if you prefer one girl "in spite" of her type.
    NB: I'm sure some people (as usual) will go "everybody has different taste!". Well I know, I'm only asking if most have a certain "type". And if that differs a lot from the girls they're used to. A lot can be based on stereotypes and I know sometimes people can find a girl "exotic" if she has a different appearance than the girls they're used to (i.e. guys from Nordic countries can find Brazilian girls particularly exciting, whereas Latin American men often have a thing for blondes).
    Just curious how many guys have a type they go for Although I'm sure the majority will find all of these reasonably attractive.

    I like to think I don't, but I have recently acknowledged that I may have a thing for little brown girls.

    I must say if any category it'd probably be a hybrid of the fair skinned British and the all-American sweetheart. Kind of a 'girl next door' thing.

    Cute-but-unique. Classically good looking isn't as interesting to me.

    I probably also edge towards taller girls. Very much a leg man.

    As someone who has rejected multiple women, I'd say that there are some of us who are particularly choosy out there. I can't say the same about the majority of my friends, mind.

    I tend to go for weird girls. I can't really define weird in this context, as there's a million different ways it could manifest itself. It doesn't happen often, though even just looking at a woman, I can see that unique quality about them- that 'weirdness' that sets them apart from %99 of women. I realise that's incredibly vague, though I can't describe it any better. I just know when I see it, and if it's right, I move in.

    On a more obvious level, I tend to go for more slim, tall, striking brunettes. The draw is magnified tenfold if she has a bob haircut, or a short cut of some sort.

    If i had to pick i would probably say Latina but of the choices you provided i would say either Karolina Kurkova or Keira Knightley (don't have anything against Penelope Cruz, i just find the other two more attractive). Don't think many guys have an exclusive "type" but some might have certain features they find off putting.

    I appreciate the peculiar, people who have odd interests or quirks. My last girlfriend had a little lisp and was incredibly shy, but also had the cutest smile.

    reese witherspoon is so perfect it's almost hard to look at her (although that pic probably isn't her best). if I had to pick a type then she's it.

    I would say I go for the girl next door type (Witherspoon is the nicest looking in your selection, imho). I also like short girls, for some reason.

    Tall (same height as me would be ideal; I'm 6'1"), milk-white skin, blonde or red hair (+1 for bright orange hair :drool:), delicate features, cute little button nose, blue eyes, curvy, big boobs, wide hips, narrow waist and shoulders.

    Obviously this is just an ideal. If I was actually that picky I'd be a permavirgin.

    Is this a nature-born preference or something you came up with the first time you saw Christina Hendricks?

    Personally I wouldn't mind Reese witherspoon or Penelope Cruz or a short and cute type of girl such as Pixie lott.
