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.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 59 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 25 points 1 week ago

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

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 32 points 1 week 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 5 points 1 week 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?

[–] BigBrainBrett2517@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I have a client who's SO's twin brother is not gay. I don't know what the odds are, of course, but this is proof that it can occur! I suppose it goes without saying they cannot be identical.

[–] DoubleDongle@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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 11 points 1 week 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.

[–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

I'm definitely my type.

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

That's the attitude!

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

I miss you <3

(Seriously you're better off without them!)

[–] USSMojave@startrek.website 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] weeeeum@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] USSMojave@startrek.website 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] weeeeum@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

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

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

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

No

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

[–] CelloMike@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

In that case... go fuck yourself!

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

HELL YEAH!!

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 11 points 1 week ago

I would totally fuck me.

[–] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week 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.

[–] baduhai@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 week 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.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)
[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Yeah. I'm definitely my type

[–] TerranFenrir@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

That is exactly my line of thinking.

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 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There's always someone for everyone.

[–] uniquethrowagay@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago

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

[–] turtlesareneat@discuss.online 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

For many gay men, the “Do I want to date him or be him?” Issue can cut hard, so I’m not sure it’s that weird.

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Yeah, right?

Absolutely. I don't have a type, but definitely find myself attractive.

[–] tissek@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 week ago

I'd do me any day of the week.
