    I think I’d like myself as another person, but am still properly critical of myself as me.

    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.

    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.

    Nope, with same gender folk I find they usually have something striking or unusual in their appearance and I’m far too normal middle of the road looking to fit that.

      Yeah, but i asked especially if you or anyone looked like someone they would like to have sex with.

      So, do yo?

      (This is just a chill and funny question, pal. Just play along if you will)

        Appearance is never a sufficient factor on its own, but in my own case appearance, I wouldn’t consider it a disqualifying factor. Though me a few years ago wouldn’t have to try as hard, for sure…

          Good to know, thanks for play along! And you’re right, appearance is not everything. If someone is veey attractive and even my type, but is the biggest piece of shit ever, I’m just not interested at all.

    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.

      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?

        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.

    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.

      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.
