Is it bad that I have physical preferences for guys (tall and muscular)?

So I get that personality is important in a relationship but I feel that I can't be in a relationship with someone who doesn't turn me on physically too. I prefer my men to be tall (over 6 ft), white, and muscular. Thats what turns me on the most in a partner, but I sometimes feel that I'm being too shallow by having these preferences. Is it bad that I am this way?

  • Everyone has their preferences. But do you treat people badly who don't meet those preferences? Do you trash people who don't meet them? (That's directed at anyone who reads this.)

    There is just no accounting for the things that turn people on or off, and you get to have your things. I have mine. All we can do is continue to be decent to other people any way.

    And, you just never know. The right shorter guy may just sweep you off your feet any way.

  • Immediate attraction doesn't last. I guess it depends on whether your looking for a fling or a relationship. Attraction can grow as you get to know someone, or it also can fade. You can have a preference why not? But don't knock the regular Joe's before you've tried em.

  • everyone wants a partner they are attracted to. Anyone who say that are OK with a partner who is ugly to them is lying flat out.

  • No, it is not bad at all. I have preferences, slightly different from you. It is natural to prefer a certain type over another.

  • no attraction is probably the most important thing in a relationship. some people say you can find physical attraction after building a relationship but I don't think it's true. if you have a preference of guys you are interested in then it's not wrong of you to follow your instincts and date those guys. everyone had their preferences whether it's looks or not, it doesn't make you any worse to like the way your partner looks

  • It's not shallow to have a preference. Everyone has a preference. However, if you are into a guy and he says that you're not his type... Please don't get upset or feel like you're not good enough.

    These type of things work both ways with both genders.

  • U can have a preference but try to look outside ur normal preferences as well.. might be surprised what you find

  • it's fine, everyone has their preferences.

    As you get older and discover more about yourself, your preferences change. so to take a snapshot of your current preference doesn't even matter.

  • Nope

  • It's ain't bad every person has his own preferences, the bad problem is that not everytime the person you like physically, will be the perfect one for you. But it's main thing that's important for a relationship.

  • And what should be his dick size? 8" inches?

  • Nope, people have their own preferences. You can like tall and muscular but others can like skinny (or whatever) and short. So nothing wrong with it at all.

  • Everyone have thier preferences😊

  • this thing not important at all... it's just state of mind. important is that Ur partner satisfied u in bed or not. that's important everything else secondary.

  • normal

  • Personality is important, but so is physical attraction as well. Any relationship without both will be unbalanced and likely eventually unhealthy

  • no to me it's fine a lot of people have them and what if he was tan like kinda tan

  • No, just make sure that it isn't the only/main thing you look for - there are a lot of assholes who fit that description.

  • Everyone has their own set of preferences. you're fine.

  • whatever float's your boat, but you might consider lowering your standards or you will have lots of problems in finding a guy

  • Not at all. I think it's healthy for all to have physical preferences

  • I don't blame you, but then again you described me so I'm biased.

  • Men always have physical preferences so you can too. I'm the opposite of you, I prefer girls to be short hahaha

  • Hell no.
    Everyone has their preferences

  • Whatever floats your boat
