What is your type, guys? Post your answer in the comments section and use three to five words or more to describe them.
If you are curious about what other gay/bi men’s types are, we have gathered some of their thoughts. And one guy, for example, revealed that he is into guys who are: “intelligent, compassionate, and like-minded;” while another said: “kind, funny, and supportive.”
There seem to be a high demand for funny guys as there were several responses mentioning them: “funny, nerdy, cute;” or “funny, hairy, sweet;” and there was also: “intelligent, funny, handsome” among many others.
But do people really have a dating “type?”
According to a study conducted by Yoobin Park and Geoff MacDonald in 2019 and as discussed by Psychology Today, yes, people do have a “type” when it comes to personality.
Psychology Today said that Park’s and MacDonald’s study showed, and we quote:
There was a significant link between the current and ex-partners’ personalities, even when adjusting for similarity to the respondent themselves. In fact, the results showed that on average, the unique association between your personality and your partner’s is as strong as the unique association between your current partner’s personality and your ex’s personality.
But is this true for everyone?
Park’s and MacDonald’s study found that yes, some people are very consistent when it comes to the type of people they date. Others, however, “might date many different types of people” specifically those who are moody and those who are the anxious kind as they have a propensity to choose “less desirable partners and to date people who were less similar to themselves.” In addition, people of this kind, Park’s and MacDonald’s study revealed, have been consistently associated with relationship problems such as “conflict, jealousy, and lack of forgiveness.” Read the article in full here.

Masculine, confident, sexy type guy. Rugged, short beard, average height and medium built.
My profile states what I like/am looking for: Looking for friends, maybe more. Only interested in guys 18-40 ht./wt. proportionate, honest, sense of humor, smooth, muscles are nice (but not necessary), who can have fun no matter where they’re at. Huge weakness for Latinos! NO PIC = NO CHAT Searching for a special guy who loves to kiss, cuddle, & also has a heart of gold. Are you him? Old, large, hairy, bear, cub, undetectable, PREP, piercings (other than ears – & only 1 in the lobes), &/or oral only? Thanks, but not interested. If wanting more: – NO DRUGS… Read more »
Lmao, sounds like you’re very aware that your wants/desires are quite unpopular, like you’ve run-in-to this before.
No, they’re not unpopular. Take a look @ profiles on here & you’ll see @ least 1 of these are listed.
Besides, why shouldn’t I ask for what I do(not) like instead of settling for less?
What kind of total asshat is uninterested in someone else just because they’re on PREP? I’m guessing you get laid about once every decade, if that.
What kind of total asshat(s) are putting negative votes against somebody’s personal preferences?
Well, John, sad to say but, between our own gay community, the world at large; we’ve contributed to some very shallow ways that the younger generation has only ‘negatively’ benefitted from. . . What we’ve ‘collectively’ taught them, “take the easy way” = quick gratification, not what’s harder to do, actually monogamous relationships. Seems like that whole mistake of the 60’s “free-love” no such thing considering the fallout; has morphed into what we’re seeing today how ‘mostly’ humans are sexually interacting. Does anyone really know where to go from here, or how to proceed in successfully getting love and giving… Read more »
I bet this guy is a blast at parties lol, u gonna be lonely forever with that many qualifications, chances are u are unattractive with a somewhat ok body, but have all these demands, I can put money on this lol
Interesting you say I have “many qualifications”. Take a look @ some profiles on here & see how many narrow their partner search to: early 20’s (+/- 2 years of a certain age), 1 set hair/eye color, 1 (maybe 2) race(s), a specific body weight, a specific body form, & a minimum penis length…..in other words, probably UNDER 1% of the gay population IN THE WORLD fit this description……yet people call me “picky”.
I like, older, men from 55 to 75 and are, hairy, somewhat in shape (a little belly is OK, I guess?), oh, and I love, back fur! I guess I like ‘em funny too?
I might be your type.
Passable, fem, smooth, sapiosexual nonflamboyant
Honest, compassionate, confident
I may be your type
Tall, Dark and Hung
Very shallow here. About sex. Black, hung, leather master, sex maniacs, sex maniac; that’s my top 5
At least you’re aware that you’re about as deep as a puddle.
Honestly, I like serious, mature, older bear type guys who are assertive. I’m goofy and funny so I love being with guys who are the opposite. Makes me feel good making a serious stern type guy all giggly and happy lol
I appreciate many ‘physical types,’ if that’s what you’re referring to; shorter statured, to taller, lean to plump-muscular, smooth to hairy, ash-black to winter-white, however, I ‘prefer’ dark-hair/eyes, not in stone though.
Aside from the physical, an over-all good being who has an open-mind sexually, adventurous, intelligent . . . and here it is; but yes masculine period, not acting, not toxically-so, compassionate. Empathetic, gentle, conscious of his spiritual-being.
Horny and adventurous are top on my list.
I can overlook anything else.
I myself am attracted to slender, smooth, slightly effeminate men. I prefer no body hair at all. Not into hairy bears or macho types.
There are so many things that make a man sexy. Small guys. Big guys. Dark men. Pale and pasty men. But eyes and lips, asses and armpits can trump many things. Fun; Dominatable; adventurer would do it for me.
a good hard one soon
Spontaneous, sexy, adventurous, brave/confident and caring.
Broad shouldered, masculine, fuzz butts, up and eager for what I do.
Looking a bottom in my age range I am 71 looking for 65 +. Funny? LOYAL, loving , into sex, and all the stuff we all want. Some day I really hope to meet him…
Hi there, I’m looking for a man like you
White Master, Total Top, Dominant, Real, Strict, Relentless, Wicked, Creative, Kinky and Nasty.
Horny,clean, hung top
A guy who is willing to fuck like an animal to determine compatabilty, and then date. Muscles, big dick, body hair
We all have ideal types. Agreed. But, variety is the spice of sex. Having sex with only your type, can get monotonous. Broaden your range. You’d be surprised at what variety will bring.
Wesley, I agree with you to a certain extent. Variety indeed is the spice of sex. But I won’t budge when it comes to personal hygiene and bears. Overweight guys and guys that are scare of soap, water and mouthwash stay away from me…My range is pretty much broad otherwise.
Agreed, Matt. Lack of personal hygiene is beyond the limits of my broad range, too.
I third that motion. As my friends could not understand my taste in men, physically speaking, but I’m probably what you’d call quirky as far as what draws me to someone. Which is why my tastes are pretty broad.
budge (correction)
Aggressive muscular older white daddy guys make me weak in the knees, I see a hot one I just wanna bend over or get down on my knees, immediately
I like Latino’s and uncut guys that like to kiss, cuddle, serious and are funny.
[…] guys! Recently, we talked about what your type is. Some of you said they are looking for someone who is “honest, compassionate, and […]
I like older daddy types
I love daddy types
