But.

Dark hair vs. Light hair - which do you prefer?
Tan skin vs. Fair skin -
Thin vs. Curvy
Round faces vs. Oval faces

Beauty definitely can be a compilation of all these elements. But which do you prefer?

Well... while I like many differant elements, if I were put on the spot I'd say:

Dark hair, fair skin, thin and an oval face.

How's that? But really, I'm not picky. I prefer intelligent, independent, artistic, original, funny, assured, and clever over other traits as well.

Oval faces are very attractive -- trust me on that one.

Pshh. I don't think it really matters. Aren't there more face shapes than just oval or round, anyway?

Sure, there's square and several others. I just can't think of them at the moment. In my port there's a 20's style nude of a girl wearing a headscarf; she has an oval face. I think she's very pretty (she's also a very good friend of mine).

But really, I'm not nearly as picky as I sound (all of my friends seem to think I am, though).

You are missing red hair, freckles, and heart-, square-, and triangle-shaped faces.

Personally, light hair, fair skin, reasonably curvy, and oval- to heart-shaped faces.

Crap! You're right! I really meant heart-shaped faces! My bad. When I was referring to oval faces I really meant heart-shaped faces. Methinks it's getting a tad late, even for me. Do'h!

If only you knew me you'd understand... or not. I really don't know anymore...

That's good though! Those were the responses I was looking for, actually. big_smile

I didn't put down red hair because I consider red hair to be light hair, not dark. So I summed up and put dark vs. light, rather thanblack vs. blonde.

But yes I completely agree.... every port needs diversity... I have just noticed a few photos only shooting a certain look, and it just made me think about the lack of diversity.

Yup.
I have a heart shaped face and red hair, so I'm just getting left out all over this thread! Gee, thanks.

Depends on how I have her tied up and which implements of pleasure I am using. Oh, and if it's Tuesday as opposed to Saturday... that makes a difference too.
