Curious if it is still okay to hold physical preferences as man in the dating scene.
I myself am fairly physically fit, having been a competitive athlete for the last 16 years. I like to do active things like hiking, go to the beach, swimming, going to the gym frequently, and competing in races and such.
So my preference is more or less similar, albeit to a lesser degree. Basically someone that goes to the gym or plays sports and physically embodies that.
Obviously this isn’t the only preference I hold, but admittedly it is a significant one when I factor in initial attraction.
Is it unreasonable in this day and age to have these preferences? I feel like a lot of the time I’m made to feel like it is wrong to have these preferences, even though it is simply what I’m attracted to. Most of the women I have been on dates with have been fit and healthy also.
Of course not. Dating should be consensual and enthusiastic. That includes fulfilling your physical and aesthetic needs rather than forcing yourself into something that you consider unappetizing.
That being said sometimes preferences are a little too specific to fully fulfill.
My ideal woman is tall & flat with red curls. Ain't getting that anytime soon.
