Your Favourite Whitney Memories: 'Singing At The Back Of The Bus'
Jamie Lee Curtis: Blame It On The Fame Game?
Tall, dark and awesome? Not necessarily.After a new poll revealed that the women love slight stubble and a little cushion, we made our own list of the types of guys we're secretly attracted to. Turns out we're not the only ones with strange crushes -- you guys shared the unconventional kinds of men who make you weak in the knees.
HellHathNoFury writes in, saying, "Laugh all you want, but if Professor Snape from Harry Potter was in a 50 mile radius of me and several other women I know, there would be nothing left of him but a blushing, shaking mess."
Asks Wonderette, "Can we get the Sheldon Cooper: Tall, lanky, pale, neurotic, geeky, genius?"
Readers swing both ways on the age scale. Molly says,"Oh, definitely the younger guy. You know, the one who's really easily corruptible due to their age? The more naive, the better, I've found." Kaye finds herself on the opposing end: "The trim 40-something bachelor who's seen a lot and has the scars/stories/cynicism to prove it. There's just something about a really experienced, hardened, mature man."
Donnasgirl has a thing for the Jeff Goldblum type. "His tall lanky build and dark expressive eyes gets me going," she proclaims. "Throw in a goatee or a scruffy beard and I am smitten. He is the reason I watch the overplayed Jurassic Park for the umpteenth time."
Tell us! What other types of guys do you secretly dig?

Well, it's not a secret, but Kevin Smith totally and completely does it for me. He just has the best sense of humor and he's cute. He's snarky and I bet you that he gives GREAT hugs. I'd love to meet him.

Tall, lanky geeks---from the Sheldon Cooper-type to Jeff Goldblum. The geekier the better. Extra points if they wear glasses because they have to, not because they want to look cool.
Also geeky older British gents, like Rupert Giles. Angel and Spike were cool, but I always had the hots for Giles. He can consult my books any day!

Any color,nice teeth, nice eyes and big biceps. I want to feel safe in his arms.But most of all a sense of humor. I don't mind a little fat but just a little. Better without any.Oh and at least 5'10 cuz I'm 5'9".

I don't know why, but I have a very definite "type"- I never realized it until I thought about the guys I've dated in the past. I tend to have a thing for short, skinny, wiry guys, and guys with brown hair and blue eyes. All but one of my boyfriends have fit this profile, but it wasn't something I specifically sought out, it just happened. It's funny too, because I'm 5'9" and have brown eyes and hair, but whenever I see a little, compact body and striking baby blues, I get weak in the knees....mmmmm!

yes mintrubble i am single not because i want to be but because after my last boyfriend who was lets say, a combination of Jude Law and George Clooney (in his younger day) and who was so masculine and hunky naturally without working out, was so beautifully endowed, endlessly handsome and exuded sexuality proudly without even trying, a force of nature...I cannot find anyone who eliicits , for me, any interest..no one who stirs my passion not even just enough to make me want to flirt etc. See. I live in NYC where the proverbial metrosexual who has his face buried in his stupid Iphone, cell phone with the little buds in his ears with his ipod and his thumbs wildly texting after a day of his face buried in a computer screen at work he emerges pale and flaccid from no sun exposure and deskbound and obsessed with making money to impress some bimbo women and so that he can buy a bottle service table at some boring New York lounge club and he is unsexual if not asexual and the men have no soul left and they are insecure, ugly and shallow possibly chubby and out of shape and doesnt care or too slick and cares too much..whatever he isnt getting a rise out of me and you can ask millions of women who will say the same thing that no men stir their passion today because they have sold their souls and they are conformists and not individuals and now they want to develope a female viagra because women have such low sexual desire and why is that? it is because the men cannot stir the woman to desitre because they have become ugly. the real men somehow are in the Marines or serving in afganistan somehow they become men when they serve...sorry it has to take that..even in my dad's sgeneration men looked and acted like men and the men were way more handsome and real even the men who you see pictured as soldiers in Vietnam those men were so handsome and real..something is wrong with men today they are just boring goons and I never wanted to dislike men i used to look up to men but somewhere along the way they fell from grace or soemtjhing and that is why so many women are drinking and miserable and going with the worst ugly unsuitable men when a woman like Lohan and Spears and the most gorgeous..Jessica Simpson have to grovel at the likes of that ugly slimey stupid looking John Mayer that is PATHETIC PATHETIC and it just shows what slim pickings there are. and we live in the Age of Misogyny afterall and women are hated by men or disliked and they will not help you carry your grocery ags up the stairs or will they pick you up if you fall they wont even look at you and I never wanted to end up bitter.. i did not come from a broken home my father has stayed loyal to my mother in marriage for 28 years...so men did this to themselves they are pathetic crude and obnoxious for the most part and you can also thank MTV and VH1 for corrupting male and female role models these shows are disgusting and reinforce the worst low class types of people and the American public sucks it up and watches this filth. I hope none of you have daughters because they will not find suitable partners and may end alone and never pair bonded which is a beautiful state of affairs when it happens but men are too busy hating women and being slobs.

Personality has a lot to do with it. Humor, honesty, family man, respected by others and respects others, just a little bit of "bad guy", doesn't take himself too seriously, and lastly, looks. Hugh Jackman springs to mind as does the guy who plays Patrick Jane on The Mentalist (sorry too early in the am to think of his name). Pretty boys like Brad Pitt and Rob Lowe are just too good looking.

Guys that could pass for gay, but aren't. They're more relatable and less likely to be jerks.
