How has your taste in men changed from when you were a teenager to now (please state your rough age!). Has what you found appealing drastically changed or do you pretty much like the same things in men you did when you were younger? I am curious to see what you say because at age 29, I still seek the same qualities in women (or I should say they still appeal to me) as I did when I was 18.

I'm 30...before I looked for the "bad boy" who seemed dangerous or aloof, I've grown out of wanting trouble or someone who cant show they care about anything.Now I like "mr.normal" dependable and trustworthy..someone not afraid to enjoy life.

Im now 27 and my taste has changed drastically since i was 18. I was extremely immature for my age and naive about the male genda. I always went for the "badboy" image without even thinking about the consequences and ended up in abusive relationships. Whether it was looks and personality - or just one or the other i cant really say seeing i still dont know.
I met my current partner nearly 6 years ago at a nightclub in my area and havent looked back. I liked him at first, but his positive outlook on life made me realise what i had not been missing when meeting other men. He doesnt smoke, occasionally drinks, never tried drugs and has the utmost respect for women. As for looks, to me he is the most beautiful person in the world and i have utter trust in him. But would i have gone out with him if i was 18? No way, i wouldnt have given him a second glance. I needed that gap to help me grow up and realise what i really needed in my life.

I'm also 29. My taste in men hasn't changed much but I found what I desire in a man has. I still love the bad boy, who drinks way too much, smokes too much pot, and calls me babydoll. But it's not what I desire to have in my life anymore. I don't want to worry if my man is going to get another DWI or fail a drug test at another prospective job. I want a man who can treat me good, keep a job for more than a few months, and my parents and friends like him. I finally found that man a couple of years ago and married him in July.

My taste in men has changed, but only because i only dated loosers, but were all my type (except one, but he was really hot anyway, and he was good to me)
My type hasn't changed at all. I like guys with dark hair long enough to grab, but *** crack long is too long. Middle of the back is long enough and i guess like 1 1/2 inches is as short as it can go. Green eyes.
Goth guys still turn me on, but not that whole emo thing, i think that look is worse than fannie packs!
He don't have to have money, but he has to be committed to holding down a job and taking care of responsibilities, and he has to work hard...I do, I don't want a lazy a**
Before I didn't care, now I do!

Well I used to be interested good looking guys, but I have come to realize that just doesn't cut it. I now am interested in man that is deep thinker and that is kind, faithful, honest and reliable.
I'm 23, does it really matter that I'm not 24? Some women over 24 still don't have a clue.

When I was a teenager, I like "band guys"....drummers and guitar players. Hard rock sort of stuff. I liked the guys who wore nothing but concert tee-shirts and had hot old muscle cars.. took shop classes.
In college, that changed very little. I fell in love with one too many stoners/drug dealers.
As an adult, I realized I am looking for a grown up man...someone responsible and who adores me and treats me well. Looks matter, but not so much anymore. I still love man you gets dirty.....my hubby rides MX, but I don't care for the drug-bad boy thing anymore. With age comes wisdom and the need for a more secure life. I got tired of settling for bad behavior I guess.

I think that my taste in men has remained the same. I am with the same guy that I was with when I was 18, so it must be the same now since I am still attracted to him. I am now 24.

As a woman matures her ideals also mature. I am 38
Back in the day, my 'ideal' guy had a cool car, a smart @$$ attitude, was drop dead gorgeous and just allot of fun. Kind of a rebel.
Now I prefer men who are educated, charming, gainfully employed, well spoken, courteous, happy and have a barber they see regularly.
I still do like them to be allot of fun, because life is too short not to have fun, regardless of your age. However my definition of fun has dramatically changed over the course of the years.

im 27..
it used to be about looks and fun. After being in a few long-term realtionships, i have realized the qualities that I appreciate and the warning signs of those i just cant live with. So in short, I have matured, and my list of qualities has become more defined (no necessarily longer, just less vague).
