Little things mean a lot.

[Guest Thunderbuns]

Was having breakfast this morning with a friend at a local noshery.

 

In walked a drop-dead gorgeous well dressed hunk - trust me - he was to die for!

 

I seriously considered jumping him and humping him on an empty table. Unitl - I happened to notice his shoes. They were butt ugly, down at the heels and extremly dirty, as in having never been introduced to polish and brush.

 

It was an instant turn-off for me. No longer any appeal. Is this weird? Do others get turned-off by little things that should be inconsequential - or is it just me?

 

A similar thing happened when looking at pics on the net recently. There was a really hot guy that pushed all my buttons. Until I got a close up of his hand clutching his cock. His fingernails were bitten down to almost nothing and what nails were left were caked with dirt.

Same thing - instant turn-off. Go figure........

I think it's a healthy thing for a gay guy not getting attracted to straight guys all the time.

This is how I feel about the majority of pics that Les posts.

Food particles lodged in facial hair has always been a minor turn-off for me.

"The Devil is in the details"! Trust your instinct, if a guy can't take care of his shoes/nails/facial hair - how would he take care of you??

From your own words, it seems apparent that you like things neat and tidy.....nothing wrong with that. I suspect we're all looking for the person who fits our idea of perfection. and of course, that perfect person exists only in our minds. We end up settling for close approximations of that ideal fantasy type, whatever that happens to be for us. My own tastes tend to run toward the eclectic and depend on my mood. Sometimes I may favor a squeaky-clean All-American boy type, and at other times a raver boy or punk with piercings and tattoos just might be what the doctor ordered. And then there's the fantasy of a hot, sweaty young cowboy who's spent the day in the saddle, smelling of horses and sweat and leather who needs someone to help him get cleaned up. Different tastes, different moods.......variety is definitely the spice of life.

You got that right!

 

Although I am broad-minded enough to enjoy several different types, I guess my favorite will always be the "All Anerican Boy Next Door" type. You know - the ones who don't wear socks with their well polished penny loafers. :-)

I totally agree with you about the fingernails; the guy might be

hot as hell, have the most congenial smile, the darkly brooding bedroom-eyes, the cock of a donkey and all other superlatives assembled I ever could imagine in one person ... I never ever could make out with him ... a definite no-go-item!!}>

 

But I have a different opinion for the guy with the unpolished shoes:

do your dates hop in your bed with shoes on, lol :-) ?

Mine definitely don't do it!

 

Have a nice day ortrud45

I'm with you, right down to the sockless feet in those Bass Weejuns. Your comments about the well-dressed guy with butt-ugly shoes is very interesting, because shoes are probably the most important part of a man's wardrobe when it comes to conveying his taste. He may wear a very expensive suit, with a beatiful shirt and tie, but if his shoes are wrong -- well, the whole thing's down the tubes. (This, by the way, isn't my opinion alone. I know that employment interviewers for businesses make notes about a man's appearance and wardrobe, and that they take special account of the shoes.) And if he passes the shoe muster, even, what would you do with chewed-off dirty fingernails? Yes, grooming is partly a matter of one's own taste. But it also sends a powerful signal about how well a man cares for himself and, by extension, others. I don't think your on-now, off-now response was at all unusual. Clearly, however, he was straight. If he'd been gay, his shoes would have been clean, at least, if he'd gone to so much trouble otherwise.

For me it's pubic lice, so abundant you could start a PL circus or, better yet, a plurality of dingleberries hanging low from a very long-haired bullring.

 

Of course, cauliflower between missing teeth and warts around the prepuce rank a close second.

Gentlemen:

 

Normally I would agree with the desire for the well put together and rather preppy boy next door type but when I visited the Nob Hill Theatre in San Francisco back in the spring I received a jolt to my very senses.

I met a young dancer at the theatre interested in having me hire him for a private show in the rear of the building. This young man was adorned with multiple piercings and gaudy bleached and spiked hair. I explained that I wasn't interested but I was respectful and gracious. As I began to walk away he put his arm around my waist and whispered in my ear " Just once in your precious safe life let yourself go. I am nastier than anything you have ever dreamed of and I do everything."

I gave this young man his asking price of $100 for thirty minutes and followed him into the small cubicle and he locked the door and did everything I had ever dreamed of and then . . . he took me places psychologically and emotionally that I honestly had never even imagined existed in my mind. He just kept whispering that he was nastier than me because he had no inhibitions and then he just kept proving it. There were no substances involved and there were obviously people standing near the cubicle listening to everthing we were doing. None of this mattered. I felt like I was refilming "9 1/2 Weeks" or "Blue Velvet". He completely overwhelmed me and I loved it. I was totally obsessed with him and to this day thoughts of him bring instant erections and a sheen of sweat on my upper lip. I gave over completely and would have done anything he asked. Because of this experience I do not now rule out unkempt shoes.

Which Nob Hill boy was this? My personal favorite (in this current crop) is James (the surfer boy).. but he has been out of town for a while now! Yours sounds like a great replacement!

The nastiest boy I have ever known is Simon. I have his blessing to post his name here.
