No, I've never particularly gone for any hair color as a
general rule--and my current fancy has the brownest of
brown hair!  No consequence, because his smile makes up for
it all, *Megan blushes*.

heterosexual, surely sexual dimorphism such as (tasteful

I've always thought chest-waxing exceedingly unnatural, as
small amounts of natural hair are perfectly normal and
acceptable.  If you don't naturally have chest hair, fine,
if you do--fine, too.

However, I don't I share Tabouli's...er, zeal for hair on
men (men? how about women?).  I've already bored enough
people to tears elsewhere without going into *MY* personal
rant on the extreme sexiness of eyes.  The mirror to the
soul--some men just have those certain eyes that, I swear,
almost glow and just draw me in so compellingly...*ahem*. 
Okay, well, that's definitely my attractor, <vbg>.

(Had a good response to this written about why she likes
these sorts--then it got erased and she also realized she
likes tanned, more rugged/athletic, brunettes as well)

Hmm, people in Texas generally (depending on age) query
people's profession just as a conversation starter.  I
don't really think they are looking for an answer so that
they can judge the person--it's more the polite thing to
do.  Younger generations, of course, will ask about the
school a person attends rather than profession.  Probably
even more common in Texas.
