I didn't think so until someone pointed out a disproportionate number of bald dudes with ginger beards in my past.

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

I'm actually kind of soft-hearted for the geek type. Not the socially dysfunctional ultra-nerd type, but rather the people who have an area of expertise that matches their area of passion.
Like my SO is an electrical engineer who'll happily talk anybody's ear off about the weird stuff he makes for fun and profit at home. I don't understand more than about one word in four when he goes off on it, but his obvious happiness and passion for something unconventional is just a source of joy for me.
In the past I've had that kind of relationship with a people who were that way about specifically motorcycles, quilting, computers, etc.
this is so sweet 😭
Does "femboys" count as a type?
Yes. Billy Idol and other blonde English dudes (e.g., Sting, Johnny Lee Miller, Spike from BTVS [yeah the actor is from California but I'll overlook it!]).
But in person, I like an easygoing, jovial personality who makes people around them feel good. Someone who doesn't punch down. Someone who is educated but not beyond a dumb fart joke when the situation calls for it. Someone who is kind even when he doesn't have to be. Someone who takes care of his body. Someone who isn't afraid to be vulnerable and also isn't afraid of female tears.
The type I like to idealise or fantacise about are all triangular, himbos and f o r e a r m s but the type I'd like to actually be with are softer, squidgier and silly, somebody that is just going to be fun to be with.
Is good hygiene a type?
I have a soft spot for nerdy men that are also a bit muscular and a little insecure. Otherwise I usually don't find men interesting
Occasionally I'll find myself physically attracted to a person I assume is a man. Then I'll find out they're some flavor of trans, or he says/does something unattractive.
Yeah, nerdy white guys who are obsessed with Star Trek.
