Hm, I tend to fancy girls that are rather thinner than my mother (who's not
particularly fat, but, well, solidly built). As hair colours go, I for some
reason like the extremes - very blond blond, very black black, and
particularly very bright, very red red. Mother's a middle brown.

Or, perhaps men who look like their mothers? It may be nothing more than
prejustice on my part, but I've got the impression many gay men fancy rather
androgyneously looking men. Having said that, I'm probably going to get a pile
of mail from gay conlangers who'll tell me how they love uber-masculine-
looking men ...
