When I asked her why she liked Dean better, she had to whisper it in my ear, giggling: "Because he's *cute,* Mommy."
You can tell I've spent too much time on FB, when I looked for the LIKE button.
And then Sam sashays into the picture and he's not just tall but huge and all the shallow comes slamming back. Good god, man. There's something about 6'4 and up that keeps turning my head.
This. I don't mean to be sizist. I've dated 5'6" to 6'5". The upper range continues to float my boat though. I'm convinced because at 5'8", I was one of the tallest in my class until at least Jr. High. It felt good not to be the taller one finally, and evidently that has stayed with me.
JP at least looks proportional. Too many tall guys, even athletic ones, have that overly wide shoulders/overly thin hips thing that I don't like going on. ("Swimmer's build" is not a plus to me; if you're over 6' "linebacker's build" works much better IMHO.)
Short men tend to strike me as hotter, on average.
The tall guy who set things off for me was a skinny geek for most of our acquaintance, and he looked decent. Then he started cycling avidly, and hummina. But still not linebacker proprtions, though not wide shoulders.
Johann, from krav, is about 6'4, and is textbook "Oh, now that's pleasant!" for me at that height, although he does bulk up to bigger sometimes.
JP's definitely an outlier for how weak that big makes me.
Oh, he's lovely, ita.
I actually prefer swimmer's build to linebacker build. Well, no, I actually like baseball-player build best, which is usually nicely toned but overly muscled, without that too-broad shoulder thing going on.
Linebackers always look overly-testosteroned to me.
Basketball player build for me, thanks. I like it when they look long. Buncha sexy freaks.
Crap, I meant to say *not* overly muscled.
I like the basketball player build, too. I also very much enjoyed watching JP play basketball in Changing Channels.

Johann does definitely look to be wearing the height well.
Thought: what is the rest of fandom's reaction to Lisa post 5x22? The non-D/C contingent, that is. Is she just hated all around because, either way, she's taking Dean from Sam and/or Cas? Are there good Dean/Lisa fics out there? I don't mean curtain fic, I mean legitamately dealing with Dean's issues regarding Sam's imprisonment in Hell and Lisa being a single mom taking in an almost-stranger with issues.
I really liked bluealbino's DCBB. The big bad being a
cute pussy cat
almost made me larf and larf, in a fannish-meta way.
I also want to drunkenly post a Do Not Want Meme to all the DC communities to stop the madness. His nickname is not an issue, at all! Zachariah is not integral to the character of Cas to include as a family member! Cas is not a wilting flower! There should be a new category for tags called "I just wanted to write porn and wanted you in this fandom to read it, but it really has nothing to do with the characters or the overall story at all!". Like how gropedbyanangel now has subcategory tags for it's au, the kink tags should have a subcategory of, like, "unnecessary" or "fandom abuse".
