I talk to one of my friends about boys a lot. It’s not to be helped because of the incest rings (for instance, if you hook up with one person in Ann Arbor, you can probably trace yourself to every other person who’s ever visited the 8 Ball).
“You should write about it!” she said.
“You realize I would get repeatedly killed, right?” I replied.
We’ve been talking about “types” recently. One of my friends doesn’t have a type.
I don’t really either, but I have noticed a pattern in what attracts me to a guy, and it’s severely different than the guys I was attracted to when I was living in Flint. I think that, like evolution, my taste in men has morphed to accomodate to what is around me in Ann Arbor:
dark unruly hair
a certain dorky/nerdishness
a sarcastic/borderline asshole/self-depricating sense of humor
tortured somehow, be-it because he hates his job or his roommate
downplayed decor, but with touches of splurging on the nerdy and/or artsy hobby: music equipment, zombies, videogames, vintage typewriters, cameras and photography, scooters, comic books
either did not finish college, or is perpetually in college
has a vice, usually smoking, drinking, or recreational drugs
has an indie job that they love or hate, but is not a professional job: bookstore, used CDs, food service, barista, video store clerk, movie theater
is uncircumcised, or would have chosen to remain uncircumcised had he had the choice
aetheist
black plastic glasses, or has the potential to look good in black, plastic glasses
a tattoo, or multiple tattoos
broke
tendency to grow beards either by choice or lack of motivation to shave
not sappy romantic, but still a gentleman: will pay for your drink at the bar, or give you a can of Miller Lite if he’s got it
kids and family are the absolute last thing on their mind
However, there are certain qualities that will remain no matter where I am and those are the unchangeable qualities as follows:
politically on the same wavelength
hip hop/motown roots in music taste <– difficult in Ann Arbor
absolutely no small penises
