In current political climate, this question feels like a trap. A man expressing his preference (other that something hypocritical like “all women are 100% perfect exactly the way they are”) risks being called sexist in turn.
Ugh, this is not something I seriously considered. Let me be clear that if there’s a sense in which it’s a “trap” then it’s definitely not intentional on my part. I am sincerely curious about male preferences, whether the answer is something “politically correct” or that men literally only care about boob size. Littany of Tarski and all that. Also, your preferences are what they are, there’s no room for ethical judgement here IMO[1].
The behavior I associate with young women is wearing light colors, especially pink, and laughing a lot. The opposite of attractive behavior is bitterness, and crude materialism. If you try wearing pink (which I recommend trying), your behavior needs to match, otherwise it backfires.
Hmm, that’s interesting. I happen to like pink, but what does it mean that my behavior should match? Do I need to be fun and easy-going? I don’t think I come across as bitter, and I’m certainly not a “materialist” in that sense (I am interested in intellectual men, but I hardly care how much money they have). But, I might come across as serious and reserved. And if my behavior doesn’t “match”, am I better off staying away from pink?

It is possible to have a preference for something inethical but (i) it is only inethical to act on the preference, not to have the preference and (ii) there is definitely no obligation on anyone to date someone they don’t want to date (and conversely, consenting adults can do whatever).
I would appreciate it if downvoters explain why they downvote. My current best guess is, some people think romantic relationships is not an appropriate topic for LW, although I’m not sure exactly why. Too normie? Too low-brow? Not intellectual-coded? Anyway, I’m sincerely curious so thx to anyone who explains.
