I'm not saying she isn't pretty as hell. She certainly is. But I dunno. Pretty as hell isn't as interesting to me, sexually, if that's all a girl has going for her. Some quirks for character and a real physical sensuality draw me in a lot more.
I mean, I'm also 6'6 and 300+ pounds, remember. The waif thing always kind of freaked me out on a weird sort of "Lenny in Of Mice and Men" kind of level, you know? It is off-putting to me when I think through the fact that, like, if I were to actually have physical intimacy with that very tiny woman, things Might Not Go Well and maybe that colours my ability to have a fantasy about that kind of girl.
My whole life, the girls I've dated and the girls I've had intense attractions to have mostly been either a little heavier than "standard" or tall (I have a real Thing for tall women) or really strong physically or stuff, I think I've internalized that fear, maybe. Hell, to think of it, the one woman who was waigiraffe in every other way that I've at one point fixated on in my life, even she was plump in the rump and wide in the hips, despite being willowy and skinny and short in all the other ways.
Or, I dunno, maybe I'm just Descending Toward Age, and my value on a Picture Perfect woman is kind of low in relation to women who just kind of exude raw sexuality and seem like they aren't so dainty that they would definitely come with all the insane demands of being dainty. Maybe I look at a Zooey type and realize that actually interacting with Traditionally Super Pretty women is basically a trip down the long stairs to hell and that spending time with a slightly-trashy earth-momma who could drink me under the table like Joplin would be a lot more interesting way to spend that time.
