I can only speak for my personal preferences as an admirer, but I am attracted to masculinity and, as such, most of the guys I date exemplify that. I also very much enjoy relationships with transmen who are open about their transition and like to spend hours deconstructing gender and talking about their experiences with gender and privilege. It keeps me mindful of my own privilege and helps me be more compassionate.
I have noticed a bit of a propensity toward short-tempered-ness (that's not even a word) but I really can't say for sure if it is related to the individuals being trans, or just part of their innate personality. Either way, it is frightening to me, and is a big turn-off.

A question for those who admire us: What types of characteristics in an FTM/Transman attracts you to us? Turns you off?
*I appreciate and respect the honesty and incite anyone would like to share!
