A lot of us comic readers are guys. A lot of us started reading/ were already reading when we began to develop "those feeling." 

Man I had the hots for Janet Pym. Circa Avengers 161. 

All day. All night.

From a comics perspective I was a bit older (9 or 10) so all of the female superheroes got me...  However, I can remember being really young mesmerized by Lynda Carter running in a Wonder Woman episode and my dad saying "I'm a b--b man too; you come by it honestly".

Pretty sure it means I inherited it from him!

^I think it means inherited it, as opposed to just being a freelance pre vert.

So, strong women don't threaten you?

That's ugly. She was hot in issue 161. Maybe she is strong, my wife is, I was just looking how she was drawn

Yeah, just messing around, I grew up reading in the late 70s early 80s too, and whenever I see the kewpie doll Janet I picture this one -

Exactly. I feel something now and I'm 51.  Where is that from? Is that 161? Damn that burnt into my brain

For me it was Mary Jane. That sleeveless black top still sends shivers down my spine and looks just as hot today as it did 51 years ago.

I do have to admit I had a crush on Black Canary back in the early 80s which would make me 8-9 years old.

Starfire and Big Barda.  Must be something about those tall curvy aliens.

Oooh, what a great topic.  For me it was always Mary Jane...especially the Todd McFarlane version.  Just ridiculous proportions.  

[Patriot6]

Betty and Veronica!

[MustEatBrains]

Think I was 10 or 11 when it hit me.  Had a thing for the white rabbit... Be gentle with the jokes.

Only woman for me. Have wanted an interplanetary sweetheart ever since! (I don't own the artwork.)

I was also kind of partial to Wonder Girl, especially Nick Cardy's rendition. Her in this Santa suit from Teen Titans #13 is one of my favorites.
