The Hannah Montana star explained that she does not usually appreciate romantic gestures because she prefers fun and adventure.
Speaking to WENN, Cyrus admitted: "I like spontaneous men, guys who go with the flow, appreciate the outdoors.
"I'm not the kind of person who gets all warm and fuzzy over a candlelit dinner - that's a little too mushy for my taste. I like the beach. I like to get out and do things."
Cyrus is currently dating Australian actor Liam Hemsworth. It was recently claimed that she had described her new partner as "the one".
