I have never dated a Hispanic woman before my current girlfriend. I f*cking love it. She's perfect.0

In high school and my first year of college I used to be really into artsy guys (only making sense since I'm an art student) - skinny, long hair, piercings (my mom called them hobos lol)
Then I joined the military and while I haven't dated a military guy, just being in has definately changed my taste radically - Now I am attracted to clean cut guys.
A boyfriend I had when I was 17 is an example of this, when we were dating he was skinny with long hair and piercings. I saw him several months ago and now that he has taken his piercings out, cut his hair and put on a bit of weight I am way more attracted to him. whoops....0 -
Hey....I just got out of an extremely HORRIBLE relationship with my BF who is from Alabama......I'm a NYC girl......Born and raised the Italian-American way.
My ex loves nascar, hunting, fishing, mud riding, 4x4's, dirt roads, moon shine, whiskey.....
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE .....I'm only saying this because I care, watch to see if he drinks...and HOW MUCH he drinks. My ex is clearly an alcoholic yet won't admit it. His friends and family even says he's an alcoholic. He was also a drug addict.....I never knew til I did a background check on him. Also, see if he has somewhat of an edcuation. My ex dropped out of HS.....you see where I'm getting with this??
I LOVE country boys too and want to so desperately move back down South...because that's where my heart is. I don't like living in NYC, but I have no business being down south because all of my family lives up here.
Please take my mistakes and learn from them. I'm not saying that ALL country boys are like this. But it's almost the norm down there (also depending on the location and type of crowds you hang out with) You can even read my wall page....I was desperately 100% in love with this man only to find out he was a monster. He changed me and my ways of thinking....so don't change or lose yourself for anyone.....be who you are...keep that close to you.....
Thanks for generalizing every "country boy" into alcoholism. Wow...just WOW
That's what I'm thinking.
Pretty sure you can find alcoholic, dopehead, dropouts in every walk of life... not just the dirty south. As far as preferences go, when you're open minded, you never know who you might get along with.0 -
i've definitely dated people of different cultures than me as well as different ethnicities. stuff like not listening to the same music or tv shows are superficial details and not really good examples in my mind of why someone would be too different for me to datet . it's like me saying i cant date a white guy because he needs to use sunscreen and i dont and those differences are just so hard to overcome :laugh:
i guess i've been lucky enough to meet guys who are similar to me in that they realize that what's important is a shared or similar value system and general shared beliefs in things like being honest, having integrity, being kind and being affectionate. whether or not he watches my same tv shows, likes the philadelphia eagles, can sing every prince song with me is really not that important.
so no, i guess my type hasnt really changed since fundamentally i'm dating guys for deeper things rather than any particular set type0 -
My type was always average everything. Average height, average fitness, etc. Then I dated someone chubby, and I think I'm a chubby chaser now. :blushing: After that, I dated a more-fit guy, and I didn't like it as much. However, he did have great arm muscles, which made me love muscles again! Not too sure what I like anymore. Chubby with muscles? That doesn't make sense...
Chubby with muscles exists! lol My boyfriend is a big guy but he's got muscle under and you can see it. He's extremely strong. I love it because he's not smaller than me and not super musclely but just enough that he can pick me up and toss me around with no problem
Oy, I'm getting excited now lol
But to reply to the OP, I dated:
Older man (rocky relationship, ended badly)
Thespian type (didn't last long but he was a sweetheart)
Marine (he conveniently let me know he had another gf after returning from Iraq)
Country boy (he cheated on me via dating sites)
Geeky Gamer (My longest relationship so far. 2 years and still going strong!)0 -
I am currently in an LTR with a reliable, tall, blonde broker who is not quite "farmboy" (which would be my initial type), but a little bit country... in the city. I think he could transition nicely. I don't think he will ever be a calf-roping, sheep-purchasing, mud-truck runner BUT he has been making a big effort to friendly up to my horse.
He is the first really RELIABLE, stable guy. Previous to this, I dated a gypsy, who literally lived in the converted back of a postal truck and kept horses on big, open land. I was also involved with a musician in identity crisis who just couldn't make up his mind what he wanted, and a man who spent a large part of his life on the streets of TO and was 13 years my senior (I had just turned 18). I used to feed off of the drama of the volatile relationships and uncertain circumstances, but I love having someone I can count on. Physically, he is quite the opposite of what I go for (I usually prefer dark hair, light eyes, tall and lean muscle type (read: brooding!) but I think this could be my final answer. 0 -
I'm a sheltered Irish/German American. Small family, a hand full of aunts and uncles and then several cousins. My family is super religious, no on in my family ever been to jail, or serious trouble with the law. No tattoo's, no fighting, just do as we are told, stuff along that line. I was not allowed to watch anything that was above a "PG" rating, even as a teenager! I was an army brat too, most of my extended family are in the military too.
Now my husband, been together a total of 10 years, married 8. Him and his family is complete opposite. He is Italian/English American. He has dozens of aunts and uncles and tons of cousins, huge family! The English side was guards for the English nobility, and the Italian side is part of the Mob. Majority of his family aren't religious, they almost all have ink. Most have done jail time. They are fighters and don't take **** from no-one. No-one is military in his family, one of his cousins tryed it, but was booted for yelling back at the drill Sergent, and not following orders. lol His parents let him watch whatever he wanted, didn't care the rating. He got a laugh out of hearing I had never seen any of the movies her watched as a child, because my folks "banned" them.
When they say opposites attract, they weren't lying. lol We are so happy together and wouldn't change a thing!0 -

Everything.
More specifically...
As far as physical features go she's got this crazy out of control curvaceous body, beautiful long black hair, and great big beautiful eyes. Beautiful smile complete with the most adorable dimples.
Her personality is like no other. She's feisty, quick tempered, intelligent, kind, compassionate, simply amazing. One of the most caring and charitable people I have ever met.
She drives me wild in every sense of the word. Plus it's a total turn on when she speaks Spanish. Which I do not. But I am learning.
She was made for me, of this I am certain. 0 -

I don't have a type. Basically if I'm single, as long as I'm attracted to someone and they seem fun, I'm willing to try a date or two.0

Hm...well I've grown up in the country, but my last boyfriend was a computer geek and he and my best friend got me into gaming, anime, etc, plus skateboarding (mutual friends of ours...we hung out more frequently and our friendships developed) and got into not so good things as well...lol but that was that and I've learned lessons from my experiences and grew up a little from each one, so it turned out for the best. I don't think I have a specific 'type', but they should be fairly intelligent, nerdy, and not a complete *kitten* haha.0

Ah, stereotypes. Glad to see they're alive and well.
My type: women who can think beyond the kind of outfit a man wears.0 -
Also ^^this^^ massive massive MASSIVE let down.What I haven't dated:

Sugar daddy

Haha, too true.0 -

Haha, too true.
My sister dated a cop. He turned out to be the biggest psycho on the planet. My cousin married a fireman...not far behind lol.
Now, I'm not saying they're all that way...I'm just saying that people are people...regardless of the job they perform.0 -
Save a horse, Ride a cowboy. Wrangler butts still drive me nuts!!0

I don't know if I've ever had a type, but I actually grew up in the South with a lot of not-so-smart country guys who all chew tobacco, wear camo every day, and are infatuated with their big trucks.
I have to say, country boys are not for me. Besides, I absolutely loathe country music
I dated this guy in high school that taught me what I didn't want: irresponsible and with poor grammar skills.
My boyfriend right now is an intelligent guy who loves being healthy and cooking healthy things for me (yum!). From him, I learned that I love a guy that cares for our health and encourages me to work out together and eat healthy foods (with a slice or two of coffee cake every now and then.)
He's right in the middle of being categorized. He knows how to fix his own car, but reads me poetry at night. He's the one for me 0 -
My type changes every time I date someone new.
What does it change into? A new penis. Good enough for me.0 -
I always think i'm changing my type but they all end up to be basically the same person. I finally strayed away from drummers of bands to a guitarist... hah! He's kind of a country boy but mixed in with bro-hardcore. Horrible mixture. I have no idea how we get along at all hahah. Ah well, at least he treats me 110% better than anyone else i've ever seen.0

My heart is all like "Awe. Sweetest thing ever." but my brain it like "this is ****in awesome." I think they both suffice.0
