Girls saying they have a 'type'

^This. I thought I had a type too when I was younger. But that is because I was pretty sheltered. I only knew the guys in my high school. Now that I'm a bit older, I have seen different types of people. I realized that I am more into the person themselves, and whether we have chemistry, rather than they fit a "type".

I have two "types" that I've always been attracted to, and they couldn't be more different from one another. The first is the "nerdy & sweet" boy, and the second is the tattooed rebel type. I generally have been attracted to thin/average build guys, and have almost exclusively dated men with dark hair. I have a weak spot for dark, curly hair and blue eyes. I wound up marrying a reformed bad boy, someone who'd had a bit of a dark past and moved forward in his life. He's intelligent and sensitive, and sort of a perfect blend of my two "types".

That said, while I've stuck pretty closely to specific personality types when dating (back when I dated, that is), I was a lot more flexible as far as looks go. I might initially be attracted to the guy in the room with the dark curly hair, blue eyes and tattoos up his arms; however, if a really sweet blonde boy came up to me and showed kindness and a good personality, I wouldn't exactly write him off for not meeting my expectations. It was my experience that, when I dated the well-built, Ken-doll, model type of guys, I (more often than not) wouldn't have a lot in common with them, and I'd wind up bored out of my mind. The guys I wound up falling into serious relationships with were ones that I wasn't attracted to initially then, as I got to know them, they became more and more physically attractive in my eyes. Some of the guys I dated were probably thinner than I'd normally go for, some were a bit rounder... it varied. So I guess I could say that my "type" might influence who I'd approach initially, but it didn't really have an affect on whether or not I would stick around.

Never really gave it a second thought what type of man a women usually dates. Young ladies tell me, that I am not like any other guy they have ever met. Perhaps that is the "type" they want, I dunno....

My hubs is thicker/muscle-y. And he's pretty funny too I have always preferred black hair and blue eyes, but my husband has brown. Really that stuff doesn't matter if you find the right person.

Thank God I'm rich enough to be every girls type.

Right now i guess you could say i have a type, i like scruffy baby faced guys who are heavier. lol.. perhaps i will grow out of this one, but i always consider those types to be like.. the "teddy bear" types.

I'd say 'types' are a high school way of thinking about being attracted to people. Once people get old enough they pretty much could be attracted to anything if they let themself. When i think of a 'type' of person i'm attracted to (physically speaking) i would probably say "lean, not too big not to skinny. white because i've never been physically attracted to anyone of different skin color (can't help it), probably light eyes and light hair with an amazing smile. Not too furry but clean appearance."

essentially it's describing my dream guy in my head, but it's not strict to that type. I would, and have, dated people outseide of that because essentiually it's personality you want to look for. If ones personality is attractive, no matter how flawed they are to the 'type' you come up with in your head you can love them hope that helped a bit.
