What's your type?

A girl from work and I were chatting tonight on Facebook about this. I like a guy, but I know I am not his "type". I have seen the kind of woman he seems to take interest in and trust me when I say I am nowhere near what he seems to be interested in. She was telling me that I need to just put myself out there because everyone seems to have a type that they say they are into, but it is mostly because that is what society expects them to be interested in and that is not always what they are actually drawn to. Thinking about it, I am not sure I really have a type. My last 2 ex's were nothing alike and this guy is really nothing like either of them. Do you have a type or do you just go with the flow and consider everyone?

I assume you've seen pictures of my hubby.. big, tall, bald, and kinda mean looking.. LOL. My first boyfriend was an average sized black guy.. My second boyfriend was a tall, stick thin, blue eyed, blonde hair guy.. A bit all over the place, LOL. Mostly I'm attracted to facial features first, personality second. I truly have no explanation for the second boyfriend.. he was ugly and a jerk! LOL

Yeah, all over the place. That would be about how you would describe my tastes in guys I guess. To be honest the guys I typically end up with are losers, so I guess this guy would be a major improvement.

At my age? I suppose my type would be one that is breathing and can make his way to the bathroom seriously though, I have always been attracted to men who possess beautiful speaking voices. The voice - must be articulate - has done it for me every time. Only that one thing in common although i did not date much when single. But the moment I heard my husband speak then POW

Hi,lilybug! Well,sometimes even if you are not somebody's type,when he is with you long enough,you will begin to be his type as well.Sometimes people just change their preferences.If your personalities are strong,it would be hard not to have someone drawn to you.Hope this guy can change his mind. I do have a type,the responsible and humorous ones.These two personalities are essential.I want someone to make me happy most of the time,if not all the time.Haha. Have a nice day,my friend!

I tend to be very open minded.I'm drawn to intellegence in a guy.I also love guys who love to read books and have a artist side to them.I like adventures and a guy who also like little adventures.He has to have a seet heart but bad boy looks.I like a guy who looks tough like he can protect me.

I don't really have a particular type as I am more into feelings. :) But, what's interesting is that all of my ex seems to be related to music. My first boyfriend is a vocalist, the second is a keyboardist, the third is a drummer, and my current boyfriend is a lead guitarist. :)) Weird.

I do have a type...and a specific list of what's required! LOL....my kids get so mad at me....but after years of being a single parent I have now used my time to do my thing. Once the kids moved out I was free as a bird...so for the last 10 years I have started my own little business etc. My type must be willing to put up with some of it! Like craft sales!

I have spent the last, oh about 5 years, not really caring about what my type is. I find it a little strange that I have a crush on anyone. Especially considering who this guy is.

I would say that when I was out in the dating world that I did have a type, but that didn't stop me from dating people that were not exactly my type looks wise. Weather or not I continued to date someone depended on how ambitious they were. I never stuck with a guy who did not have any ambition, a guy had to have some kind of a future or I would break it off right away before I got attached to a loser.

My last few relationships were with losers. I guess that is a lot of the reason why I have not bothered trying to date in a few years.

I don't really think I have a particular type but most of the guys that I have gone out with are tall,funny,confident and athletic.But I have dated guys that aren't exactly like that and I don't think i prefer one more than the other

Well...to be honest..I have what I call a type in my mind...the thing is..I have never dated anyone like him so I am thinking maybe he isn't my type either

When we are at the beginning of love stage, it is really hard to know the type that we have interest with. Only over the time, after a few dates, then we will have the feeling and got to know what type of guy that can makes us feel comfort. I finally married to my boyfriend because he can provide me the secure and comfort that i had longed for. Indeed, everyone of us is longing for different type of guy to fall in love and getting married.
