Quite often you will hear someone dismiss a potential friendship with the declaration - he is not my type or she is not my type - yet shortly thereafter - those two are a couple. Has that ever happened to you ? - becoming romantically involved with someone who at first you did not consider to be your type? We know that opposites do attract, but would you think of having a permanent relationship with someone who has different likes and dislikes, different beliefs, hobbies etc. A couple who live near us have been married for little over twenty years and they support different political parties. What kind of person would be your type? If you have already found him or her - what was it that first attracted you to that person ?

@amadeo You are still together - many married couples don't last five years . I got out after two months of married life.

My wife and I have differences in many things like she doesn't think I am good for kitchen but we go well. I mean we generally don't fight and even if we do we patch up before things reach to a breaking point. I know who is my type within first few minutes when I meet them and talk to them.

@Kandae11 The problem is that she thinks the kitchen belongs to ladies and men are good for outdoors (she is a lecturer by profession) I don't think she will change her mindset whatever I do.

I don't think I ever had a "type" it was always who I was attracted to. I guess the one think I looked for is someone tall, so opposites do attract as I am quite short.

Someone from a good family, healthy, tall dark and handsome, having a good job, having the right age yes. I found all that in my husband. Love developed slowly after marriage. .

Although it hasn't happened to me I have seen it happen to others when I was still working. I have always been attracted by good looking men but I never seem to strike up a friendship with them, mostly because good looking men are narcissistic

I was married to one and as the saying goes - "handsome is as handsome does". In a very short period his actions made me forget that he was good looking.

My husband and I met at a party and were attracted to each other immediately. I loved his sense of humor, his looks, and his intelligence. That's my type of guy. I broke up with my long time boyfriend shortly after.

This is an interesting question. I don't really know what my 'type' is but we've been married for 46 years and for the most part very happily so I guess maybe we were meant for each other.

I think too many people concentrate too much on their 'type,' and as a result miss out on what may have been solid relationships while instead choosing bad ones. I say just go with the flow and don't worry about the small stuff. Especially physical attraction. If beautiful people, for example, were the key to long lasting relationships, Hollywood would have the highest rate of longevity in marriage. In fact, they have the shortest.

They certainly do, however there is great temptation in Hollywood and I am surprised that some marriages last as long as they do.
