Do you have a TYPE?

Do you always go for the same type of person when looking for a relationship ? In all my dating history, none of my partners have really had anything in common. They don't look alike, they have different tastes etc. The only thing they have had in common is that they were almost all younger than me. My father has dated a lot of women since he divorced my mum but I think they have all looked alike and think he goes for a certain look. Do you have a type? If so, what do you look for?

I used to... tall, skinny, white guys with expressive, laughing eyes all the way. I think I'm still attracted to that type, but my boyfriend now is average height, white, average sized with pretty blue eyes. He's also the nicest, most honest and noble guy I've ever dated and our relationship is more productive than destructive. Maybe sometimes we're attracted to a type because it reminds us of something from our past? In some cases, maybe not a good something but something we're just familiar with? All I know is, everytime I've differed from my physical type I found a good guy.

I hope that my partner would think of me in that way saying someone is honest, nice and noble is such a great compliment. I hope he appreciates how you feel x

I don't really have a 'type' as such that I look out for when seeking a relationship. Looking back at my partners, none of them really have much in common. I do admit that I prefer guys who are taller than me (but which girl doesn't *lol*). So that way, most of my partners have been fairly tall and well built (not necessarily full of muscles but lean). In a night club for example, I tend to notice guys who are really good dancers - and somehow they also seem to be the guys who are pretty well dressed, quite trendy, and are generally quite expressive amongst their group.

I used to have the type that was the tall Abercrombie and Fitch model type, around 25,very preppy and too goodlooking so they were full of themselves. Those guys were nice to date and see every once in a while. But my boyfriend now is nothing like that. He is older and extremely funny, and hes alittle insecure at times. I like him and want to be with him 20 times more than i ever wantedto be with my old type. I think people shouldnt have a type because it can keep them from picking the one person that is actually right for them.

I don't have A type, i have different types, lookwise. It always seems that they have something qiurky. Most of my partners i had in the past are concidered wierd and not attractive to others, maybe that's why i find them so attractive. I do like people that are less dominant then me as partner. I am qiute dominant in a relationship, so I attract more submissive partners.

I dont think I have a type. My boyfriends have varied in ages, shape, height etc. I've dated guys in their 50's and 60's as well as guys my own age. Just a case of, when there is a spark of chemistry there, I get attracted

I go for older guys. They have more experience of life and know what they want from it. Guys my age are only interested in aprtying and having fun. Yeah I like both but I couldn't date myself and wouldn't date anyone just like me ;-)
