Do You Have A Type?

haha now this is funny.. i have been like this too.. i would say "he is not my type" often when i am being paired by my friends to someone i dont like. i guess its the easier way to decline a person without really saying why you do not like that person. cause he/she is not your type... does not mean you dislike his looks or personality but simple you dont find him attractive because he is not the kind of person you are looking for.

you know what when women ask me my type liek " So what is your type ?" i simply say i know what it is but i cant go into detail probaly because i have too much detail maybe that tells me something about myself lol like yes she has to be a coversationist to the fullest but not soo much to talk my head off ...she has to make me laugh as i do to her , good looking , in everyway ..teach me new things

I actually do have a type...a person has to have certain specific qualities to be my "type"...nothing outrageous though..I mean I could care less if the guy or gal is a supermodel BUT they have to be attractive to ME physically...more than that though, what comes out of their mouths and body language is whats extremely important to me..I despise shallow, cruel, rude, self absorbed ppl...Ppl like that are NOT my "type" by any means....

Over the years, I've said I have a type, but it seems to be constantly changing as I meet more people. Originally my "type" was androgynous, in either gender, and of course witty and able to hold a decent conversation, plus living up to my ideas of honor, to some extent. My first love and a lot of my early boyfriends and girlfriends fit this description. However, my most recent two partners were a fairly masculine man (with a beard even!) and a very curvy, feminine women. So neither of these people fit my type, and yet I'm in love with both of them. *shrugs* So I'd have to say that I don't really have a type anymore. Obviously everything depends on the person I'm interested in at the moment, though there is still the witty and honorable requirement.

Nowadays I call "BS" on types due to experience (so no I don't have a "type"). I've had it used on me as a rejection notice, several friends of mine have had the same. And on forums and other places there are people saying some of the same things. In terms of relationship, your list would be it. I too would like a good conversationalist, take decent care of the self, at least have a good heart.

Maybe that is just a way of saying that they are not attracted in a physical way. You could meet the nicest person and have a lot of things in common, enjoy their company, but even if they are beautiful you may not want to have a physical relationship with them. Or you could meet a person who is not good looking, or charming, but you find you are instantly attracted to them. The first person would not be your type, the second one would be.

Well, as far as a relationship goes....I can't just see someone and say "he's not my type". I usually get to know someone better before I say "he's not my type". And by that I mean that he doesn't think in the same way as I do about certain issues that are important to me. I respect the fact that not everyone has the same viewpoint as me...and they are free to have an opinion....and I usually agree to disagree and let it be....but if the differing opinions would affect our life...then we aren't the right type. For example, I have nothing against people who do not want to have kids.....but if I'm in a relationship with someone who I have no problems with otherwise...but he doesn't want to have kids when I do (and both of us feel very strongly about it)...then he's not my type. The same goes for vegetarians and non-vegetarian....because most Indian vegetarians cannot stand being around someone who is a non-vegetarian.

I honestly don't know. I've not dated enough in my life to know what a 'type' is. I know what things annoy me, of which there are a lot, and if I ever date again I'll know those things when I see/hear them. I truly can't say what things I'm even looking for in order to look for those qualities. Which I guess would be 'type' casting if you think about it. I guess that at this point all women are my type till I learn more about them, then thats what will, ultimatly, thin the herd so to speak.

Let's see. In the looks department I have been married to a blue-eyed blonde and a brown-eyed guy with almost black hair. But all of that is just on the surface. Self confidence, intelligence, creativity and some sarcasm does it for me. I'd definitely have to talk to a guy before deciding whether or not he was my type. After 5 years my husband can still give me butterflies, he is definitely my "type".

Nope I really don't have a type..just a regular sweet guy that I adore with all my heart- he's my type. I don't look elsewhere and I have to kind of read a book before I judge it's cover.

I struggle a bit with neanderthals. It's not their fault that their knuckles drag on the ground when they walk and their eyes show instinct and not intelligence. That their personal grooming is a little haphazard is off putting too. Their inability to hold a conversation that is not entirely monosyllabic is not the recipe for a long and warm relationship that I search for. That they eat with no pretense of table manners and spit their food all over you whilst they talk. And drink from the bottle, don't use a glass, except as a fighting tool. That they find violence more acceptable than argument. That their favourite newspapers must carry pictures of naked young ladies and headlines that say immortal phrases that we'll not treasure forever "GOTCHA" for example. These people are not my type. Physical beauty is great, but inner beauty, strength, compassion and understanding; intelligence and a lack of bigotry all do it for me. Do you know anyone like that - I know a few, one of them is most probably you.

sounds like you are talking about me LOL

I love your mind! You come up with some great discussions. I married my type! What a sexy man he is! He has a great personality, a wonderful sense of humor (sick like mine) He loves his family. He works hard. He respects me and supports me. He is GREAT in bed. Intelligence is one of his best qualities. History is his thing, he and my daughter can watch The History Channel for HOURS

Yes, as you already know that most people say this because they just don't like the person and don't want to start a relationship with him/her. Before you really meet someone, you can have a type. Every one in the world dreams, and what they dream most is what kind of lovers they would meet. but if they really meet someone, i think most of them will forget about the "type" thing, What is the most important is that the two one really fit each other, both of them feel happy when they are together. For me, yeah, i once had a type, but it's just a imagination, and it wouldn't affect me too much when i choose a boyfriend.

"Type" literally means someone who possesses certain distinguishing qualities that are like someone else. In terms of relationships someone who is your "type" is someone with whom you have things in common. This can be in either the looks or personality categories. In the personality category, your type would be someone who enjoys the same things you do, who has a similar or complimentary demeanor to your own and who thinks about things on the same level or one complimentary to yours. In the looks category the things you share in common with your type are physical attributes that they possess and which you find attractive. I've been married 15 years but I'm not blind and I can still recognize women who would be my type. They're usually around 5'6", about 130 pounds, curvacious, physically fit but not obsessive about it, minimally vain, well-spoken, intelligent, atristic and philosphical. My ideal type is also relatively submissive but not without her own opinions and ability to tell me to go pound salt if I fail to be reasonable with her. So there you have it: my physical and personality checklist. I married someone who was less a match physically than she was in terms of personality but that's why it's important to look at both. You'll notice someone physically before you get to know them but once you've consulted the mental checklist, then it's time for a little give and take in the looks department. Marry a body without heed to personality and eventually you're going to be miserable because, let's face it: looks are temporary and it's a lot easier to make early concessions on looks than it is to make later ones on personality because that doesn't generally change much over time.

No. I'm equal opportunity all the way. A completely different way of saying this sprang to mind right off the bat, but I don't want to be 'typed'. lol

chinese-look/pan-asia is my type ;)

I do have A Type but not unrealistically so. There are just some men I could not endure in a relationship and no doubt that spells true visa versa. For example: men who ride on the women must submit boat have no lot or part in 'my tpye'. Some times just observing how some men treat their wives make me feel trapped. It is absolutely vital that I be able to express myself and feel free in a relationship. I know men who have many of the qualities I desire in a man but are hell bent on being in control, being the head and having the final say. Uh uh. I couldn't work with that at all. For me my type is he who does not feel threatened by an expressive woman along with the qualities you mentioned. Not to mention chemistry is a most. I have seen couples who have totally lost it after a few years and seem to just tolerate each other. I hope I dont get to that point. Love, affection and respect always.

i think by the term "type" is the sort of person theyd be attracted to. and that you can tell by looking at someone as to whether or not they are someone you could picture yourself romatically involved with. if you dont find a person attractive upon meeting them.. they arent yer "type" its a nicer way of saying meh, no way in hell would i date that person..

probably it is what they are looking for in the other person. Apart from that i am not sure what"my type is either"
