Test a theory
Everyone has a "type" of person they generally find attractive. For me its long dark hair, medium to tall, skinny, nice boobs. The hair for me is what I really like.

My partner is generally not this type! But of course I have no problem with this, personality wins the day and if our relationship was based on looks, then she wouldnt have given me a second glance! We are happy. All my previous partners are generally not of my "ideal" type.

I know people who only date/go out with/marry their types - exclusively. They also strike me as the ones who arent really happy - some self confessed.

I know people who date who they want to, regardless of type and they, on the whole, seem happier long term.

So, is this a terrible generalisation or what?

Yes yes, man the cunt up I know.

I don't have a type or ideal
If I like the look of them I pounce. If they don't like me pouncing then so be it.

I too have a type but have found recently that ignoring that has been my blessing.

I'm fairly flexible
But I tend to go for ladies who look in some way unique.

sex with women with good personalities is a nuisance
the ones with good personalities I keep as friends.

Type = elegant, obedient.

I dated my type once.
I was ecstatic.
Everyone hated her.

I'm going to die alone.

I'm not attractive/interesting enough to have a type
it's generally first come first serve.

Its been a while.

I seem to stick around the certain type
Dark hair, big eyes, but other than that, I've been pretty happy with all sorts of shapes and sizes.

I am single now though, so I guess it could be construed as desperate by some who don't know me.

My type?

I don't have a type
just plod along until I see or meet someone I like. Worked fairly well recently.

That works too VC
I'm not looking for anyone, but am not closing myself off from chance encounters.

But seriously, more girls should wear pinstripe.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Wed 29 Apr 2009, 11:43, Reply)

Pinstripe, yes.
Particularly pinstripe corsetry.

My type, sadly, seems to be "issue-riddled". Oh good.

Noted, VC :)
Wookie, pinstripe corsets rock.

Black pinstripe underbust corset over a white blouse, pencil skirt, seamed stockings...

Makes me feel a million dollars.

Don't worry VC
I guarantee you that, should we meet, I shall be a gentleman. As I am with everyone I meet.

For example, I shall look into your eyes while talking to you, not at your chest.

You shall never feel threatened or intimidated by my presence or demeanour.

Unless you are nasty to me or my friends. Which I doubt you will be.

Type = cute little independent brunettes
The reality of the situation? I seem to get involved with blondes.

However the most recent one is blonde, cute, intelligent, sporty, independent and has a great personality. So I can't really complain.

*am not nasty to anyone*
well. Not unless I'm really hurt or upset by something they've done on purpose to me. So fear not Lab!

And my style is very different from my work clothes so it matters not anyway! :)

Less than an hour after mentioning I seem to go for the mentals,
I receive an email from my ex telling me that she's been sectioned and is in need of a shoulder to cry on.

Fucking hurrah.

I'm usually the shoulder/pillar type, so I know what you mean.

I'm fine,
I'm not the one incarcerated for going off the deep end, after all.

I have a type
dark hair, curvy

purely by chance my last two long term relationships have been with girls of this type.

happy coincidence.
