What is your type?

Optimist Prime · #1 06-08-2004, 11:41 AM

I always hear people say "she's not my type" or "he's not my type." What is your type, generally? I tend to date girls who are loud mouthed and bitchy, but that is a whole different thread.

Usually my type is: intelligent, confident, nice, funny, social guys. I avoid arrogant/cocky guys who think the sun rises and sets in their ass; also avoid guys with self-confidence issues (it's a fine balance with me!).

As for physical: I prefer tall, athletic, usually brown hair (not typically into blondes for some reason).

The type I seem to usually end up with are the super rich guys (i.e. their parents are loaded) but they aren't doing anything with their lives.

I don't really have one "type" I go for. I've dated everything from redneck boys to fraternity guys and just about everything in between.

The one thing they all have in common is being taller than 6ft 1. I'm only 5 ft, but I always end up dating the tall guys!

Physically: Taller than me (between 5'9" and 6'4"); relatively in shape but not muscle bound; not terribly picky about hair and eye color, although I'm partial to brown hair and blue eyes (call me Electra all you want); nice smile; meaningful eyes; and good with his hands

Personality: ambitious; outgoing, but a hint of shyness; intellectually curious; appreciative of artistic endeavors; creative; good, if twisted, sense of humor; adventurous

I go for guys who are very laid back and chill. They're usually fun and quirky, always poor, and maybe a little artsy or creative in some way.

Corsulian · #7 06-08-2004, 03:49 PM

Physical (usually): short, petite, brunette, big brown eyes

Otherwise: non-crazy, intelligent, laid-back, non-bitch

Physically, must be shorter than me (I'm 5'7") and not overweight.

Must be able to carry on a conversation.

Must be of comparable intelligence.

ADPiSAI · #9 06-08-2004, 05:23 PM

what I want:
dark haired musician types, usually with some kind of tattoo or piercing, not overweight, but with a little more meat on their bones.

what I always seem to get:
really tall, skinny, clean-cut, light haired guys. And the "I Love Nerds" tshirt that my friend found for me seems to sum it up... Oh well.

My type tends to be intelligent, attractive, witty. I like guys that dream big and have the motivation to go after things. I like them confident, but with a cute sort of shyness once in awhile.

Physically, it's all over the board because I don't base things completely on looks. But typically, darker hair, height (tall!) and a good body don't hurt their chances. Oh, and usually clean cut - whether it be in an All-American golfin' businessman sort of way, a casual Abercrombie flip-flop wearin' (with maybe a little scruffiness) sort of way, or a metrosexual techno-party Armani sort of way.

Every guy that I've ever dated has been in a band, mostly because I tend to pick up guys at concerts. I veer away from huge muscle-y guys and guys who think they're really hot stuff.

Physically, I prefer tall, skinny guys with dark coloring who wear expensive jeans and t-shirts of bands no one has ever heard of.

The Ideal Woman :Smart, Sense of Humor, Open-Minded and enjoys having fun.

This is hilarious hearing y'all talk about musician types... I played in a band for about a year before they broke up and I got tired of the scene -- played fiddle.

I can say that chicks never go after fiddle players -- prefer singers, lead guitarists run a close second. I wasn't even on the radar

That was back in my long-haired days though.

If I looked like my bro Boyd Tinsley (fiddle - DMB), maybe I'd have had a better shot?

I guess when chicks fantasize about dating rock stars, they don't really picture a guy playing the fiddle -- unless they're into country and a country fiddle player I was not.

Physically: tall (5'7-5'9), dark curly hair, dark eyes, thicker build, & a nice butt

Personality: musician-artsy type, a lil bit of cockiness, sarcastic, great w/his family & mine, good w/kiddies, ambitious, sweet & caring

--I finally got this type after a lot of mistakes!

How tall are you? I think 5'7" to 5'9" is on the shorter side for guys... I tend to prefer 6' or taller, but have dated as short as 5'9" - that was a stretch for me, as I was taller than him in some of my heels.
