i'm watching this show and this woman is like "you're not my type" and explains what her type is blahblah, i really don't understand though the whole 'type' thing. is it just something people say? i mean can that even be real that you have a 'type'? i'm pretty sure i don't, and i've never really talked to people who talk about their 'types'
Dear raz, sometimes you have the feeling to like or to dislike a person at a first glance, but you can't describe the reasons for your antipathy. Maybe the type construct is often used to navigate around this incapability and still be polite? My type has black hair . But when it becomes serious it is the gesamtkunstwerk that counts. Looks, how she walks, smells, thinks etc. Regards Gyro
what i consider to be my type is very broad, and i usually don't listen to myself and it takes a turn for the worst...most of my "type" is probably in the mental aspect of a person rather than their phsyical being. i do have some preferences, for example long hair, but it's not a requirement. different things work for different people.
i'm with you raz.. i never hear people i know talk about it either and i don't even know what that means for sure. i guess some people could mean it in a physical sense or something but overall it seems like a narrow-minded way to sum up a whole person and spirit into a couple words..
i have preferences but i am attracted to people outside of them. are preferences the same thing as types? that's what i'm trying to figure out
well whenever i heard "types" on tv or movies i guess it was always kind of like a filter.. maybe they would consider someone outside their "type" but they were not really looking for it.. i don't know it confuses me
Hi, does your preferences corresponds mainly with looks? Then it might be the same thing. The type argumentation seems to be often used in an early stage of the get-to-know-process, so it can only be based on looks. No problem with that. If others narrow their search then the pool for me becomes bigger . Regards Gyro
I don't really have a type. I think i have preferences also cause there are certain things i do like with like certain physical things and also certain personality things... But i'll still date or sex a guy that sometimes doesnt exactly meet those preferences.... I think they are different cause when people have "types" isnn't that type just what they like and only what they look for in a person?
i think types and preference could potentially be synonamous. that being said it will depend on the person in question as to whether they only would go for someone in their "type" or "preference" categories. some people are close minded some are open minded, people can bend the rules ya know....
I don't have a type, but I have certain traits I find more appealing than others. I have also had people ask me out who were totally terrific, but for one reason or another just didn't do it for me. I can't even always say it's because of one thing or another, either. Attraction is totally subjective.
Id like to think "type" as what your eyes find attractive. I took a look back on my boyfriends and crushes I had. They all or most of them had dark hair. and brown/hazel/green eyes. So im attracted to dark hair and dark eyes mainly. A good body shape, not too fat, not too skinny. I would say that as my "type" of man. for preferences is IMO what you prefer IN a person. Down to earth, open minded, simple, partyer, yada yada. If you find that in a person but isnt your "type" then i think preferences goes over type, cause a good personality can totally beat looks, unless you're a shallow person
Having a "type" means that there are certain things in the opposite sex that you find sexy or appealing. For example. Long dark hair and tanned or olive toned skin is sexy to me. It can also be something about a person's appearance. Girls who dress very hippie, have dreads, or go around barefoot would score bonus points with me. Just because you have "types" doesn't necessarily mean you wouldn't date someone outside of those things you find appealing. It just means the more catagories the other person fits into, the more you will likely find them attractive. For example, my ex-gf was a blonde non-hippie type.
i dont have a type at all... i really wouldnt be able to describe what type of person i always go for, because they are always completely different!!! i like havin the variety to perv at
I don't really have a type... but at the same time I do, if that makes any sense. Because in reality, everyone has "types" that they're attracted to.
I agree everyone has preferences. It's probably a matter of how open or closed minded you are about if you'd go with someone who does not match. Some are pretty tight about it and probably deny themselves some hot dates just because the candidate lacks some imagined "indispensable trait". Sad. I happen to like open minded people I also think "you're not my type" is used by some people to indicate they just don't find you in particular to be appealing, possibly without even knowing why.
