When looking for a mate (not a random hook up), people say they know what their type is, but my experience has shown that to be false. I mean, we all think we know who he or she is (in my case: big, offensive lineman type guy who dresses well and gives great hugs), but when it comes down to it, I have yet to meet a guy that fits that description who I have been attracted to. Instead I'm attracted to shorter guys, taller guys, red heads, bald guys, guys with goatees, those without facial hair, big strong men, never skinny guys, etc. Now, that's all over the map, I know, and I've seen the same proven true with some of my friends.
One of them says he loves blondes, but he is attracted to all sorts of different women, from brunettes to skinny girls to athletic types to Asian women...And another friend of mine says she wants to marry a guy with blonde hair and blue eyes, but her last long-term boyfriend has brown hair and brown eyes. And yet another friend wants to date a black guy with locks, but she is attracted to all different ethnicities of men.
As for me, I really try not to make a claim (well with the exception of the aforementioned offensive lineman)...I like to think of myself as an equal opportunity sister. Although, if prodded, I could likely tell you exactly the type of guy that I do NOT want.
What does it all mean, though?? We have these preconceived notions about what we think we like, but our emotions (maybe hormones at times) tell us differently. So should we believe our minds or our hearts? I think you know what my answer would be, but what do you say?
