Following from another thread...who is your type of person?

If you're in a relationship with someone are they what you'd consider your type in looks and personality or did you land someone completely different?(yet obviously still what you want or lets face it you wouldn't be there )

If you're single do you always go for the same type of person?

Hee! Love this thread!

Type... It's a bit like food.

The thing is, I was talking to someone about this and it turned out that we both had a definite type in mind. Neither one of us was with that type of person though. So I asked a few others and it seems that no-one I asked were with their idealised type either...

...so it begged the question if 'type' is just a construct, something we will take if offered, or is there a whole lot more to choosing someone?

Exactly, like food.

I think if you start talking about 'types' of people, it is like you automatically think this is what appeals to you. Very often, you end up surprised being with someone who doesn't fit into that type.

Exactly, 'types' are just constructs, that's all. there is a lot more in choosing someone. Sometimes the choosing is unconscious.

Apparently I go for over-emotional, curvy, blondes.

I honestly don't have a type when it comes to guys...

and what type of women do you go for ?

The ones that'll have me

I think type is what you'd like to shag. But, in reality wouldn't be the one you'd have a realationship with? Is it in this context?

My type would be baldish, firm abs, but nothing you'd light a match on. Maybe a little hairy, but not a gorrila if you know what I mean. Teeth must be even.

I’m reliably informed (by my own mother) that I like “anything male” and under 30 that comes through my front door – electricians, plumbers etc. I’m also “distracted” by chav and army types.

God she makes me sound like a right slut.

Whats my type it use to be a 4 to an 8 then anyone who looks at me crooked to now a sheep So I went to Kildare only to find all the good looking sheep were taken.

Each to their own, I suppose.

My type is someone who gets me, and accepts me for what I am.

I'm single at the mo but I do have a definite type in my mind... think Edward Cullen in Twilight ( but a non vampire version!!)

Robert Pattinson, then?

yeah, all the sheep on the curragh are so butch. Yummy!
