I think each person probably classifies members of the opposite sex slightly differently, and everyone's probably looking for something different. I think evolutionarily we're probably pretty hardwired to want to reproduce with "hot" men (since, mostly, attraction has evolved out of a preference for strong genetic traits), but to "settle down" with providers. Throw in all sorts of social signals and personal experiences and preferences, and I think it'd be hard to develop a consistent typology of men. Or women, for that matter. I find that I'm highly idiosyncratic in the men and women I'm attracted to - I'd have a hard time finding patterns, aside from the fact that they turn me on and I want to spend time with them. "Why" varies from person to person, really.
