Your "type"

    My type is light brown or blonde hair, 6' tall or taller, and physically fit. I have fallen for guys who don't match that description, but not often and they had to have a charismatic air about them.

    They have to be sci fi fans as well. If they can't geek out with me, they have no place in my life.

    He has to be musical. So playing at least one instrument. And carry a tune. No bigger turn-off for me than a guy who can't carry a tune as he sings along with the radio.

    You'd be shocked how few men meet this description. Luckily when it came time to find a spouse, he was there beside me, a friend all along.

    Well hello there....

    I can rock your world in less than 12 parsecs and I know why that was the most stupid thing said in Star Wars and the fan excuses later used to cover it.

    Not that I'm interested in you, but I just have to point out it's not that hard to learn an instrument.

    Everyone can play a recorder. Most people can learn the bagpipes. And I must point out that bells and kazoos are also instruments.

    ooo...I can play the drums, even learned one armed, like Rick Allen from Def Leppard. (long fall into an empty pool...yes, I knew it was empty)
    But *sigh* GM is taken...my loss.
    All the good women are gone...

    Not all the good women!
    My lab mate is awesome and unattached. You just need to keep looking.

    Oh man, I don't know what I'd do if my husband didn't get all of my references, and vice-versa. It's especially great now that he's marathoned all of ST:TNG.

    Yep, same here...that's why I tried out Geek2Geek...unfortunately, nothing panned out. (plus it's damned expensive for such a slow site)
    Frankly, I've got my "types" passing me by all the time, visually. (ooo...the instant "love" I feel. ;))
    It's just that they often aren't my "type" after talking with them
    ...or I'm not their "type" initially or after talking to me. (baww...I'm not loved & admired by every woman)

    Life was easier when I was a young horn-dog with a clean slate and no particularities.
    But I guess, then it would have ended anyway, since they didn't suit my "type" in the long-run, whether I was aware of it or not.
    So, I have to assume, knowing ahead of time is better.
    But I don't want to presume ahead either...they might turn into that clicks...or incorporate into my desires.

    So, if women have to kiss a lot of frogs, before they get their prince. (your "type" being what kind of frog you end up with most, bullfrog, green frog, toads, etc...)
    What do men have to kiss a lot of???

    I'm trying to think of something to add to my original post, but I couldn't come up with another physical trait.

    Eyes. They all had striking, beautiful eyes. Mostly green or blue, now that I think about it.

    I've been married now 17+ years to the same woman, all pretty damn good.

    I'm a Geek, shes a Nerd and a very narrow field of nerdom that does not over lap with my Geekiness. In other words she doesn't get most of my Geekisms.
    Shes a picky eater, and I eat almost everything.
    She hates my taste in music, I hate her taste in music.

    but...

    We share the same social values.
    We are relatively freaky sexually.

    She complements me in some areas I lack, and I complement her in areas she lacks.

    For me, the values and sex are far more important than an encyclopedic knowledge of Blade Runner. Sure it would be nice to play "guess the replicant" but not required.

    Hahaha! The other day, I asked my husband if I looked cute.

    "Of course you look cute. Don't Admiral Ackbar me."

    If, my type is as described above...then Katy Perry would fit the bill...but she doesn't do anything for me at all.
    And doing my "anti-type", ones I "claim" don't do it for me...Charlize Theron would not be on my list...but she is DAMN fine for me and a bag a chips.

    Basically, the most consistent thing about me is my inconsistency.

    So, is there an "Anti-Type" for you??
    And please don't list out "unfit" and such...there's no need.

    Yes. If you look like a stereotypical Abercrombie model, I am not interested at all.


    Edit: Although, to be fair, I suppose it's the gallons of cologne that turn me off more than the looks. But yeah, not really into the "bro" look at all.

  17. I was just talking via GoogleChat with someone who I suppose I would say is my type. Very muscular, beautiful rugby player. He’s also hilarious and smart. He’s like a freaking unicorn. Unreal!

    Until I met DaddySquirrel he was the best sex partner I had ever had. If he would have asked me to stay in Ohio, I probably would have. The fact that he was the first person to tell me to go means something.
    G was my standard. He was what I was looking for in a sexual partner AND a romantic partner. We have a lot in common. We’re still amazing friends.

    I kept trying to find another G. I wanted the brawn and the brains. I went through a lot of brawn, but couldn’t find the accompanying brains. Then DaddySquirrel came along. He didn’t have the brawn, but the brain. He also made me laugh even though he’s a bit odd. I was amazed about the sex. I wasn’t expecting it to be any good for a number of reasons.


    I’m glad I stopped looking for a certain type.

    What struck me last week, and it was exactly a week ago, is that I didn't "look" for my type, they just happened to BE my type. I never said to myself, "well shes nice and all but 5'9" is too tall". A couple of days later I was with another woman of "my type" again, without conscious thought. Its really the unconscious nature of it and only a unique situation where 5 former partners are all sitting next to each other did I realize it. If you would have asked me before I might have said "red heads and blondes" which I do like, but really didn't define what my "real" type was at all.
