I had an discussion with a co-worker who only had one type of guy she found attractive. I found it very short sighted to only focus on one type, and don't put any interest in someone who does not fit that list. I've dated woman from different cultures and found it for one to be a big learning experience.

It also made me wonder...do you people here have a specific type you look for in a partner, be it race, faith, body type or personality or do you have a broad look on things?

I'm interested in your answer!

I've had friends like that. I don't get it. I have no "type". However, there are some things that are off-putting to me and I would not be likely to date someone that has those traits.

I'm an equal opportunity adventurer. Getting to know someone new is exciting no matter the race, religion or culture. It's an opportunity to learn about someone or somethings different from what you're used to. If anything, a good friend could be made. That's just my take on it. Not everyone may feel the same as I'm not everyone's cup of caramel.

True, but then you are talking about character traits, I have that too. Hygiene, arrogance..stuff like that.

Exactly this! Never had caramel before by the way..

Yes. That kind of stuff.

Many years ago a male friend told me that I had started a "Men Of The World" club because I had dated so many men from other cultures. As it turned out, none of those guys worked out at all. Main reasons being, they thought because they were men, I had to be subservient to them. Nope. Also some thought that one date meant they would marry me and probably become a citizen. Ah but I was young and naive in those days. I thought I might learn some things about other cultures. Nope. Not really. Maybe it was just the particular men that I went out with. And in most cases, I made the first move. Not them.

Ah..that's rough to have that kind of experiences. I only have very good experiences with other cultures, I do tend not to fit in with the upper-upper class of the society, dating girls from that layer proof troublesome in later stages.

tall smart good lookin funny douchebags... i gravitate to that. every time.. you hit like 3 of those im in

I think everyone has a type and if you think you don't you do, if you really think about it.
It all depends on what your definition of type is.......

My type is finding the woman attractive of course, and if she has a good sense of humor,
and a good attitude. I have talked to people who would only date blondes, or brunettes
or black or just white, or thin or more on the heavy side.
But is this wrong, isn't this just what they find attractive? I have found attractive woman
in all culture, and would date any woman of any culture if I and her get along.
The thing now thou is I am married, but I do still find attractive woman and I am not shy
to point them out to my wife. She does the same with woman and men to me.

You are absolutely right, everyone finds different things attractive. But then we are talking more about character traits, not skin colour, culture, religion, body type (except when you are talking aboit extremes) or hair colour, at least..that's how it is for me.

The common denominator of men I've been attracted to has been intelligence. However, I've also found that when I'm attracted to someone, I may develop an attraction for some of his traits (in other men) which previously I didn't really think too much about. For example: a particular accent, a certain ethnicity, even a vocation have all at times been attractive to me based on a previous relationship with someone who had that trait.

everybody gets a chance. what they do with it is up to them.

Interesting, it doesn't have to do with certain positive traits, but neutral things like accent. Never heard that before.

Haha. You've got a lot of love to give then!

Yeah i get it, i have a friend that only dated brunettes, I laugh and tell him that
there are quit a few blondes that are hot and funny with and intelligent and
why not give them a chance, and he just never did.
He was always with a brunette and is married to one. I always told him he limited
himself. I never was that way. But there are people who are.....

I think I know what you mean. Adjusting to a particular role to get the best out of a situation right?
