gopher Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 i understand this may be shallow and physical attraction isn't everything. Up until the last few years, I would have said my "type" is a woman with a few extra pounds, a pretty face and huge ummmmm boobs. LOL...Now though, I find I'm more attracted to women who are in good shape, athletic bodies not stick thin ones. They don't have to be beautiful either, for some reason it's more attactive to me that they take care of themselves. Maybe it's because I work so hard to stay in shape and am very active. Has anyone else found that the "type" of person that they are attracted to has changed?
pandagirl Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Yes, definitely! I used to be really into tall, skinny, lanky boys...sort of indie rocker type. Now I find myself more attracted to guys with a more muscular build, athletic looking, less...sickly looking. haha. Furthermore, the older I get, the more I am open minded about looks and focus more on who that person is, rather than how they look. how's that for maturity? haha
Ruby Slippers Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 I've never had a specific type, but I care even less now about looks than I used to. My experience has shown me that my partner's looks have nothing to do with quality of the relationship or my happiness within it.
Isolde Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 While I'm notorious on LS for having a type, one guy that rejected me, who was actually the polar opposite of my type, stayed in my mind for quite a while. Now I can't remember why I was attracted to him, especially since he wasn't even particularly nice, but the attraction did happen. It was weird.
Shygirl15 Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Has anyone else found that the "type" of person that they are attracted to has changed? Oh, yes mine have changed completely as of recent. Not sure if I'll ever go back to my previous "type".
Midas Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Yes. My 'type' characteristics seem to evolve periodically like my religious beliefs.
xpaperxcutx Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Back then I would say I'd be more attracted to rebels, the guys who dress in black and mostly musicians. But now I'm more into guys who are educated and financially stable. They're a bit more buff as opposed to lanky and thin.

Has anyone else found that the "type" of person that they are attracted to has changed? Yes I've found it changes every 4-5 years or so.
thewingwoman Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 I've always tried not to have a "type" but I found myself having one... Built, bald (usually shaved) guys. LOL. Don't know when it developed or how, but my friends pointed it out one day. That was just a year or so ago. Then I stepped out of the box and dated someone that was different... No six pack abs, no ripped arms, and he had hair. My friends said he'd never last, but he's been one of the best things in my life. Since I first started dating him, I've noticed that the types of guys I notice now are different. Not even falling into the new type, but just outside of what I would notice before.
Trialbyfire Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 It appears that I'm forever trapped in type, of which it's been primarily non-physical traits. Of the physical traits, it's primarily lean, athletic, who live healthy lifestyles. The balance of physical traits, vary.
thegoodlife Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Yes my type has definitely changed! With maturity, and with relationship experience. I've dated all vastly different types (physical and non-physical) and with each relationship I've had it's opened my eyes to other with those same qualities.
GoodOnPaper Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 I don't know if my type has changed, but I think I have discovered a deeper level of the whole "type" thing. On the surface, add fair skin tone and dark hair, and this is totally what catches my attention . . . my "type" is a woman with a few extra pounds, a pretty face and huge ummmmm boobs. Recently, I've realized that I subconsciously looked for a couple other things as well: 1. Someone that didn't attract a lot of attention from guys in general -- I have no interest in competition. 2. Someone that had an "opposites attract" appeal -- for me that would be someone very feminine to prove to myself that my being on the nerdy, geeky side isn't necessarily a bad thing. Not exactly healthy . . . be careful of what you actually wish for -- you will likely get it!
LucreziaBorgia Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 When I was younger, I liked thin emo type boys with delicate features. Now I prefer men - muscles (not bodybuilder types), tall, nice amount of body hair, beard or some facial hair, etc.
