Popsicle Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Do you find yourself attracted to Type A females or Type B females, and why? Now, before lots of you say "I'm neither Type A or Type B, I'm both." This is directed at those who lean towards Type A. And obviously the female either leans towards one or the other.
DKT3 Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Type A..We are both type A and alpha's. It has caused a lot of issues in our 25 year history, we have figured out when and when not to push. I don't find myself attracted to other types of women. I have only seen strong willed highly driven women in my life as attactive beyond physical interest. 1
SammySammy Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Type A. I like a woman with some spunk. I like her to be ambitious, driven and passionate. That excites me. Challenges me. Now, truthfully, I might be better suited to a Type B woman. Someone who compliments me. Would probably make for a more peaceful relationship. But, I get bored easily. 1
BrokenManAgain Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 There is no such thing as Type A Alphas. Put 20 Type A Alphas in a room and I will show you 19 submissive Betas! 2

Now, before lots of you say "I'm neither Type A or Type B, I'm both." This is directed at those who lean towards Type A. And obviously the female either leans towards one or the other. I like both types. There's a significant distinction tho between general behavior and sexual behavior. (An aggressive woman in normal life might be passive sexually and so on.) I don't care for extremely passive women in their general behavior, just bc that usually means you sort of have to prop them up and carry them along with you all the time, but sexually submissive women can be a turnon. Likewise sexually dominant-leaning women are an exciting challenge to me, but they can be difficult to get along with as far as general behavior goes - butting heads all the time. 1
TunaCat Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 I am a woman and am very Type A. I am driven, ambitious, passionate, firey etc. My ex (the only ex I've ever had) was Type B and he was very passive, wasn't very passionate and he didn't challenge me. At all. I think I need a Type A partner.
Got it Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 My husband and I are both Type As. I think we mesh well together, better than with Type Bs, as we get the competitive, driven, stronger personality type. It may annoy each other but it is the same attributes we each share. We do run into the issue in our fighting to prove each person right and we work on focusing on the partnership and not the drive to be right/win.
PrettyEmily77 Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 No idea - I like who I like. Don't know what his type is (or mine for that matter) , but whatever it is, I like it. 1
Frank2thepoint Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Do you find yourself attracted to Type A females or Type B females, and why? Well I'm attracted to a woman that has both personalities. I can't get along long with a full-blown Type A woman, because we'll just argue. I can't get along with a complete Type B woman, because I would find her unattractive eventually because she would too laid back and lacks initiative. A healthy mix of both would be ideal for me. I like an affectionate secure man. My kind of woman. 1
Tayla Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Took some reading and given the choice of temperamental verses amicable and able to work towards goals. Type B it is.

kilgore Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 My opening post and title wasn't really clear but I am asking this question to men who are type A. If you are a type A male please feel free to answer. What defines a type a male?
Author Popsicle Posted October 13, 2015 Author Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) What defines a type a male? What 'Type A' people want you to know - CNN.com I tend to attract this type, even though I am more type B. I always wonder why they are attracted to me. Edited October 13, 2015 by Popsicle
JDLogan Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 As if a type A male would be compelled to answer on the demand to do so. I personally think it's highly ignorant to truly believe personalities are restricted to two very generic and broad types. You have overbearing A-holes and you have casual observers who pick and choose their moments whom both break the molds created by Type A and B spectacularly. If you are looking for an answer on what's attractive to a generally type A man, I'd say you are asking the wrong question. Type A men aren't the best people, what they are attracted to is very simple and easy to guess. Control. Or at least the presentation of it. Status, or at least the presentation of it. Presentation, or at least the presentation of it.
Shepp Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Had to google this, hadn't heard of it before! I was a little unsure because I reckon my less close friends would think i'm pretty laid back, unflappable, and that I don't get massively stressed. But I think that's actually a reflection on how I deal with stress, I don't really show it externally. Actually 11 type A frustrations is pretty on the money. I guess im naturally drawn to what you'd call type A girls - I love that feisty, passionate, competitive, always-up-to-something, energetic personality. I also get along better with people like that, its kinda like the article says folk who look at me like I'm stupid for wanting something perfect, or folk who give up on stuff, people who lack time efficiency.. irritate me - I wouldn't show it, but id find it hard to live with and it certainly wouldn't attract me to a girl! Sentences like "Its just a game! So what if they kick a ball in a net more times" "why rush to get more done, do what you can do" or the worst "If you just say you can't do it, people will come and do it for you!" All real sentences I've heard. All make me die a little inside. The last one make my skin crawl! That all said, I still believe most people have MUCH more to their personality than two types!! My wife is much more of an abstract thinker than me, she loves her literature and poetry... I don't always really get it, but I love that she loves it! If I was really desperate for control id pick a girl who let me do just that not one who calls me on any BS faster than you can snap your fingers! She dwells on stuff much more than me, she's more in her head, I find it much easier to let stuff go! We match up on characteristics were I feel matching up is important like competition and ambition, and I feel the areas where we're different help broaden both of us! 1
Frank2thepoint Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 What 'Type A' people want you to know - CNN.com Actually 11 type A frustrations is pretty on the money. F*CK! I'm Type A? I went through that list and all of it applies to me. I seriously did not think I was part of this crowd. I thought I was a combination of both Type A and B. I really wanted to be on my own program. Concerning your question, I stand by my earlier answer. I need a balanced woman. I could not tolerate a strictly Type A woman for long. I had ex-girlfriends, and women I've dated, that were Type A. Intense arguments and stubbornness, whittled away at my patience. I also had ex-girlfriends, and women I've dated, that were Type B as well. They were non-confrontational and lacked initiative to the point it whittled away at my patience as well. 1
