I’ve been thinking (bad move I know) about men I’ve had relationships with and noticed that Asian men and Gingers are most likely to be what I would date

Yet in my head they’re not my type in terms of what I would find visually drawn to if I was swiping on an dating app (when was on them)

Question:

from your last relationships is there a type that you seem to date that on paper (eyes across the bar or details on a dating profile) that would make you want to pas by.

I'm not sure I fully understand your question. But on types.. I've let go of types. I had them in the past yes.. But I've learnt that I can be pleasantly surprised by simple chemistry over 'type'. It's much freer now and open.

My last relationship before Mr KC was over 17yrs ago, when I was not an age I can disclose. I don't think it's relevant anymore, but he was (is) polar opposite to Mr KC in every way.

I meant as in what is your type in terms of what you would look for if you’re out on the pull (for me it’s very tall, shaved head, pale skin, tubby) compared with the men I seem to end up dating

"My last relationship before Mr KC was over 17yrs ago, when I was not an age I can disclose. I don't think it's relevant anymore, but he was (is) polar opposite to Mr KC in every way."

So when you look at profiles on here are you attracted to the KC type or his polar opposite?

I had a thing for gingers (No offense gingers) dated 7 married one divorced him. Perfect life now. Every one I dated was hot headed. Now before I get accused of being a ginger idiot. Personal experience. Kind of like sticking your finger Ina electrical socket. You only do that once. Unfortunately my dumbass did not learn. It took awhile.

Looking back I'm tempted to say the obvious in so far as the biggest thing they shared was being a wanker, but I can't say that they are physical or visual similar really.

About the only physical common factors I can think of between all my ex's is they all had varying shades of brown hair (apart from one who was ginger) and were quite a bit shorter than me.

I do mostly seem to be attracted to non-blondes (there are a very few exceptions).

Generally I have never 'pulled' while out in a pub or club. It's always just happened and I am usually attracted to them once I've seen a bit of their personality. Just about all of my exes have been through work or when at school/college.

On Fab the ones I have 'clicked' with are all quite varied physically (and even variations in personality).

I would say I don't have a physical type I go for but more about style and personality.

Honestly, a mix. I do seem drawn to the taller and slimmer guys but not as a rule and I don't think I'm drawn to certain eye, hair or skin colour - I've found all sorts attractive

Non taken lol, you nailed us in one sentence Im a gemini too so Im like 2 gingers cunts rolled into one...

On the original qyestion for years I obsessed over petite pale akinned blue eyed mousey haired blondes probably because the first ever gf I had serious looked luke that and she finished me so I was always chasing version 2.0 to make myself feel better about that.

Glad my tastes are so much more varied now

Thanks that’s interesting … and good to see a bloke who doesn’t have a default button for blondes

I was referring to physical features, many people don’t go get to know the personality behind the physical shell if they don’t find that attractive

If you’re mostly attracted to blondes but commonly dated brunettes is that because you connected with their personality rather than looks, or were they just and available at the time

I don’t mean that in a derogatory way - just not sure how to phrase it

It's clothes that I notice first - what and how they are being worn - which you could say is an outward manifestation of personality. But having blonde hair would be in the minus column generally.

I put the non-blonde bit down to that I am blonde (grey now).

Ooh I do love a good accent, especially a Scottish one. I get mistaken for being a Scot rather than the Geordie that I am

Most of mine have been long distance which suits me great.

Hopefully my next relationship will be a lovely man I’m messaging, he has just moved to the UK from India, lives 3 hours away which is a good distance for me and one that I’m comfortable with.

Not too close so no stalker like unannounced visits on the doorstep

Strange observation OP and I can concur. I tend to be mentally attracted to dark skinned women, brunettes, shorter women. Yet as things pan out I tend to have sexual relationships with the opposite (with some exceptions).

I think having a “type” in your head doesn’t translate because 90% of people are bloody wonderful, fun, intelligent, mischievous, exciting, amazing and unique. And it is that last point alone I find so alluring. Finding someone’s uniqueness and basking in that.

Undeniable chemistry is something you feel.

It's not a type.

However I know I won't be happy without it so it's essential.

I had to do a ti_eline exercise when I first started counselling. For that I had to gather photographs of me as a child to present day. I found loads of photos of my father when he was aged around 26 to 35 and my god does he look like the blueprint to every guy I’ve ever been with. He’s Italian, tall, dark hair, big eyebrows, very handsome, strong jawline.

He never bothered with me all my life so there’s gotta be something in that, as I seek out men with this look.

Her ladyship is very nearly a foot taller than my ex wife. My ex (who was very petite) always believed that I preferred taller more busty ladies, her ladyship is convinced she's not my ideal type as she's not petite

In reality, my type is kind and caring and I'm not too fussed what packaging that comes in, I'm far more likely to fancy someone who I actually like.

I agree.

I wonder where we get the ‘type in our heads’ from?

Maybe I read too many Mills and Boon books as a teen!

Thanks, that’s really interesting. You have a type and that’s what you date. Your dad must have been a nice man if that’s what you have gone for.

In my case there’s a big mismatch between the ‘type I look for and the type I date.

I’m not doing this for counselling reasons, but for similar reasons. Looking at a ti_eline of men I’ve dated and why things did not work out. Unfortunately I’m at an age where I have to think back over 40 years, that’s not easy!

I hope you do.

In this modern way of meeting people online it’s the chemistry that is definitely something that you can’t get via text or phone calls.

There may be a strong connection and good rapport but the chemistry only shows when we meet someone in person.

That is the advantage of meeting someone in person, in a bar or at work.

Not so easy now when communicating tends to be done online and the opportunity to meet people in person is difficult given social distancing restrictions and lockdowns

Good luck in finding what you’re looking for

Warm eyes, a killer smile and a unique look/dress sense will always grab my attention, I tend to date older men for some reason but ultimately it be down to that undeniable chemistry and the feeling I get when around that person. Someone who is like a best mate but you want to jump there bones

My long term ex partners have been the polar opposites of each other but they all had qualities and physical attributes I’m attracted too - I like a gent with a cheeky side, someone you can be the best version of yourself with whether that’s being silly together or filthy or whatever it may be, someone who never tries to change you and who you accept equally just as they are xx

I agree it’s the unseen characteristics, values etc of a person rather than the packaging that is important, and that is what really matters.

Otherwise ugly (on the outside) people would always be single

I reality very few people would swipe yes for every person on a dating app irrespective of their looks and get to know the people they match with to see if they are a kind and caring person, and a good dating match

Fem 5ft8, larger build, long blond hair, green eyes, 10 years older

Male 5ft8, stocky, mousey hair, beard, 10 years younger

Male 5ft10, slim, muscle fit, brown hair, brown eyes, Portuguese, my age

There needs to be attraction and a good flow of conversation for me too

When I was younger I would date men I was not attracted to because I didn’t want to reject them by saying no when I was asked out … that always let to disaster as I ended up hurting them more when I did end things.

Now I’m older and slightly wiser I wouldn’t do that.

If we're talking swipe right/left then I am more attracted to boyish looking women. All my exes, apart from one, have all been a bit tomboyish and not 'girly'.

Winona Ryder and Helena Bonham-Carter are my 'type'. But so is Emily Watson.

When I met him I was in a club and wearing fuck me til I’m screaming heels, so I was taller than lots of guys.

He was good looking, the spitting image of Steve McQueen, funny, very strong. I didn’t realise he was an inch shorter than me at first.

We hit it off really well and he asked to date me. I rarely noticed the height difference while we were together. He was larger than life and his physical presence more than compensated.

I have no type. I’ve dated fat, slim, tall, short.

The only think they had in common is that they were quite quirky in their personality and were (to me) funny (ha ha - not weirdo). Also darker haired, I’ve never dated a blonde.

In terms of women, I've never had an aesthetic type. A bit quirky maybe but that's as far as it goes.

In terms of men I've dated? Again, no aesthetic. Maybe greying hair? I've dated a few years older always bar one exception who was only about a year or so older. I don't think I could date a man so close to my age again so I wouldn't swipe (whatever way you do, can't remember) for someone unless they were a few years older.

So … if you were single and swiping left (no) or right (yes) on a dating app - based on your ‘type’ as in the type of person you are visually attracted/drawn to… how many of those would you have swiped right/yes for?

If we're talking swipe right/left then I am more attracted to boyish looking women. All my exes, apart from one, have all been a bit tomboyish and not 'girly'.

Winona Ryder and Helena Bonham-Carter are my 'type'. But so is Emily Watson."

At the moment I find Elizabeth Debicki very captivating.

All of my past long term relationships have been with redheads.

I guess I’m a glutton for punishment!

In terms of my taste or type, I don’t have one, there’s no unifying factor in who I’m attracted to, it’s just a quirk of fate that they were all redheads

We make so many decisions based on a single 2D pic these days

Very true, I think many people miss out on meeting ‘The One’ based on swiping left on a 2D pic

… that said so many people put up shit pics so miss out on meeting someone

I work on the basis that if I’m on a dating site I use photos showing what I look like when out in public, the way I would meet someone in days gone by.

Not spread eagled on my bed, or looking like shit on the sofa watching tv

Álvaro Morte (Money Heist) does it for me

There's a danger that one would be accused of catfishing if they were to put up their best pic or one that makes them look great from a certain angle.
