Do you really have a type??

If you lined up your ex’s (shags or relationships) would there be more similarities or differences?

Mine couldn’t be more different.. there’s literally nothing physically that links the guys I have been attracted to.

So how do you decide what your preferences are?

I think I skew towards being attracted to certain women but I can potentially find women of any 'type' attractive.

I have things that get me going. They've changed over time and I've made bad choices.

I think among the good choices there's some commonality, but most of it boils down to "I know it when I see it".

There's nothing physically that links all the women i've dated either so i'll have to say no. Personalitywise though there are some similarities.

I have always assumed women aren't as turned on by a man's physical appearance as much as by their demeanour.

Would I largely correct in assuming so?

Women who are: petite (or at least shorter than me), slim to curvy with long hair.

I also have this thing about women who smell nice and have soft skin.

I suppose it's their femininity that draws me in.

A lot of differences physically. In terms of men they've all been a few years (and the rest) older than me. In terms of women, it's a proper mix. They do have a few personality traits in common - they tend to be more type B sorts. Nerdy.

Reading how they post, how they interact, what they post about and the variety of their posting. It’s a veritable hunting ground.

Then I publicly proclaim some interest and see if they’re willing to take a chance.

I’ll be more serious now. I don’t have a type as such but I’m attracted by a feisty, humorous, caring personality with intelligence. As for looks and shape they are much more variable but when ai look at them and talk to them I know I fancy the pants off them. So it’s a combination of lots of factors.

I just know

The only common denominator seems to be that I prefer women within a few years either side of my age, with guys, I prefer early 20's to early 30's (but there have been exceptions to that too)

Preferences change over time, experience and learning more about myself - this all defines what I look for in a potential relationship or anything else. I’ve had a few relationships (short/long term) with one preference in common. It always starts with physical attraction. Specific type of women tend to grab my attention - knows how to dress (sexy), confident, and independent - she would be the type that’s not afraid to say what she wants (on her mind) and wouldn’t shy away from getting it.

Does the message meet my base requirements? Is the person within the bounds of what I might consider physically attractive, to the extent that I can tell? Absence of anything major to rule them out. Is the profile OK? Does the message interest me?

If all this is satisfied, I weigh up if the value of it is enough to proceed.

I like people who make the best of themselves. They don't have to be super slim or models ish, just have a vivacious attitude and natural sexiness. Very light, bright eyes with dark hair and redheads will draw my eye quicker than anything (and beautiful eyes in general make me melt). I find the overly glammed up expensive labels and patent leather handbags, high maintenance vibe is less to my taste but by the same token that's because I assume that as a more casually dressed laid back type guy I probably will not be appealing to them anyway.

If we get to in person, the smile is important. Doesn't have to be conventionally attractive, but conveying warmth when they look at me. Not just, you'll do.

"I like people who make the best of themselves. They don't have to be super slim or models ish, just have a vivacious attitude and natural sexiness. Very light, bright eyes with dark hair and redheads will draw my eye quicker than anything (and beautiful eyes in general make me melt). I find the overly glammed up expensive labels and patent leather handbags, high maintenance vibe is less to my taste but by the same token that's because I assume that as a more casually dressed laid back type guy I probably will not be appealing to them anyway. "

I get that.. I’ve always avoided people who appear to be designer label and posh hotel types..

"Preferences change over time, experience and learning more about myself - this all defines what I look for in a potential relationship or anything else. I’ve had a few relationships (short/long term) with one preference in common. It always starts with physical attraction. Specific type of women tend to grab my attention - knows how to dress (sexy), confident, and independent - she would be the type that’s not afraid to say what she wants (on her mind) and wouldn’t shy away from getting it.

How does that work searching online? Do you find it easy to get a feel for those characteristics?"

Great follow-up question Searching online alone is not the best of indicators. A starting point at best. This, coupled with a meet and actual interaction, yes - it would be. Although it’s not all just online, I enjoy meeting people socially (which is a great way of finding what I’m looking for) through friends, work or travel.

"Do you really have a type??

If you lined up your ex’s (shags or relationships) would there be more similarities or differences?

Mine couldn’t be more different.. there’s literally nothing physically that links the guys I have been attracted to.

I find that types change dramatically

Years ago if asked who I fancied I would have said tallish blonde, blue eyes guys - almost a tad feminine and no facial hair.

But hubby is 5ft 4 (he's shorter than me) has dark hair, green eyes and a big beard and neither of us are remotely close to being slim in any way... And I fucking love it

Like honestly, I see a chubby guy with a cheeky face, good beard and a nice hair cut and that's me sorted

I do like a guy with nice hair though... Balding is really not my cup of tea

You probably wouldn't tell most of them, if they were mixed with randoms, as they vary and personality comes into it too. Varied but good looking to me and many others. There are some types I'll always go for but they can change over time.

My type - I usually go for ppl who have at some point been a little broken and have touched the edge of insanity but managed to cling on to life and survive. It's also probably just as much about how the person see's me too, whether they see the surface or whether they see into me and then that tends to be reciprocated..... .....humour and a sense of childishness and knowing innocence are essential also!

Oh hell, physically mine couldn't be more worlds apart.

B is the only one that I've looked at (and still do) and think "fucking hell my man is FIT AS FUCK"

I don't know if it's coz my ex was a scrawny runt who thought he was hard as nails but nothing more than a damp poontang, that since him I've found myself attracted to guys that are obviously physically strong (which you'd think I'd be afraid of considering what happened) or whether it's simply that's the physique that gets my quim shivering these days just because.

Mentally I need someone to challenge me, but not too much. Too much and I'll shut down.

Maybe I've merely realised my worth, and have discovered someone that matches physically and mentally my "perfect man"

I prefer tall, muscular men and the three men I've loved have been 6ft and over. However my husband was black, the other two white. Very different personalities.

Men I've had casual encounters with vary vastly too.

Hard to define what attracts. I'd have Denzel's babies yet drop kick Jamie Foxx to the kerb. I'd fuck Lawrence Fishburn but Samuel L Jackson couldn't pay me enough. I sooo would do Robert Di Niro but not Al Pacino...it's all good!

I used to say I went for intelligence, but I think it's more curiosity about the world. A good geeky/ serious brain powered conversation can get my motor running, no lies, but it's more an attitude generally. I've met some people who I wouldn't describe as intelligent for whatever reason. But they want to find out, they wonder, they're willing to explore.

If I had to pick something that helps me connect with someone, and even for most casual encounters it matters, that'd be my number one thing.

I think when you click with someone you just click. Quite often on here I'll find someone's pics attractive but then we talk and there's no spark.

On the other hand I've got chatting to people either in the chat rooms or forum and their personality has attracted me so much that the physical thing isn't as important. "

Do you also use filters and preferences to whittle it down or just go with the flow?

My filters are set to "the messages below and above this age were disproportionately annoying". After that I have a system and I'm brutal.

"Nope and never have ... well not physically

Much more have a mental type, think growing up with super intelligent parents might have coloured this a little (even though we all thought they were thick as sh***)

If I'm not permanently mentally stimulated I'm fairly lethal but likewise any partner needs to be on the fit side (meaning actually fit as opposed to fit looking) because I'm very active.

Ha ha do you find it hard work on here going through lots of messages to work out who you may be attracted to mentally?How many people actually read the contract before they sign it, it's all reading here, get out and meet

Women get literally hundreds of messages a day without filters.. hence the OP.. how do people filter and decide who to meet..."

exactly my point you can't tell from words on a page, meet best way, only Way to tell really, you read a veri from a person you've never met what does it mean? Do you have the same taste as all your friends no, you can only tell in person yet here you discount people on the written word..... Amazing

The thing is we do ... but why waste precious time on those that you're not interested in? If someone actually piques my interest I'll always meet for a coffee but with absolutely no expectations! Luckily a lot of (most) men or those with very different wants/expectations to me invariably don't meet for a coffee!

Most of my exes have had long blonde hair and been very pretty, I've definitely got a type but do stray from the path on occasion

It’s a site that allows introductions via the written word... I’m not sure what your point is.

No I'm not disagreeing with discounting people for the obvious reasons, looks via pics and really outrageous comments or disgusting innuendo but to enjoy a person's pics and discount them on their words or veris doesn't make sense for the reasons I've said

I can tell a fair amount from the written word, and I'm completely prepared to be too brutal and get it wrong that way.

This sort of medium protects my safety. If I had to be vulnerable with strangers without vetting first, I'd hang up my thong and go home.

I was thinking about this the other day after being asked about my type. Looking back my partners have been varied and really quite different to each other.

but you discount on words or lack of words as the case may be, everyone is going to be different but based on forum themes most are discounted on terribly written profiles, I appreciate the numbers thing more men than women and the message numbers and I appreciate you have to discount somehow but how many great guys have been discounted that in reality if you had met them you would have liked and I also know none of this matters because you have a never ending supply lol

Think you might have me muddled up with another poster! If you reread my posts you'll see! I have absolutely no problems with fab at all ... actually am rather well catered for and happily meet those that have piqued my interest for coffee! And obviously, if you reread, yes I do judge a person on their messages ... especially after they have read my very clear profile!!!

So everyone should meet you for a coffee, just in case they might like you contrary to first impressions in text? Doesn't matter if they have better options elsewhere or if fab isn't a priority for them in life?

I've been on your side too buddy but I could always still recognise personal preference (the original point of Saff's post). Preference and qualification are gonna be different for everyone here (why she asked) and as Saff said (thankfully for me, being a manmunter) looks aren't at all important for some.... Other qualities (which can be conveyed in text) such as kindness, intelligence, open mindedness, humility, playfulness can used as a metric to assess where a girl or guy should focus there time. Can't meet everyone here or keep everyone happy either.....

Peace

I came to the realisation that I do have a type but it has more to do than faces than body type.

I absolute adore female faces that look like the one Sophie Cookson or Virginie Efira have.

A female like that could definitely be my Ginger and could be her Sam like in Casino .
