Non-Clicky Poll, Sort of Stolen from TIP
I'm bored at work too, so here is a non-clicky poll. It's sort of stolen from one that was on TIP a couple of days ago, but not exactly:
Do you have a type physically? If so, what is it?
Do you have a type other than physical characteristics? If so, what is that?
If you have an XH (or STBXH) or XSO, did he/she match your type?
Does your current SO match your type?
Re: Non-Clicky Poll, Sort of Stolen from TIP
Do you have a type physically? If so, what is it? I used to like bigger, meathead type dudes. I didn't think I could be attracted to any other type. Now I realize that it's what is inside that counts, as cliche as that sounds.
Do you have a type other than physical characteristics? If so, what is that? I like an outdoorsy guy. Someone who knows their way around nature and is comfortable riding four-wheelers and doing things like chopping firewood. It would be difficult for me to be with someone who wasn't a country boy because I'm a country girl. Someone who listens well and can hold intelligent conversations is a must. Someone who is courteous and respectful and interested in learning more about me. And, of course, someone who loves children and wants children of their own.
If you have an XH (or STBXH) or XSO, did he/she match your type? XH was my type physically. I remember when I met him I was so in lust. I truly thought he was the best looking man I'd ever seen. He's about 6'0" tall, 235 and is a big, muscular guy. I just thought he was the hottest thing EVA. Now he physically repulses me when I see him and I cannot believe I ever found him attractive, let alone slept with him.
Does your current SO match your type? not applicable
Do you have a type physically? If so, what is it? I tend to go for dark hair, blue or green eyes, and guys who have some meat on their bones! I prefer tall guys, too (5' 10"+)
Do you have a type other than physical characteristics? If so, what is that? I like a guy who is assertive, confident, and makes me laugh. Intelligent conversation and that he's someone who I can respect are a must. I'm pretty quiet, and I tend to be drawn to guys who are a little more outgoing.
If you have an XH (or STBXH) or XSO, did he/she match your type? Physically, he has dark hair and was stocky, although he is short! He also has brown eyes. He is really good at making people laugh and is very gregarious. He's not naturally outgoing but has learned to be more outgoing due to his line of work.
Does your current SO match your type? BF is the skinniest guy that I've dated in a long time! He is tall, and his hair is more salt-and-pepper than black these days, but that's ok. He's very outgoing and very funny, and we can talk for hours.
Do you have a type physically? If so, what is it?
Tall (6'+)
Do you have a type other than physical characteristics? If so, what is that?
Smarts
If you have an XH (or STBXH) or XSO, did he/she match your type?
Yes
Does your current SO match your type?
Yes
Do you have a type physically? If so, what is it? Husky, broad shoulders. Taller than 5'7, but shorter than 6 would be nice. I like a guy who can wear a tie and look amazing and wear tims and look just as hot.
Do you have a type other than physical characteristics? If so, what is that? Funny. Family oriented.
If you have an XH (or STBXH) or XSO, did he/she match your type? xH did match my type, yes. He ended up much, much thinner during our relationship than when he started so he lost that thickness that I love, but otherwise he fit.
Does your current SO match your type? I don't currently have a SO. If I were to date the guy on my radar, he would fit my type also.
Do you have a type physically? If so, what is it? Tall, dark hair, pretty eyes, angular features (square jaw, mmm), at least somewhat in shape.
Do you have a type other than physical characteristics? If so, what is that? Smart, witty, confident, capable. And I usually incline toward musical/artsy people, but lately I've been questioning if that's even good for me long-term.
If you have an XH (or STBXH) or XSO, did he/she match your type? Physically: XH did, yes. In the other ways: not exactly. He definitely had an art brain, though, and it drove me nuts. NUTS! I am logical, scientific, calculating.
Does your current SO match your type? Physically: mostly. He's not super tall. In the other ways: definitely. But he also has an art brain, and I am scared that I am going to get fed up with him at some point, just like I did my XH. Time will tell. For now, there are no problems.
Why is it that us logical/calculating types are always drawn to the artsy types. In my professional life the artsy-types drive me nuts, but in my personal life I'm a sucker for them.
Totally! I also want to know why this is! It's like I'm a glutton for punishment, haha.
So, The Artist has gone out of the country for the next few weeks, and I drove him to the airport last weekend. Well, I got to his house 2 HOURS before we had to leave for the airport, and the man hadn't started packing. He didn't even have his suitcase out!! He was playing the piano!! I almost hyperventilated, and I wasn't even the one traveling!
