Dating: What is your type?
When it comes to attraction in dating, is it about “I like what I like” or is there something else involved? I ask because I wonder how we figure out what our type is and how do we know who is not our type? Is it after trial and error, dating different people and trying them on to see how they “fit”?
What is the appeal of those you feel are your type? When you get past looks, how do you decide who is compatible to you and your personality?
When one of my guy friends broke up with his long-term girlfriend, he went through his video vixen phase. Suddenly his type became women who were “light” on personality, but heavy on booty, body, and brass. His ex was nothing like this, so he clearly wanted a change in type to help get over her. I am waiting to see if he returns to what he is most comfortable with or if his future Miss Right will be the vixen type. Not really judging, just wondering, what do guys like about the type of women they pursue?
How do we figure out what our type is and when do we definitely know who is not our type?

ms atl – that’s the catch. without seeing and knowing we can’t be sure. my hair in a wash and go type style might appear to be only about 2 inches or so and the longer I neglect it the “tighter” it gets. lol. my hair stretched in a braid or twist out is face framing, big full and fluffy. my hair hasn’t been straightened by any method in years but would probably hit shoulders if it were.

ITL – Was it wet? Had a chemical smell that could be mistaken for possibly….um….activator?

@Slim: I don’t know. I don’t really like her, so I try not to get too close.
@MsAtl: I didn’t mean anything negative by the versatile comment….

ITL- That wasn’t directed toward you. I didn’t take it as negative. I am saying I love that my hair is versatile and I can do different things with it.
