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?

My type is tallish,long wrapping legs(obvious why),generous solid teottos(thnk u abc for the abc), lips that seem to bend outward(I just imagine them wrapping thangs nicely) and if she is gap toothed or even bare gummed,I think that’s heaven! I can get her some removable dentures(aren’t they All removable).
She would be such an awesome stress reliever!

I’m working from home today
I like what I like. I’m not so much “hung up” on looks. Don’t think I’ve ever really was. Don’t get me wrong, I recognize a good looking man and have dated my fair share, but I can’t say I’ve been “hung up” on that, because I always found those to be the ones that brought drama…lol I can say I didn’t so much do “drama dudes” when I was younger and DEFINITELY ain’t doing dude drama now
What I’ve always liked or deemed “my type”, were crisp, well put together, clean cut, hard working men. Always have. And whether it’s hanging a suit or hawt in jeans, I like what I like
And even though someone clowned me about posting the sweater back during the holidays from Brooks Brothers’ site, for being too squared I guess, it’s what I like!
What I can’t do or is NOT my type? A LAZY DUDE!! I don’t care how fine, well put together, how well you put it down, etc etc etc., I don’t have the time or patience for that.

And while you can’t tell grown folk how to dress or what to wear, I definitely ain’t feeling a dude beyond his prime still hanging on. From the “hip” lingo to “tryna keep up.” Nuh uh, that is soooo not a good look on a 40 or 50 year old cat (or woman for that matter), tryna act like a teeny bopper. And I believe you can look good, keep young (not the same as hanging on), keep fit, but that dang so ain’t the same as you and your kids running in the same circle, hanging out together, so forth and so on. Oh, and the dude with grandkids still tryna get his recording contract or land a gig rapping…lololol I agree with the statement of acting and looking age appropriate.
Again, just my little humble opinion and preference. Not knocking what anyone else likes.

MissMoni, honey it just goes over so much better to move gracefully with time….”gracefully” being key. You ain’t gotta turn into an old fogie and you can still look good, be fit and all that good stuff. But, to be grabbing your crotch and acting like you don’t have one drop of good sense, flexing, still in talk on your rapping career (when everybody else has marched on), etc etc etc is sooooo much of a turn off. Imma run the other way and with the quickness…lololol

What I like is a gentleman who respects the woman standing in front of him. Respect should be front and center and should only be taken AWAY when it’s deemed she’s put herself in a position where she no longer deserves your respect.
You don’t have to be handsome, but you can’t hurt my eyes either. I like a man who is empathetic, sociable, intelligent and wears shoes! You might laugh, but a grown man always wearing sneakers is not cool.

Respect……..should only be taken AWAY when it’s deemed she’s put herself in a position where she no longer deserves your respect.
Hmmmm, I differ on this stance. I don’t think a man that possess this trait in his character can turn it off and on. If he can, IMO he never really had it. Things happen, if there’s bad blood between the two, there’s bad blood, still it’s not a cause to NOT respect. I just don’t think there’s ever a time to give the green light for this sort of behavior. We see it enough when it’s not what we’d call “merited.” Now, I think if the situation calls for moving on and away from one another, then do that but, IMO a man that respect some and some not, don’t really possess that trait.
Every person is responsible for their own actions and no matter what another person does, it’s not a cause or reason enough to lean on them, what they did (or didn’t do) or what’s perceived, as an excuse to be less stellar.

I don’t have a “type” as far as looks are concerned (but I don’t go after Pretty Boy Floyd). I do, however, require a man who is respectful and treats people well. Confidence is nice, but arrogance is a turn off (I know, fine line).
Celisea- I agree with your posts. Please, please, please don’t walk around in your forties with your pants sagging and still “trying” to be a rapper.

And one thing about situationships, let both parties tell their side of the story and you can bet the stories would differ. There are a lot of times and stories we hear about where s/he did this that and the other, and how he or she was wrong for that, but oftentimes we don’t know the story from start to finish. Is that a reason to excuse bad behavior? Of course not, but oftentimes, I believe we hear what we hear and NEVER really are privy to what caused, transpired, created, played into bad situations.
Of course all just my take and opinion.
Alright, I’m getting sleepy, need to work and need to find a good movie :green:

My type obviously hasn’t worked for me, so I’m trying to get away from it. I don’t have a type when it comes to looks. I just seem to be attracted to musicians…unfortunately, I end up with the ones who have talent, but no drive. No more of that for me!!! If I end up with a musician again, he will have a full time job, his own place, his own car, and ambition to do well in life!!!

Well, everyone has their type, and that should be respected. Don’t go getting mad if the object of your affection does not think you are the type for them. Respect a woman’s right to have a “type” just like everyone seems to respect a man’s right to a type!
I’ve always gone for cute nerds. MissMoni, I’m with you, not dumbing down for nobody!! And I like men that truly appreciate women, that actually LIKE women. Not those that seem to only appreciate one thing about women, but otherwise find whatever opportunity to trash them.

hazel – a lot of people subscribe to that “learn to love them” theory. I suppose it’s legit. your neighbor sounds like security is more important to her than love. I, for one, am not judging her for that as I’ve never embraced romantic notions. I’d prefer being with someone I simply liked who could provide than someone I loved who couldn’t.

Y’all remembered my story about one of my dude bffs that told me he married his wife, but the love of his life moved to NY? Yep, when I say we’re cool like that, we’re cooool like that. I can’t lie, I was at a loss for words when he opened up and told me that. We were having lunch. I know he loves his wife, but I think he “came to love her.” He said his true love moved but he couldn’t, wasn’t a good time for him. So, they parted ways. He said he’d started dating his wife and “liked” her but it wasn’t love. He said he was sort of mulling over what to do, what to do when her mom pulled his coat tail. He said she told him, marry her or let her go, but don’t keep her hanging on. Soooo he married her.

I don’t think he’s regretting anything too much. He’s got two sons and she’s a money making, financial guru. She’s been an “executive” for a HUGE company whose headquartered in Atlanta. They’re both money making people, but she’s the brain of that whole operation. He’s self employed and she’s the brain behind his business, all the while managing a slew of folks. I think she made executive before she hit 30.
He’s cheated on her though. I know they separated once for a short period of time. After then, he started straightening up. He’s a work in progess, but younger? He cheated on her.

They play alot of gigs all over town, at nice resteraunts and clubs. His wife works in real estate, but she also sings sometimes with the band and at her church. They have the cutest daughter that is talented as well.

Then one day, he just started talking and broke down and told it all. I was just so blown away at his admission. But yep, it was a situation where I agree, he grew to love her. Not to mention, he realized she was a true gem. Sweet sweet girl, smart as a whip and just so cool to be around.
On the money being gone and whatcha gonna do then, I can’t say I’ve sat and wondered, cause it ain’t deep…lol…but with her being the smart one and having the brains and being business savvy, she’s made some pretty smart decisions that put them ahead.

From what I’ve witnessed during being cool with each other is that he came to accept the marriage…period. They now have two sons and have built a life together. Just from knowing him, I think it got better when he stopped looking back.

We got a keyboard last year and I am getting back into it and when I get my skills back, I am teaching the kids the basics.

I know a guy who’s married to a wealthy woman. He can’t stand her! Didn’t like her too much when he married her and now he’s stuck in hell because he’s a weak arse punk and won’t leave due to the abundance of money. He picked his hell, now he has to sweat it out! Just stupid….

I didn’t hold nothing back and THAT’S why we’re good friends to this day. I didn’t spare my tongue. I think “true” friends can get it said. If y’all part ways over someone telling you about yourself, then you were never friends to start with. He didn’t like it at first and said I was blah blah blah, so I stuck it to him. I didn’t preach at him but I dang shole had the choice to be cool with a brother on the up and up. Seriously, he ALWAYS called with his struggles. What I can apprecaite is that he was honest about them. Or at least felt he could confide enough in me to tell me and trust me enough to provide it straight with no chaser, no motives, nothing. Keeping it real.

To find out he’s pining for another woman would be too much to deal with. I dealt with that to an extent with the Ex. He wouldn’t admit that he was pining after one or two past loves, but I always felt that he was…

If he’s not neglecting home or tipping out to see her or letting it come between us, I would leave it alone. I am confident enough in myself to know I might not be THE love of his life, that I might never be, but as long as I am A love of his life and treated as such, I can deal. I bet a large percentage of people never marry THE love for whatever reason. That’s life. I would drive myself crazy worrying over such.

“it would be interesting to see how the male ego would handle it. would they say “it doesn’t matter, I’ve got her” or would they be all worried about what dude has that he doesn’t. lol.”
There is no way in hell I could stand by and look her in the face everyday after finding out that she believes some other dude is the love of her life….. I would be mad as hell and tempted to cut the fool, but ultimately, I would have to see if she had a “frenemy” that was just blind enough to be the pawn that would help me CRUSH her……..

Disco- I would have to look at the totality of the circumstances. If he merely acknowledged it, but still concentrated on our marriage (and we had a good marriage), then I would just accept it and stay in the marriage. However, if he sat around pining away, neglected the marriage, and acted like he wanted to be with her, then he would have to go, knowing that he could not try to come back if it did not work out. I would not sit around waiting.

I don’t think anyone really has a type. Your friend may have gotten bored in that long-term relationship and went to the extreme opposite looking for more excitement.
We all have an idea of what we will be attracted to but as we get to know people it changes. Once he gets to know this new girl who is “light” on personality, he may begin to appreciate the qualities of his ex more.
Sometimes people break up because the relationship becomes boring, but that is not necessarily their partner’s fault. It is the duty of the couple to keep the relationship fresh and fun.

I think if you’re gonna be there for anything other than love and building a life together, at least have the decency to play nice. At least until you’re settled in. That might be a wrong statement, but it’s better than misusing and mistreating and abusing folks. I see nothing wrong with being sweet to the kids, but she would get a job or get cut off. She would provide to the household. Sometimes you gotta handout lessons and really there’s more than one way to skin a cat.

If they say ‘I did not find u attractive at first,’ that’s actually good!
Because they qualified the statement by saying ‘at first’…
The problem with that statement is two things:
1. It mustn’t be said to somebody with Low self esteem…because they will want to pester the purveyor of the statement ask him/her,’why didn’t u…blah blah blah?’…that will go downhill very quick. If it is said with true intent,it is a pretty harmless and good statement. For a man,I would advise u not to say it to Any woman because most women are so self conscious so they will want explanations anyway.
2 the statement has problems especially if the purveyor has not though the statement thru. U gotta mean exactly that! I guess for most,inside,the current person fell on them as a space filler so they can’t say that. They would rather couch the statement that way to make it palatable to them and not the other person since they are Now with this person here. It makes them kinda feel okay bout it. That they say it repeatedly,if they do means they’re not Happy!

I didn’t find u attractive at first….
Reminds me of way back when..
I get into the club..it was in a basement and one of the hottest joints in town..,and Im looking cool myself,’fishibg’..
So at some point,I get in on the dance floor and 2 lovely birds,friends are dancing there as well in their 2-some. I am eyeing them from a distance.
I quickly hon on one ..she’s tall,a Lil lanky(slim) and she brown and has a face built I like. And her lips are just damn.beautiful mouf..I wasn’t on the oral tip at this point. I was just imagining myself locked in a juicy.smooch.
The other friend is kinda shorter than the friend,a Lil chunky..nice built,not obese but def Not my type!
Anyway,I have conjured up enough courage and stamina and feel I can extricate the one I want if I make a move..
I do and I step literally in their direction and mouth and introductory speech
But the one I want doesn’t bite…she kinda retreats..does not talk and the one Unwanted actually makes the move to come to me….as if I meant to extricate her!
Well ….a hunter will skin that which he got so it went down!
Years go by and we made merry with the one I didn’t want then went our separate ways.
I met the one I wanted earlier..she was now working as a fast food restaurant manager and spotted her behind the counter on another late nite fishing trip!
I just told her the real story of that nite years back and that it was she I wanted then and Not her friend.
By then,she was oldish and gone…her lips not as juicy anymore.

Yes, don’t be crass, especially if you are suppossed to be my man. You can’t just talk to me any kind of way like you would somebody in the street. And miss me with the “straight-shooter” mess too. You can be honest with me without being STANK.

AA women on the blog: How hard/easy is it to go from a “short” cut to an afro-type style? I ask because a woman i work with had short hair on Thursday, and today it’s styled like an afro. Is it just a matter of “lengthening/relaxing” the curl???

Hey Everyone
I’m sure the topic has changed a million times, but anyway…
Physically, my “type” has gone through phases, but two things have always been constant. She has to be smart, and she has to be easy to get along with.
How’s everyone doing?

“I wasn’t on the oral tip…” You still ain’t (cracking up).
“By then,she was oldish and gone…her lips not as juicy anymore.” – And you think you were still in your prime. I’m literally cracking up. The women change, but the men think they still can pull with the same veracity used in yesteryear. Always wanting a dime when they’re a penny!

ITL – that’s funny. I say that because my hair is natural and depending on whether it is stretched or not the appearance of it’s length can vary greatly. one lady in particular always asks me if I got my hair cut when it’s in it’s “shrunken” state. having said that, it could go either way. it’s hard to say not knowing what you mean by “short cut” and afro. (sorry but non-black folks don’t always know how to describe our hair. heck, black folks don’t always know how to describe our hair. lol).

ITL – you know (or can probably detect) that I have a bit of “mean spirited” in me. once this lady was complimenting my hair and how I can wear all these different styles and because I was within earshot of a chick I don’t like I went on and on about how it must be so awful to have to wear your hair the same way each and every day, day in and day out, year after year after year. lol.

ITL – For some folks, if they wash their hair and do not dry it, it could potentially have an ‘afro’ look to it. I for one will look like a chia pet
Even though my mother is bi-racial, I did not get the silky, naturally curly stuff passed down to me.

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.
