Type-casting
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Yesterday, I was settling in for a little girl talk with my friend Bryant about the latest interesting gentleman I had met. She doesn’t know the guy in question, so I had to provide her with a photo visual aid so she could agree about his cuteness. But she was initially confused - because, lo and behold, in the pictures I sent her, there was a guy who she thought totally fit “my type” — and he WASN’T the one I had ended up flirting my butt off with! But, of course, she’d assumed it was.
Nope. I ended up with my interest piqued by the preppy guy. Not an artsy guy, which is the type I always say I think is so hot. Not a hipster. The…gasp…businessman.
But then Bryant and I had a revelation. Wait a minute, Laney. You ALWAYS end up with the preppy guy. You love the artsy guys, but it never goes anywhere. You date the preppy ones. Mr. Big, the investment banker, being the major case in point.
So what’s the deal, folks? Psychoanalyze me. Why am I attracted to one type of guy so overwhelmingly, yet never seem to end up following through on it beyond a crush? Does this happen to you? Is there one type of guy or girl you crush on, and a whole different one that you actually date?
Do you think you have a “type”? If so, what does that mean to you?
Did you end up dating or marrying someone totally different — even opposite — from your normal “type”?

Happy Friday This is a real friday topic, and yes i can truly say i do have a type and my type is a BMW - BLACK MAN WORKING I refuse to deal with someone who’s unemployed there are too many jobs out here for people not to have one that actually “want one” BK let me explain what i said to LahLah about her ticket, yes the officer could have easily just asked her to move and given her a “warning” instead of a ticket but y’all know how some of these officers can be. I’ll be in lurkesville today i.e. court half of the day you all have a great friday and i’ll try to pop in before i leave. Aight - PEACE! Hey Musing

Laney, you have what I call “classic female drama”. The fantasy guy that you think is perfect for you is the wrong guy for you. Not sure how long you have been single, etc. but I always urge my female friends and relatives that it can’t be every guy you go out with, the only thing they have in common is you. Not to put the blame on anyone, but you need to examine why you make the choices you do. There is an old saying that goes something like “if you always do what you’ve always done you’ll always be where you’ve already been”
This used to happen to me but I realized who I was choosing early on and figured out that type does not work for me. Guys don’t usually like a lot of drama, so when it comes around, it is easy for us to step. At this point the type of woman I like and date are pretty much the same, but there was a time when it was two totally different people.
I know I have a “type” and for me it is a classy, elegant, intelligent, mature, beautiful, girly-type woman. I used to date the hoochies and that used to be my attraction. You know video type girls, clothes short and tight when you go to the super market, cheap weave, crazy long nails with a funky design, lots of jewelry, more than likely a tattoo, Speak with a lot of street slang, but still intelligent, etc.

Y’all are crazy. I guess I never really had a ‘type’ per se. I’ve dated light skinned, dark skinned, big football playing guys, medium build, to now…high yellow and slender. I think the most common thread for me has been that mostly all of my boyfriends have been musicians (singing or playing…mostly playing musicians) But that’s because I’m a singer so therefore, that’s the atmosphere I’m always involved in. So of course I’m gonna be attracted to those I’m mostly around anyway. AND they’ve always been ‘church’ guys (with the exception of two), because again, that’s the environment I spent most of my time in. I don’t think I could date someone outside of those two elements because they would never be able to relate and understand my way of thinking and thus, my way of life and I don’t feel there’s anything wrong with that ‘for me’.
Hey, ImAPeach Back to one of yesterday’s topics, when I go to the Dominican place, what is it that I’m asking for specifically (to get the rollerset, blow out roots thingy?) Think I’m gonna make an appt for tomorrow morning.

DON’T CALL IT A COMEBACK!!!
Morning all; been in Orlando all week on biznesss, and lurking, but couldn’t resist comenting on this one.
I’ve ALWAYS had a type: short, thick, spanish girls. Growing up, if you didn’t fit that profile, you needed not apply. I even straight up married my dead on type…… and we know how that worked out. So now, I still have the type, but really any female has the potential to strike my fancy. I still have a weakness for my Latinas, though, so we’ll have to see about this new “open mindedness”.
Have a beautiful day, all.
@NCGirl, Blue_Kolla, Infamous, ImAPeach, Page, and my other peeps, PEACE n LOVE.

I’ve been single and dateless for so long, my type is single, straight and sane.
I hear assertive is the new black for girls in the dating world, however I haven’t quite grapsed the concept.
4thLonghaul, no appointment needed at the Dominican salon. However, be stratetic in the times you go, i.e. don’t go on a Saturday morning. Also, you’ll ask for a blowout. Beware, you’ll be hooked.
Great topic.

Prince I have to agree with you. My girlfriends (the single ones) and I are always asking, what is it about me that attracts THAT? The problem is, I haven’t figured out what the it is. My friends think that they know my “type” but they all think it’s pretty and lightskinned. Yet, I have never dated a pretty man, and the only lightskinned guy I ever dated was a guy my mom set me up with…he’s married now…to someone else! lolol!! I rarely even notice pretty men. I loooooove a chocolate man, (like Pepper, a BMW), but knows how to do some stuff! Mow the lawn, wash a car, knows which end of the screwdriver or hammer to use. Has some grease under a fingernail or two…crusty feet! For some reason, my friends all think I like the Metro type, and I must say loudly and clearly, I am NOT INTO METRO MEN! (No offense to you Metro bloggers.)
But, I will concede that perhaps a Metro man is exactly what I need. B/c what I’ve been doing, ain’t been working! (pout) Somebody help a sista out!

Hey 4th… what it do?! I think you should ask for Wendy, but you may have to wait. If you don’t want to wait, just put your name on the list and they will give you whoever is available. Just tell her you want to be set w/ rollers & blow out your roots. You’ll see pretty much everybody gets the same thing. I like to let them do that then wrap it and I leave with it wrapped…. are you going to Jimmy Carter or Windy Hill?
On topic: I have a prefernce, but I don’t really stick to it. If a guy is attractive to me, thats good enough. If i don’t talk to a guy, its more about what was not attractive about him. Like, im really not into jacked up teeth… ewww!!! However, i think gaps are soooo cute

I have a “type”, I about 6’3 so I always used to go for tall dark women who were somewhere btween the 6-10 size, but I was younger and more superficial then. Now I go for girl whose personality is beautiful too. No particular shade or ethnicity, more like somebody who has got their shyt together. Independent, and strong, but knows how to balance herself at home and work. What I mean is, LEAVE THAT INDEPENDENT CRAP AT WORK, YOU DON’T HAVE TO PROVE ANYTHING AT HOME, I ALREADY KNOW YOU’RE A STRONG WOMAN, SO AT HOME JUST BE MY WOMAN, I RESPECT YOU…Now what time will dinner be ready

Morning folk.
The man is trying to make me work today but I said naw!!
Laney I have to co-sign Prince’s post on this topic. We’ve already talked about how a lot of women live in a fantasy world, want to be swept off their feet by a knight in shining armor, some like the bad boys, dope boys, the ballas, want to be on the scene, want the extravagant man who has all the extras, etc. But fantasy and reality are completely different. Most of the time the fantasy can make a woman feel good temporarily but that’s why they are fantasies, because they don’t last. The reality of it is you can fall in love with a fantasy, but it’s not tangible, you’re not falling in love with that person, just that idea. But you can fall in love with a good man and have a family with him and grow old together, and that is probably why you end up with the other type of guy.
Here’s the kicker, deep down we all know what we want. We might not want to admit it or be ready to accept it just yet but we all know. Sometimes we fight it and chase the fantasies and it’s cool for a while but reality always sets in and your heart knows that is not what is gonna keep you happy for the long hall. So you might chase a certain type while you go through the fantasy stage but you will usually end up with what your heart wants deep down and what will truly keep you happy.

A redbone/bronze tone, a size 6 or 8, 5’4” cutie with that Halle Berry hair cut has been my type for years. Apparently, I’m not their type b/c I can never keep them around. Hoochie’s have always been around too, but we seem to part ways due to intellectual differences. Generally, if she has curves, and not just one round curve, I can work with it.
I remember dating someone outside of my norm…….a big girl. She was 5’9” and about 225lbs. She was a very pretty girl, redbone, intelligent, she had everything going on except her weight. We went on a couple of dates, but I had no inclination to…..how can I put this…..have that special moment to lay her head down on my pillow. I tried to look past the “issue”, but how can you look past 230lbs? Guaranteed, if she was around 140-150lbs., I could work with it. However, so could a lot of other dudes and her selection of dates would be greater. But that’s a topic for another day.

good morning all
I guess that I can say that I have a type.. but it isn’t based on physical appearance… I’ve dated black men of different hues.. heights and builds (though I’ve never dated an overweight man)..
Men who are driven..have good relationships with their immediate family.. passionate.. understanding.. honest.. overall gentlemen that know how to appreciate their women and have no problems showing their care are typically what I go for… I’ve never been interested in the bad boy image of a man because to me that shows that he has yrs before he’ll actually become a man in the true sense of the word…
I think that the deal Laney is that you’re putting men in boxes.. categorizing them by their styles.. artsy preppy… a man (or woman for that manner) can be both with ease.. it’s important to look more for their personality traits than what you see on the external. .or the venue that you’re attending.. I say that because I’ve been placed in boxes before.. however I wear many hats… and the bottom line is how well does this person treat you and how will you treat him?

Happy Friday Bloggers I have dated guys who look totally different from each other from all walks of like. I don’t have a particular “type”. Laney I think it’s about your personality, some things you will attract to yourself and keep and some things you will attract for the moment. I do have to say that what we think we like tends to be just about what we think. On the other hand that special someone is who we compliment and enhance and they in-turn compliment and enhance us, the pair make each separate person better.

Physical attraction is as important as any other quality of a relationship, people want to downplay it because they don’t want to appear shallow. If you think looks, weight, and height are not important….STOP BULLSKITTEN YOURSELF…Ya’ll actin as if you have never felt somebody was Fine..before you spoke to them.

@Cee….You said a mouthfull. But how many big women are willing to accept that kind of a statement from a guy? I don’t have any problems working out with her or any big girl. However, they have to want to get in shape for themselves, not for me or any guy.
@Peach…Yeah, there are guys around town who dig big girls. I have a buddy who is one of them. That’s his only “type”.
However, I want to propose a big girl challenge. Log how many dates you currently have on average/monthly. Dedicate 5 days out of the week to dieting, 3 days to cardio. At the end of 8 weeks, see if your dating options increase or not. I’ll bet they will. But more importantly, note how much healthier you will feel, and how much healthier you will look (see Celebrity Fit Club).

Morning folks!
I have a physical type that will make me do a double take, but honestly I’ve never dated anyone that is around 6’2”, 215 lbs of muscle, black as night, bald, with a beautiful smile. I did get involved with someone 6’2”, 215 lbs of muscle but he was brown skinned and had a gap in his teeth - until he got braces :) I even had a married friend tell me that she met a single guy but didn’t think to hook me up with him because he wasn’t dark skinned with a bald head! That’s when I had to break it down to her - because while that’s what I enjoy looking at physically I date all types of men.
What attracts me to a man is his ‘swagger’ - does he have some confidence about him. Then he must be able to stimulate my mind. I would date a man that was 5’2” if he was confident and intelligent. Does he cause me to think? Does he make me laugh? Does he find my carefree attitude refreshing? Is he living life to the fullest? Those are some things that attract me to a man.
The physical is great and I couldn’t date a man I couldn’t bare looking at - but if he and I can’t sit in a room with no TV, no music, no outside forces and just enjoy one another’s company simply then I don’t consider him to be a long-term prospect.
As it relates to the weight - personally I don’t blame a man for desiring a woman that is fit. If that is your preference then go for it. But with that - don’t lament that you can’t find a good woman if you are limiting yourself based on the physical. Be evolved enough to admit that you have yet to find a woman that meets your physical qualifications, with a good personality AND that a lot of the crap you’ve put up with women is due to the fact that you’ve limited yourself to those that fit your qualifications. Don’t put that mess on all women.
But if a woman doesn’t spark a ‘rise’ in you, then there is no reason for you to force yourself to be in relationship with her. Just be honest with yourselves and look at the entire picture.

@ Singlemom, thanks!
@ NCgirl, wow your friends missed the mark big time. Try the pretty-boy type and see how it goes, remember everyone is an individual so one guy does not classify all that type, it’s got to be something deeper than that. Check out the background also, there has to be more of a common thread.

@Jake I am well aware of the opinion of some guys about dating and choice but apparently size is used as a jumping board for the funny stuff so tell you what, since we want to spring board off the fat women and talk down about them and call them desperate and actually show offense that they would dare want to date or be seen in the first place I say lets spring board off of all. We can go from the really dark to the really higher yeller still doing paper bag test folks, you know the drill. Or if that doesnt suit you we can do nationality. Lets just take off the political correct gloves and slam everyone. Let see, you mentioned height, that’s one of my favorite as I always get approached by the low to the ground fellows, you know the type ones who are too short to touch the light switch or who have to jump to get stuff out of the cabinets. I always think now what can he possible do for me but sweep under the bed better with the dust mop considering he has a eye level view.

Tell’em NC!!! They kill me, but its whatever. I don’t want anybody who doesn’t want me. Yes, im a full figured girl, and I find that not every guy is attracted to me, but there are dudes that try and talk to me. Frequently really. But thats because 1. I have a nice personality 2. Im not ugly 3. I keep my appearance up and im not sloppy 4. Im funny. And once a dude gets to know me, if I wasn’t his type, physically, usually my other attributes tend to stand out and the attraction is more than body type. I know im not for everybody, but the ones I am for don’t have a problem with my body :)

BTW that 6’2” man that was 215 lbs of muscle loved my plus sized body - so there are men out there that do and its not the fugly ones. However I did date a guy that wasn’t really into my type physically but loved me as a person. In the end it didn’t work out and he ended up marrying a Halle Berry type. He tried and it didn’t work. And that is the reason I don’t try to convince any man that isn’t totally into me physically to be with me because of my personality. And if I suspect that a man isn’t satisfied with my physical appearance but he’s trying because of my personality I will definitely get out of that relationship quick, fast and in a hurry.

@running I’m still here bro. I was expecting for “hit dawgs” to holla! LOL! No women have a problem with type/preference when it comes to passing over……hhmmm……short guys. It’s all fair to judge and have a right of preference. Okay, let a guy have a preference of women under a size 12, and he’s being judged as unfair, unsensitive, or anything but positive.
With the big girl I dated in the past, I never said anything about either of us being into one another. I’m sure she was probably dating taller guys and she was giving me a shot too. We both gave each other a shot outside of our “normal type”, and it didn’t work. Who’s to say it won’t work for others? Not me.

To Ghost’s defense, I don’t think he said his plus sized friend was only good for hitting it. He admitted that he couldn’t imagine hitting it. And I don’t think that’s any worse than me saying I couldn’t imagine kissing a man with a jacked up grill.

Do you think you have a “type”?
I don’t really have a “type” that I stick to. There has to be something about a man that draws me in, something I can make a real connection with. It’s a total package type thing, with everything I like in the right proportions in that package. I’ve dated all physical types, all backgrounds, income levels, but the tie that binds is that they all had something unique about the way everything that made them who they are fit together.

(and he was an Alpha too) Nobody knew why we liked him, but it was just something about him and we knew nothing about his pockets. Some dudes just have it together.

@ BK One is responsible for their own happiness—as an adult.. I agree.. however… I’ll take it back to high school for a sec.. especially a majority black high school.. (keep in mind I’m not saying this applies to everyone plus sized but it definitely applies to some).. if a girl was full figured in middle/high school I’d argue that she was either getting teased… treated differently.. or immediately placed in friendzone only because of her physical appearance…you know what you guys went for back then.. and that experience transfers into adulthood.. even here on this blog you see guys acting all childish and inappropriate about women..
So what happens? a plus sized woman that was full figured in middle/high school has to reconstruct their esteem level …
And back to my former comment BK whether women want to admit it or not…the way that they’re viewed by men affects their psyche.. if I’m constantly being rejected or not being pursued then it will affect my esteem level regardless of how strong I may think I am.. a person can only take so much…
Unfortunately a person’s physical appearance plays such an important role in how they’re viewed by others… why do you think so many women have their swagger back after getting their hair done. .or wearing a new outfit.. it isn’t only because it feels good to self… I just hope the day comes where the majority of us can reach that level of enlightenment where we will not let anyone take that joy away from us…
& btw.. I wasn’t saying that ghost was referring to “only hitting”… but that is the view of some men..
And as for jayz nothing will make that man attractive physically… remove the clothes..take away the cash and tell me you’re still attracted to him…
