I have 6 men in my WVM list....
they are absolutely my favorite men here on this site. they looked at my profile once and I kept them on the list to see if they were on line. I have very warm and friendly feelings for all of them and I hope vice versa.
now, what struck me....is that most of them are the same type of men. if I was able to combine their looks, a man of this type would come forward:
blonde, tall, skinny and wearing glasses...
the fun thing is....my type, my perfect match, is absolutely none of this.
my type is, apart from being taller than me, quite the opposite.
so I wonder if I have to review my favorite specific type of men. maybe the picture I had in mind about what a perfect match would be, has changed without me not being aware?
so my question is......did you stick with your favorite type of man or woman over the years or has it changed too?
and were you aware of it?
or is this something that comes along with internet dating? that you talk to people you wouldn't talk to so soon in real life?
hope my question is clear.....if not....blame it on my lack of sleep...

Yeah, eventually the penny dropped that gravitating towards fellas who looked like my dad, but had the temperament of my mother was had lost its appeal.
I don;t have a specific type. tho there has to be a physical attraction, and I have been attracted to men who fit a variety of characteristics - tall short skinny stocky dark blonde yadda yadda
it has to be something other than what he looks like and some personality traits are important

jac379: Yeah, eventually the penny dropped that gravitating towards fellas who looked like my dad, but had the temperament of my mother was had lost its appeal.
gave that a thought too...
my dad is blackhaired, dark eyes and dark skin. haven't seen him in years, but the last one I saw, he looked like luciano pavarotti.... always been attracted to men with beards by the way.
my ex was of that type too....(not luciano!!!)
perhaps this has something to do with it? that I feel some reluctance towards these types of man?
strange question of me perhaps....I was just wondering.

I hear ya! Tho my dad was pretty cute in his day I guess I'd date a guy who looked like him but I'd prefer he didn't have the personality characteristics of either of my parents. period.
For now, it's guys who are at least 5'8"-6'4" They have Blonde hair and blue eyes or they're brunette with blue eyes.They're either in the military or they at least support it.Could change later but those are mine for now.
