A question posed by Lionhearted in another thread got me thinking. Does anyone else find that they seem to date a certain kind of person without thinking about it. I seem to continuously get into relationships with outgoing girls from the country who are generally ambivalent about pop culture, have poor self-esteem, feel uncomfortable with commitment, and all share this strange love for slap-happy comedy movies. Not saying these traits are bad, it just seems to be a pattern for me. Does anyone else experience this?

Hmmmmmmmmmm,,, Profile the women you date? In how they present themselves? or how the tend to be in reality? Now this is the question! LOL

But yeah, I know what you mean,,, Though the biggest similarity is the evasion of commitment.

I dunno. Kind of hard to say objectivly. I guess I never really thought about it before. On reflection, I guess I do seem to date opposites. I don't really know why, thought. Interesting...

I know I seemed to date opposites. They are interesting to me because of their different ways of seeing things. Alot of times they have what I lack and visa versa. When it comes to emotional ways though I have many times tended to pick men that are not good at expressing their deepest feelings which really doesn't combine good with me.

I used to be that way same types of people, same outcomes, but I tried living on the "edge" and I have a "partner" that is nothing that I have ever wanted in a guy, and I really enjoy him.

Not all, but a lot have been very similar.

Tried dating my polar opposite ONE TIME ONLY!!!

Exciting? Yes, but man, what a struggle and what a hard crash.

It seemed most of the time I'ld get hooked up with the bad women. No joke, one had been in prison, two were ex druggies, and acouple were biker chicks. My own fault tho for hangin out in the wrong places when I use to ride. Guess thats why I'm here tired of that kind of b.s. and hoping to meet a nice girl for once.

This will be a very weird post :)
When I was a kid I pictured the type of woman that I would be with and I've seemed to always stick with that type. I also have an Ex that whenever I'm single I would seem to go back to. Recently that's changed. Being her friend over the last 2 years I discovered why I could never commit to a relationship with her and eventually broke off the friendship.
I think it's hard not to have a vision of what you want and then attract it to you. It's like watching a movie and falling in love with the lead characters traits. Later on you notice the exact same traits in a co-worker and start to feel pulled towards that person.
Does that make sense?


Oh, yeah. And Tall Brunettes always seem to attract me. lol
(I'll stop when I get the flower lol :)

Humm? Good thread. I have dated women from all walks of life pretty much, and quite a few different personalities types to. I have learned a lot from all of them, especially what I like and dislike.

Now a day a look for women who are not out to change who I am, and I offer that in return. I haven't the will or the patients to try to change someone, and if I feel the need to that's not the right person for me...so there..lol

I definitely have a pattern...mostly for distant, egotistical, non-commital, mean guys. Not sure why either. Right now I'm looking for someone NICE! Might as well give it a try, right? I think that "need to fix it" syndrome is in all of us. There's hope for us yet!
