You're just not my type

[saechalyn]

Ever meet someone who was SO not your "type" (if you have one) but you were attracted to them anyway? A general rule, perhaps, like you don't date people shorter than you, or who are overweight, or who don't have a job, or whatever, and meet someone who made you want to break it? Did you have to "get over" their size, their less than perfect teeth, etc., or did you realize you just didn't care about that factor anymore? Any stories or comments, share!

I normally don't go for blondes, but there was this girl and she was very unusual looking in her beauty - the blonde hair killed me though. We had a friend in common, and we started hanging out together and I discovered that she was an awesome person, had a really cool personality and the blonde hair became invisible to me. We dated for awhile, and at one point she dyed her hair black and I almost cried, because I missed the blonde! Ah well...*sigh* I miss that girl!

[Guest Game of Chance]

Totally. More than once even. But usually the more I got to know them, the more I realized that we shared even less common ground than I might have initially thought. And at that point, its pretty much over.

Ug and lately I've been catching myself checking out guys in suits...way far away from my type!

I think I might be subconsciously looking for a sugar daddy... :fear

[Homicidalheathen]

Yes twice, and for spiritual reasons. The first guy was tall skinny...not very good looking....but he could put you in a state of higher conciousness just sitting with him....he did amazing things I cannot even go into. I fell in love with him then into more of a brother sister love....it was great. I sure miss the guy....we parted best freinds.

The other was too short....small penis....but he taught me allot about chaos majick and tantric sex. I fell in love with his mind more than his body. His soul well....it took some getting used to.....we did not stay freinds and I left. We were in a band and it just didn't work out. It was too hard to stay freinds after all that.

[The_Dark]

I used to know this girl... we hated each with a passion.. yet at the same time... we wanted to each so much it hurt.

[Brenda Starrr]

Yeah. It was Wayne.

[Msterbeau]

Yeah. It was Wayne.

Yeah... but you're warping him nicely in the right direction. :laughing

[kellygrrrrrl]

AT the time, I was 18 years old, working at tubby's. With no improvement in my financial position in site. I was irresponsible, wild, and didn't care about anything etc....

There was this guy. He was 40 SO sexy, tall, debonaire (sp?), A Metro-Sexual if you will, Rich, a psycologist, AND a proffessional massuse (sp?). Had a giant pad in DT Royal Oak, was funny, sophisicated, need I say more? FOR SOME REASON, this guy was SOOOO into me????? He wanted me and made it a point to let it be known. I couldn't figure it out? What would a guy like this want with irresponsible, tom-boy, young bitchy me???

He used to whisper dirty things to me......I was shy and he just made me blush, becuase I didn't believe him....I did not believe that a guy like this really wanted to be with me......it was too good to be true. I never did pursue....I had no REAL interest.

[Brenda Starrr]

Yeah... but you're warping him nicely in the right direction.  :laughing

I am, aren't I?

[EvilEve]

i use to not want to date anyone with light hair, or eyes. (had a really creepy dream about that once!) but, i ended up seeing this guy who was in his 30's (i was 19yrs. old [bad EVE! should know better than to date someone waaaayyy older!!] and was curious) and wasn't that bad. he had the features i wasn't attracted to, but i loved the idea that he could teach me things. the only bad thing was that i broke it off with him to go out with someone else at that time because he didn't want to be in a serious relationship... just wanted young, naive, shy, sexual me to have fun with, and that's it. hate to say it, but it was pretty funny when he got teary eyed because i broke it off with him to be with someone who would care for me the way i needed to be, and not just want a "friend" for a booty-call. :grin serves him right for playing with a scorp.

I've dated a few men who were very odd looking - at first they looked so different that I would sometimes catch myself staring at them in that "they sure are weird looking" sort of way...but lovely, lovely personalities which grew on me.

Unfortunately, both of them harbored bitterness/resentment and the ego bruises that some people who are "rather weird looking" carry around and turned into: "I hate myself, and think I am shit...and you love me, therefore, you are even worse that I am!!"

BLEH! after the lovely personality ended, there was just this self-pitying, uglier than usual person left and I took off ASAP.

I figure we all get old and weird looking - of course, there has to be physical attraction...and I am good at not noticing the less awesome physical attributes if the person is wonderful. However, I cannot overlook: bad teeth, obese or other signs of ill-health.

side note:

I have also dated some really gorgeous men - and all 4 of them were stupid bores...so now I hardly notice the droolworthy ones. Give me a dorky brunette guy in a suit!! *rubs hands cackling*

[LuluVox]

My first major relationship was with a guy, who, when I first met, I thought was one of the least attractive people I'd ever seen. Just...very odd-looking. But then we ended up having a class together in 10th grade, found out that we had a ton in common (including the same birthday), and I eventually fell for him in a major way, and couldn't see the "odd" in his face anymore. Until later, when he started acting like a child. Then he looked bad again.

[Head Wreck]

yes.

a little too perfect looking, tanned skin, short hair, and an absolute slut (sorry to say but its true, when i first met her she was after every man or woman bar myself at the gig) wearing black hotpants and croptop combo (she had the figure for it but ugh. i prefer women who know how to dress properly).

at first dissregarded her for another bimbo, collage bycicle or one of those girls who laugh at us wierd folk with her friends.

till about a month later when the rest of the sicophantic crowd thathad taken over the alternative scene at collage dedcided, allthough it was cool and in fasion to be wierd and possibly unstable, that she and i were the real deal and therefore everyone kinda kept away (file with girls pretending to be bi when thier homophob hetro)

we got talking, we helped each other with collage work, often went out for coffe in the same group.

5 years on... well what happned is infamous. and i think i was right with my first assumption.

[TomCat]

Yeah, I have no "type" as a matter of fact, I'm quite sure that if/when I discover my "type" that those in it will be so repulsed that I hope that I never do, so I can avoid that kind of rejection.

[Killer_Bunnie]

I have no idea why, but I went for 3 people who were not at all my type, I prefer rather heavy guys, who are a little geeky and my height or taller. I don't know why I like that, but I do.

the first started as a pity thing, I was the only person who was nice to him, and although I wasn't at all attracted to him, when someone asked if I was his girlfriend, he said yes, so I went with it. unfortunatly even though he was sweet, things didnt work out, his brother called me and told me that he broke up with him for me, that was never how I wanted it to go, but we stayed friends.

the second, well, he was just too nice, and I was only 4 years older than his daughter, but I was 18 and to get him to realise he couldn't want me, we went out a few times, bad idea, he still tries to get me to see him all these years later.

the last one, was skinny, and preppy, quiet and a little shy, basicly things I can't stand in a guy, but I had soo much fun with him, I was upset when we broke up, but still see him around sometimes and talk to him.

[EatAjaxAndDie]

I went out with this girl for a very long time (close to 3 years.) I have no idea why. She was so whiny, evil and spiteful, and was not all that great looking (however she had a beautiful face...) She was the complete opposite of what I am looking for in a woman (in al honesty, while physical attraction is important, if you are a good person that completely trumps She had even attempted to literally ruin my life after we had broken up. And to this day sometimes I wonder why I was with her so long...

[Guest Game of Chance]

Speaking of...I just went out with this girl...who looks like Barbie. And she's obsessed with Barbie. She even had a skirt on with the word Barbie on the butt. But she's so damned hot. And actually pretty cool (despite the Barbie obsession). I'll let you know how it goes.

[Nienna]

yes.

Yes. It was this guy I went to highschool with.And after I ended things He ended up putting up this "fake blog"and would post these imaginary stories about me, how we were still dating and the things we did that weekend..it was down right creepy. ,He even went as far as to changed my yahoo password and yahoo profile to say that I was a pedofile.

It took me contacting the police for it to stop. BUT... For all I know, he could have started the blog back up again.

That alone is pretty much the only reason why I'm leary about everyone man I meet. I know you can't judge all men by the ignorance and stupidity of one.

anyhoo..just my two cents...

Yikes! That is scary.

[saechalyn]

I really don't have a "type" but pretty much any time I say "I'm really not attracted to _________" someone fitting that description comes along and throws that idea out the window. So I've pretty much learned not to say it.

[Steven]

I married mine. She wasent my type in many ways. Thank God.

My type was almost always, the wrong type: Beautiful, Scandelous, Addictive, Manipulative, Exotic, Manic, Non Trusting, etc etc etc.

[JaneDead]

Yeah. It was Wayne.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

yeah it was my husband too

it is not even so much he is not my "type" cuz i really don't have a type but we just like really different things which i have realized more and more as we have been married.

[Morbid Side]

Finding someone who has zero in common is a testament to how I feel about meeting someone and finding out that you don't mix and match. I know for sure it's nice to know that the differences that the other person has from yours can sometimes not always help nourish what you're looking for in a partner. But in more ways than one it can help you figure out that everything happens for a reason and even if you and your partner don't work out, end up breaking up/calling it quits theres always that strong possibility that fate will bring you back together.. not what likes/disklikes you have even if it seems like theres no hope to rekindle your relationship. There once was a type wise for me but oddly enough now-a-days I go for the invisible woman.

She's not there.
