Whats Your Type

Whats Your Type Let us get vain here for a minute? Do you mind? I hope not. Cause it is happening. As much as we all want to fall in love with the personality of a guy, we all know that the first thing you see with a potential interest is their looks. For me, Im always attracted to the same type of guy. I have a very particular type. What is my type you might ask? The lumberjack. Yes. I like a beefy guy with a solid five oclock shadow who could be featured in a Brawny ad, an Old Spice commercial, or somewhere in the woods. They are always taller than me where I could wear heels and still be shorter and they always look strong enough to take a flirtatious stronger than I think I am slap on the arm from me. While personalities have varied, Ive rarely stray from my type. It is actually pretty ridiculous how every guy Ive dated falls so easily into the mold. Dont think you have a type? I bet you do. Maybe yours is more personality based (you lucky girl you) or maybe like me, you go for a certain look. If you dont know your type, ask your friends. My friends called me out on my type to a T. And then I called them out right back. But now that I am so blatantly aware of my type, Ive run into a problem. While trying online dating, you are matched based on fit with your personality questions. Somehow, no lumberjacks fit as part of my matches! OkCupid is not letting me date my type. I did find one guy that was my type- literally he was carrying a tree and had a red and black plaid shirt on. But we were only a 20% match, (we can really get into if this percentage matters in a later post). As a bit of a social experiment, I messaged him. He messaged me back. He seemed okay, but then he started texting me. Lets just say- FAIL. There were a lot of typos. So what do you think? If you know what you like, should you stick with it?   Or should you try to go beyond the type? As much as you want to date the person for what is inside, doesnt the outside play into how you feel about them? Okay. Laurens brief moment of vain-ness over, but sure to be re-hatched when I hear what you think! Lets talk. Happy Thursday Yall!
