Social Science Do You Have a 'Type'?

[Roobs321]

Some of those bollywood actresses are outstanding.

I've found that Indians are really cool. I think their strict upbringing at times is a positive come adult life.

 

[treefingers]

Not interested. Seriously.

Are they these kind of shoes?

 

[treefingers]

Intelligent, kind

Bullshit.

In two words: Zooey Deschanel

Personality, looks, funny, talent, can sing, slightly husky voice, dark hair pale complexion

 

[Cruyff14]

Always liked the darker types. Berenice Marlohe, Penelope Cruz, Abigail Spencer as examples.

I will gladly take Emma Watson off your hands

Bogan girls don't do it for me. Someone who can leave there phone at home does.

I know a few girls who are into hippy things, alternative medicine, healing threw food, dresses and no bra's, like there scotch and George Thorogood, home schooling, environmentally aware (not into a fad) Irish dancing, teaching their kids how to use swords, camping and that. These are women I'd breed with, wouldn't breed with any other type.I don't want my kids life confined to a box, a narrow tunnel, told what to do ,think, act and feel and pressured to spend their money from every medium......my type would teach their kids this is wrong. Arguing about what type of human we're raising would be counter productive,having a child sense two completely different mindsets would be confusing.Having to change or hide who we are,to breed, defeats the purpose. Plus i know these types of women can handle being a single parent,take on both roles and not rely on the system and its forces to get by ( in case i died or something)


I couldn't care how lousy or smelly in bed she was.

that's deep man

My wife reckons my 'type' is thin, petite brunettes. I don't really know why exactly - yeah, I don't mind that look on the right girl, but it's not the be-all, end-all. Anyway, she's 6 foot tall, curvy Germanic type and I married her, so obviously it's not that important to me.

I've found as I get older I am not that picky about what I find attractive. In Atlanta there are a lot of black folks, and I have come to find an appreciation for the busty, booty-laden young black women of which there are a plethora around here.

If I had my ultimate choice and I had my pick of any woman in the world it would probably be a tallish, petite and perky-breasted slavic woman. Russian chicks are the bomb, though I reckon Croatians go alright too!

My mates tell me my standards are impossible, but really I just can't stand women that don't have any interests or quirky hobbies. Someone a few pages back mentioned the amount of girls without genuine interests is staggering - totally agreed. So I guess my 'type' is a girl who is interested in music and sport, but into different bands/teams/sports than me, and can hold an intelligent conversation about both. Must have one other major interest that I know nothing about, not afraid to be passionate about things. Must be switched on, preferably decently educated, and has an outstanding sense of humour (ie. must know either Seinfeld or The Simpsons). Gets it when I'm being sarcastic and enjoys having non-serious debates about things that don't matter. Modest-to-casual dress sense preferred. My one physical necessity is that they're slightly shorter than me (I'm 176cm/5'9''). Non-clubber is essential.

And I recently added another: not Australian. Going on holidays for three weeks and staying in hostels was a real eye-opener.

I'll be happy with any girl that isn't interested in my money.

What if she liked Bruce? Or The Stones?

She's so quirky!

 

[HBF]

I also have a real thing for half-asian chicks.

Have you seen Kyomi off The Voice?

 

[neng]

I was asked the other day by a friend this exact question.

Realised then I don't have a preference for blonde or brunette going from my past relationships, but I think I like the brunette look slightly more. I seem to in the past have attracted the tomboy types, even though I don't actually want one. I want a woman who is strong in public, but soft in private. Boob sizes don't matter. As long as they look after themselves a little, body doesn't matter too much either. What gets me is the eyes, the ones that look right through you when you look at the person... they are definitely my type!

These eyes for example:

Obviously kidding myself...

Girl I stood next to at Hanging Rock 2, and miraculously ended up next to on the bus back to Melb, was pretty perfect. Spent her week's rent on the ticket, she was that into Bruce. NZer as well. But alas I was sick as a dog by that stage and could hardly talk

Never met one that is properly into the Stones. See plenty at uni wearing the logo, but it's all for show.

Ditto the Ramones t-shirts you see around

 

[Shell]

Intelligent, kind, funny without being too sarcastic, likes sport but doesn't need to be particularly athletic himself, even-tempered, doesn't smoke/do drugs, prefer dark hair over light hair, taller than me (but that's not usually a problem anyway, I'm about 5'4" or 5"), thinks I'm cute

One of the common things I've been noticing in this thread, is that everyone prefers brunettes over blondes.

Sucks to be me.

Oh, and +1 with the no smoking thing. (I like sarcasm tho- I'm pretty sarcastic person meself. )

 

[Roobs321]

Agreed with the interests thing.

When i'm retired, I want to do things like go to the movies on cheap Tuesdays and have a discussion about the movie (ie. "that was okay" wont cut the mustard). Maybe both join a book club. I am not elitist and somewhat anti-culture, but I need a relatively smart person who is fluent in the arts. I'm the sort of person where my partner will end up being my best friend, so these things are important.

I find Russians (men and women) quite hot as well, and intellectually very interesting, which is a perfect mix. But I don't think I could imagine living 70 years with one. If you have ever had a Russian friend, you will know that the claims of the Russian/Slavic soul are usually true. They can be maddening people at times. I could see love with them being very passionate and also very irritating.

 

[Roobs321]

Agreed. I think being obsessed with girls like Zooey Deschanel and the type of girls you see in a movie like Ruby Sparks define the guy. It defines them as a pseudo-intellectual. That Stacey girl from Big Brother last year is in a similar mould.

 

[Roobs321]

Ditto the Ramones t-shirts you see around

Same for a majority of Australian males who ever wore FC Barcelona or Chicago Bulls apparel really.

 

[SugarShane]

Probably the biggest two traits that i enjoy are blondes, and/or chicks with glasses. That said though i have found girls from all different types to be attractive.

Oh judgement, thou art fled to brutish beasts,
and men hath lost their reason.

 

[dales.girl38]

Bullshit.

I don't see why guys have such a hard time understanding this. Every girl, be it from the start or after a while of dating jerks, will eventually start to value those qualities in guys. It's just a cop out guys use, usually when they're not that nice anyway.

Do you think that every nice guy is single and it's only the jerks that get married?

 

[treefingers]

That Stacey girl from Big Brother last year is in a similar mould.

Totally incomparable.

I think Zooey Deschanel looks cute, that's about it.

That Stacey chick was headcase.

I think it's pretty common for girls in particular to prefer the tall, dark and handsome type.

I don't mind a bit of sarcasm at all, I use it myself sometimes, I just don't care for those guys who use it as their single/biggest form of humour. Probably the least clever form of humour.
