Hi guys
How often have I heard this come out of the mouths of women, including directed at me sometimes. I wonder what it means in actuality. I know it exists very much for women and a lot less so for guys. We may all have a propensity for a certain sort of girl, but when an HB8 and above walks in the room, lets face it, we all pretty much are interested!
As for women, how does one deal with being a type!!! I mean, if one is just themselves you have automatically eliminated those women whom your type is not attractive to. But its clear some guys get more action than others, so they must be able to cover more "types" I am guessing? Where is the distinction?
Here is an anecdote of "type". I used to know this girl who was smoking hot. I mean I would go to bits looking at her. She was an indie music sort of girl and spent her life watching bands play and fantasising over the muso's. But here's the thing - whenever I was in a group of people watching a band and she was there I would watch her carefully to see what she was fantasising over. The one she was obsessing about was not the suave uber cool ****y guitarist, not the strong manly drummer, not the pretty boy singer, it was the nerdy weedy little spectacled bass player - you know the kind of guy who permanently stares at his shoes and is uncomfortable with eye contact with anyone, his shoulders are slumped and has a little boys haircut and ill fitting jeans. Basically the kind of guy that most PUA community literature tells every guy they cannot be. I mean this chick could have landed anyone yet consistently this is the type that she would pine over and suffer over when things didn't work out with her and her latest geeky boyfriend. I knew another girl once that I worked with was mouth wateringly attractive, and she was attracted to some super church going nerdy type as well.
So I can accept that with women they do have a type regardless of who you are. But if this is true, how does one account for the George Clooney's or other female heartthrob characters drawn up by the media that seem to appeal uniformly to women. Doesn't this fly in the face of the "type" theory women have?
