GTKY: Whats your Type?

[MrsTinMKE]

In honor of WWF gettin her groove back... I am curious what is your type when it comes to a SO, if you have a type?  

What is your type physically?

What is your preferred personality type?

Is your SO what you always thought to be your type to be?

[MrsTinMKE]

I will start...

I have a total thing for bigger guys/stockier guys, light hair and a little scruffy (facial hair). H is totally my type. I think a big guy just makes me feel safe and secure. I love it. Personality wise - I am attracted to the goofball that can make me laugh and someone that doesn't take themselves too seriously. Again totally my H.

Soo..what is your type?

[MrsJepp]

I've always liked tall, dark and handsome. I like my man to look manly but to be gentle and kind. DH meets all of those criteria. The one that he doesn't meet is in his ability with children. I wanted a man who was good with kids and DH just isn't. He loves our kids and tries but he is not good at it naturally.

ETA - One other thing I must have is a man who is smart and can hold a smart conversation. DH is definitely that. 

[kaylajade]

I guess my type is tall, dark hair and light eyes. I also seem to have a thing for manual workers. I prefer a man who works with his hands rather than in an office.
I generally like a guy who is smart to a point where they can hold an intellectual conversation, but not so smart that I feel like a dunce.
Someone laid back and funny.

SO is all of those things and probably the only guy I have been with who does fit all these categories.

[lrobi13]

Well SO was not my type historically.

I used to like guys with shaved heads.
I also liked guys who dressed like J. Crew models and had wavy blondish hair and smooth faces. My run-ins with guys like that made it seem like those types of guys were giant a-holes.

Personality wise I guess I was drawn to goofy guys who were the life of the party.

DH's personality is a bit more serious but it is the balance I needed because I'm so goofy. He is not the most outgoing person at parties.He is a great planner.

He just about had permanent scruff and his face. He has very dark hair that he keeps super short thanks to some cow licks (he gets wolverine hair if it grows out too long). He dresses pretty basic with collared shits and jeans most of the time.

Tall, brown hair, glasses, strong arms. Got all four with DH!

[mrsbabe614]

I like clean guys who occasionally get scruffy. I like a little muscle but not overly muscled, like he spends more time in the gym than with me. (don't get me wrong I love to look at those men) We'll call my preference toned. I like nice teeth, it's kind of a must. He needs to know how to treat a woman, I don't like assholes. DH is the perfect mix of old school values and letting me be an independent woman. He knows I can do everything myself he just doesn't want me to. I enjoy being mouthy so I need a man who can hang. Just make me laugh and worship the ground I walk on. Is that so much to ask?!?!


EDIT: Ryan Gosling. Ryan Gosling is my Jam

[staryb]

If I look at the guys I dated or was interested in before DH I'd say my type was tall lanky guys with fun outgoing personalities. DH is barely taller than me and though he has a great personality he is more reserved. That being said, I was friends with DH for several years before we dated and always found him attractive. Like almost out of my league, too good for me attractive which is odd because at the time I wasn't interested in him romantically.

[rockynfrankie]

I like big guys with a sense of humor. They also have to smell good and dress appropriately for the situation. Like dress up if you're going out but I don't like when guys are always dressed up. It makes me feel like I have to dress nice and I'm lazy. DH is all of those things.

[angnjon]

Personality wise I prefer a guy with a great sense of humor, well balanced smarts (book & street smarts, common sense), and a big heart. I'm generally attracted to a guy physically who is tallish, well groomed, a good dresser & in pretty good shape! I'm also a sucker for a good smile! I would say that DH has all these great qualities & many more!

[maggie6424]

Physically I like a man's man. I don't want someone who looks like a male model.
I love someone who is fun, romantic, and laid back but has a good work ethic.
H is manly, fairly laid back and has a great work ethic. He is NOT romantic, and fun is questionable. He's too serious sometimes.

[emerald27]

I like tall, blonde, blue eyes. I prefer strong and masculine to the lame scrawny dudes around these days. Personality wise, intelligence, sense of humor, and gentleness/compassion are really important to me. DH is all of this.

ETA: honesty is also super important, as well as loving cats!

[lindzoid]

I need a man that works with his hands and can fix stuff. None of this office worker type for me. I need some muscles to grab onto and feel around me at night.
Most important I need a caring, loving father to my children. All of this is DH.
He takes care of me and our 3 children and would do anything for us. ❤️

Edit for wrong emoji

[swise22]

I like guys that are tall with dark hair and they have to be athletic. If I can beat you at a sport it's a major turn off for me. DH has blonde hair and blue eyes so not my type looks wise but he attracted me with his sense of humor and amazing personality. After that, I found him to be more and more attractive. I've really never been the type to look at a guy and think he's hot right away though. The personality is what draws me in.

[beezbeez]

Several years ago I really wanted to try to figure out if I had a type, so I decided to make a spreadsheet with all the guys I've dated alongside a variety of physical traits. The only trends I found were that they were all male and most of them had brown hair. Like most people (other than in Scandinavia maybe). True story.

[ohioloveyou]

My type is broad shouldered, dark hair. Tall or short doesn't matter to me, but must be taller than me at least. Personality wise I love for a guy to have a great sense of humor, and be a good listener. Both of these are DH. I am surprised I fell for someone as quiet as him, but it works out well because I talk enough for the both of us.

[sweetsurprise]

I have always liked bookish guys. Brown hair. Glasses. But not dorky. As for personality, I like a good mix humor and intellectualism. My DH is alllll that and a bag of chips. Plus he's almost a foot taller than me, which is sexy!

[hecklet]

I typically am attracted to taller, darker haired men. I like nerdier guys with big hearts. Not into really muscular guys. I usually am attracted more to personality and then once I like their personality they become more attractive to me. So really I like all kinds  . A good sense of humor, wittiness, and thoughtfulness are all very important to me. 

My DH is NOT my physical "type", but he is personality wise. He is only about 1/2 inch taller than me and has pretty much been balding/had a receeding hairline since I met him. I always expected to end up with a tall man with a full head of hair!
