Is your significant other your "type"?

I don't think I really have a specific type from a looks standpoint, other than I love blue eyes. And DH has some amazing blue eyes. He also happens to be very handsome, but I would have been o.k. with someone just o.k. looking.

My big criteria when dating was I only dated nice guys. I was never into the bad boys. My sister got raked over the coals by so many bad boys that it left a bad taste in my mouth for that type. My girlfriends always tell me DH is the nicest man they know, and I have to agree. :) So yes, I guess I married my type. :)
 
God, I sure hope so. Oh, you mean physically? Well, we look like opposites. He has light hair and light eyes. I don't think that really matters, though.

We seem to have a lot in common. Similar love of sports and active lifestyles. We are both health conscious. He is more of a workaholic than I am. He is more dedicated to his job. I guess that I admire him for that, though.

He is not a run-of-the mill type of person. He is different than everyone else. He seems to be capable of unconditional love. So far so good......


Oh yeah, he is a big talker. Which is good for me because I'm a good listener.

What makes two people compatable? What makes people stay togethor? Can we bottle it?
;) :sunny:
 
Nope. Not at all.

My type is blond, beautiful, clean shaven and charming (think Brad pitt).

My fiance is a large man (6 feet tall and 260 lbs) with curly dark hair and a goatee and mustache.

I don't know what it is but I never end up with my "type".

He forces me to rethink my former preference for dark hair, dark eyes, though I've always liked guys really, really big. I think it's because I'm 5'3".
(once again, my tag resonates. :) )

DH wasn't my type when I met him--but he is now:)

I normally went for the semi built, average height guys (even they made me feel short) but something just clicked with DH and I so now I'm with a tall drink of water:)
 

danacara... what happened to your boyfriend?????? :earseek:
 
My DH-2-Be mostly fits my type. I like big, tall guys that are muscular with just a bit of chub. Not overly muscular, nothing like the cover of Muscle & Fitness magazine...yuck! My honey fits those traits as he is 6'4", very broad shoulders, and he's a big intimidating guy. I like guys that look really intimidating, but are actually big teddy bears. Where he doesn't totally fit is I usually like guys with shaved heads, a few tattoos and facial hair. Why? I have no clue. But he can't really grow a lot of facial hair (he says it's cuz he's 1/2 Korean :p ), he would not look good with a shaved head and he doesn't have any tattoos. I used to have a crush on Goldberg, which he still teases me about, and the Rock. OMG, the Rock...yummmmmm... ;) I also have a weird crush on that guy in the Bissell commercial who lays on the carpet and rubs it, that big biker looking guy. I know, I'm such a weirdo :rolleyes:

Ooooh, and a deep voice (not Barry White deep, but a manly voice) - he's got that! ;)
 
I always dated dark guys, dark hair, dark eyes, dark skin. DH was the only blue-eyed, blond I ever dated. Plus he had long blond hair for the first 6 years we were together.
 
Well, DH is tall, dark, handsome, smart, funny, nice, ambitious and a fantastic father. What's not to like?

Come to think of it, what could he possible see in me? :eek: ;)

I always went for dark haired guys though, so he is definitely my type.
 
Dh and I met online by accident. If I had seen him at a club or on the street I would have never given him a chance. While he fits some of the physical characteristics I normally look for (dark hair, blue eyes) he COMPLETELY doesn't fit others (my dh has never exercised a day in his life, not overweight but not physically fit either).

It's a good thing he's a smooth talker :p When I went to meet him in person he had completely unkempt long dark hair (I HATE long hair on men!) that was frizzy and stood on end (yes it really was that bad!) Well, by then it was too late, I had totally fallen for him and took the first risk I'd ever taken in life and 7 years and 2 kids later, it's the best chance I've ever taken!

I *finally* convinced him to cut his hair this year into a style that fits the texture of his hair and now he gets so many compliments he'll never go back to that Albert Einstein look. Thank Goodness!
 
Been married 23 years, so I guess, by definition, she is. Can't remember what my "type" was 25 years ago. :p
 
My husband has some of traits I call "my Type" He has blonde hair & blue eyes. He is tall 6"3 & thin 185lbs. Not real muscular but can eat whatever he wants & not gain an ounce!! (SORE SPOT...CAN U TELL!?!?!) He is outgoing, a true gentleman, and so sweet. He can be a homebody...if I let him!

I used to go for..blonde, blue eyes, athletic build, shorter/stockier,someone that likes to work out & go out & socialize.

So he has a lot of the qualities. But most importantly he makes me feel good about me & makes me a better person. I will "Always be his Princess" (hence the name)

:blush: :lovestruc :love1: :love2: :love: :cloud9:

What an insanely great memory some of these DISers have. :)
We are on break, as law school plus my job (lots of travel) mean that we were basically never seeing each other! He remains one of the best guys I've ever met, so we'll see what happens. In the meanwhile, this being asked out on dates, and going, thing is really a riot. I had no idea. Should be the source of some good stories in the coming months.
 
Nope...I dated primarily dark haired jock types, "guy's guys" who were really into sports and hung out with other cute guys. But DH is totally opposite from anyone I've ever dated. Like one above poster said, he's more like my dad...isn't that weird?

He knows it, too. He calls all my exes "arm candy" and can pick out guys I think are attractive from 30 paces. I tell him he's silly and he's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
 
I'd have to say that he is 90% my type. There is one little area, where we are "off," but I won't go into that here. ;)

He's sweet, dependable, hard-working, responsible, lighthearted, generous, has beautiful eyes, and a fine rear end. Works for me!
 
I used to love dark hair, blue eyes, shortish with no neck (wrestler type jock).

I married a 6'2", blue eyed, red head.

I guess I had to grow into my type---- cause DH is the most gorgeous sexy man (inside and out) I've ever known!:teeth:
 
Nope. I'm a Virgo.

Virgo is the only zodiacal sign represented by a female. It is sometimes thought of as a potentially creative girl, delicately lovely; sometimes as a somewhat older woman, intelligent but rather pedantic and spinsterish. The latter impression is sometimes confirmed by the Virgoan preciseness, refinement, fastidious love of cleanliness, hygiene and good order, conventionality and aristocratic attitude of reserve. They are usually observant, shrewd, critically inclined, judicious, patient, practical supporters of the status quo, and tend toward conservatism in all departments of life. On the surface they are emotionally cold, and sometimes this goes deeper, for their habit of suppressing their natural kindness may in the end cause it to atrophy, with the result that they shrink from committing themselves to friendship, make few relationships, and those they do make they are careful to keep superficial.

But the outward lack of feeling may, in some individuals born under this sign, conceal too much emotion, to which they are afraid of giving way because they do not trust others, nor do they have confidence in themselves and their judgments. This is because they are conscious of certain shortcomings in themselves of worldliness, of practicality, of sophistication and of outgoingness. So they bring the art of self concealment to a high pitch, hiding their apprehensiveness about themselves and their often considerable sympathy with other people under a mantle of matter-of-factness and undemonstrative, quiet reserve. They are still waters that run deep. Yet in their unassuming, outwardly cheerful and agreeable fashion, they can be sensible, discreet, well spoken, wise and witty, with a good understanding of other people's problems which they can tackle with a practicality not always evident in their own personal relationships.

Both sexes have considerable charm and dignity, which make some male Virgoans appear effeminate when they are not. In marriage they can be genuinely affectionate, making good spouses and parents, but their love making is a perfection of technique rather than the expression of desire, and they must be careful not to mate with a partner whose sex drive requires a passion they cannot match.

They are intellectually enquiring, methodical and logical, studious and teachable. They combine mental ingenuity with the ability to produce a clear analysis of the most complicated problems. They have an excellent eye for detail but they may be so meticulous that they neglect larger issues. Also, although they are realists, they may slow down projects by being too exact. They are practical with their hands, good technicians and have genuine inventive talents, Thoroughness, hard work and conscientiousness are their hallmarks, and they are such perfectionists that, if things go wrong, they are easily discouraged. Because of their ability to see every angle of a many-sided question, they are unhappy with abstract theorizing. Appreciating the many different points of view as they do, they find philosophical concepts difficult, and they vacillate and have no confidence in any conclusions at which they arrive.

He's a Saggitarius.
Sagittarians have a positive outlook on life, are full of enterprise, energy, versatility, adventurousness and eagerness to extend experience beyond the physically familiar. They enjoy travelling and exploration, the more so because their minds are constantly open to new dimensions of thought. They are basically ambitious and optimistic, and continue to be so even when their hopes are dashed. Their strongly idealistic natures can also suffer many disappointments without being affected. They are honorable, honest, trustworthy, truthful, generous and sincere, with a passion for justice. They are usually on the side of the underdog in society they will fight for any cause they believe to be just, and are prepared to be rebellious. They balance loyalty with independence.

Sagittarians are usually modest and are often religious, with a strong sense of morality, though they tend to overemphasize the ethical codes they follow and worship beliefs about God rather than God Himself. This means that, negatively, they regard rigid, unloving, intolerant adherence to ritual and conventional codes as more important than the truths they symbolize or embody. They sometimes pay lip service to religions and political parties in which they have ceased to believe because the outward forms satisfy them, yet they may not hesitate to switch allegiance in politics or change their system of belief if they see personal advantage to themselves in doing so.

They have both profound and widely ranging minds, equipped with foresight and good judgement, and they can be witty conversationalists. They love to initiate new projects (they make excellent researchers) and have an urge to understand conceptions that are new to them. they think rapidly, are intuitive and often original, but are better at adapting than inventing and are at their best when working with colleagues of other types of character that compliment their own. They are strong-willed and good at organizing, a combination that gives them the ability to bring any project they undertake to a successful conclusion. Their generosity can be balanced by their extreme care at handling their resources.

Sagittarians are ardent, sincere and straightforward in love, normally conventional and in control of their sexual natures. Yet if thwarted, they may easily allow their failure to embitter their whole lives or they may revenge themselves upon the opposite sex by becoming cynically promiscuous. They are more apt then the average to make an uncongenial alliance. If their marriages are successful, they will be faithful spouses and indulgent parents; but their innate restlessness will inspire them to use even the most satisfying ménage as a base from which to set out on their travels. They need to fell free and are often faced with the choice of allowing their careers to take over their lives at the expense of the love of their spouse and family. Sagittarian women are the counterparts of their men; even if they have no career to rival their love, they find it difficult to express affection and may run the risk of being thought frigid.

We're not supposed to be the most compatible of signs. Even in Chinese we don't go together. I'm a Horse and he's a Rabbit. We share a compatibility of 5 on a scale of one to ten. :-/

Oh well...*shrugs*who needs that stuff anyway,right? :D

TOV
 
Not even remotely. I like(d) tall and blonde, well built, etc. (Though I've been known to have a thing for redheads...) DH is only 2 inches taller than me, dark hair, etc. Not at all what I would have picked physically. Though, after marrying him, I've found myself leaning more toward guys who look like him for my crush. (Celebrity crushes, not real ones, people!)

Personality wise, we're completely opposites. Literally, we did Myers Briggs tests early on in our relationships and we're on opposite sides of the spectrum. However, we get along marvelously.
 
Nope. I used to like two types of guys (and dated both), either the GQ corporate lawyer type, or the nerdy guy with the plaid pants.
My DH is neither. He's a construction worker. The total Opposite of anyone I had ever dated or been attracted to. We are total opposites in many other ways as well. But I love him with all my heart!
