Few years ago, a male friend commented that I seemed to go for the "exotic" type. I wasn't sure what he meant, and he pointed out there was always something really "Different" about the men he saw me out with for more than a few dates.

Huh.

My type tends to be smart and funny (usually sarcastic wit) and has to be kind and not mean. Happy and optimistic are important too.

Staying fit is important. I don't mean being Mr. Muscle Man but definitely someone that exercises and takes care of himself.

A bit of confidence is nice too
I also go for smart and funny--with lots of confidence!

The fit part is nice, but not necessarily part of my type--as long as he keeps active with some kind of sport/exercise or activity, I don't mind a little extra around the middle.

My type...he is intelligent, witty, happy, and optimistic. He's a man who is confident and comfortable with who he is, and while he doesn't need another person to make him complete, he still wants and recognizes the value of a relationship that could lead to something more. He has a good and kind heart and this emanates from him in the things that he chooses to do.

I don't have a physical type although I prefer them to be not too tall.

For a long time I thought that my type:
  1. Liked a bit of geology (because then we could travel around to visit hot springs and waterfalls and such together).
  2. Were good at their job no matter what the job was (because it shows self respect)
  3. Were not bar shy, they would happily stand their round without prompting (because it's embarrassing to be with someone who thinks the world owes them a favour).
As a selection criterion it was a bit unwieldy. Then a much simpler definition of my type just came along one day.

My type is Brian the Dog from Family Guy.

LOL! Is that someone who thinks the world owes him a favour, or a drink!

You post reminded me of a couple of people I have met in my life that I quickly grew to dread going out with as a group since the pool of money on the table would always come up a bit short with them there. I can't stand people who think they're night out should be subsidized by their "friends".

What is my type??

Interesting...I am not sure what has been the common factor in all the people I dated. I think the common thing is sincerity. As long as they are always who they think they are, I have enjoyed them. There is a certain confidence and honesty that comes with that that I find mighty sexy, even when what we want is not the same thing.

They are not overweight... just because I'm pretty thin... I always feel like have to apologize for that...

They are middle of the road or lean to the left politically and if they were born more than once our conversation is pretty short... Other than that we need to be able to have both silly and interesting conversation...

Interesting question. If I was to characterise "my type" it would be my exes. Common denominators are pretty, smart and strong willed. I sometimes wish for more docile. I guess I'd be board. But just sometimes!

The type that throw themselves into the moment, all or nothing types that hold nothing back. Spontaneous and ready for anything. Not afraid to find what's under the bed.
