Did you marry/commit to a different person type than...? (dating, wife)

Did you marry/commit to a different person type than your dating history type?

Accident? or
On purpose?

[Rcm58]

I did but its not like I said to my self I'm going to marry a different type, it wasn't an accident nor premeditated by any means. The only thing I knew from the start was that I wasn't attracted to housewife type women. Can't say why really, my grandmother I respected a great deal, canned her garden every year, cooked cleaned, I thought the world of her but she was my grandmother.
I dated party girls, models, fun types that liked to go all the time and I dated one girl that was going through nursing school. My wife was I guess a cross between all of them with much more ambition than any of them. She didn't drink but loved the night life, worked on a cruise ship, very outgoing, had a few beauty contests under her belt but was too brainy to be satisfied with that.
I guess I somehow knew that the women I dated before her were going no where or were going in a direction I wasn't interested in for the long haul.

Clue me in Pitt, what the heck is Ken crotch? I must know.

I married 2/3s of the men I dated, so I dunno on the poll. Both personalities are represented in the movie "Sideways", minus the wine guzzling. Hilarious movie.

The guys I typically dated were less responsible and really crazy spontaneous types.....It was a blast at the time and I didn't do this intentionally but when I met my now hubby.....I knew he was the type of guy I wanted to settle down with and have a family with.

I want to know about Ken crotch, too. What is it? Is this Barbie's Ken we're talking about? The suspense is killing me.

[yankeegirl313]

Yep, I did. (smirking about Ken Crotch..) WTH?? LOL

Yes. My norm was blonde hair, blue eyes, average height, and someone shy and reserved.

Then about 3 and 1/2 years ago I went to buy a car and fell in love with the sales guy. He is about 4 yrs younger than me, 6' 4" and about 230 lbs, black hair and green eyes. Also very arrogant and controlling. I love him very much but regret ever meeting him right now.

Stay with what you're used to is my new motto.

I always went out with the dark-haired moody types, but redeemed myself by marrying a blonde-haired, blue-eyed non-moody cheerful type!

My husband and I are complete opposites. It wasn't an issue early on, but it's an issue now.
