Believe me. It happens. I don't get the point either, other than the fact that it gets them an audience. Insist on a pic, PTC.

Uh what kind of site are we talking about here?

I have found that I attract type A women. I get bored with the type B's. BUT with that said if they are too heavy on the Type A we butt heads! It also annoys me with how impatient and aggresive they can be. Like waiting in a line at a store. My gf will get irritated, aggressive and often will have no patience and will leave without buying the item. I am like so what, are we in a rush? Driving is the same, she feels the need to bulldoze everyone out of her way and cuss and get upset... I think I am a little of both A and B and I think I would mesh well with someone the same.

I do think that someone who is a type A would be better off with a type B then two type A's. But two type B's could be better together, if nothing it would be very boring and calm of a relationship!

Type A personality = ego.

Somebody who lets their fulfillment of their ego drive themselves. Usually by taking advantage of and stamping on everybody else. No wonder they are draining people. As long as they get what they want nothing matters. And of course, the flip side of the coin of this "ego" - is the aggressiveness, when things don't actually go their way.

There is a peaceful loving empathic human soul somewhere down there screaming to get out. But these types have no time for what they consider to be "weakness", and will never get truly fulfilling relationships, unless their lover basically plays their games and gives them what they want.

I prefer some balance in a S.O. A combination of A and B types (with more emphasis on B) as opposed to just one or the other.

I'm with the others who say you should get a photo first. Not only that, but make sure it's a RECENT photo, not one from 10 years ago.

There is an AB category and I think it's a balance of the two.

I dated a Type A person once. Us being so different was part of the attraction. But after a while, you feel like you can't keep up. You also start to resent the person because you feel like things are lopsided. Their needs seem to come first. You'd think a Type A and a Type B would balance would one another. But true balance only happens if you meet somewhere in the middle, meaning you both rub off on each other. But the Type A has a hard time doing that.

That's not true of a Type A personality. They usually adapt to work and do very well because everything is a 'competition' and people are rivals.

The type a personality is a major turn off. It's like a person's personalty reeks of spoiled cheese and at the core is nothingness. I know one when I see and smell one and try to avoid.

I think life is about adapting to constant change, and sometimes these people have major difficulty adapting to changes in work, status, family, health, etc. Plus I'd be concerned with an individual like that trying to exert control over me, which seems to be a recurring issue.
