OP- I could surely go for Earthy Women. Just so happen many of the most amazing women I've encountered Physically were "Earthy". If you appear amazing with little effort imagine how said woman shall look worked-over.

For the record Female Marines with just a simple Bun take the cake everytime.

They're filtered through the individual, who does not significantly deviate from what s/he knows, and then the stereotypes are targeted at other individuals.

It never seems to work out. This is what we continually see with your attempts to pigeonhole via stereotypes. Isn't that kind of interesting? I think it is. In the end it tells me, to reiterate what I've said in other threads, that people are way more complex than what stereotypes permit. That makes sense because, based on the definition, stereotypes are "simplified conceptions of groups based on some prior assumptions". What I see folk do here is apply these simplified conceptions rather carelessly. It's the beginning and the end and that's wanting imo.

I'm not very PC. Stereotypes are awesome indicators of generalities... you just can't apply them to individuals or use them as guidelines to life.

No, it isn't about guidelines for life. This thread is about attraction and appropriately under "Relationships." If you use stereotypes, and a quick study, to make judgments about who you are, or are not, attracted to, then it just means you are rationing your resources - time and money. This applies to women as well. Could you see a Dallas debutante with a mountain man? It ain't the norm. If, per the "sniff test," she's not attracted to him and doesn't want to know anything about him, that's her prerogative. People generally know in a nanosecond if they're attracted to someone.

Well, where exactly would the Dallas debutante come across the mountain man? They probably would not cross paths. So, I don't see how that analogy really applies here. No, there is something else going on.

Well, I always get to know someone before making the final judgement.

I have found connections with women who range from ultra-conservative business women to earthy soccer moms. I will allow the same for romantic relationships. Sure, some will have much less a chance then others, but I LIKE getting to know people as individuals.

He is demographically and personally dissimilar to the Dallas debutante. She's the "suit" and he's "earthier," in this case. Ok, how about the guy who works in the hipster part of Dallas, wherever that may be, doing tattoos or piercings?

Texas girls do go to the Intermountain West to ski.

First part, that is commendable of you.

Second part, most people don't - and there's nothing wrong with that.

I dress like a conservative but I'm a flower child through and through. You don't have to walk around wearing birkenstocks and long skirts to be "earthy". My partner and I are very compatible although it took him a little getting use to my full moon rituals and pagan ways...

She's the suit and he's the earthy guy according to you. Others will not agree with you because, as has been clearly pointed out in this thread, "Earthy" runs the gamut way past your perceptions.

You're really getting good at grasping at straws. Do you really think you're going to find a mountain man at a ski resort? How weird.

As far as the hipster goes, I know there will be stereotypes. He may or may not fit the bill. We have a lot of that here, hipster type people given all the universities. Take a look at Burning Man, an event that would probably horrify you lol. That population is so professionally diverse. You name it, they got it.
