My type is more personality based. It depends more on the chemistry than the look for me.
Me too. I used to like a particular look in high school, but I have since realized that I prefer personality/attitude to looks so now the common denominator of my bf's is how they treat me.

I also agree with whoever said less likely to break up with someone of your type if there are problems. Of course, I'm probably just justifying my specific taste.
You don't have to listen to your friends. I mean, they're doing a good job as friends. If all you ordered at restaurants is steak, I'd expect your friends to ask you to try out other food in the menu. But if you're happy just having steak all the time, I cant blame you
I can be spontaneous, but I like predictability most of the time.
I'm asking because as I got to know my SO better, I realized I am so not his type.
So why does he even like me?
For a mental image, let's say in style only (I think both are gorgeous, btw)...
his type would be Avril Lavgine - kinda rocker chic, almost goth, blacks, leather, shirts, sneakers, tattoos, silvers, I think he even prefers short hair
while I would be Taylor Swift - long hair, ruffles and dresses, boots/heels, red lipstick, golds and pinks
I learned this from the women that interest him. He follows tattooed, BDSM looking girls on Facebook and Instagram. I hate that style.
On a casual day, he'd want me to wear a tee and sneakers. My casual means a casual dress and sandals.
I only wear sneakers to the gym. He bought hiking/water shoes for me to wear at the mall or when we go out. I was hesitant at first, but I have been wearing them (they're so comfy!).
We once argued about my clothes when we he had a game before a party we were going to. I dressed for the party, of course. He wanted me to dress for the game. I was like, your game is just a two-hour stopover, the party is our real event!
He's left me alone since, and I have tried to dress more casually for him. Now I really miss dresses, skirts, sandals and heels!
Most guys I know that have a particular type only date women like that. My own type of guy is the strong, silent type. It doesn't matter if he's a bad boy, jock, geek, musician, yuppie.
When I look at the type of women my bf likes, I think "What is he even doing with a girlfriend like me?"
And then there's that nagging thought... What if a girl more "his type" comes along?
So the title of this thread...
Maybe for the same reasons why you are asking these questions? He probably digs you, because of who you are and your curious nature on top of being attracted to you? What guy doesn't like a girl he adores?

Give yourself some credit here, yah!
Awww... Thanks Kat! That is reassuring. I just like to wonder about people and their likes. I like to relate their interests to their personalities.

That's great you both look beyond looks But doesn't a particular look typically mean a particular personality? I mean stereotypes are not always accurate, but they are most of the time right?
So if you want a certain look, it means you like a certain personality.
To be totally honest, what scares me is what if my bf is into BDSM stuff because he is attracted to girls who look like that. That is something he will never get from me. BDSM is an absolute deal breaker.
My idea of making love is passionate (like Original Sin--I love the Angelina and Antonio's bed scene), mostly flirty, sometimes solemn, sometimes furious, often conservative (I only appreciate no more than five positions).
Nothing dirty, nothing kinky. The only pleasurable pain I want to feel in the bedroom is his wood in me after we've gone two or more days without.
On a sadder note, I am afraid he might crave those BDSM stuff he likes and act on those cravings with someone else.
I asked to watch the porn he has in his hard drive once. I skipped all of it because all women were in leather, had tattoos and piercings... Such a turnoff for me. Dont mean to offend anyone here, but I just felt disgusted, not turned on

At best, there might be a small correlation between interests and "look." But personality, not so much in my experience. Actions and words speak louder than appearance.
BSDM has no corresponding look. I have met bankers, preppies, punks, goths, hip hoppers etc all into it.
My type tends to be guys who combine practical skills (hunting, mechanics, carpentry, etc.) with significant intelligence and a lack of machismo. These kinds of guys tend to like me back. I'm willing to date outside my type, but it never seems to go anywhere.
