Has the "type" of person you are attracted to ever changed while you were an adult?

What are some examples?

Thanks

I currently find myself attracted to someone that at least physically is the polar opposite of what I spent the past 35 years with. Maybe I'm just lonely for companionship, and daydreaming...

I don't know. I'll get back to you when I figure it out.

Not really.... but my "type" isn't all that specific.

I understand. Because I have a lot of respect for couples who have remained married for decades. They are committed to making their relationship work and don't worry about other "types" that might be out there.

Contrast to someone who is on their third or fourth marriage because they can't seem to find their exact "type".

Psychically for the most part no. But like personality matters way more to me.

Looking back my first GF was A HORRIBLE person lol. But she had big boobs and put out.

For a long term relationship? No. I had looser criteria when I dated more casually. I had a type back then, but I was more willing to meet and date outside it when I was just getting back into and exploring the dating scene.

I dont think people marry "types". They instead marry individuals. Or, at least they should marry the person and not "types". Maybe that is why they are on marriage 3 or 4. I can totally understand being attracted to a certain type (especially in terms of the physical appearance), but to make a relationship (or marriage) work, there has to be more.

Nope. Not really. But I have a very wide range of what I find attractive - blonde, brunette, Asian, Persian, Latina, Green eyes, blue eyes, hazel eyes, dark eyes, tall, short, sexy curvy body (i.e., Pre-baby Kim Kardashian or 1990s J-Lo), fit/athletic body (Crossfit type woman like Annie Thorsdottir, Christmas Abbot, Camille Leblanc-Bassinet), yoga type body (Kino MacGregor, Kathryn Budig, etc.) or like Juliana Semenova in the below video:

So, I dont think my "type" in terms of what I find physically attractive will ever change. But I can understand how some people will change as they get older (i.e., more desperate) so they lessen what they want so as to cast a wider net in hopes of finding someone.

Great post! I think your "type" is based on the qualities that you as an individual lack. The goal for many, is to be complimentary to each other. Based off that, I would probably end up someone similar to my husband if I ever got rid of him. But, I am attracted to people like myself too. In fact, variety is very appealing. Novelty! But if the goal is to be with someone that will last and build a life with, I would definitely go with someone that is complimentary to me. That person should make your life easier.
