Do you have a "type?" Have most of the people you've been with shared a common trait?
I dated a lot of "class clowns," most were creative types (minus my husband), and the majority were tall. Also, as I was a headstrong personality when I was younger, I tended towards more laid back people.
You?
First wife: flirted with hypomania. Second wife: off the rails ADHD. Third wife had deep dark clinical depression...so I guess its fair to say I attracted women who weren't mentally centered. To be fair though, when I met these women I had an undiagnosed mood disorder working its magic in the background myself.
For me I always seem to date the crazy girls. And I enjoy that. People who don’t think like everyone else are the best
the creative type appeals to me; i just have to let go of the idea that there is anything cute about cowards.
I like intelligent women who can carry on a good conversation. I've never liked bimbos at all, and I tend to like younger women these days but have had both. 38 to 55 is a good age range for me, but I've seen a lot of great women 65 plus. I have a FB girlfriend who is 54 and we talk 4 hours on the phone sometimes but I doubt anything serious will become of it. You never know.
I love to stay in my heels, so I prefer taller.
With a kind heart.
My dating patern is mostly not dating.
I am attracted to women who are wicked smart, funny, open-minded and compassionate.
Now... whether or not they are attracted to me is a whole other story.
They were all crazy. Thats all I can say. I seem to be a crazy magnet.
Loud, brash, funny bears. Toss in a brain and a smidgen of nerd and I'm smitten.
Sparse. Living near the Bible-crotch (Oklahoma is called the buckle of the Bible belt, so Dallas/Fort Worth must be near the crotch), plus being very picky because I have made bad decisions regarding who I have dated in the past leads me to be cautious about who I spend time with.
In the past, seeking strong, independent women I have ended up with a few strongly narcissist choices who did a number on my trust, as well as some who were surprisingly insecure. I am working on better choices.
Moving forward, I can only be with someone who is very secure (emotionally, at least), strong, independent, creative, intelligent, and has a wicked sense of humor to match mine. That should be easy enough, right?
Can a nonexistent thing have a pattern? Maybe void. Or far-off stars. I dunno. I dated an astrophysics student for ten years.
Yes. It actually annoys me. I tend to be attracted to musicians or chefs, creative and traditionally non committal types, and then get irritated by their flaky dispositions or hesitancy to open up. I'm not monogamous, and don't have a ton of expectations, but I do need to truly connect or I am not just satisfied.
Well, you get good food and music! I write books, make apple trees, and have been involved in civic action.
@lucydaniels. its called a connection.
About all I can say is that they were all female. That’s about the only quality they all share.
