Types

by

Most people I know have a “type� of person they tend to date: the jock, the comedian, the blonde bombshell, the bohemian, the morose loner.

Recently, I came to the realization that I too have a type. I took a quick inventory of the men I’ve dated and have found that for the most part, they are pretty intelligent individuals—that, or they’re musicians… or both.

Four were National Merit Scholars, one a Truman Scholar, all with full tuition scholarships to their university of choice. Two are currently riding out their law/grad school roller-coasters at Ivy League schools.

On the other hand, I’ve dated five guitarists, two pianists, and two guys even composed their own songs. Those are really the only things they collectively have in common… music and IQ.

I was interested to see what other types are out there. I decided to check out http://www.askmen.com/dating/heidi_100/141_dating_girl.html for the low down on types of men to steer clear of… and for the men, a lighter albeit more ridiculous “10 Types of Women to Avoid� at http://inventorspot.com/dolls_to_avoid

Maybe my “type� isn’t so cut and dry—or perhaps I don’t have one at all. Enjoy!

About Dating Outlook

What's not to like about dating? Plenty. The awkwardness, the drama and starting all over again (and again...) until we find that special someone. However, there are some pretty great things about dating and if nothing else, hopefully you meet some great people along the way. Stick around for some not so humble opinions, reflections and thoughts about the good, the bad and the downright ridiculous woes of dating.
