Types... Really??
First off, ONLY the shallowest of people perscribe themselves to ONLY talking to or giving those a chance who fit their type. We all have a list of the things that we like in the opposite sex. Weather a certain hair color, height, weight, big chest, small waist, 6 pack abs, money. The problem with "types" are that they put u into a very limited space looking for people who do not exist outside of Hollywood characters.
Channing Tatum, Ryan Goesling, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sandra Bullock and Scarlett Johannson are characters who, in real life are nothing like the people they portray on the big screen. People in your area of availability are REAL people with REAL flaws, and couls never fit that mold.
There is no IDEAL person for any of us. The only TYPE u should have is simple..Not A Douche Bag! Not seeing a particular person as someone u would spend the time to get to know, could be u passing up on what could either be an epic fail or maybe, just maybe ur soulmate.
I'm sure that even in ur most perfect of days, have a number of flaws that u are insecure about. U would hate to have someone who is "your type" point them out to u or sadly worse, tell u basically u aren't good enough for them.
Who doesn't wish they were chisled out of a rock? Who doesn't wish they had perfect flowing hair, the best features and the fattest wallet to go along with it? We all do! perfection is not obtainable and none of us can fit that "type". Far too many guys and girls alike, have to pay for the mistakes of the last relationship. That makes total sense because all guys and gals are the same, and if the last one screwed u over, chances are the next one will too. Not! Who WILL screw u over is yourself! U screw yourself because.of a "type". The people that fit any of the desireables or must haves, are gonna let u down everytime because they cannot live up to ur expectations. However, if u journeyed outside the box and took a look around, u might notice that man or woman that, once u took the.time to know them, are just exactly what u have been looking for ur whole life...

So so so true! Of course everyone has a first impression - it's inevitable. Getting to know someone is the best part, as a person's personality can truly make someone seem less or more attractive. I've known many good-looking people turn into very unattractive people because their personalities suck...or the other way around. We definitely have to give others a chance - knowing someone beyond their outward appearance is the best part!
ReplyDeleteGreat post Chris. I agree that we get too caught up in "types". I personally only have one type - someone who is pleasant to be around. It's all about the connection you feel with people, because that's truly what will last long-term.
