I have finally broken my spell, but there was a while there when I seemed to date the same type of guy over and over again, even though I knew they were not good for me. They were all Leos with very strong personalities, slightly cocky, and they all loved to played games. I think everyone has a "type" of guy they like, so what I want to know is, do you tend to date the same type of guy over and over again?

All my boyfriends bar 1 when i was younger look similar.
Tall, tanned, balkan/european, dark hair, dark or green (never blue eyes), high cheekbones.
I have such narcissistic taste.. i always go for men who could be the male me! heheh
1Forget having a type..im vain!
I went from an out-going party guy in high school to the exact opposite in university, and now I'm moving towards the guy that looks like she should be a drug dealer instead of a 4 year honors English student with grad school and doctorate ambitions.
2I've dated a WIDE variety of guys...
, back to bad boys haha
3From laid back "hippie" dudes, to partiers, to bad boys, to outdoor-sy guys, to geeks
It's great though, you learn lots from each guy and get to experiament with what works best for you
I only date bad boy musicians with lots of tattoos and body mods... and only if they can play an instrument...always have, always will
4Yes and No! I tend to date Asian guys... I guess we have more in common and I meet guys through my social networks and most of my social network consists of Asians. BUUUUT... every guy I've dated has been completely different! I like the one I'm with now though.
A good
balance.
5pumpkin queen.. they say that people are narcissitic creatures by nature and are attracted to those that physically look similar to them.. i never believed that but my boyfriend and my mom went to gym together recently and were mistaken for mother and son! GROSS! haha they're kinda blondish with green eyes but i dont see the resemblance! any way i don't discriminate "label" wise.. [ex. jock, artist, preppy etc] bc i think its stupid to limit myself. however personality wise i generally attract alpha-male asshole-ish types that love themselves and are control freaks, but im actually with a "nice" type now. although he is a control freak so i guess you do stick to your guns in some way or another! i feel like i do this bc those types challenge me the most [with my strong personality] so im just attracted to that..?
6Well all the guys I've ever had something with have been pretty much the same, the type where you go "WTF was I thinking?" just the next day. Oh how sad.
7Except for one, he was pretty hot and sweet.
As for liking guys I don't know ...all my friends think I always like the same type which is blonde and blue eyed. Unfortunately I always end up with the ones who aren't my type, hence the whole WTF situation.
Yeah I just made myself sound like some crazy ho, I'm not I swear.
I actually have pretty high standards, to go with my inferiority issues so I always end up with people who are beyond beneath me character wise and looks wise.
Ha! I used to be attracted to any man that was different from the men i was used to seeing. You know that "thug" types. I hate those type of men. I like a cool calm collected guy. I'm definately in love with men whom dress right out of a GQ mag. Yes....That's something I would say "I Do" to.
8This really isn't a type, but more of an oddity.
I've dated 3 guys seriously in my life - Jeff, Jared, and John. All three have middle names that start with the letter M and 2 of the 3 have last names that start with P. All three are Catholic. 2 of the 3 were youngest children. 2 out of 3 love 80's hair bands and are addicted to ESPN.
As for a type though - always dark haired, always light eyed, usually played and like sports, enjoy music, outgoing, life of the party kinda people. And I married someone who fits these characteristics!
9i also like to switch it up!.. you learn alot from different guys!! but im really lovin the current guy im with.. i think i plan on stickin with him
10I have dated a decent variety of men.
I am soul mates with all of the deep music-loving, artsy, slightly-bad boys, but I love, respect, and cohabit well with the shier, stable, geeky type.
All of them have been atheletic in some form or another, even the music-loving artsy ones, oddly enough.
The main similarity between all of them would probably be body type. I like 'em tall and lean.
11Married Now, but when i dated i didnt discriminate. Older, younger...the ONLY "type" i wouldnt date was shorter than me. couldnt do it
12Oh no.
I thought I had a type, and I only dated older wealthy men. My last boyfriend was 11 years older, had a house and his own company, bought me everything BUT was a horrible boyfriend!
I took a chance and started dating Kyle over a year ago and the rest is history and I love him! He is my age, we go to the same school, he drives a crappy car but is so motivated to do well. Hes so perfect for me!
13Even when I try to date against type... I'm always introduced back into my type. Geez.
14i have a large array of past significant others. the first was a soccer player and big jock, but that was in high school, and who has a type in high school? anyway, the second, early in college, was a guitar-playing hippie who liked to read old novels (i met him in a class about novels!) and was really into his music. that didn't last because he became too whiny. then there was the actual artist, who was a painter and printmaker, who lasted a long time. my current guy is a football obsessed chef, by far the 'manliest' guy i've ever dated, and i wish i would have dated guys like that earlier.
15One of my brothers told me once after meeting a new boyfriend: "Well, we certainly can't accuse you of having a type!"
All of my boyfriends have been very different. Variety is definitely the spice of life.
16It's funny...all of the guys that I have been with had big noses. Seriously! Even my husband has a big schnozz. I guess I'm more of the "prominant features" type of gal...ya know, the men that don't really look attractive at first, but as you get to know them...they get hot!
17I think that dating the same type is like going around in circles. Monotony scares me.
18I used to always go for the same type of guys, but after a few failed and disappointing relationships, I promised myself I'd start paying attention to guys I would have never paid attention to before. Now, I'm dating this guy who when I first met him I wasn't too interested in, but when I opened my mind and gave him a chance, he turned out to be amazing! I've never been so crazy about anybody in my entire life! Everyone needs to keep an open mind if you always find yourself stuck with the same "type" and it hasn't gotten you anywhere--they might surprise you!
19I have dated the same kind of guy since I was 16. But to be fair, I have always been in a relationship. I have never really dated per say.
I hope that someday I can date someone new and different. I have always wanted to try the tall, athletic, blonde, smart fellow.
20I definitely have a type that make me happy.
21I'm a sucker for curly hair and glasses. It just happens that way.
22I have a certain type that I am very attracted to: tall, dark, handsome and rugged- like Clive Owen and Gerard Butler. I have dated guys who don't fall into that category, and I find that my attraction to them fades...quickly. If there's no chemistry, it's not going to work long term!
Right now I'm in a relationship with my type, and it's going on 5 years. My longest relationship by far...Interesting, it trips me out all the time...;P
23^ Juliemyjewel. I like your type
24Amazing taste
I definitely have a type, but it has some room for variation. I tend to always be attracted to tall, fit, dark long haired, witty, and musically enhanced guys. The problem with this is most musically enhanced guys are, like most artists, broke and moody.
25K8....... I love Kat Von D...........
26my boyfriends all looked different, but their personalities were very similar. i've had old boyfriends meet each other and one met my husband and they always like each other. one time a boyfriend said "steve's a great guy, why did you ever break up with him?"
27i wouldn't say its worked yet lol but at least for a while it was a smoother relationship with less drama. of course in the end the new guy ended up with some qualities remnisent of my old type... but anyways- i'm trying!
28I've gone from dating a jock to the sweet nerd to a bad boy, so nope.
29I think I do to an extent. I like guys who are comfortable in the "male" role, so to speak. Not to the point that they ever treat me as inferior, but I like to feel like I'm protected, even if only symbolically. I like the alpha male who doesn't take himself so seriously that it's ridiculous. I dated a guy who wasn't like this at all and I wasn't really happy with the relationship so I ended it with him. Now I'm with a guy who's my preferred type and very happy!
30I have two discinct types: goth boys and geeks. They often overlap though. ^-^"
