Would you date someone who isn't your physical type?

Question

Miristheiss · Accepted Answer

Well, I can't say. I don't really have a "type" I like tall girls, short girls, all hair colors, all shapes... thin, average, curvy, thick, small chested, full chested... I just usually have to find them attractive. They must be somewhat fit. The only "not my type" there is (physically) is to be fat or obese and unhealthy. But if that were the case I wouldn't be attracted to her.

Outside of overweight I don't have a type. Well, I also have always avoided girls with piercings in odd places and tattoos. My fiancé has no tats and the only piercings she has are her ear lobes.

Only if she can turn me on and checks enough other boxes. I want to be sexually attracted to my partner. The same way I won't fake emotions, I'm not going to fake feeling attracted to someone. Doesn't make for a good relationship.

rhiannonmurat · Accepted Answer

He does not have to be a 10/10 in looks for me to consider dating him

but I at least want to find the guy I am dating physically attractive on some level.

If I do not find a guy physically attractive at all I would not date him

Alice2398 · Accepted Answer

Yes, my type on paper is tall, dark and handsome but looks is not too important, it more important to have a connection.

Pinay_ako · Answer

Sometimes I shock myself but I don't really know he's my type until I am into him

Iwant2kno · Answer

I’m really open to that because most likely, I’d be interested in knowing his mind and his heart.

Logorithim · Answer

Unless she is too heavy, yeah.

sonnysunshine · Answer

You can’t fall in love with someone you are not physically attracted to. I’m not going to fall in love with a morbidly obese women. You can push all the body “positivity” you want but it will not, can not happen. I sure as hell wouldn’t expect a supermodel to fall in love with me if I was morbidly obese.

My new girlfriend is tall and skinny. She has small breasts and bit of pouch stomach. Does she have a dream girl with her physique? No. But it’s good enough for me.

I still remember my overweight female roommate getting jealous over my skinny ex girlfriend years ago. She thought that being rude to her and me was a way to make herself feel better. She just made herself look even more like shit. I have no sympathy for fat women who try to blame everything but themselves for not having a handsome man.

JoyISok3 · Answer

I guess I could but I won’t. I’m a firm believe that if you have to convince yourself to like someone, you’re never really gonna like them and it’s a matter of time until you leave them or meet someone who is your type. So why waste your time with someone who isn’t your type. If they’re cool, they can be my friend.

justsomeperson2u · Answer

I don't have a physical type. As long as we have similar interests, they aren't allergic to cats or dogs (I have both, its for their safety), and we get along I wilk give someone a chance. How they look doesn't play into it at all. I've gone out with men who were short and skinny and also gone out with men who were tall and large. Personality means more. Although, physical attraction does have to play a part at some point, but there isn't a certain look I'm more attracted to.

TripleAce · Answer

Probably not because i make love with my eyes
Its like saying. Will you continously eat food that tastes good but look like poop?
Most wouldn't even if it tastes good cause it looks like shit lol

Food has to look good to taste good, in a way
Same with wifey. She has to look pleasing to my eyes to taste good 😛

Nobodyx · Answer

Yeah and I am right now.
I'm attracted to guys who are a little heavier but my boyfriend at the moment is really skinny.
But he does have brown hair and green eyes what I really love.

I don't need to date someone who's not my type. If or personalities just work great together why not.

Jjpayne · Answer

It depends on who it was, I would say cuteness of face and personality is important other than that, physical type can differ for me.

TheBootyChest · Answer

Tricky question. I have dated people not my type all my life.  But now I am looking for someone my type. And now it's very hard to find someone to ask out.

TadCurious · Answer

I don't really have any one type when it comes to appearance. Women are physically attractive to me in a really wide variety of ways. If I do have a type it has to do with character and personality.

Grond21 · Answer

The minimum is that I have to find them physically attractive. But I am very open to the possibility that I will like someone who is not my normal type, and in that case I am sure I would be physically attracted to them

MackToday · Answer

If they were comparable to me I would. I don't typically get involved with women that are pretty since I am not and I feel they should get the joy out of their looks that life has given them.

menina · Answer

B. Appearance is very important to me, but if he has some features that I like, then I might give him a chance.

cassandraa · Answer

As long as there is some attraction to their body type it shouldn't matter if they have a good personality

GuidoThePizzaMaker · Answer

To be honest as long as a woman isn't insanely tall or overweight I dont have a problem with it I would date any woman who is between 5' 110lbs -> 6' 180lbs

SirRexington · Answer

I don't really have a physical type. Im pretty much attracted to any girl as long as she isn't a blubbering land whale, has cartoonish proportions or is a twig.

Lance1965 · Answer

They don't have to be my exact type, but they should at least have some physical attributes that I like.

Most people have a dating check-list and at least half of those boxes would have to be ticked for me to consider dating them.

lernulo · Answer

In fact, I don't have a physical type (almost all my limits are on the personality type and combos with it too) , when a girl I'm dating asks for my physical type I just describe her, if she is a friend I say let's keep it a secret.

Iron_Man · Answer

I know who I want to date on gag a Latina girl from Cali

Sarah-Luna · Answer

I would. But i do have a bit of limit as to what i find attractive so anything up to that i guess

Kurαȷ · Answer

As long as they posses the "fit and thin" type, I'm not picky about the rest otherwise.

StephenCF · Answer

I’ve been open to it with one or two girls in the past who were interested in me if not the other way around, but nowadays, I resist now that my standards have been raised with improved self-esteem

abc3643 · Answer

I did and I discovered that I was rather happy! It changed me and opened my mind forever.

sawno · Answer

Mixture of B and C, i am willing to compromise but ultimately i still need to be attracted to them.

HomoFuge · Answer

As long as they aren’t morbidly obese, I would date them if I liked their personality.

Sholmes80 · Answer

Yes, I fell for someone who wasn't my physical type

GFNimbuscloud · Answer

I'm a sapiosexual. I'm attracted to smart people... so no.

Mark_C · Answer

Probably not. But then again my "type" runs quite a range.

RolandCuthbert · Answer

I have several times. The funny thing is now I am on the other end of that story.

Mymy2458 · Answer

They have to at least be more fit then me and be average in looks.

VaIiant · Answer

I mean, yeah. As long as they're taller then me, decent looking, and not fat, we're in the clear.

JimmyInSpace · Answer

Well my type is vegan and that not optional. But body wise, yeah I'm not picky. Just healthy weight and fun to be with.

Drumlin2001 · Answer

There has to be something. But more important is a decent personality

Thatsamazing · Answer

I only have one physical "type"-- hot/pretty. If she's hot/pretty, I'll date or fuck her. If she's not, I won't. Very simple.

LittleRedKat · Answer

Yah I was about to but then what we were looking for in a relationship didn't match.

chunlilovesvega · Answer

if he has nice lips and nice hands and isn't so short and isn't so thin/skinny, yes.

Scarecrow13 · Answer

Yes. I have a physical type but find myself attracted to women who don't fit it because their personality overshadows it.

MrBurke · Answer

Seeing as my type is summed up in three points which are Point 1) not obese  Point 2) not bat shit crazy  Point 3) single That would be a no. Unless I'm just getting it confused with my standards

Genie23 · Answer

I would and I have. :)

JakobHiebert71 · Answer

Absolutely i would. I have a motto, that there is no such thing as a ugly person. So yeah I would.

dannyjett · Answer

As long as they take care of themselves somewhat then yes

Anonymous · Answer

No, because both partners need ample sexual attraction for a relationship to work for me.

Dchrls78104 · Answer

No. I'm not attracted to big girls or girls that are shorter than, say, 5'0".

I don't have a physical type... as long as they are age appropriate

YHL6965 · Answer

I still want at least some degree of physical attraction.

Dolemite510 · Answer

Possibly, unless she was a weirdo that ate raw dogs or something 😛😂

Smegskull · Answer

No one is a cartoon character so I would kind of have to if I wanted a relationship.
