Why do people sometimes go on to date people who look similarly or have similar features to an ex?

It happens. But the question is it necessarily an Ex? Or just the type. I mean take a look at Hull Hogan. After his divorce he dated a woman wearily similar to his ex-wife. Was he trying to replace her? Or does he just like blondes? He's blonde, all the women he's dated are blonde.. etc.

Do you think all of your preferences just go away when you break up or something?

It’s called “having a very specific type”
