Why would a guy date a girl who is not his type?

[Anonymous]

I am seeing someone who flat out admitted that I am not his type. He usually goes with someone much skinnier and smaller breasts, where as I am curvy with larger breasts. After this statement, I somehow feel very insecure and question his actions. What does this mean?

[johnmspaghetti]

Well what're you actually insecure about? Just because you're not a type doesn't mean you can't be loved. My perfect girl is redhead with green eyes, and relatively fit. My general type is again relatively fit but I'd like her to be a gamer like me. I found a woman who was Mexican with brown messy hair and eyes, over 250, and gets bored easy with games and always wants to go out.

Sometimes love isn't predicated on fitting a type, but finding enough in common to make something happen. Let yourself love him and he'll let himself love you

[coachTanthony]

Types can change.. just because that was his type doesn't mean you wont' become his new type. You can't really have a type unless you have been with other types. You might think that is your type but deep down you don't know until you have been with a variety of people. You stay sexy and confident.. don't worry about nonsense like types.

[BrittBratt2416]

A guy will do that until the girls he does want come by, he's only with the girl for either sex or not to be alone. Guys will go after the average girl cause their too scared to go after women they really want, so the settle for what they can get. If he told you that, then I would ask him why he's even speaking to you. I would stop talking to this guy cause he's wasting your time. Tell him to stop getting with girls he doesn't even like just cause he's to much of a punk to go after what he wants.

[Xoxocutekitty]

Give it 2-3 months and then come back if he's still interested. Usually it's a different trait that interested him be it physical or personality but when he's done with the trial/novelty phase, that's when you know he values you more than something shiny.

[SarahsSummer]

He’s acknowledging expanding his horizons and what he is interested in and that something about you captivated him. That said, he should have thought before he spoke. He’s kind of an idiot for saying what he did.

[Parisgirl30]

actions speak louder than words. maybe he really likes you for well YOU

[Holyguga]

Guys will say they have a type and that's bullshit. Most guys don't care as long as they like you. If he is dating you than he likes you. That comment was to say the girls he dated in the past all seemed to look one way and you look another.
To me it sounds like he chose the sexier girl over his normal "type". Don't feel insecure (I know saying that doesn't really help haha) he wants to be with you.

[Bjorn526]

I don’t know how other guys feel, but I suppose I have a type, but I don’t take it too seriously, in fact, I think if a girl is “my type” I would probably look for reasons to question my attraction than a girl who didn’t fit that criteria and be more open-minded

[BigChris]

Means you are a trial for him, also he probably meant he is happy with you/meant it as a compliment

[Asker]

That’s what I’m afraid that I am just a trial or something.

[Anonymous]

Please for the love of god tell me your name isn't Lauren?

[Asker]

Hahaha no... my name starts with E.
So you are good.

[Opinion Owner]

Thank God now I'm worried because I literally said this to my girl yesterday. Like literally the exact same thing. I didn't mean to make her feel insecure by saying it I was just being honest I have a normal type and she's not what I normally go for but she's just such an amazing person that I don't give a shit if she's not my usual type she is still beautiful. Like I love her body it's just not what I've gone for in the past. Hopefully your dude meant the same thing. Wow I didn't even think about it that way. Shit I'm going to have to talk to her about it later.

[Asker]

I’m glad you are planning on talking to her, because when my partner told me this, it literally made me doubt his intentions and why me bullshit. I hope it goes well for you.

[Opinion Owner]

Why does it make you doubt his intentions? I mean everyone has a normal type they go for it doesn't mean they don't date outside that type.

[Asker]

I just feel like a trial or something. Like he is bored and wants to try something new until a woman that is his type comes by and he leaves me for that. Makes sense?

[Opinion Owner]

I mean I get it, but it's also entirely possible he feels y'all have a real emotional connection and you could literally look like you fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down and it wouldn't matter to him because he just likes you for you and thinks you're beautiful because he really likes you for you.

[Asker]

I truly hope this is the case.

[Opinion Owner]

Talk to him about it and find out the only person that knows what he meant by it is him.

[LegacyChonis]

If he's comfortable enough to tell you that he enjoys your personality as a friend. He also probably doesn't want to screw up that friendship. ( I've told one of my close friends this exact thing before.) Just be kinda and act how you normally do around him.

[LeeKenz]

My ex said that to me and after hearing about all his ex’s I looked at myself and I’m like... then why me?

[fetbobo]

Be careful if he told you that to the face but wants to date... I see it as an indication that he's asking for your permission to use you. If you are not his type then y date with you?

[levantine99]

to learn confidence around women and their mindset. and to grow his self esteem to go for higher later. thats how they think.

[_Gecko]

Back in the day I used to be pretty Punk/Goth. I dated a girly girly who wasn't alternative in the slightest. Everyone was confused when we walked down the street hand in hand.
We were together because we just hit off. Types are overrated.

[Futurelooker]

If it is only about sex, the type doesn´t really matter.

[TheFunkyThumb]

I dated an Amazon once when my preference is generally on the petite side because we had chemistry and the sex was fucking amazing.

[Stan_Control_]

This means that he's having a hard time finding his type.
And don't feel insecure about what one guy thinks. You're not his type, yet he's dating you. That means you have a special personality.

[Evkaxy]

Who cares about his type. I would like to believe that people don't pick each other based on a breast size... well maybe the shallow ones do

[Duke_Raul]

How well do you know him to know his type?
Or maybe he's trying something different?

[outside_Toronto]

Perhaps he was just practising. I wouldn't take it personally; I know that's easier said than done. At least now you know it's time to move on

[grkmanga]

Can't have pizza everyday... might as well have some variety! No reason to be insecure. He's trying something new

[samsson773]

If you've already had sex or tell you have nothing to worry about. Or that's how it was for me in that situation.

[Edixx07]

He is maybe testing his taste... I once ask a girl out that did not look like my normal type of girls... because I felt in love with her personality and her eyes... she is still my girlfriend today!

[Anonymous]

You can still click despite not initially being someone’s type. They develop a taste for you like a food you love but is a very different type of food than everything else you eat.

[jdrrichmond]

If he likes you and finds you attractive, his type is irrelevant. Type is a general preference. People are unique.

[Fuentes]

Sounds immature, if he likes you, you stood out to him so basically he's never been with a girl like you

[Betcloe]

Honestly, he either was unsure of how you looked or he just wanted to test the pool before he declared his rules. Both don't mean anything negative towards you

[Cerealkiller27]

Just because he has a type doesn't mean he doesn't find you unattractive. His type is like a favorite ice cream flavor it doesn't mean he doesn't like any other flavor.

[SakuraSa]

he probably cares about looks, not personality or intelligence I personally don't care about looks, you should not either you should not feel insecure about it.

[knightof13]

Because looks aren't everything, and actively seeking "types" is shallow and when its not activr its subconscious.
And if you can get past the "type" thing look at it this way, you're the acception

[Bricknall]

This guy is clearly about the physical attraction, and not about the person, and he is not worth your time, if it make you feel better I think curves are incredibly sexy

[torwulf]

Probably insecurity. He doesn't think he can get "his type"

[pasiveuser]

At some point you will have to realize that communication between opposite sex is due to different psychology , mental complexity etc very difficult , often misunderstood. Most of guys are flexible and don't spend much time worrying about beauty He wasn't able to impress or charm. The very moment when alternative present itself and have minimum criteria He will go for sex. That is a fact.

[Pizza_lover159]

If you are hot doesn't matter what his type was. Duh

[gamerguy_tarantulas]

Veeeery simple. he's trying to to get laid. Or he's madly in love, but probably the first one. However, the change exists he is in love.

[srhacker]

He was just being a jerk, don't let that get to you tho every woman is beautiful and hot on their own way

[New_phone_who_dis_]

Maybe he is just in love with your body and willing to change his type or his heart just skipped a beat when he saw you (can't relate* anymore*)

[lovenote]

Ha! Actually I'm text talking to a girl that I don't like she's not my type

[Asker]

Then why are you texting her if you don’t like her?

[lovenote]

Because I'm mean like that she's probably ugly as hell we never met yet

[nathanator555]

It's fine as long as the emotional part are good and he is not a scum bag the relationshipwill last long

[Thetableshavetabled]

He loves your for who you are and doesn't care about types. Or he's trying to say someting else

[Vishy4dollar]

Wait. He will fall for you. But don't show desperation

[ziko_talawoth]

I had a friend just like that he only dated a girl just to show off

[SarahsSummer]

Because he was really gay?

[cartoontaz]

I wouldn't be too concerned just be careful dont let your self get too attached too fast.

[JP_Man]

Why would he say that. He could have said that you're the first one he dates of your type.

[TinaSP]

Sex. Boredom. Lack of choice

[Browneye57]

You must be giving him sex. That usually works.

[pasiveuser]

we are guys lol lol try to get her in bed asap

[pasiveuser]

Beside I see beauty in every girl , sometime need to stay focused to certain features you find attractive. Perfection was never my cup of tea.

[skeetskeetskeet]

Pussy

[MrBillH]

He wants to fuck you
