Can mens type change when they are with a different partner?

[Anonymous]

If a man is into red heads all their life and then goes for a brunette, or into Gothic women and then goes for a different aesthetic after, or into curvy women and then goes for a slim women, can they genuinely develop that as their type and feel satisfied even though their partner is the complete opposite to what they were previously looking for? But still chose to be with said partner even?

Can men develop different types?

[DishLady]

It IS possible for a guy to get turned off by his "type" bc he's had too many negative experiences with that type of woman. So... a guy who always goes for "the hot girl" suddenly finds a very bookish gal to marry and settle down with, or a guy who has always gone for the quiet, shy or uptight gal and suddenly falls for the boisterous gal who captivates his attention.

@DishLady good points.

I think I know who this is, but to answer your question, anyone, man or woman, can change their preference. He may not have even had much of a preference in the first place, you just happened to be who he married and you just happen to be ginger.

Fair point

For me kinda, like an 8/10 girl may become a 10/10 for me when I am with her. And then my future preferences in body types will be more like the last person I am with until I am with someone different who I then mold to a bit more. But its within reason, I won't suddenly begin finding someone attractive I didn't already find attractive.

[Asker]

Can you kindly elaborate on why you would have the preference of the last person you where with?

[sawno]

Its a subcontious thing but I assume my subcontious then registers that experience as compatible. So based on pattern recognition she then becomes more attractive. Its just something I observed but its not permanent, it really is just last girl I have been with kinda stuff. For example my crush before my ex also had the same impact, but that got purged by the ex.

[Asker]

Alright but if your previous partner is what molds what you find attractive after then how do you date someone who is different to the ex? If what you find attractive is someone like the ex

[sawno]

Like I said its still relatively small margins. I'd have found both girls pretty either way. But post a relationship the kinda body type that appeals to me most just happens to be a result of that mental adjusting. So the girl who was an 8 and became a 10 is the 10 now. If I then date another 8 I know that will happen with her to since its a pattern, but as that happens and she becomes the 10 the previous girl then shifts back to the original rating. I don't know why my brain works that way but it just does.

Makes sense

Meaning preference sticks?

[DryGermanGuy]

Yeah, mostly. Not like a law of nature, but you know what I mean.

[Asker]

Fair

[cherrytreeblossom]

pretty sure everyone has their preferences and some hidden ones they just dont know about, yet. i didn't know i liked many things until i tried them, can't be that different for men either, right?

[Asker]

Fair point

I think you can start liking your girls body type even though it differs from your type that is hard coded the limbic brain.

It has happened for me.

[Asker]

How do you start liking it? Is it not instinct at first?

[RavVid]

I like very slender small breasted girls instinctively. However there was a more buxom woman that I started liking more on a personality level at first. She definitely had thunder thighs but I just started liking her thunder thighs as my attraction grew.

I think we start liking a girls body shape as we start liking her but revert back to our inherent proto woman in our 4F brain.

I am no longer attracted to thunder thighs :) Completely reverted to nicely tapered legs now.

[Asker]

Fair enough

For 100 millionth time, guys don't have types. They have preferences. Learn the difference.

[Asker]

Do enlighten me then

[spartan55]

Type means you limit yourself to one thing, no exceptions. Preference means they like particular traits, but they aren't required.
Girls get WAY too hung up on types. They think once a guy dates a few blondes in a row that he HAS to date blondes. Uh no.

[WhitneySnow]

They can fall in love with a woman even though she’s not their type but they usually won’t completely change their type, especially if he and the new woman break up

[On_cloud_wine]

I find myself magnetically attracted and drawn to people I really liked in the past.. don’t know if that’s the same for men..

[On_cloud_wine]

Really liked with similar looks and personality*

[Finchie40]

Yes we can , I know my type has changed somewhat through the years

[Anonymous]

I don't have an exact "type". I just want someone I think I could spend the rest of my days with.

[Anonymous]

Maybe , but from what I've seen it usually stays the same

[Girl29428383386]

Yes but not just for man but women also
