Did you end up marrying your type and are you happy?

[Anonymous]

My friend group is big on us dating and marrying women that are our type. I am the only one in the group who doesn't really have a type. I'll date any race and skin color. It doesn't matter to me. My friends think I'm struggling to get into a long term relationship because I am "not focused" and "don't know my type". They'll sometimes corner me and hound me asking, "What's your type? What's your type?"

The longest relationship I've been in was for 2 years, but that was long-distance with a white girl I met online. My other 2 relationships have been short, like 2-3 months, and they were with lightskin black girls. So by their logic, I have 2 types, white and lightskin black. Whenever I go for a white girl, they think I'm copying another guy in the friend group because he likes white girls, but he wound up marrying a darkskin black woman. Then if I go for a lightskin black girl, they think she's ugly. If I go for a darkskin black girl, they say that I need to elevate my "level of blackness" to get with her. If I go for an Asian girl, they'll say Asian girls smell bad and throw out a racist Asian meme in our group text.

All of the other guys in the group are either in long-term relationships or married. 3 of them are married to darkskin black women, 1 of them is dating a darkskin black woman, and the other 1 is dating a lightskin black woman. I think these guys are just insecure. Clearly 1 didn't marry his type, I can't tell if he's happy or not. I think they just hate me for whatever reason.

Even the white girl I dated online said that her usual type is brown hair, white, tall, and conservative. I just saw on Facebook that she married a guy who matched her type 3 months ago. By looking through her profile, she seems happy and posts him or stories about him all the time.

Should I lock-in on my type which seems to be white and lightskin black? Or should I still date all races and ignore these guys? What has your experience been if you're married? Should type matter?

Yes, I married my type and I'm happy.

At first, I thought my husband & I were opposites when we met and then began dating so many years ago. As we quickly got to know each other better, we realized that we were a match for each other. We broke up several times and reunited several times. Deep inside, we knew we truly wanted each other even when we were apart. We are extremely happy with our decisions and blissful with our marriage. <3

Your "type" could change long after you marry. I think you're doing the right thing by finding the right woman for YOU. Don't let your friends pick your "type" for you either.

I more a less married my type.
She is blond girl with blue eyes, but she is far from that stereotypical dumb bimbo. She is far smarter than me and physically capable. I was usually dominant. She comes along... And suddenly I am in a egalitarian relationship. Couldn't be happier!

Where's the "I'm not married" option? 😅

If type means race, are your friends your "type"?
