Like you fell for some one outside your type?
From the time I was 15, I dated all "types" of girls and was in quite a few exclusive relationships. If there was a physical type I was particularly attracted to, it was the classic Playboy playmate form - something in the neighborhood of 34"-24"-36".
I preferred girl-next-door types, though, not glamor girls. You know, normal, cute girls.
All my girlfriends were my "type" even though they were all different from each other. Their only commonality was pale, glabrous skin. And none of them were particularly tall. The tallest one may have been 5'7". I'm 6'2".
But when I was 36, I met a 30 year old named Petra. She was 5'1", quirky and adorable. Cute face; shoulder-length, bouncy-curly, natural, light blond hair; flawless pale skin. Her body was my idea of perfection. She also turned out to be hypersexual, orgasmic and sexually adept. She made me feel like a sexual god.
We wound up living together for well over a year. She was the first woman I ever fell totally in love with. She loved me, too.
She became my image of the feminine ideal. My ultimate "type".
As it turned out, we weren't destined to be life-long partners. We wound up separating for reasons that are complicated but didn't have anything to do with cheating or anything mean.
I was in agony. The worst pain I have ever experienced. I couldn't imagine any woman so wonderful but I didn't go back because I was afraid that we would eventually separate again and I couldn't go through that again. I had to move on.
It took me over a year to pull myself together.
Some time later, when I was 40, I joined a pre-internet dating organization called Great Expectations. I went on a few dates.
I finally arranged a date with my future wife. We met at a restaurant.
So here is the point of my story. When I first saw her, she didn't match the vision of my "ideal" that was in my imagination. Basically, she wasn't Petra. She had a pretty face and really nice figure but was taller, had darkish red hair, brown eyes, and wore a dress that I thought was kind of frumpy.
But once we started talking, our conversation just flowed. Time disappeared. I had never encountered such a lovely personality. As we talked, I began to see her differently and think she was adorable.
We began to date exclusively and I married her two years later.
We've been happily married now for almost 27 years, have had a LOT of fun, and built a wonderful life together. I love her with all my heart even though my original impression when I first saw her was that she didn't match the image of "my type" that had been in my mind.
I think the lesson is, every woman is different, and being hung up on a "type" is a limitation.

No. Sounds really bad but i fell in love with and married the biggest whore at our school.
It was supposed to just be casual sex. A hook up nothing else, next thing you know. We started having deep conversations. Cuddling, I’d take her out on dates and we were hanging out.
introduced her to my friends.I didn’t realize it until she was basically my girlfriend that I fell for the easiest girl at our school. Everyone slept with her. And here I was Holding her hand.
She felt the same way. I knew when we started hanging out this was too good to let go of. And we kept seeing eachother
fast forward years later we are now married. Have a house and kids together.
mind you this was the girl giving guys blowjobs under the bleachers after a football game 🏈. Guys were even recording her
everything changed when we crossed paths tho 1 month in she stopped seeing other guys completely. And was just spending time with me
Yes and no. I’ve always like men with tattoos and a certain look to them and where I am from, those guys are rare. So to meet my partner who checked all those boxes in terms of looks but also from the same background was kinda strange. On top of that, we lived near it other for YEARS and never ran into each other. Haphazardly met at a coffee shop.
No! Never ever in my life I thought I would marry a nigerian man. Also the circumstances that we met didn't make be think we would end up together but I have zero regrets. I love him so much and we are so compatible with each other.

Aiming to sprinkle a bit of love and experience your way! 🌟 Oh, the enchanting unpredictability of love! I've seen it time and again in my line of work—and experienced it firsthand. Falling for someone outside your "type" is like ordering a vanilla latte and discovering they accidentally gave you caramel; it's unexpectedly delightful. It's these surprises that teach us love isn't about ticking boxes but about connection and chemistry. It's like going on an adventure without a map, thrilling and a bit scary, but oh so worth it. So, have you ever found yourself unexpectedly head-over-heels for someone? Do share; I'm all ears and ready for some flirting... I mean, sharing. 😉 Let's get the conversation rolling!

Strangely yes. I had this realization when I was 17 or 18 that I wanted a gorgeous, sexy, smart woman from eastern Europe who had long hair and was feminine. 18-20 I tried asking other women out and was rejected. Then I stayed single for a bit worked like a fiend and met the woman I would marry. She fit what I wanted perfectly
No I think it is all faith and we should be careful to choose that person to whom we will give our love... Cause if we gave a lot of unworthy persons we will not be able to give the right person what she deserves
I will never fall in love again. The man I love right now is the last and the good for me, and for bonus: he's totally my type!
So far, all the guys I have fallen love with were outside my type
Yes, as soon as I saw her. The challenge was convincing her that she could not live without me
Kind of. I didn't expect to still be eith my girlfriend. I'm ecstatic that I am, but I didn't go into this relationship expecting it to be my last.
No, I fell in love with a guy who wasn't even my type, but I loved him 🥲
