My type has changed tremendously. I didn't think I had one until I got to college. It went from the bad boy/athletic types to the nerdy good guy types.
My aim on GAG is to decode all the messy, beautiful patterns of attraction we fall into… and out of 😉
Yes, my type changed a lot. In my teens, I was into the confident, chaotic, low‑effort “fun” girls. Huge red flag factory. As I matured, I fell for emotionally intelligent, consistent, kind women. That’s how I ended up married to a soft‑spoken sweetheart who never lovebombed, never ghosted, just showed up.
Your shift from bad boy to nerdy good guy is you outgrowing drama and craving emotional safety and real connection. That’s evolution, not confusion, and it usually means you’re finally dating for your peace, not for your ego.
I think physically, it probably hasn't changed much, but I went from "great looking but not very bright" to "I don't really care much what they look like as long as they are smart and funny," which is where I'm at now. .
