Everyone has a type, right? Some set of physical characteristics to which he is attracted. I really don’t know what causes it, but every dude has a Type.
Some dudes love blonds, and that could be it. Others are drawn to really thin women, while other like curves (mmm, boobs). A lot of dudes are into Asian women. Whatever the case, there is a set of characteristics a guy likes in a woman, and generally speaking, he seeks out those traits. In a dude’s dating history, there’s bound to be some continuity of physical characteristics.
So, why, then do I sometimes find myself profoundly attracted to someone who is distinctly NOT my type? It’s just plain weird.
I was discussing this phenomenon with a buddy of mine. He calls it Substantial Irrational Attraction. He doesn’t know the cause either, but it explains why some dudes who normally date stick figures would go hoggin’, or why a guy who normally dates a straight-laced prim-and-proper lady would have a fling with a tattoo’d and pierced-up alt-chick.
If you have an explanation, I’d love to hear about it.
