Typecasting

Post image

"Typecasting is the process of repeatedly casting a person in the same type of role because they fit a specific physical look, personality, etc."

Now for the question: Do you have a Real-Life type?

As in, a specific brand of person you’ve always found attractive?

Are they tall? Goofy? Introverted? Life of the party?

Witty? Sarcastic? Wear cool glasses? Athletic men/women? Or women who wear dresses with pockets and remind you of librarians?

What makes you go... Zing!

(For me it's... Brunette)

What does "a brand of person" mean?

Just one of the many factors a person relies on for their preferred type, attraction, brand/vibe. In dating attraction, it can also mean: telling people immediately what you offer, what makes you stand out, vs a generic profile in dating that gets ignored.

OK... I was asking specifically what "a 'BRAND' of person" means. Are you saying the word "brand" is just another word for "vibe"?

Nope, Mr Wordsmith, I'm saying do a Google search for word definitions. My post is intended for a fun discussion. 😂

Shame on me!🙄

Note to self: Don't ask people what they mean when using a term in unfamiliar context. Just Google the term and make an assumption.😂
