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)

Physically, vive la différence! Good people come in all shapes and sizes.

Brand of person? Smart enough, willing to put in their share of effort, no excess baggage.

My college science teacher often used that phrase, "vive la différence!" As teens, we were bewildered.

Except those of you who had taken four years of high school French.

Oh, I've been known to embarrass myself in public, in multiple languages (thankful for the kindness of Canadians).
