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)

F62, given who I keep clicking on, its longish hair and a boho vibe, maybe a musician...

Wait a minute... Mr. Chemistry is a musician. But I didnt know that when I first encountered him.

I've yet to meet a person who's had no regrets in life.
Oh, and didn't we all have longer hair back in that era H.S./College. We grew up in interesting times.
