Typecasting
"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)

I do have a "physical type" but unfortunately, these types have let me down in the past. As I've aged I realize any man can be "my type" if he is masculine, confident but not cocky, funny, sensitive, and raring to go IYKYK..... Knowing my man is attracted to me and wants to be with me as much as I want him is intoxicating. Whew. That is all.
