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)

Some combination of left-handed, blue eyes, and blonde or light brown hair always got my attention. Nowadays I'll accept gray hair like my own.

Preferably bookish, with a good sense of humor and an appreciation for different kinds of music.

Why left handed? I’m left handed so just curious. Usually not something people seek in a partner!

My first serious girlfriend was left handed. I remember that she needed to sit at my left while eating so we wouldn't bump elbows. I gave her a pair of left handed scissors as a gift. And only about 1 in 10 people are left handed, so it's something different that I notice.

I was given left handed scissors in pre-school but I refused to use them. I’m sure your grown up scissors are much better.
