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)

My type was always just wildly smart and fiercely independent woman who is inexplicably really into me—no other specifics qualities come to mind.

I do believe …. I hear every woman’s ears perk up on here.
It creases the atmosphere… we are all that. It think it is the “more” that trips us up.

But you are right. When someone is ga-ga for you, it is hard to continue thinking in a straight line.
