I believe everyone has a certain type or types their attracted to. People’s types can be an attraction to someone’s physical or personality attributes. If someone always find tall men attractive or if someone mainly finds slender women attractive, then those are their types. Whatever the case without types, everyone would be attracted each other. Sometimes you can be attracted to people outside your usual type, this happens all the time. Your type is just what you are most attracted to in someone at that certain stage of your life. Your type can also change, maybe after you dated a certain category for a while and they never work out, you might change. Or maybe your taste just change with age and your certain stage of life. But mainly people usually go for their types unless their desperate. An example of how types can change is a couple years ago I was attracted to women with tattoos; they were mainly my type at the time. When I was out and I seen a girl with tats, I would immediately be drawn to her. Also if I was talking to a girl and later I found out that she had a tattoo or tattoos, I would have more interest in her. Now a days, a few years later I don’t have such a preference or a liking to girls with tattoos. That stage of my life has passed and my type has changed. Of course I still find them attractive but it’s not what I notice that I’m immediately drawn to. As for the origin of types, I believe it came from women. I believe this because women are more selective in who they date. For women they have a list of qualities for the man to fill but for men, all the girl has to be is hot. Also women have more leverage into picking their mates then men do, men try to pick up girls but it is ultimately up to the woman to say yes or no. It is mainly up to the woman to choose who she dates, it depends if the guy hitting on her is her type or not. I’m not sure what makes people have their certain types. Maybe when we are growing up through puberty and we find certain things attractive. Or maybe we get our types through experience and finding out what we like. Whatever the case, most people develop a certain type in their life. In the end types can be overcome, I believe everyone is capable of liking and falling in love with anyone. Ultimately everyone’s types mean nothing when you find the one for you. But this is all just my opinion.

I am in agreement with you about depending on what stage you are in within your life your types or qualities you look for in a person can change. Although, what I look for in looks hasn't changed too much but what I look for in a man's personality has changed quite a bit. Like most girls I went through a phase in life where I was attracted to the "bad boys", and of course I had to learn the hard way that they were not the way to go. Now later on in my life I look for someone with a positive outlook on life, who has ambition and wants to live life to its’ full potential. I also agree with your statement about people are capable of falling in love with anyone although I choose not date at the moment but when I used to I somehow felt I had to stay within my race, I guess, within my comfort zone which prevented me from stepping out of my box because I was afraid of giving a person a chance who wasn’t an African American. But life has taught me that if I am interested in a person so what if I am afraid if I choose to date outside my race it really doesn’t matter, because men are the same underneath whether they are good or bad it is all a matter if they have the personality traits that I am looking for.
