Women tend to be more pragmatic, but most men have a "type". They like either thin or fuller figure, blonde or brunette, or even for whatever crazy unexplained phenomenon, short hair. (Sorry Ide.)
Anyway, one thing that I've noticed over my lifetime is that my type has changed. And the specific direction of the change has been closer toward the way my wife looks. Just talking physical attributes here.
When I was nineteen, I liked big thick manes of dark hair. But I married a blonde. Now, if you ask me to list the most attractive women on the planet, I will probably produce a list of people who at least a little bit resemble my wife. Delicate features, slender, blonde (I didn't actually prefer blondes before her--seriously), people like Kristin Bell, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Annely Gerritsen (do NOT google at work). I thought I was more of a Daddario dude or maybe Neve Campbell and Denise Richards. But you know what? Both of them look more like my mom!
Holy shit.
Yeah, my type has changed with my present circumstances, alright. To "N/A".

Dude, go to Japan. I'm about ready to buy your ass a ticket.
Why Japan? :unsure:

I'm not following. He is an active anime hater and doesn't think animals are objects. Doesn't seem so Japan fitting.
Anyway. On topic a bit....you know. I think my type has changed. As I've gotten a little bit of chubbyness myself I now have far more time for women with a few extra kilograms (keyword few. Fat people can still bugger off) than I once did, downright prefer it even. Being in Japan where women with any shape are rare probably helps.
I guess that's the opposite of your situation though? My type becomes what I can't have.
Hmmm. I don't really have a type. My "type" is probably "whoever is dumb enough to marry me". Surprisingly there really is somebody who belongs to that type :lol:

In practice that's my type too. Though subtitute marry for something less drastic. :lol:

My currently biggest problem is that there are many who fit that. We might go to Singapore soon.
Now that I think about it, I do have a preference for large boobs, and I don't mind overweight women. My wife is pretty special because she is considered as obese as me. Most HK women tend to be small and very thin.
When in Hong Kong, I would do the Hong Kongese.
I'd say I've gravitated far more toward white women lately, probably as a result of the population of Columbia being around .1% Asian, and the sea change in the Asian-American community over the past half decade that has seen Asian-American women realizing that they're basically everyone's ideal type, thus throwing off the playground taunts that white girls once used to keep them down, and valuing themselves accordingly.*
*Sociological analysis based on faint anecdotal evidence and vast amounts of supposition.
P.S. I've also become less hardline on the weight thing, a lot less so. Fat is still gross, but at 31, in America, in 2014, one has to accept reality. (Also, like Tyr, I'm not nearly as thin as I used to be either. Haven't cracked the 160s in about a year. <_< )
I think it's a bit more complicated than some replies in this thread would suggest. For example, there's no doubt that my "type" is a curvy girl with big boobs. However, my first serious girlfriend didn't fit that type. She had a great ass, but was kind of flat-chested. It's not that my type has changed since then, either because of changing circumstances or simply the passage of time, it's that I wasn't interested in a "type"; I was interested in her.
To answer MIM's original question, more than a few times I've noticed an attractive girl (in a happily married-just looking kind of way) only to realize that girl resembles my wife in more than a few ways.

Annely Gerritsen (do NOT google at work).
She is everyone's type.
Your mom is my type.

I take what I can get.

I've always been attracted to slim men and bat above my average looks-wise so have to compromise with thickies and sociopaths.
My type has changed to a well-off, mentally stable divorcé with his own house and limited access to his kids. PM me with candidates.

Or, you lowered your standards to get laid.
There is a equation that says the longer you have been without puss, the lower you will be willing to compromise your standards to get laid.
Cal and the fake tits chick: :yucky:

Hi. Would you like to be my British wife? My turn offs are nagging, adding the letter 'u' to words and Trots.

Fake tits chick would look hotter if she lost the implants. And the glasses.
Thumbs up on the glasses, thumbs way down on the pectoral inflation.
Cal has some serious childhood breast-feeding issues to work through.
It's more like I don't know of any porn stars who wear glasses other than Eva Angelina. :sleep:

If you pay them, they'll wear anything.
Glasses- :thumbsdown:
Nearly always a negative to looks IMO. I've a friend who would be quite cute if she wore contacts, has a very heart shaped face. But alas she has dodgy eyes so cannot.

I think its more of a bell curve.
After a certain time span you reach the stage where you will sleep with almost anything but then you become resigned to your situation and your standards rise sharply. Guys who haven't had sex for an age seem to have the highest standards in my observation.

That makes sense. If you can't get laid, you might as well have high standards in the girls you can't get with anyhow.
