I often hear women say after they meet a guy: “He is not my type.” Then, they proceed to describe exactly what they are looking for in their perfect dating partner as well as mentioning their absolute deal-breakers. I then like to direct their attention on thinking about one or more guys that they used to really like in their recent or not so recent past and ask them whether those guys matched the “type” they think they like. And the answer is usually “no.”
