What's your type?



Part of the reason I really hate online dating is that usually people choose you due to aesthetic reasons. This is not the way that I operate. Usually after the “Hi how are you” and the “what do you do for a living “ comes the “what's your type question.

I suppose this is a general segway in girl speak to the question of, “Do you find me attractive?” I'm never sure how to answer that question. In a society where we place too much value on looks I find the question of “what's your type” archaic.

Attractiveness to me really comes from inward beauty and not from exterior beauty. So I don't have a particular type. I don't want to pigeon hole myself into exclusively dating someone who looks like x when my soul mate will come in the form of y. Why would I limit myself? So here are the physical characteristics I am looking for:

Lips that are unafraid to kiss me at random times and that can whisper the inner workings of her soul to me. That are capable of hours of conversation or happy just being in the same room as mine. Most importantly who speaks the truth no matter what it is.

A smile that always hides a bout of a laughter behind it, that isn't afraid to laugh at themselves and at me.

Hands that aren't afraid to take a hold of mine. That create beautiful things, no matter what they are.

Hair that isn't concerned with blowing freely in the wind that knows that I would love it no matter how it falls on the head that I charish.

A belly that isn't afraid to eat or laugh with equal desire for both.

Arms that are open to embrace.

Legs that aren't afraid to stand up when everyone else would sit. This includes dancing at random times, like in the kitchen.

Eyes that smile and cry freely, who can see me for who I am.

A heart that has eyes to see true beauty where ever it lay, in a piece of art, in a bar of music what ever.

A body that gives it's self freely to help others, marked by life with stretch marks, scars and freckles that I can trace in quiet hours.

Feet that can tap to music, go for random walks, and that would carry them to see me. That aren't afraid to walk on their own path.

A mind with it's own opinions even if they differ from mine. That is open, and constantly in motion.

These are all the things I am looking for. How can I tell from a picture if they can do the things I require. How should I answer this question?
