On a more self reflective mode and in an attempt to stop Lolo drooling over pictures too much (a vain hope i know but you have to give it a shot) - i have to say I have never seen myself as having a type or a particular look i go for. I have in civilian life been out with (when younger) all types of women - all shapes and sizes, blondes, brunettes, redheads (not yet bald - but i would not draw a line under that option). And yes I may see a picture of someone and think "she's nice" particularly if she is reminiscient of a previous girlfriend - but thats natural enough. I always reasoned that this was all because personality was the over-riding concern - others may claim it was cos i am not picky or desperate.
Anyway I much preferred my explanation and was quite content with it. But a couple of years ago I was talking to an old friend who has known me since my teenage years. He said I was talking out of my arse (not an unusual event) and of course I had a type. "No" I protested and laid out the arguement above. Thats true he agreed but went on to say that anyone I ever had more than two dates with always always had larger than average, not to say plump lips. "Nonesense" I retorted - but he reeled off a list of names and then thinking back he was so right.
It had seriously never occured to me before but i clearly have a mouth fixation. Just shows you can sleepwalk through what you find attractive and not realise but someone who knows you very well can see something quite different. It of course also shows i am far more shallow than I like to think i am.
