Have you ever been attracted to someone that is totally OFF your type?

...or is it just me.


Just heard that Linkin Park song ( I should not be a fan, as a middle-aged, middle class woman, but anyway) on the radio - 'in the end'
Holy **** that blond boy has an incredible voice - I had a look at the video online and he's a CHILD! And he's blond and skinny - why am I attracted to him?!!!


Youtube has automatically followed up with Metallica's 'nothing else matters' - I may be lost in music videos for the afternoon.....

He's a child......your probably on a list by now

That's Chester Bennington, good voice, bit like a slightly higher-pitched Jim Hetfield right enough, I reckon the machine knows what it's doing.

Bennington was 25 when that song was recorded, and unfortunately committed suicide in 2017. RIP.

jimgoose, I just found that out, in reading about him. So sad to lose a talent lie that so young. RIP

I'm only attracted to magnets.

There probably wasn't that much of a difference between you two in age.

He was 25 back in 2001.

Thom Yorke

There's another one. Skinny and boyish, but that voice. That voice.

I wasn't aware Linkin Park were not to be liked by middle class people, did I miss a memo?

Is it that I think he's cute? Because 'cute' doesn't do it for me - I like men.

I'm not saying that exactly, but I cannot imagine a crowd of people like me at a Linkin Park gig. I'm not the standard demographic. Middle aged woman, too - not just middle class.

Maybe I'm wrong....

I get ya but I think you'd be surprised. You'd be amazed the people I have seen at jazz/rock/pop concerts, they wouldn't be what you might imagine as fans of whatever genre.

So was I, but we were poles apart.

I don't seem to really have a type when it comes to men, I've fancied tall, short, fat, skinny, long hair, shaved head. It's just something about that person that I find attractive. With women though I prefer curvy and brunette I've fancied other women in my time that weren't that type though!

Lorelli!

Not with celebrities but irl, I can appreciate if someone is good looking but it doesn't mean I'd be attracted to them.

I don't get a strong sexual attraction to people that much. Doesn't really happen that often. Usually it would just be something that's stands out about them. When I have had crushes in the past, it's usually not someone I'd expect or someone I'd describe as my type.

Not really. Have a type and don't really stray much beyond it TBH.

Same as myself , so she tells me.

Before I wasn't attracted to women with tattoos and piercings etc

But lately I find body art very attractive, especially when it's done tastefully, and there's something Taboo about it.

I was always attracted women who were very quirky and fun.
But lately I think I'm better off staying away from those types and stick with someone who has their feet more firmly on the ground.
And settled in themselves.

I was always chasing dragons and getting burnt, a bit of a knight in shining armour saving dregs and misfits....

Now I just want to meet someone who's more mature and responsible.

hedgelayer, I was reading your post, wondering if it was song lyrics that I wasn't familiar with...

I know lol I'm a bit poetic but don't realise.

I can't respond to a message without a rant about familiarisation with a story about my experience in a situation
