Dear Michelle,
I've never felt like I have a strict, copy-and-paste "type," being queer and all over the place. But when it comes to men, I'm a little specific, and I've tended to be sexually drawn to people who have sharper features and are quite a bit slimmer and darker complected than me. But now, I'm dating someone who doesn't fit that mold at all! He's short, stocky, and baby-faced — but he won me over by being incredibly consistent, emotionally aware and open, and deeply intentional with me (which, honestly, I find really hot).
Here's where I feel a little guilty, though: I feel so much safer in this relationship than when I've dated more conventionally attractive people. Like I'm not at all worried about how other people perceive us, or worried about how I look compared to him — not to be confused, I am very confident, but society hates to see a fat woman with a partner hotter than them, so in the past I've felt a little more on edge...
I find myself more and more pleased (literally) with what we're doing. So my question is, how much does "physical type" actually matter in the long run for compatibility?
