Physically no - but hate long hair. Personality wise, most definitely! Confident, loud, party-animals.
Also style wise I have a type - punk/rock/alternative.

Gold diggers...sadly...I attract the type who expect me to adopt them and pay for everything. Swerved quite a few of them since I have started dating post-divorce. Now given up on dating as I have never met anyone who doesn't have some agenda or other.

All my serious relationships have been with redheads (3)

Not on purpose, but I must subconsciously be attracted 😁

I now have a beautiful red headed DC

Yeah... wankers.

I'm trying to change that though.

Confident, quick-witted and American. The latter not intentional, but perhaps a subconscious choice.

Physically no.

Personality wise, I tend to be attracted to smart and/or sensitive guys. DH is one but not the other but I wouldn't tell him that.

I used to like "pretty boys" but now I'm older I appreciate personalities much more.
Someone who is kind, reliable and loyal gets a big tick in my book

Lots of different types in terms of appearance. Maybe similar in terms of personality.

Geminis - and before anyone says anything, I'm very sceptical about astrology. But, for whatever reason, like 80% of my partners and mutual crushes in the past (i.e. people who I've liked who've actually liked me back) have been Geminis. It's ridiculous.

Bad boys but that isn't working out so I've tried the nicer guys but they're boring!

Maybe a half way genuine guy, but I have zero faith in this dream becoming a reality

I've been thinking about this a bit because I seem to like slightly different/on the spectrum/ADHD types. I'm very controlled and calm myself but I seem to like those who don't follow a norm and I like how their brain works.

Physically no I don't think so ... but personality wise: a bit nerdy (about what varies), patient, able to tolerate wittering

I do, but I try to deny it.

And it's a distant dream.

Physically it’s dark curly hair, brown eyes and big nose.

Personality wise it seems to be bankers/hedge fund managers!! The past four men I’ve been involved with have been a trader, an investor, a trader and a hedge fund manager....maybe that’s where I’m going wrong and shouldn’t date bankers —wankers—

Alcoholics.

Physically there hasn't been a common denominator but the one I have now is by far the most handsome

Intelligence and unusual coloured eyes. All my exes either gave different coloured eyes or green or changes with the light. Also, saying smart stuff makes me weak at the knees. Fat or thin, good looking or bad doesn't matter to me.

I didn’t realise those are personality traits.
