Do you or your OH seem to attract a "type"? *lighthearted*

Just for fun as I've quite a bit of time to kill waiting for a delivery.
I'll start.
I find DP very attractive, he's just my type but I wouldn't say he's everyone's cup of tea.

When someone else does find him attractive they always seem to REALLY like him. And he seems to attract mainly women quite a bit older than him who can sometimes be quite forward/obvious about it.
I find it hilarious because DP has this petrified "rabbit in headlights" look whenever it does happen and he almost squirms and looks ready to bolt - his DM has commented on it too, she once even told off her friend who's only a couple years younger than her as she spotted DP in a parking lot (before meeting him and knowing who's son it is) and made rather interesting comments about him.

One of the more notable ones that happened in front of me involved a lady 10-15 years his senior, we were having drinks sat at a table at the end of a meal, she's a friend of a friend so was there with her DH and after a few she begun talking about how DP is sooo attractive and said she would let someone chop off the tip of her finger to be able to have his babies, quite a few people at our table were Shock

I don't seem to attract a particular type and have never been openly hit on since we've been together and without being humble or finishing for compliments I would confidently say he's actually more attractive than me although he disagrees.

So do you / your OH tend to attract a certain type of person (they don't have to be your type)?
Do you / they ever get hit on?

No I don’t think I would attract a specific type. I suppose if you’re really bubbly and chatty you might attract similar people? Or maybe you would attract more quiet people actually.

I was talking to a friend the other day though about how all the people we thought were super cute/good looking in the 80s/90s wouldn’t fit the typical type that’s popular at the moment. Maybe your husband attracts older ladies because he has a ‘look’ that is more classic? I’m not sure if that’s just nonsense but all I could think of!
