What Type Of Person Do You Attract?

Topic probably has been discussed before so apologies if it has. Had a conversation with the old man the other day that prompted this.For me it’s a polar opposite so I guess opposites do attract lol. There’s usually one, two max, mutual interests/hobbies but everything else is night and day. Surprisingly works well though.

 

The type of people or guys I tend to attract are the unserious ones. No goals, no ambitions, no drive. All they want to do is smoke and drink, two things I don’t do.

 

I’m sorry to hear that . It can be tough in this day and age especially for someone in their 20’s like us to find somebody who doesn’t partake in those activities. Feel like I was born in the wrong generation at times.

 

Right?! LOL, so do I. When I tell people that they never believe me.

 

One and the same lol I usually get hit with a when they actually see I don’t do those things. Always felt if that’s the only way I can have fun I have some problems I need to deal with first. Actually had some applaud me for it. Guess listening to the old heads kinda worked that time

 

Yep! I know exactly the looks and reactions you mean. And I’ll never say it out loud to my parents right now but they are the ones who led me to not needing those things to be myself or to have fun

 

I always seek out partners who are like me, dry humor, workaholic, analytical types, but am often approached by emotionally needy people, which often leads to unhappy relationships. Surprisingly though, my therapist thought that I should date people who are different, because too much similarity to me would be boring. I'm not sure I agree.
