I have a friend who has not ever been with a girl relationship wise. He’s gone on dates, hooked up and been in a situationship but not a real relationship. He says he has a type that has their life together and the same career life as he is. He says he’s never had a girlfriend before because of these standards or they never really work out because the girl either found a bf or it just fell out. To my question has anyone ended up with their type or is it whatever is close to their type?
Do people end up with their type?

Maybe not everybody but for some yes. It really depends on the person. I think for some it is really easy to have their type. For others they might not ever get their type because of who they are. Not everyone is built the same. There are some who people dont really want to stay with certain types because of behavioral issues and just disconnected values. It also can be due to pride/personality issues. Certain people will get their type because they are generally likable as a person. I cannot say that everyone is likable.
I think if someone has a “type” and won’t settle for anything else they’re going to struggle to find a lasting relationship. It’s not realistic and might be a front for insecurities.
I met my husband by searching online (2004 – before on line dating was a thing) for long haired heavy metal fans in our area. He’s now bald (shaved head) but we’ve been married almost 20 years now.
Edited to add – still go headbanging when we can but lots more aches and pains the morning after.
Also we have raised our own little metal head girl (14).
Most people don’t end up with their type they end up with someone who shows up, gives a damn, and sticks around
