Type Casting No More

I used to have a type.  Tall, skinny, and (usually) yella/red.  But in the 2000s, I don’t think I’ve dated ONE dude that has been tall and skinny.  I talked to one dude that was skinny and tall-ish when I was 27, in 2000, but that is just ONE in almost twelve years.  WTH has happened to me? 

I’ve not only branched UP (up to 6’5”)¸ I’ve branched OUT (up to 280 lbs…at 6’5”, not 5’5…let’s not get crazy).  To give perspective – in college my boyfriend was 5’9”, 145 pounds.  He was bigger than I was so…. I guess the bigger I get the bigger my men need to get.  I’ve dated a couple of “combinations”:

·        5’9”, 175 lb

·        6’4”, 255 lb

·        5’8”, 220 lb

It’s funny how the one that I lusted after the most is the one most people would question me the most about.  He’s short and 5 months pregnant (LOL) but he curls my toes just thinking about him. 

I talked about in “2 Up 2 Down” how beauty has been redefined but it wasn’t until recently – when I got called out/questioned – that I realized just how much.  It almost makes me laugh.  At least it doesn’t disturb me as much as I thought it would.  Back in the day this would NOT have happened but it’s been fun.  We’ll see where it leads me.  I’m trying to get out the game in 2012 so I gotta stay open.
