Re: Types? Ideals? Ideal types?!!

Yeah see, I agree with this. Although you may mean well, your friend may be concerned about the idea that you may one day stumble upon someone who is your 'type' and fulfills everything you've ever desired in a girl which could potentially lead you to straying away from your girlfriend.

The only person who ever talked to me like this was also the worst boyfriend I've ever had (not saying you are male, just giving an anecdote). Constantly talked about other girl 'types' noticing them and complimenting them when he was with me. And if I said anything, it would make me feel like a needy jerk so I let him do it. I didn't realize at the time that there were other guys out there who would treat me much better than that.

In any case it's kind of a left-handed compliment to say that. It's almost like saying you are settling, or that you never thought you could be with someone who isn't your type. The point isn't that this doesn't happen to everyone, it does, but to say so and to do it repeatedly is a great way to slowly erode away someone's self-confidence.

Actually, it's almost like you are complimenting yourself instead. Like patting yourself on the back for 'going out of your comfort zone' so to speak. You may mean well but please stop saying this to your girl.
