Are you drawn to date the same "type" of person?

Fit

Though I am not a great dater, looking back upon the various women I have had an interest in, they all are very different from one another, both physically and  mentally. I guess I've always been looking for the perfect fit.

Fit to choose

Looking back, much of my dating was based on who chose me, and how I learned to really like the guy.  The not-so-subconcious thought being:  I'm not worthy of making the first move or choice, so I will accept whoever finds me desirable,  In my mind, this is not a gender weakness, but rather a direct result of being told I was "chosen" by my adoptive parents.

looks

For the longest time I was ending-up in bed with the same looking guy.  I thought I was really attracted to a certain type, but after a while I realized that was an association thing I had that really repulsed me. 

I decided to be celibate for a while, because I hated how I kept falling for the same repeated destruction.

Now I know I avoid certain looks and dispositions because I know they will trigger nightmares and self loathing.
