What to do when all your life you've been attracted to one type.....and then you end up with an atf who is completely different?

I learned long ago never say that I have a  certain "type" because sometimes someone looks better on paper ie: physical stats with certain personality traits.   Attractive visuals don't always make for good chemistry.  Approach each person with an open mind and see them for who and what they are and not whether or not they fit into a certain "type"

is if they meet someone outside their physical type, but adore them in every other way, is to try to change them or mold them to change physically into their physical type.

But I assure you women do the very same thing. If you like someone, you should never want them to change or try to mold them into something they are not. If there's one thing I've learned it's that someone will only change if they want to and not for someone else. It's all about being comfortable in ones own skin.
