He's Not My Type

I had an interesting discussion the other day with a couple of women.  They were both married - happily so - and we were talking about relationships and the advice that young women need to help them avoid dating the wrong kind of guys.

One of these women said that when she first introduced her future husband to her close friends and family, they said, "He's not really your type."  She had to point out to everyone that her type really hadn't been working out for her so far, and this was a great guy, even if he wasn't the type of guy she would ordinarily have dated.

At this point, the other woman chimed in that her husband wasn't really 'her type', either, which got me wondering how many women dated a certain type of guy unsuccessfully for a while before maturing and realizing that they needed to date a different type of guy in order to be happy.

So for all you happily married women out there, is your husband the type of guy you always dated, or did you have to wise up and change your dating choices before you found true love?

If this is your type, it might be time for your dating strategy to evolve.
