Personally, I fall for growers. It takes time in the beginning but once you're in it, you're hooked. The more you get to know the person, the more attractive they become. Again though, this is just my POV. My friends tell me I have no type when it comes to dating... all the people that I've dated are extremely 100% different from one another.
I've been guilty of and caught talking smack about boyfriends in the beginning stages of relationships in regards to dissing them about their looks. By the time they found it, I'm already so into them that I feel really horrible and it's super hurtful for them to see. I used to do it like an insecurity coping method... like I talked smack just in case they changed their mind about me and I wouldn't feel shortchanged
"because I was the better looking one anyway."
I don't believe in that downgrade stuff, simply because I feel that we come across every single person we're supposed to at the exact time we need them. Like sure, I get sucked into the hype like "oh i have to do better than my ex.." lol but I figure if I'm still thinking about my ex in a capacity where I feel I have to "win", I recognize I haven't made my peace with the past.
Lol, and I will share my favored line over the past two weeks.
ALL BEINGS ARE BEAUTIFUL!
(except you hateful, ugly-on-the-inside bitches!)
