My Type

If you've ever seen the "Aladdin Stand-By's" album in my gallery. (A collection of all the men I've written or write about that I use for description reference) You know I have a type. They aren't carbon copies of each other, but they all exude a similar aura. I've spent much time comparing and contrasting them for sake of introspection. To ask myself "what do you actually like?" Thanks to this practice, I feel that I know very well what I like. This is how I did it.

1. Employment

   4 restaurant owners

   2 tech bros

   1 dentist

   1 actor

Finding: I connected best with the restaurant owners and felt they most understood my work ethic.

2. Personality

   4 dominant (the restaurant owners)

   3 passive and adaptive (tech bros and dentist)

   1 man child (actor)

Finding: I preferred the personalities of the restaurant owners when I got over my rebellious stage. During rebellious era, I preferred passive. Man child is a loser)

3. Lifestyle

   3 responsible luxury (3 of the restaurant owners)

   4 overspending (1 of the restaurant owners, the tech bros, and the dentist)

   1 broke (the actor)

Finding: I prefer the responsibile luxury. I hate thinking about money and I want to be with someone that I can trust to make good decisions, but Isn't a cheapskate.

4. Communication Style

   4 avoidant/ silent treatment (all 4 restaurant owners ;| )

   3 performative over communication (tech bros and actor)

   1 clear and patient (dentist)

These were my 4 most impactful traits for deciding who I'd be happy with. I was overall most into all 4 restaurant owners. Not that I loved them more, but that I was most taken by them. I stayed longest with the tech bros because of the communication. It was so performative that I could easily understand it as an Autistic person. I think you should do this too. As an introspective exercise.
