So this is a debate which I all too often have got into with @Grand Pooba in my time as well as @Franco but one I get into time and time with myself.

We all have "types", some guys want hot blondes, other want a hot Asian girls, others want brunettes, etc. The poll I put in front of you guys is not one about how but more one about which and why if given a scenario, a poll that is more philosophical than anything.

On the surface, we can all admit that initially, the trends of society dictate to some degree how easy or hard it would be to game certain demographics based on who we we are. If it came to these two choices as a guy, which would you pick and why?

1. You have certain groups of women (primarily based on looks/ethnic appearance) who seem to fall for you (eg: asian girls and tall white guys) to the point where it is even known by society that you two are meant to hook up. IOIs you get from the group are strong, you match with them a lot on dating apps, and you tend to always have a good experience with them. Not only in dating, even on a social level women from that group are nicer to you and your allies.

You might not be the most aroused by them and they might not be your "type" but your experiences with them are always good. From the get go, their attraction to you is there and you can probably get hotter girls from that group.

2. You have certain groups of women who do not like men who look like you and at best feel neutral. There is nothing special about you to them on first sight and you get no attraction boosts or anything. You rarely match with them on dating apps, social experiences are rarely that great, and men of your kind of look or whatever or not perceived in a great light by women like that (as a whole). In most cases, you might just need tighter game or to some degree, overcompensate to get them. I'll make it easier for you guys and say that you are starting off with a disadvantage when it comes to sex and game with this group than group 1, they don't initially see you as an open.

On the flip side of it all, you are really into that look. Something about their features really hits home with you and you get aroused more by them than you would the former, even though your chances are much worse.

As a man, what path do you pick and why?

I voted for my "type"

Mainly because when it comes to the game you can't settle or anything lesd than your idea girl. Even if your "type" is not warm to you as most of the other girls that's the reason we are all learning game so we can get the type of woman we want. Also when it comes to my "type" looks are good but for me a personality has to come with it. I can't be with a girl who has everything I look for in the looks department but is dull as shit or she's an asshole.

You really are in a bind with this subject aren't you buddy? :). Honestly I get where you are coming from. I know all too well. Since my type was rare for me to find in the past and something always went wrong despite being so close.

I tried liking girls who are very into me, even very beautiful: just not what I want and I always had that nagging feeling off I am settling. I had to let a pretty girl go a couple of days ago for the same reason. She was fine, for some even perfect I presume. Just not what I am really looking for. Even without game most of us can get girls, so why learn game if you are not at least aiming for your type? These last years I seem to get my types though after some adjustments which were very logical in hindsight.

Go for your type bro. But and I do not want to get on repeat, how are your fundamentals? Because I kind of suspect your neglecting them (I may be wrong).

I can relate to what you're saying, but having broken through this barrier I can say that thinking like this is actually holding you back.

If you believe that the "type" of women you like aren't attracted to you then that is what you are projecting outwards. You've basically set some rules for the pick up game, either she likes you and you don't mind being with her or you really want her but she doesn't want you and you need to find a way to overcome it. It's not your "type" that is putting up obstacles (as you describe: needing tighter game, overcompensating, starting with a disadvantage), it's your limiting belief that is putting the obstacles in the way.

If you want to break through this barrier, then you need to come at this from a completely different angle:

Instead of trying to figure out whether to go for 1) or working on tightening your game so you can attract 2), think about how to change the rules & the game itself. Start by asking yourself, under what conditions and where would your "type" be attracted to a guy like you?

I rather go for my type myself (as a total newb). Though even then, not a guarantee. I see this girl at work that is my type on paper (pretty, professional, educated, invested in herself). I barely feel nothing in terms of attraction. It's weird. I think she's not my type, physically. Though objectively attractive. Lol.

I have liked girls because they liked me though. Then when it's over, I realize I just liked that they liked me.

@Oh Pry dude this depends a lot. Who are the girls that like you? If you like them although they're less than ideal I don't see the problem. If the girls that like you are disgusting and would be a "Fuck No" on a Fuck Yes/No scale then definitely go for your type.

I've mostly just been doing sniper style lately, so if I'm attracted to them and they're giving me signs I'm right there. If my "perfect" girl was also out I'd definitely give it a go. In the local clubs though there's a lot of guys and not many girls so its not like I've got a lot of "My Type" girls out that I need to deliberate this. My answer is both at the same time! :')

I'm fortunate in that I started off not having a type but as time went on it became petite foreign brunette girls.

I like them and they like me.

Maybe it's more my positive warmth and familiarity that I have with them rather than a higher % liking me vs other demographics - who knows.

With that said I do sometimes feel like pushing myself with blonde bomb shells just to prove to myself that I can get them but upon reflection this is just a society projection and ego stroking exercise rather than something that makes me truly fulfilled.

Truth is it doesn't matter - do what will make you long term consistently happy.

I get it. The 7 looking like a 9 has a ton of make up, sexy outfit etc. She needs to make the effort.

The 7 who looks like a “7” with no make up & normal clothes is the true 9.

Most guys haven’t woken up with enough girls in the morning after sex to discern the difference.

Funnily enough the former girls often feel shy removing their make up because of that!

Is what it is, the game is the game.

And let's not forget, 7 ate 9. :D

I am the opposite in the sense that I am genuinely attracted to my type. I've been with hot blondes before and find that they fucking love Indian dudes these days. My type is Latinas and quite frankly, they fuckin hate us.
