I doubt I can explain it as well as tom leykis did many years ago but people tend to pick a type, you go to a bar or club your going to find that type of person. You look for someone who shares your likes and go to those locations. An example would be you like classical music so attend an event for classical music not a Rammstein concert. In my 70 years I've had good luck with two woman, the first lasted 12 years and the one I'm with now seems to be a good match and in-between the two long term marriages I had my fun with disposable younger woman.

Yeah there is a lot of truth to that. Especially the pick a type. But I feel like we pick a type in personality, not so much activities.

I've seen librarians at slipknot concerts and the other way around. I don't have much in common activities wise with my current girlfriend, but it's the best relationship I've ever had, but it's boring.

Changing what you're attracted to is so very fucking hard. I'm attracted to broken, and disorder, and the monkey sex that comes along with it.

But I know that's counterproductive to what I really want, and so boring it is.

In my dating days I always looked for the bar hopper girls, cheap and easy. I met wife #2 on vacation in Neuschwanstein Castle of all places. I looked like a bum tourist in jeans and t shirt, she's well educated and works in the movie industry. One must venture outside there sandbox I guess to find the right one.
