Having a type can mean a lot of things. It can be about physical appearance, personality, background, or whatever other patterns you can identify in your dating history.
In my experience as an Asian woman, being told that I'm someone's type is often a bad thing. When people say I'm their type, it usually means they have an Asian fetish. It also doesn't help that I'm very small and look younger than I am. If I'm someone's type physically, I feel weird about it. It's fine if they have a type for personality but that's rarely the case.
What has your experience been? Do you consider it a good thing to be your partner's type?
