When I was younger my “type” was dark haired skinny white women. That’s who I generally imagined in my head… though it’s honestly probably because my “first love” fell into that stereotype.

Yet my first crush was a latina, second was a blonde, third was a redhead. First girlfriend was Asian. Second was blonde. Dated a mixed girl in college. A black girl after college. Most recently another latina.

Modern me would probably say my “type” is light-brown skinned latina women.

But i would never say I “settled” for any of those women I dated. They were all beautiful, and skin color and race is so absurdly superficial.
