ideal type

How did reading change your preference or type in men or women?

I've been reading for years now. And my preference in my partner definitely changed.

Like, I used to not care much about their looks as long as they've got a nice smile but now I can't say the same. My type started leaning on someone who was slightly buff (not too much, just someone that works out regularly to maintain their body) and someone that has tanned skin.

I'm quite surrounded with good-looking men but I started liking a guy who fit all that description and that continued for years. The men that I liked were all tanned and slightly buff, I'd say that they all had nice smiles too. There was only one time I felt attracted to a guy that didn't fit all those descriptions, he wasn't tanned but white. Pale as snow but he fit all the rest.

Anyway, idk why I talked about that but I kinda came to the conclusion that I prefer those type of men because whenever i see pretty guys i just want to make them cry. Weird, I know. This is probably because of the webtoons I've read that has a pretty guy. Idk, really. Probably why I hadn't liked what would be considered a "pretty guy" in today's standard. I still think they're pretty though, just probably not someone I would date. And let's not get started on what I prefer when it comes to their personalities & mindsets. It's probably why I'm single. Being a reader sucks when it comes to relationships but oh well, manhwas are the love of my life and they're what gets me through my life so whatever lol
