Type

If someone asks me what my type of guy is I tell them a guy that's witty and looks a little (or a lot) scruffy.  Maybe it's just because a man with a beard stands out from other men (kind of like the one guy in the room who is wearing a shirt that isn't a plaid button up also stands out), but I've always been drawn to guys with beards.

However, based on some recent observations, bearded men might not be my type (or maybe I'm not their type?) considering that the majority of guys that I've gone out with don't have beards.  I came to the conclusion yesterday that in reality my type is a guy who is a smoker (of pot or cigarettes).  This realization is hilariously ironic because I can't stand the idea of cigarettes, and I don't like the smell of pot.  I've never been that girl who has a list of qualities of the perfect guy, but I did always say I would never date a smoker.  Lies.  All lies.  My first real boyfriend was a smoker; I knew it way before our first date, but his wittiness outweighed that detail, and as a bonus he had a beard.  Thinking about the guys that I've gone on dates with in the last couple years the majority of them smoke pot (after all, this is San Francisco), cigarettes, or both.   I swear I don't seek them out for this specific characteristic; in fact, except for one of them I didn't know about these particular hobbies until our first dates.  So just like some people are drawn to certain pheromones, I'm apparently drawn to men who have some kind of smoke lingering around them.
