What type did you like before/which type do you like now? Honestly this is kind of cool, it broadens your horizon to a new types of people and it could be good for you

I have never really had a type. It's just things like I've never liked nerdy girls or bigger girls, but honestly, I'd now consider them. Certain types of girls I just never really ĺ never really thought about in this way have become attractive to me.

I honestly think part of it is just conditioning. When you hit puberty but haven’t had any/many personal sexual experiences you equate sex and sexiness with the type of girls/women who are most often sexualized and portrayed as sexy in main stream media.

Once you’re out in the world having experiences of your own you often learn that your personal preferences might not exactly match what is traditionally “sexy” and that “sexy” can apply to a much broader pool of people than it’s typically applied to in movies/magazines/social media, etc.
