Summary

We often feel like attraction is not a choice in dating. But the decision of who we choose for a life partner is 100% a decision, and it requires us to deeply understand what we value and what qualities will make us happy long-term.

In this episode, Matt and the JAMS team discuss how to think about your "type" in dating, the mistakes we make in choosing certain partners, and how to escape toxic cycles in our dating life.

Do we really want what we say we want?

and to complain about it?

What's up everybody? Matthew Hussey here. Welcome back to the Love Life podcast. A fun, informative, insightful clip from one of our previous videos today.

I think you're going to love it. Check it out.

I think there's a difference between what people are attracted to or what's best for them and what you're used to.

0:51.8

And I think sometimes your type comes from what you're used to and what you've had.

0:57.4

And and type can mean looks, you're blonde, brunette, tall, short, thin, large, whatever.

But it can just mean it can mean certain behaviors or dynamics that you're used to.

1:11.2

Right? It can mean different things like what your type is.

1:14.8

But I think that people do when they go into dating apps, people often superficially have an idea of,

1:22.2

I like sporty type. I like a preppy type of person. I like, I don't like people who went to a posh school

2:01.2

But I think you can have a type, a personality type as well, right?

2:06.2

Meaning you can be attracted to very differently packaged people who have the same core.
