What’s Your Type? | Cup of Jo

I’m don’t know if you’ve heard, haha, but pop icon Taylor Swift and football player Travis Kelce are officially dating, and the Internet has lost its collective mind. He seems like a departure from her usual brooding artistic ‘type’ — and also very sweet?

And romance author Tessa Bailey made the funniest TikTok, above (via AHP). Makes me want to buy all her books.

Now I’m curious: what’s your type? A few months ago, I sat next to a twenty-something girl on a bus. We casually chatted about her job and life, and she told me about her boyfriend. While her roommates gravitated toward ‘bad boys,’ she said she preferred “golden retriever guys,” which she defined as sweet, funny, loyal people who you always want around. Don’t you love that?

When I think back on my past boyfriends, their looks are all over the map — tall, short, bookish, athletic, baby-faced, angular, quiet, chatty, muscular, soft, one had abs you could run your hand down like a washboard nbd — but the thing they all had in common? They were all very sweet. I guess my type is golden retrievers, too.

What about you? Do you have a type?

P.S. The definition of hell for each personality, and are you into mustaches?
