Happy Anniversary, Deena!
To me, types are not so much about the reptilian brain as they are about threading your desire through some kind of cultural narrative. I think that's why, when you name a type, it always feels kinda cliche.
I definitely have a type--boyish, preferably with dark hair--and yes I am married to him.
Am I a type? Probably, though I don't really think of myself that way since I don't think of myself as sexy, and I certainly don't spend my time trying to figure out why some other people out there--notably my husband--do. But he'd type me as the teacher/librarian who let's down her hair, takes off her glasses, and voila!
See, I didn't get into a lot of fights when I was a kid, but when I did, I NEVER surrendered.
I'm just aware of what type of crazy I can become when threatened, even if I don't actually have the strength or the frame to pull it off effectively.
Yeah, I fear this also with Tom. I don't fear Tom, but I am pretty sure he's got this going on, and has done a lot a lot of repression to subdue it.
I fought in school a few times. Takes a lot for my temper to get up into that "seeing red" range. The few times it has, well, like Pete, I never surrendered.
I think I'm the combo of one of the guys/beautiful (as uncomfortable as it makes me to use that particular term, and as much as I feel I need to explain/disclaim the use of it here as particular to the type I get pinned as) freak, depending.
Huh. If I were to guess your type, I'd see you as the Precocious Little Girl.

I'm sensing a theme.

In school I almost never lost my temper or cried. There were too many people trying to get that reaction out of me, and I wouldn't give them the satisfaction.
It used to be too easy to get me to do that.

I inherited mine from my ancestors who were Scottish & Dutch mercenaries.
No, I'm not joking.
I cried now and again in school, as well as lost my temper. Never been in a fight, though. (Not out of school either.)
