About This Quiz

When it comes to dating guys, most of us have a type. Some of us melt for boyishly good-looking nice guys, while others gravitate toward handsome, brooding loners. If you're like many women, cute goofballs like Chris Pratt float your boat, or you may prefer to date intelligent, creative types who remind you of Ryan Gosling.

You probably already know which kind of guy is your type, but have you ever stopped to wonder which type is attracted to you? For instance, you may be attracted to nice guys, but are you actually the kind of person who bad boys find irresistible? Or, you may believe that your leather pants and choker are drawing the bad boys like flies, but are your chill attitude and low-drama personality attracting regular guys instead?

If this concept intrigues you, you're going to love this quiz. We've come up with a smorgasbord of crazy questions that our quiz supercomputer will use to figure out which kind of guy you're pulling in. A word of warning: you may be shocked by the results! 

So, do you dare to find out what your dating future holds? If so, what are you waiting for? Drop everything you're doing and take this quiz!
