Handsome actor Michael Ealy says his wife isn't his type

Handsome Hollywood actor Michael Ealy, 40, married Khatira Rafiqzada, 32 (pictured above with him) in October 2012 after dating her for four years. But now he says she's not his type..

When asked to advise other men looking to settle down, Michael told Rolling Out magazine...
While, I don’t consider myself a person that should write a book, or give advice on relationships, what I will share is my personal perspective.
What helped me along the way was I had two personal friends of mine whose fiancés died. And I went through a personal struggle where my father got really sick, and I spent a week with him and it just dawned on me that we don’t have as much time as we think. And when you’re done playing games, and you find someone who has qualities that are much more practical as opposed to romanticized ideals, then you've got to hold on to them.
People think that you’re supposed to marry your type … well, I didn’t marry my type. It’s much more practical, and based in a day-to-day existence. So when you have that, and you’re happy, and you love her, don’t waste time. Because time — and I’ve learned that at this point in my life — time is my most precious commodity. Nothing is more precious than time. Because when it runs out … that’s it.
Who agrees with him? Shouldn't you marry your type?

Very true!! Someone like you is not very practical for day to day living

I agree with him. You don't have to marry your type as long as you have enough maturity to respect each other's differences

Opposites attracts. It's more perfect when u meet someone that flunks ur list of what u need in a partner not with someone he meets it. It's more fun and challenging and an adventure with each passing day.

AGREED! Practical better than Romanticized stuffs

Hmm I kinda understand what hes saying because sometimes you just have to go outside of your comfort zone and try something that you wouldnt normally do. Sometimes what you think is your "type" isnt really the right "type" or person for you.

Marriage is not about similarities (type). Its more about compatibility (being able to work together without conflict). Not that there won't be problems, but they will be able to resolve it amicably.

His opinion tho

Anonymous said...

From ma understanding of what he is saying, 'one's type' is usually romanticised, if u check it, u will find out that it got to do more with physical attributes which of course aint 'practical' in his context, ie may not stand the test of time in marriage...it takes more,much much more to b happily married...so yea..I agree with him. She may not be all he wanted in a woman but has got much more qualities to sustain their union..B.

Anonymous said...

I completely agree with him. A lot of people particularly women have this romanticised outlook about relationships that they fail to see the bigger picture. I wish life was such that everyone could find their prince/princess but relationships are not like fairy-tale books. Relationships actually take a lot of hard work, commitment, understanding and hard work to get it right and few people out there care about these things. We can all choose to look at the world through rose tinted glasses or we can face reality,sooner or later,we all face reality anyway. Life is short and in the world we live in, it is getting very hard to find the kind of person who sticks by another through the hard part of a relationship. But its quite easy to find someone who sticks around for the easy part like sex and romance.

I agree with him. You aren't suppose to marry someone who only excites your romantic desires but someone who you can go through rough time with n not just be cut up with sex...then what? if who you fall in love with n get married to is your type then it's a bonus! But it shouldn't be the criteria to choosing your spouse...shikena!

Linda!!!!.....your title is so misleading....haba!!!...and yes the guy's perspective is right to a certain extend. Practical marriage is like a contract, why marry someone like u...it becomes boring in a short while, u make same mistakes, u dnt become a better person cus he/she is just like u, no checks and balances cus u both reason d same way...now dis shld not mean ur spouse shld be ur exact opposite because that will affect your compatibility and there will be a lot of friction...but u both shld have as much differences as the similarities u share...its a personal decision..if u are an extrovert, its only smart of u to marry an introverted personality, u will be courting marital trouble if u marry an hermit crab...but introverts are not always social but can be as mood permits....it will help check n balance ur social life...if u are a shopaholic like me, just marry an Ijebu accountant like my hubby...God bless that dude, i probably would have filed for bankruptcy by now....

I agree with him 100%, I got married last year on my birthday, and my husband isn't my type, this is not an insult, but the fact! I believe that "your type" is an ideal that has been forced on us, by hollywood and nollywood movies, that ideal, "the romantic ideal really doesn't exist", and that is why a lot of men and women waste their time waiting, instead of seizing the moment!!! I am deeply in love with my husband and he is deeply in love with me too, he isn't my type, but he is in fact "My Salvation and My King", and there isn't anything(sacrifice) that I would not do for him and vice versa,so in my opinion Micheal Ealy is right, life is too short to wait or waste, live in the moment-Cocobutter.

Well he is rite opposites do attract what d big deal about types anyway

Anonymous said...

Ok.. Let me educate you Linda and co, what I understand from what he said is, a lot of people wait for their type. I'm sure you understand what that means! He is saying, the one you marry doesn't necessarily have to be your type. If you find love then you have to make it work.
An instance, I like tall huge men. I have never dated any small guy before. (They are not my type) but there's this guy I'm developing feelings for. He's quite petite so I keep reminding myself that he's not my type and I'm staying away. He's done everything to show me he cares about me but I just can't get over his small size....Does this help you understand better?

Linda, if marriage is what you desire now, I think you should go for it and stop overt thinking. That too could be bad. The numerous advice you have received on this blog is enough for you to write a marriage book. Pls stop over analysing issues n find a decent man to marry. God bless. My two cent.

what he really means by type are the little things men/women fixate on, that are not really relevant for a lasting, enjoyable relationship

e.g my husband must be tall or my wife must be from Nnewi.
Can you eat his height or u fit chop her village.

Focus on kindness, love, faith, generosity, faithfulness, laughter, peace etc instead

Linda, i think you quoted this guy out of context. What he said is very true and practical. Marriage isn't always your type because your type mightn't even be good for you. Most times, it's the person you least expected that you end up marrying. For you that is still single and other singles out there, please always ask God to give you your spouse and NOT your type. May the will of God be always be done in our lives.

Well this is certainly true ! Where is it wriTten that a celebrity should marry a celebrity .. Most of em end up divorcing.. When u find true love hold on to it ..

ALieN HybRID said...

TRUE....DIDNT MARRY MY TYPE TOO, cos we would hv both freaked each other out...am very calculating and analytical & cunning.....having a wife like me.. would ruin everything...i d'd spend half of my energy trying to figure her out, energy which would hv been used to grow the relationship......

in some areas she is my type...in other areas she aint, no partner can hv it all..its always a trade off btw beauty/brains/good behaviour/wealth/physique/home making skills/education etc.....

Yes! By 'type' he means your ideal; what typifies that unconscious list we make in our minds; that which is a fantasy. And the important thing is not to blame or castigate your spouse who can never meet up to those pedestal heights. Hence, he talks about practicalities of day to day life. Wise man, I must say.

KINDA TRUE..
in body types..i like big boobs size d or c+, but hv seen so many saggy d, boobs, so decided against marrying that type..married a size b or c-, relatively happy...but still wish i married a double d chic....lol

ok to more serious stuff, had a chic who was my type like 80%...but she had awful home keeping skills, n taste in music..and a big propnent of marriage equality......unlike my wife who understands her role as the wife, has superb home making skills..but is like 55% my match!.....sometimes i wonder what if......

Anonymous said...

Hmmmmmm ..... Just tinking ( type ) ok ooo

@gabstine said...

Very thoughtful of him. Marrying your type is one of the reasons we have single men/ladies (but mostly ladies) out there; cause they waiting endlessly to match their type for marriage but just like he said: "...well, I didn’t marry my type. It’s much more practical, and based in a day-to-day existence!" It is much more practical to do peeps. One love!

ary said...

What is a type really, if not a set of haves and have nots we set up for ourselves. Sometimes you find yourselves attracted to somebody who doesn't have let's say boobs but she loves you; unconditionally and you do her too. What do you do? Leave cos she is not your type? That's why we have a lot of spinsters and bachelors out there, because everybody has a type! Hehehehehe na so!!! Like he said while you are having a type, time is busy taking its toll on you.

A.A.O said...

Most ladies are still single today because they are busy looking for their type, forgeting the fact that time waits for no body. Marriage if not about type, its about commitment and love. So he is on point.

The guy is close to perfect, is nt abt ur type, is abt marrying a person u can live with happily. Wit or without ur type in marriage 'problems,issues, challenges r inevitable, they r bound. All dat matters is 'maturity' just open ur heart, ur mind & accept him/her & everything will definitely fall into place. Be considerate ie, knw dat u guys r two different individuals wit "likes & dislikes" nt d same, & then be accommodating, & above all be tolerant always knw dat dat ur partner is human therefore make mistake, always hv dat forgiven spirit & everything will just be fine. I may be wrong though! Bt ma opinion... @SHoK

Miss X said...

He is right. I would say my "type" is light,slim fit baby looking dudes.

But I married a dark not slim baby looking dude because he is awesome and I am blessed.

So stick with facts not fiction.

Ya all should 4get abt dis marrying ur type thing nd see d fact here! They dated 4 4yrs nd could not stay married 4 jst 2yrs... Don't u think som1 doesn't realy wnt a lifetime commitment? Its either him or her. If its him, when he finds his type as he claims, he won't be able 2 be d right man 4 her, he wil as well run away frm being tied down! Pls do look beyond d interestingly sweet words...

What he meant by your "type" is someone that people will see and say... matches you perfectly.. You know the fine girl, successful business woman or career lady, smart, tall, likes to go out and shares all your interests etc...

However, marriage needs more, and most times you will see it in the person that isn't glamorous enough... Someone that will create the platform, for what you need..

Omg! My crush is married*crying* his eyes though*phew! Linda your caption is misleading, in the context he meant it I totally agree with him....and yes delay is dangerous. ..And this is for the guys esp this val season, when you meet that special girl that makes you blush just thinking about her, and you know you give her butterflies in the stomach,don't waste time, wife her up already before someone else does :)

Your type or not dose not really matter, tolerance matters. ..

Marriage is all about complementing one another. If I am an extrovert, I need an introvert, if I am a free spender, I need someone dat can curtail me, if I am hot tempered, I need a cool person to tone me down, imagine a home where d husband and wife are hot tempered, dey will just burn d house down. Really marriage is all about making up and balancing for each others weaknesses n strenght. So for me, I will prefer to get hooked with someone whose strenght are my weakness and whose weakness is my strenght.

When I met my husband 10 years ago, he was not my type, what I loved about him was the way he cared about me. We are now married, have three children and I am happier than ever. He turned out to be my type.

Wise man, wise words, just the same way i see life. Its unfortunate that many men and women wait untill there time is running out b4 they start living a pratical life n drop the artificial and fake life. Dont make things complicated,for ur self.

It's true that whole notion of 'type' is for casual dating and sex. When you wanna settle it should me the one you are in love with, the one that makes you happy and the one you are comfortable with.

He's right... I luv his eyes

Linda, he is so right. I connect so much with what he said because i am going through a very awkward stage in life now, where i have to leave the one i love because i know long term will not be practicable. I think generally in life, the happiest of people when it comes to marriage did not really marry the one they 'loved', the one they had those beautiful fantasies with, because at the end, it is day to day existence that will count....go for the more practicable rather than the more romantic.

marriage is not about your type but about that one person that makes you feel different and loved.

"you shouldn't marry your type" is very ambiguous. Your "type" of what?
I mean, sometimes opposites attract but what exactly does he mean?

Nini said...

Linda, I think wat he was to say is that most ppl have a preconceived idea of wat they want in a spouse which is most times impractical and unrealistic. He was simply trying to say that instead of living in fools paradise, he took the practical approach and married someone who's imperfections he's willing to accept and one who's willing to accept his.

hONESTLY, HE'S RIGHT.....you think you want someone who's all ambitious, romantic, blah blah blah...but when it come s down to it you realize, its the simple things that count; he's 95% rite....its not about love as much as it is about reality...some things don';t matter when you get into marriage,boyfriend and girlfriend is afar cry from being married.Type or not...married is an institution you never graduate from.....no big deal about one's 'type'

My Wife, is not my type either but I won't swap her for my type even if she came knocking on my door. our Judgement are screwed when it comes to love, majority of us have a picture in our head as to who we want to end up with and 90% of the time that is the wrong person for us. Being Practical as he mention is about give and take not just about giving or taking.
