Hello everyone! :)

I've been thinking about this topic quite a bit lately about whether or not our birth orders/only-childness and sex of siblings affect people's personalities and the types of men we gravitate towards for a romantic relationship (and also if there is a pattern in any men we avoid!).

For example, only children have the stereotype of being fiercely independent/mature/selfish, whereas a first born child of many siblings is stereotyped as being bossy. Last born children are thought to be easy going and creative. Here is an interesting article about this, though take it with a pinch of salt!

I'm personally a first born and my SO is an only child. Funnily enough the handful of other guys I've ever been attracted to in any serious capacity have also been only childs. I've always been a bit bossy and demanding although I've learnt to tone it down over the years! In my adolescent mind, younger siblings = my very own in-built personal assistants :')

Would be interesting to hear your experiences and if you've found any correlations :)
