The type of women that I usually attract:
1- Veiled Muslim women: It's pretty funny how these aggressively follow me even after knowing I am atheist, they're the most insisting group ever, I literally run away from them and they literally follow me. On dating sites, every time I click on a veiled woman's profile by mistake I got a message from her. Let alone the real life encounters - oh boy.
Maybe I should start grabbing their veils or something or put some Mohammed cartoons on my shirts - oh wait, that wouldn't work with them and would get me killed...by men. Not good.
2- Conservative Muslim women: Non-veiled yet conservative, Muslim and Druze alike; I might give them a shot depending on how much conservative and religious they are.
3- Liberal Christian women: they tend to like me, they just do. Dated recently at least 4 of this type.
4- Women from remote rural areas: This category overlaps with the second one but not always the case - those seem to like the "city allure" of city guys.
5- The well-cultured extroverts: These extroverts who DO like to read stuff and know stuff yet exhibit obvious extrovert traits and follow an extrovert lifestyle on weekends.
The type of women that I don't attract or even avoid me like the plague:
1- Conservative Christian women: By assuming I am Muslim, they run away - and by knowing I am atheist from a Muslim family, they run away anyway.
2- Atheist women: Weird! But they just don't, the very few I knew of them were even aggressive toward me and kinda 'bitchy'. And oh, they're often communists, I hate communism.
3- Geek/Nerd/Introvert women: they often want the opposite of them. Got big fails with those.
4- The party animals: Meh, like I care.
I thought it was interesting that you organized people by religious categories even though you are an atheist. It would not have occurred to me to do that. I am wondering if that is because you come from Lebanon?
I come from Kansas, and it is more religious than most of the rest of the USA, but somehow religion never really came into the picture for me when I look for girls. Maybe this is because I live in a college campus and I mostly go after pretty engineering girls. Or maybe I don't attract religious types so that they just don't approach me at all and I never have to deal with it.
It's simply how the pattern is. Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, thee times is enemy action

The type of guys I attract:
- They have a cause or a purpose outside of themselves that they have committed their lives to
- They tend to have a career in the sciences or the natural world - or systems, statistics, computers & promgramming (in other words, more geek related stuff)
- They tend to have a nice even balance between liking both intellectual stuff & hands on or physical activity
- While they have a few really good friends and lots of acquaintances, they tend to be loners for the most part and tend to be introverts
- When among people, they are not the loudest or the most aggressive in a group, but usually quiet although when they make a decision or veto someone else's decision, their word is final and unquestioned
- They like deep and meaningful discussion and reflect on life fairly frequently
- They usually have at least some similar tastes in music to me, and play at least one instrument
- We have at least one or two hobbies in common
- They tend to be way bigger than me, well built and muscular (I'm not sure why I attract that type, but I do)
- They are more opened mined and curious than most people are
- They tend to have a set of ethics that they do not break for anyone, including themselves
- They see through other peoples crap easily
- They tend to be very understanding, sweet, caring, protective and empathic, the kind natured type
- They tend to believe in god or some such thing, but are not religious (which is funny, because I am agnostic)
- They tend to be shy or nervous around me at first (apparently I intimidate people - I have no idea how though)
- Other people are threatened, intimidated or charmed by them - often all at once (not sure why or how)
- They love aniamls and interact with them much better than most humans
- They like parties but don't go to them that often (why people like to torture themselves like that I will never understand)
- They have a great, although usually very twisted, sense of humor
- Everyone in their circle of friends or acquaintances seeks them out for serious advice
My gawd, women.....
So one woman makes this list and you say women. Good for you. Why you had to remember the comments of the rest of women here?
Hey, chill out....
Yes, don't worry, I'm relaxed

I only get angry like three times every year and I only use my angry days in real life, so enjoy, go out to see the sunset.

Blue_Bean:
Why do I sense that was supposed to be sarcasm?
And you're not the only one who attracts your brothers friends..... when I was younger I often attracted my (almost) brothers friends and- any female friends I had, usually I managed to attract their brothers themselves... awkward much?
Your list sounds like more like a list of wishes and standards than what you really attract....
Actually Boo - I have never even *thought* of the type I attract until now - that was why it was an interesting question, it really made me think.
The people I attract has changed radically over the years - if you had of asked me when I was 18 it have said deadbeats, players, liars, cheats, anyone looking to take advantage.
This just happens to be the type I attract now... I attract fewer guys than before when I was 18, but the ones who do are definitely more compatible - most guys who approach me (more than 80% of them) are have 15 out of 20 things on that list. I also get guys who will hit on anything that moves and only want sex, but thankfully that is only about 20% or less now - and mostly those only happen when I got to friends birthday parties - in other words the reason they hit on me is solely situational.
And there are things on that list which not my preferences, it actually is who I attract - I do not prefer those who are theists, or those who like parties, or those who have a career in computing or programming (it tends to be stressful and lead to burnout for many people) - for instance, but I still attract them.
It becomes more complicated once you consider that what you want isn't always what you need. That's the reason I would never a make a "wish list" - it's too limiting and closes you off to things you haven't considered or might not like, but might actually need.
The one type that I repel like nothing else - is anyone who expects me to pander to their ego. Or tell them things they want to hear. Especially if those things are utterly incorrect - those people stay away from me like the plague - and behave badly and become combative with me - like I am trying to take away their favourite toy and break it - even when I am perfectly calm.

I don't know which sort of people I attract?
Men and Women equally.
Perhaps a little mix of personalities.
I also don't have a particular type, although I have certain traits I feel more attracted to. With women I always was fascinated with blonde hair. That's as shallow as I got 
With men? Intelligence, Kindness. A good friend. And for shallow, a good roll in the hay. LOL I think Im really over tired and it's Mrs Jekyll coming out to play now.
