Katy Perry doesn’t just date famous men like John Mayer and Russell Brand, she’s also dated people who don’t share the same lifestyle.

Her main requirement in someone she dates, she revealed to Rolling Stone, is a shared love of music.

“I've done that before," she said of dating men who aren’t famous.

What it really comes down to, is "anybody that understands the power of music, I'm usually instantly attracted to."

She does say, however, that dating someone who understands the business is just easier all around.

"It's not that they have to be famous, although there's a level of understanding when they're in the same business, you know?" she explained. “They understand what it means when you're tired from a show or the tour's exhausting you or if an interview went wrong – they know all the ins and outs, so you can just walk in to the house with a certain face and they understand, you know?"

It’s clear Perry has developed a sense of independence since her divorce from Russell Brand. She recently said in a separate interview with Rolling Stone that she “doesn’t need a dude” to have kids and would be open to doing it alone.
