Clarification needed - みたい (みたいな)


みたい as in _like_ (someone)

If I want to say "I like people _like_ that woman", is it enough to simply
say: 女性みたいな人が好きです。 Or do I have to specify the "that" part by putting it like
this: あの女性みたいな人が好きです。

Also, is it allowed to use を instead of が here if it ended with a verb? (好き is
an adjective if I remember right)




I would say 「あの女の人みたいな人が好きです」 is probably better if you're want to talk about
_that_ woman. Otherwise it may not be clear who/what exactly you're talking
about. with may depend on the context though. Also, notice that I replaced 女性
with 女の人. みたい is more casual expression (than のよう) and more everyday
expression 女の人 seems more suitable and in line with the level of speech.

You cannot use を in this sentence. 女の人 is the subject of the sentence, not an
object. 好き is an adjective, not a transitive verb.
