What Kind of Girl Are You/ Is She?

I come from a home where gravy is a beverage.

The Girl Next Door is from a small town, a large family, or both. She still has a healthy dose of what people 'round these parts call "family values." She calls her grandparents every Sunday and she's got her mom on speed dial. The Girl Next Door likes an uncomplicated life filled with the simple pleasures of family, home, kids, and food. She may not actually live on a farm, but she tends to keep a menagerie. Asked to choose between a dog and a cat, she generally won't. What's a good guard dog without a mouser to keep it company? She is caring and warm, welcoming and friendly. Anybody in your office ever bring in chocolate chip cookies? You got yourself a Girl Next Door.

The defining characteristics of the Girl Next Door are simplicity and tradition. Simplicity means that, unlike the Academic Girl, she's really not that interested in the great questions that keep philosophers up at night. When she can sit in the kitchen, drinking coffee, eating shortbread cookies with a friend, and listening to the cat purr on top of the radiator, what else is there to life? What else, indeed.

She Might Be a Girl Next Door if:

She drives: a good, solid American car -- a Ford Taurus, Chevy Cavalier, or Dodge Stratus.
She can talk for more than ten minutes about: her family's holiday traditions.
She begins her sentences with: "my mother says..."
She'd never: go to a rave.
She owns any of the following: scrapbooks, heirloom quilts, a Bible, family recipes, her grandmother's engagement ring.

It's no good pretending that any relationship has a future if your record collections disagree violently or if your favorite films wouldn't even speak to each other if they met at a party.
-- Nick Hornby, High Fidelity

An Indie Girl's life is a Statement with a capital S, but unlike the Granola Girl, the statement is not political -- it's artistic. Indie Girls consider themselves actresses in the movie of life. Your meal needs to be constructed like an independent film. If you're bringing her over for a date, you are playing a character in her movie. If you create a setting, props, and a soundtrack that are good enough to avoid the cutting-room floor, she's yours.

You can boil the Indie Girl down to two words: cultural literacy. Or how about these two: media consumption. As the Gourmet Girl loves food and all that goes with it, the Indie Girl loves media: books, movies, music, and art. The good news is you don't have to be rich, good-looking, or famous to win this girl's heart. The bad news is she will judge you based on your music choices, the books you read, and the films you watch.

She Might Be a Indie Girl if:

She drives: a classic car, a VW beetle, a Mini Cooper, or a Vespa scooter.
She can talk for more than ten minutes about: obscure pop culture.
She begins her sentences with: "It's like that Simpsons episode . . ."
She'd never: drive a mini-van.
She owns any of the following: TiVo, a mini-DV camera, an iPod, a pottery wheel, a serger, or a lava lamp.

LOL!!!

No surprise but the Mrs. is "Athletic Girl."

Then again, if she takes it the test will come out as Betty Crocker Girl.

I've been seeing this girl that's a bit younger (21), and it'd be hard to categorize her. I would say she's sort of free-minded and fun. But it's mostly just about fun with her anyway. Nothing serious.

Do you have to be in a really serious relationship to truly know someone?

(Fuck, listen to me. What is this? Oprah?)

Hey PORK BOY. No, see I'm a man that's seeing a woman. See, 90% of the humans on this planet are attracted to humans of the opposite sex. See, that means I'm a GUY that's seeing this woman.

Hope you understand now. I'll PM you when any topic in which you can describe your man comes up.

Glad I could help.

Hmm..i would think semi-serious or friendship at least. I guess it depends on how much time you spend with a person.

Yeah. It's an interesting phenomenon. I've always enjoyed casual relationships. Relationships but not too serious...just fun and warm but not committed and no promises. Not all about sex, for sure, but also not a commitment. And I'm not sure if those occur because one doesn't like everything about the other person or if one just doesn't want more.

[Ally_Kat]

you mean kind of like friends with benefits?

I've always been one for a commitment...but I'm also really picky in who I give that to. I always started out possible canidates in friendship mode. Just needed to see if a friendship could hold strong. It's saved me from some heartache and screwing over, which I guess is good, and it has helped me have the strong bond I have now with mine.

Look at you Rikk! You have a soft side...

I find this statement to be quite profound.

[GAR]

- or should I say, it's not the statement so much as what Rikk leaves out?



I got stuck with Progressive Broad. Yawn.

Did you know 66% of all statistics are made up on the spot!

[GAR]

I agree with you by 155%.

Getting in touch with our feminine sides?? Ok I don't have a reason!

Don't get any ideas, GAY. I got no problem with the other 10%. I'm just in the 90% bracket.

[Vivian Campbell]

Does this quiz have to be SO liberal? I can't even answer half of these questions. I would rather kill myself than go out with a woman who is personified by an Oprah quote.

[Mezro]

I just took the test and now i'm lactating.

Country Girl Gone to Town (I bet they forgot this one)

Was raised on a farm, had chores, fixed fence, gathered eggs, fed chickens, drawed water from the well, carried in stove wood, respected her parents. Went to church regularily. Learned to cook, wash on a rubboard and boil clothes. Because there was no electricity in rural areas till kids were teenager. Listen to the Grand Ole Opry on the battery radio. Finally in her teens they got a tv, washing machine and refrigerator. She wore jeans when everyone else wore dresses (because her Daddy made her) and their legs would be purple. Stand in front of the gas stove at school with fire on high...with the asbestos hanging everywhere inside...Sometimes getting burned. Being teased for wearing Union Suits under her jeans.

Had to walk a quarter of a mile to the bus stop, wait for the school bus in the cold for 30 minutes and walk and clap her hands to keep them from freezing and dropping off. At home the water bucket froze sometimes, and her breath froze on the blanket. Daddy was afraid to have a fire at night after the soot caught fire in the stove pipe. Mama's wood stove tho baked homemade bread or cornbread every day, and good old country meals. Using a chamber pot at night instead of going to the outhouse.

Had a great dog named Sandy, till he was hit by a car. Although he and the little wild fox had puppies...

Country girls had Can of pee under the bed, City girls had Canopies over their beds.

Having to do studying and chores before dark. Coal oil lamp, wood stove hissing and popping and mama playing the guitar like Mother Maybelle Carter, Daddy singing Jimmy Rodgers songs.

Graduated, married, moved to town...found that people in town envied the life she led. Tried to imitate her cut off blue jeans, and hayseed look.

Had kids moved them back to the river and let them be raised in the country. Only with all the utilites...

Then kids grow up and leave, and she winds up in a rock and roll website posting religion and people trying to throw her out.

Sorry I got carried away. Are there any good old country cowboys out there? OR are they all gone?

Living in NC, the temperature isn't bad, as long as you aren't in the foothills...Everytime it snows here in winter people panic and buy out the stores. HA. Usually it's fluffy and don't last long. Northern climates it just sits there and gets dirty, doesn't melt. I remember once in Ok it snowed 2'.

I'll get this thread back on track for Ally from that "derailment."

I took that quiz for my wife and she is a "gourmet girl." Fits her to a freaking T.




The Gourmet Girl is a Foodie with a capital F. All her activities seem to revolve around food, even when she's on vacation. She'd prefer to be mushroom hunting, sampling the wine country, or making a culinary tour of the South of France with the Michelin restaurant guide tucked under her arm. Or she might just rent a villa and spend the entire time in the kitchen, cooking elaborate dinners for friends and family.

Here's the key to the Gourmet Girl: she's a connoisseur. She appreciates the finer things, and she'll gladly pay more for them. She will shell out $1.59 for a blood orange instead of 69 cents for the navel variety, and it's not because they are fancier and more expensive. She doesn't care about status or prestige. For the Gourmet Girl, it's all about quality.

When I met my wife in Dec. of 96, she said those very same things. "We have to be friends first for months, blah blah blah........."by March of 97 we were living together. When you got it, you got IT I guess .
