This girl caught up with Kit Kat Bandit and Golden Skull and it was an utter riot. They bitched, they ranted, they laughed and stuffed their faces. They updated each other on their lives: annulments (that’s only this girl), new housing situations, new jobs, turned down proposals and everything in between. Until they started talking about men and women.
Golden Skull is by trade a psychologist and she was telling this girl and Kit Kat Bandit that where men and women are concerned, we all have a type. This girl and Kit Kat Bandit decried that- we all like to believe we have eccletic and varied tastes don’t we? Zwieback once put all the guys this girl found “good looking” side by side and they had agreed that, yes, she did have a type- looks wise anyway. Anyway, Golden Skull had them do a small experiment that went like this:
The Golden Skull Type Experiment
1. Pick three actors/actresses you’d marry of have romantic relations with.
2. You have to pick person+ exact movie character
For example, you can’t just say Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie, you have to say, Brad Pitt in Fight Club; or, Miss Jolie in Hackers. This is important, because, we are not so much interested in “how hot the actor is” but the character he plays. Brad Pitt in Fight Club differs greatly from Brad Pitt in Legends of the Fall and Brad Pitt in Thelma & Louise. Again, the focus is on the CHARACTER they play, not the actor/actress per se. (Please do not just pick hot people or pornstars, read the instructions properly. The fact that pornstars play characters in their films does not count.)
So, this girl picked:
1. Sean Connery as 007
2. Clive Owen in Sin City
3. Olivier Martinez in Unfaithful
*A fourth choice would have been Michael Vartan in Alias. Still, the SAME type.
This girl’s first choice is unsurprising for those that know her. Heck, this girl was even taken by Sir Connery when he voiced Draco in Dragonheart. The second choice is also should not come as a big surprise given that Mr. Lancome is this girl’s man of the season. The final selectee was rather controversial given the movie choice, but his art-student persona is simply too too alluring. And the freaking French accent! Eek! Sexy!
This girl was convinced that the three men were not really of the same mold, rather diverse and so, there can’t be a type right? Wrong. Golden Skull hit the nail spot on when she said- after she giggled some- “Babe you are an audiophile right? Specifically, you love men with accents and deep, scratchy voices. And you like them scruffy looking and dammit, they are all damaged goods.”
It is really rather accurate. This girl has always liked these scruffy men-types. She tried convincing Staircase Master to not shave so he’d looked more “well lived” (seriously, the nonsense that this girl comes up with). She likes the “dirty” Aragorn as supposed to the pixie-pretty-boy Legolas. ALL her ex-es and crushes have been known to sprout five-o’clock shadows which she periodically impulsively rubs gleefully. And NONE of them have typical local accents, and ALL of them have deep bassy, low voices, and (DAMMIT!) they are ALL damaged in some way or other.
ARGH!
This girl tried this with Smelly Melly, Onion, The Soldier Boy, Soldier Girl, Sailor Boy, Sailor Girl, Teacher Boy Teacher Girl and the Princess to great hilarity and accuracy!
Smelly Melly likes the reluctant hero type (Tobey Maguire in Spiderman; Orlando Bloom in Pirates; Clooney in Oceans). Princess likes the Reformable Bad Boys with Soul (Colin Ferrell in SWAT; Brad Pitt in Spy Games; Nicolas Tse in My Classmate the Barbarian). Kit Kat Bandit likes the pixie-faced off kilter chicks (Natalie Portman in Closer; Kate Hudson in Almost Famous; Scarlett Johanssen in Matchpoint.) Interesting point to note, both Sailor Boy and Girl (married to each other) both picked vampires to be on their list (Tom Cruise in Interview with a Vampire & Kate Beckinsale in Underworld.)
You should play it too and leave a comment when you’re done. If you can’t figure your type out for yourself, this girl offers to figure it out for you.
I like Aragorn in LOTR, Matthew Macfadyen as Darcy in Pride & Prejudice, and Wentworth Miller in Prison Break (Tv lah..but still counts).
you can decide for me. i have no clue.
1. Liv Tyler as Arwen in Lord of the Rings.
2. Julie Delpy as Celine from Before Sunset/Before Sunrise (haven’t seen Before Sunrise yet though).
3. Emma Watson as Hermione Granger once she gets older.
So…the smart, independent, classy type?
P.S. I’m a complete audiophile myself – she can look average but a beautiful voice gets me every time.
ooh, you like brainiacs.
Ann: i can’t decide for you. It doesn’t work that way!
I’ll try anyhow:
1. Dexter from Dexter’s Lab
2. Godot from the Lizzie Maguire Show
3. What’s his face from High school musical
reformable?? no. they’re not reformed bad boys; they just have a soft spot fot the one they’re willing to give it all for.
i am the katherine moennig type- for women. and the wentworth miller type- for men.
character type- refer to Michael Scofield in Prison Break, baby!
unlike you, i like the clean look. clean, sharp features. well-groomed, etc. no scruffy for me thankyouverymuch.
I don’t know what is with you women and clean cut men. They look utterly too pretty boy type. Can’t stand.
You overly clean cut men out there reading this: don’t bother applying.
Then again, I never said you’ve got to be DIRTY. Not bathing and stubbly are two very different things.
1)Zeta Jones in Zorro
2)Charlize Theron in Italian Job
3)Catherine Bell in J.A.G.
So how?
Stacey: Fiesty yet sweet girl next doors. The kind that would wear a skirt, mild make up, be totally ku-niang one minute and take you out the next. I mean, have you met Laughing Bubbles. Generally always happy and easy-going… just don’t make her angry…..
whatever you silly caloRIE.
i lurrrrrve pweeety boys. you lurrrrrve scwuffy ones.
Zwie has BAD TASTE!
i just like them badddd.
Bad is one thing. Being able to actually handle bad is another.
i can handle them baddd. i just need them to be MINE.
I DO NOT HAVE BAD TASTE OK.
TO EACH HIS OWN, YOU SCRUFFYLOVER.
OH PLEASE!
