What’s Your Dating Personality?
Saturday night. After Thai dinner, chocolate desserts, several bottles of wine, and a pot of coffee, my friends and I find ourselves huddled around a table for 5 at a local diner at 4am. Topic of discussion? “How do you think you are perceived by the opposite sex?” We take turns sharing our opinions of ourselves as well as our opinions about what others think of our “selves”. I ask Stan for a man’s opinion. According to him, “Stolie, men get the impression that you’re an easy lay because you’re so outgoing and boisterous; but, then they quickly realize that you’re not going to sleep with them and that you’re fun but you are actually a really serious person, too.”
Hmmm … Interesting. I don’t what to think about that just yet.
On Sunday, I have a similar conversation with my friend DJ and his super-fabulous friend Rajit. This time the topic of discussion is: “Which Sex and the City character do you most resemble?” DJ thinks that my personality is like Carrie’s; Rajit thinks that I’m more like Carrie with a bit of Samantha mixed in. To get a professional opinion, I take the test at iVillage. Apparently, the personality test scores me something like: 50% Carrie (curious, witty, quirky); 30% Miranda (cynical, pragmatic); 20% Samantha (bold, liberated, larger than life); and 0% Charlotte. Now, it is your turn to take the test.

Screw Charlotte! Just kidding – I’ve never watched the show. All part of getting rid of the tv. I got: 60% Carrie, 20% Samantha, 20% Miranda and 0% Charlotte. Hmmm. I’m not sure what that means, but quizzes are fun so it doesn’t matter. =)

50% carrie, 20% Miranda and Charlotte, %10 Samantha.
So I’m a funny, clever, cynical romantic with just the tinsiest touch of dirty tramp–er, empowered maneater.
I like those OK cupid tests. I should take it again to see if I’ve changed again…

I could see you being like Carrie.

I got 30% Miranda, 30% Carrie, 30% Charlotte, and 10% Samantha. WHATEVER! I thought my Miranda quotient would be higher!
Anyhoo, I’m finally catching up on my regular dose of Stolie — I didn’t realize all that stuff about “the neighbor.” He’s scarier than I thought! STAY AWAY! I don’t want to read about poor “damn, I got stabbed” Stolie!

I’m a romantic…
Charlotte – 40%
Carrie – 30%
Miranda – 20%
Samantha – 10%
Of course, I haven’t dated in quite some time. I think I would have scored much higher on the Samantha scale in days gone by…

30% Miranda, 30% Charlotte, 20% Carrie and 20% Samantha. Hmmm?

Since it seems to be relevant to either females or gay men I’ll pass on the test.
I will self-appoint myself Mr. Big, though, mainly because I can’t think of any other males on the show.

Wow…No wonder i’m such a mess:
40% Charlotte
30% Samantha
20% Miranda
10% Carrie
I’m looking to be a brazen hussy with my night in shining armour who better not be too flighty or unstable but should be more than a hot body.
Oye!

I got 50% Miranda, 30% Carrie and 10% of Samantha and Charlotte.
May 15th, 2006 at 3:29 pm
60% Carrie
30% Charlotte
10% Samantha
No Miranda! I thought my Miranda would be higher…or at least exist!

I have a friend that men made that mistake about too. She went to Dallas for a football game with a guy and then Sunday night she calls me from her mom’s house asking me to pick her up at the airport Monday evening.

I love that conversation! I’m ging to have to pose that question the next time I’m with my friends.
60% Carrie
20% Samantha
20% Charlotte
0% Miranda
May 15th, 2006 at 8:35 pm
50% Carrie
20% Miranda
20% Charlotte
10 Amanda
Not sure what that means… I’d figure I’d be more romantic Charlotte — maybe it’s because I’ve been out of the active dating scene for too long (NOT BY CHOICE)
I’m almost ready to do the blind date thing…. (EEEKKKK!!!!)

afp763389: Your lunch is open?
Anita: Wow! You got 0% Charlotte, too??? :)
Sid: You’re more like Charlotte than Samantha???? ;)
AWE: That’s what a lot of guys tell me. :)
Bro: I would have figured you to be 80 / 20 – Miranda / Charlotte. I’m surprised that you got 10% Samantha!!!!
MamaChristy: I could have guessed that you’d be a romantic.
Mel Chickk: Very well-rounded!
Barry S.: Okay, tomorrow I’ll put up a post for men — gay, straight, bi, and everything in between.
Lola: Hope you find it; sounds like it could be fun.
goldennib: I kind of picked up on the cynical side a bit. ;)
missbhavens: Perhaps all of these years in New York has changed you? Though, I think it would make us all MORE not less Miranda-y.
Raymond: Wait, so, she didn’t go to the game? Or, she flex in for the game only and then flew back out??
Anhoni Patel: Yeah, that topic is always a winner with a group of friends. It’s even better when you get a guy or two to chime in and give the male perspective.
ET: Blind dates can be fun. I’ve got on a couple in my life, and they weren’t really that bad.

Stolie:
You have described a typical night with me and my girlfriends. 4 am is a perfect time to be huddled around ice cream and french fries in a local NYC diner.
And your friend used nearly the exact words to describe you as my friends often do… “Men think you will be easy because you are so outgoing and flirtatious, but then they get closer and realize you are not.”
I can so identify. And for the record. I am %100 Carrie.
Thanks for stopping by girl.

No prob. I love your site. :)

If only you knew how my day was going. I was searching for one thing and I ended up here. Now you see how that might affect me!

Lemme guess …
Your “day” wasn’t really “going” anywhere. This is a spammer post generated from Wilmington, DE.
You simply did a Google search for “blogspot dating”, saw that my blog came up on the list, clicked it, and then posted a “comment”. But, your comment has nothing to do with my blog; it’s really just a spam to promote your credit-repair website.
How’s that for a guess?
