Great post. I'd like to order a #11 - I'll even pay extra shipping and handling!
you forgot 14. Mr. Slob
11. A lot. Though, I fear that I've taken longer than I should to get through school (financial difficulties) has made me a bit of a 2.
You forgot a sterotype; the man's man.
I'm not gonna say I'm Mr. Right (obviously that's the best one haha), but I'm definitely striving to be that type of man.
I've got a #12. No joke. I got very lucky!
8, 9, and 11. (That was easy.)
If I fall in love with a best friend and nothing happens, THAT'S when I jet.
a little bit of 7,8,9,11,12 plus I'm narcissisisisisisisissistic? (call me?)
I'm a number 12 in training.
so what are the 12 types of women?
haha i have intellectual written all over me, minus the third disadvantage.
@PoeticSilences@xanga - I second this! We need a similar list for the 12 types of women!
LOL. i know #7 and #2... too bad mr right "only exist in disney movies :(
I have a combination of 5 and 8 (that was spot on- great post!).
Ugh, I've met the Creeper way too many times.
That's funny.
As I was going down the letters under Mr. Right, I said to myself, "Yes...yes...yes...yes..." then I got to the end and read "Disadvantages: a. Only found in old school Disney movies" and went, 'D'aw!! Shoot."
Entertaining post!
Mr. Intellectual ftw
Im like all of them combine n_n
i've known guys in all categories; don't think i know any guy who is in just one.
hahhaa. creeper reminds me of this one guy who used to bring me stacks of tamales and call my work with foot fetish questions. "can i smell your feet? what kind of shoes are you wearing?" hahahhahaa
haha i saw the female one but they only have 12. though the 13th one is possible.
i'd pick #8 mixed with #10.
