Progressive Girl?
So after working very hard today - yes again - I took some time on the internet. I wasn't in the mood to write any emails (sorry!) but I found this really interesting website. It is called Cooking to Hook Up - it is for guys mostly to see what type of girls to date and how to cook for them. But me being attracted to quizzes wanted to find out what type of girl I am! After the questions, I found out I was a progressive girl. At first I really didn't feel like that was me so I took it again changing answers to ones that I had multiple answers. After five times, I still was a progressive girl. Parts of the description might not be me but I guess in my long lasting confused state regarding life, it might actually fit me well.
The Progressive Girl
Moderation in all things, excess in nothing. -- Epicurus
Imagine that the Girl Next Door moved to the big city. Think of Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally. She's America's sweetheart with an urban sensibility. She's a post-Christian spiritualist, a pre-Monica Clintonite, and a dues-paying member of at least one social-change organization like NOW, Planned Parenthood, or the Sierra Club. You won't find her at an Earth First or PETA meeting, though. Those are the Granola Girl's stomping grounds. Progressive Girls want the world to be a better place, but they live out their politics in a moderate, left-of-center way [possibly me - but it really does depend].
If you are going to date a Progressive Girl, the one sin you can commit is to be a chameleon. Molding your opinions to fit hers will lose her respect [I respect others opinions, especially Nathan's, but I love being right - just ask Nathan]. One very positive thing you can do is offer her new experiences -- the Progressive Girl is fearless [to some degree maybe] about trying new things. Whether it's pluralism, skydiving [I'm not so sure about that one], Asian peanut sauce, or this book, the Progressive Girl is always looking for new ideas.
She Might Be a Progressive Girl if:
She drives: a small SUV but really wishes it got better mileage; once she can get a good hybrid, she will. [Though I would also take Jetta any day]
She can talk for more than ten minutes about: just about anything.
She begins her sentences with: "Susan Sarandon says..." [not generally, but I do respect her most of the time]
She'd never: pass up the chance for a new experience. [again, it depends]
She owns any of the following: a water filter, a tabletop fountain, an acre of rain forest, a mutt from the pound. [yes - except maybe not an acre of rain forest and my dog mostly wouldn't be a mutt]
What do you think? Tell me if you think this is me or one of the other girls?!! The website is http://www.cookingtohookup.com/quiz/ It is pretty interesting! If you take it, let me know what you are! I would love to know.
