Do you have a crush archetype? Er, a "type" I guess? SPILL IT! This way we will all know who to fix our fellow ilxors up with!

nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 12 February 2004 16:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I know, not another crush thread, right? TOO BAD.

nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 12 February 2004 16:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Lately I'm prone to bouts of swooning over...

A) Angelina Jolie-like big-lipped big-eyed obviously insane/possibly extraterrestrial girls
2) very tiny Kylie Minogue-esque girls who are a good foot+ shorter than me
D)girls whose eyes (like mine) move independently of one another

nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 12 February 2004 16:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Argh, I thought this was a carry-on from my old thread about the archetypal crushes, rather than actual crush archetypes. Sigh.

All my crushes have something in common. I blame Shaggy off Scooby Doo.

The River Kate (kate), Thursday, 12 February 2004 16:46 (twenty-two years ago)

jody (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 12 February 2004 16:47 (twenty-two years ago)

they all look a bit like Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes.
A toy/real tiger is optional

jellybean (jellybean), Thursday, 12 February 2004 16:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Joanne Catherall from the Human League (early 80s vintage).

Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Thursday, 12 February 2004 16:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Generally quite tall, but slender and with dark hair. As far as hairstyle either shaved off or past the ears, I have an aversion to short back and sides. A nice speaking voice is also urgent and key, but that varies too much from person to person.

Anna (Anna), Thursday, 12 February 2004 16:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Very short hair, very long eyelashes. Big upper arms. Slightly clumsy or look lost.

Archel (Archel), Thursday, 12 February 2004 16:53 (twenty-two years ago)

"Entire Nation Crushes on Girl in Record Shop" to thread.

I Like To Stare At: er, superindie girls like in that article.

I actually crush on: all types all over the place.

Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 12 February 2004 16:56 (twenty-two years ago)

oh my god I have so many crush archetypes. it seems kind of uncool to list physical characteristics, but I like women from all racial and ethnic and religious backgrounds that are not my own whitey self, as well as those that are and have brown hair/blue eyes (going back to 1st grade), women with black long straight hair, & redheads.

more importantly and more pervasively: sarcastic women, spooky women, actresses, writers, firebrands, and women who love to dance more than they actually CAN dance

Begs2Differ (Begs2Differ), Thursday, 12 February 2004 16:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh and I'm a sucker for long fingers when I notice them, but I rarely do.

Anna (Anna), Thursday, 12 February 2004 16:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Britpop fashion for girls was absolutely the best thing ever to happen to my teenage libido.

Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 12 February 2004 16:58 (twenty-two years ago)

PPS: curse you, Winona Ryder.

Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 12 February 2004 16:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm also a sucker for redheads and people who (like myself) feel compelled to sing loudly at all times.

nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 12 February 2004 16:59 (twenty-two years ago)

And if she constantly speaks in onomotopeia it's all over.

nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 12 February 2004 17:00 (twenty-two years ago)

This happens to you a lot?

Anna (Anna), Thursday, 12 February 2004 17:01 (twenty-two years ago)

OMG Nick has a crush on Zoe from Sesame Street!

Begs2Differ (Begs2Differ), Thursday, 12 February 2004 17:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Britpop fashion = for shit! Do you live in America Andrew?

Long dark hair + fair skin = sigh

ENRQ (Enrique), Thursday, 12 February 2004 17:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, hey, I'm not that picky...

Prude (Prude), Thursday, 12 February 2004 17:06 (twenty-two years ago)

girls who dont use the internet and other assorted flavors

kephm, Thursday, 12 February 2004 17:07 (twenty-two years ago)

I like big butts.

Bryan (Bryan), Thursday, 12 February 2004 17:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I could potentially write the longest post of my ILE career right here, but I'll keep it short and not about body particulars: Tattooed rock chicks with soft hair and nice mouths. Elegant but quirky dames. Any woman who can knock me out with her wit and sassitude. Intelligence is key for every archetype. And if she *struts*, I'm as good as gone.

Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Thursday, 12 February 2004 17:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Bobbed hair; skinniness; unattainability. I bore myself.

Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Thursday, 12 February 2004 17:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Personally, I don't want to analyse. But, hmm, ex-arts students for real. Passive aggressives, dreamers, smokers...

jody (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 12 February 2004 17:33 (twenty-two years ago)

oh yeah. duh.

Stupids2Differ (Begs2Differ), Thursday, 12 February 2004 17:36 (twenty-two years ago)

damn I sounded like Aja.

Begs2Differ (Begs2Differ), Thursday, 12 February 2004 17:36 (twenty-two years ago)

What?

luna (luna.c), Thursday, 12 February 2004 17:37 (twenty-two years ago)

brunette (longish)
glasses, which when removed, reveal sexy, magical eyes
smarts
liftable (which i guess is a nicer way of saying 'not fat')

that's about it. recently i realised that that's virtually a description of MY MOTHER. i'm gonna try not to spend too much time pondering on that cos i think it's more common (if perhaps dubious) than people think only they may not realise - i'm saying it's probably quite natural to be attracted to someone whose basic attributes vaguely resemble that of their parents - i sure hope so anyway...or shall i just go and sit other way away from the rest of you guys?

(my favourite Greek Myth is Prometheus & Pandora anyway)

stevem (blueski), Thursday, 12 February 2004 17:43 (twenty-two years ago)

*Always* glasses? A lot of ILX0rs say similar, and I don't get it -- not that I *dislike* glasses, I wear a pair myself.

Sadly my tastes remain as indie as they were 6 or 7 years ago.

NRQ (Enrique), Thursday, 12 February 2004 17:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Ha ha, I mean, my crush archetype is tall, skinny, long dark shaggy hair, long face and large nose. Which is exactly my father. Sigmund who?

The River Kate (kate), Thursday, 12 February 2004 17:45 (twenty-two years ago)

why do you think i'm on ILX so much Enrique? ;)

stevem (blueski), Thursday, 12 February 2004 17:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah... but you can't *see* these ILX0rs. I PH34R that event.

NRQ (Enrique), Thursday, 12 February 2004 17:48 (twenty-two years ago)

i have seen many of them both on screen and in person

stevem (blueski), Thursday, 12 February 2004 17:49 (twenty-two years ago)

heh that makes them sound like film stars, which is only true in Spencer's case (but i've not met him)

stevem (blueski), Thursday, 12 February 2004 17:50 (twenty-two years ago)

the beardy lady.

Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Thursday, 12 February 2004 17:50 (twenty-two years ago)

MODS

I may at some point try to use mentalist Schopenhauer reasoning to prove backwards that this means I am clearly not a mod

ferg (Ferg), Thursday, 12 February 2004 17:51 (twenty-two years ago)

heh that makes them sound like film stars, which is only true in Spencer's case (but i've not met him)

Spencer is definitely crush-worthy (and I have met the lad), though I've never had crushes meself...

Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Thursday, 12 February 2004 17:53 (twenty-two years ago)

are you asexual?

stevem (blueski), Thursday, 12 February 2004 17:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Not a chance, Stevem. Why limit myself to just one type of man, when there's such variety?

Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Thursday, 12 February 2004 17:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Nichole, yesterday.

Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 12 February 2004 18:02 (twenty-two years ago)

that could be any day really

stevem (blueski), Thursday, 12 February 2004 18:04 (twenty-two years ago)

that sounds kind of cool to me

Ha, it sounds like the inspiration for a roman a clef is what it sounds like.

jaymc, Friday, 29 August 2008 03:41 (seventeen years ago)

Lately my archetype seems to be well-spirited nerdish girls with fancy round asses who laugh at the dopey shit I say and also they live almost 2 hours away in Minneapolis so I can't date them.

RabiesAngentleman, Friday, 29 August 2008 04:30 (seventeen years ago)

hey fuck off, that one's mine

Jordan, Friday, 29 August 2008 04:37 (seventeen years ago)

well i actually live there, so

gbx, Friday, 29 August 2008 04:38 (seventeen years ago)

"fancy"?

horseshoe, Friday, 29 August 2008 04:39 (seventeen years ago)

Should I have used "deluxe"...?

RabiesAngentleman, Friday, 29 August 2008 04:43 (seventeen years ago)

Fancy is great!

it's always one of the two:

also: not too tall; energetic, in sync with his feminine side; intelligent, obedient, talks more than me

warmsherry, Wednesday, 26 November 2008 01:18 (seventeen years ago)

What's that first picture?

I usually go for smart, sweet academic type girls ... but uhhh, they're unfortunately few and far between.

burt_stanton, Wednesday, 26 November 2008 02:06 (seventeen years ago)

or at least they're hard to meet out here in shit town

Lady Gorgorrand (ENBB), Wednesday, 26 November 2008 02:09 (seventeen years ago)

I feel like I should be saying women at this p0oint but i'm still not...hooray perpetual adolescence:

girls who make frequent eye contact, laugh without hesitation, and do a lot of friendly shoving
girls who accessorize/layer well for cold weather on their bicycle
girls who do that dance where they point one finger into the sky

mAybe not 'archetypes" exactly but you get it

venom boners are totally canon (nickalicious), Wednesday, 26 November 2008 02:17 (seventeen years ago)

even the smartest, sweetest academic type girls can appear bit dull and sour in the wrong company, burt_stanton.

estela, Wednesday, 26 November 2008 02:17 (seventeen years ago)

I don't know enough girls to have a crush archetype but I can imagine quite a few I would like
-a girl named elise that is sweet, outgoing, and has curly hair, a sexual being, etc..
-nerdy girl that laughs funny and is really cute but secretly half-way sinister
-a good-looking "book smart" girl with a tough shell and sweet mushy stuff inside
-a girl that makes sexual advantages on me and is not obese or really ugly
-an foreign girl with dark hair and is petite and beautiful

yeah really hard to find shy nerdy girls in brooklyn *rolls eyes*

:) Mrs Edward Cullen XD (max), Wednesday, 26 November 2008 03:46 (seventeen years ago)

recent/common crushes have included:
-metal dudes with clean and well-combed long hair (i kind of hate myself for this)
-hippies with long hair - cleanliness not required, within reason - and friendly, open personalities (no luck here though, these guys like hippie girls with long hair and friendly, open personalities, and i am a nerdy girl with short hair whose shyness hides sarcasm and profanity)
-hardcore catholics who like to argue about medieval theology (there was a year and a half in which i ONLY was interested in these guys, which was frustrating because i'm not catholic and most of them are going into the priesthood. seriously.)

Maria, Wednesday, 26 November 2008 03:47 (seventeen years ago)

-an foreign girl with dark hair and is petite and beautiful (I want to add that skinny can take place of petite)

Do it! Do it!

I actually found out that one of these crushes - my longest one, actually, lasted all four years of college - is now single (I'm told his girlfriend of three years recently dumped him). He's now in my city, in theology grad school. I finally got over the crush last year, but I think I should get back in touch anyway.

Maria, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 03:12 (seventeen years ago)

I discovered earlier this year that my single biggest high school crush has been living here in Portland for the last 9 years. I tracked her down and now we are really good friends after a 20 year gap.

There doesn't seem to be anything good natured about it. You seem to have something negative and mean to say to me on a lot of threads lately, and I wonder if it's something personal or if you just get your kicks being a douchebag on the internet.

-utter nutjob attention seeking freaks who suddenly decide they don't want *that* much attention when I give them some

I sense a recurring theme.

three years pass...

buzza, Saturday, 4 February 2012 05:57 (fourteen years ago)

four years pass...

Werner Herzog - When I get home from work, Werner is doing the vacuuming. He says, "The carpet is an endless expanse of war and suffering." If I'm unhappy, he brings me a kitten and a toasted English muffin with too much butter. While I eat the muffin, he says, "That small cat would kill you if it could. In its cold eyes there is no intelligence, only murder."

Lars von Trier - While Werner fixes sausages, Lars and I sit out on the back porch drinking sophisticated Danish beer (the kind he likes). He tells me that he empathizes with Hitler, and I smile at him because I know he's only trying to push my buttons. I understand him really, really well. We both pretend not to hear Werner when he calls us in for dinner.

George Clooney - Sometimes I go over to George and Amal's ranch on the weekend. George says, "Gee, I just got some new ponies. They're really swell. Would you like to go for a ride?" I say, "Yes, George. I'd love to go for a ride with you on your new ponies. I can already tell they're a lot better than the old ones." We ride the chaparral together, and he looks so perfect up there in his not-really-all-that-expensive jeans. Amal has to stay behind, but she's cool about it and makes us finger sandwiches for later.

point is someone makes me food
