Venus + Mars = Vers? Manus? Marnus? Venars?

So I love tags, I really do. Especially when I'm suffering from writers block, as I am at the moment and I thought this one, from Mincat, who got it from the Bride, was a particularly good one. However, I was rather thrown by the complexity of their disclaimers, it wouldn't have occured to me to include one. They do make excellent points however, so instead of writing my own, I am directing you to their lovely pages.

Thusly, the following are my Manly Traits:

1. I LOVE Football, passionately. Being Indian, I am compelled to watch Cricket avidly, but my heart belongs to Football.

2. I am a devoted gamer. And I'm not bad either. Also in this vein, Star Wars fanaticism, as well as avid interest in most Sci-Fi and Fantasy.

3. I own three pairs of shoes. No really, just three. I have an anti-shoe fetish.

4. I am a power shopper. I simply can't browse (the only exception being bookshops, where I could spend eternity. Heaven for me would be an enormous bookshop with comfy chairs and a coffee shop), and I hate malls. Clothes shopping is an absolute nightmare, and I avoid it as much as possible. As a result, many of my clothes are more than ten years old, and I'm happy to say I can still wear some of them.

5. I do tend to be protective and chivalrous, though I can't stand simpering, damsel in distress type women. This is probably also a manly trait though. However I have just realised that I don't particularly like being on the recieving end of chivalry, I find it insulting if men think I can't carry my own bags or open doors without their help.

6. I am not terribly particular about clothing. I often wear things that have holes in them, or are crushed, and am not terribly fussed about what I am wearing. I also have low maintainance hair and make-up habits, so I'm perfectly happy walking in the rain.

7. I LOVE food. And am very capable of eating vast quantities of it, unapologetically.

My Womanly Traits:

1. I am obsessed with my weight. A great deal of my happiness depends on how much I weigh, which is deeply sad.

2. I love to bake.

3. It takes me forever to get ready. I dont know why it is so, but I simply can't rush the process.

4. I love to talk, about feelings. I'm not one for mush or sentimentality, but I'm not one to feel something and not share it either.

5. I LOVE Sex and the City. I'm sure I don't need to elaborate on this.

(I can't seem to think of anymore girly traits, though I'm sure they exist. Feel free to make suggestions!)

Also, Happy Budday Mincat. TheDragon loves you madly and hopes you have the best year ever.
