I want to read these, but I know I'll over identify with each of them, no matter how ludicrous, and then just feel awful about myself all night.

Is emo metafilter post writer one of the types??? Oh no, I'm doing it again.

They kind of remind me of cheap stereotypes I've heard now and again, but that doesn't really count as "someone I know".

I don't know- Eric reminds me a lot of a guy I know, if you replace "Quit cigarettes but still bums them" with "Has an off-again/on-again relationship with cocaine."

What is it that makes this seem so misogynistic?

Medusa, I was wondering that, too. And why are almost all the dogs over the human age of forty assigned such pathetic lives and personalities, including all the "middle-aged" female dogs? I found this kind of stupid and unfunny, actually.

I want a picture of a female lab mix with a greying muzzle, half an ear missing, wearing a canine life jacket and a water helmet and carrying a Greenland paddle in her mouth while sitting in a neon green playboat, with the description: "Tessa, 47. Rolls her kayak in 40° F waters 'to cool off.' Once, while shooting the Boh, wrestled a crocodile for the last chocolate peanut butter Luna bar and won."
