THE 27 TYPES OF MEN
--ACHILLES: Sophisticated and charming, but also flawed and needy. Think of HUGH GRANT in. . . well. . . basically every single Hugh Grant movie.
--ADONIS: Obsessed with his body, usually sports a FAKE-AND-BAKE TAN!!! GOVERNOR ARNOLD in the mid-80's, and HULK HOGAN, are prime examples.
--ALPHA MALE: Extremely competitive, lives for the next deal. In the movie "Wall Street", it would be the MICHAEL DOUGLAS character.
--BACKPACKER: Sexy but dangerous; a relationship day tripper. This is a JAMES BOND type.
--CHAMELEMAN: Adaptable, smooth, urbane and attractive. . . but never the man you think he is. Ferris in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off".
--CLUB MAN: Blazers, old school ties, Polo shirts. Into male bonding. Like Eric "Otter" Stratton, rush chairman, damn glad to meet you, in "Animal House".
--COOL POSER: Fashion-conscious. Like many of the is-he-or-isn't-he "American Idol" rejects.
--CORPORATE MAN: Relishes security, a follower not a leader, but faithful. Something like a BEN STILLER character in just about any movie.
--GADGETMAN: Techno-freak, poor eyesight. Insular and socially inept. Like Milton in "Office Space".
--JEFFREY: Social animal in a world of half-truths. Compelling character. These are JIM CARREY-style characters. . . like Truman in "The Truman Show".
--JESTER: Loves laughter and an audience, but prone to melancholy. Like ANDY KAUFMAN.
--LIBMAN: Pro-feminist male, politically correct, very well read. The transfer student Gregory in "South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut".
--MANCHILD: Aging stud with rich tastes and little dignity. Someone like AUSTIN POWERS.
--MR. ANGRY: Moody, aggressive. . . but doesn't see his actions as damaging. Could be Wolverine in "X-Men".
--MURDOCH: Napoleonic self-belief, usually justified. Ruthless, untiring. Mr. Burns on "The Simpsons" is a Murdoch.
--NEANDERTHAL: Anti-feminist with outdated views on relationships. Think ARCHIE BUNKER in "All in the Family". . . or Cartman from "South Park", once he grows up.
--PREACHER: Fundamentalist views. Single-minded, fervent and intense. You can find many of these types in South Carolina.
--RISKER: Optimistic and overdrawn at the bank, likes to push his luck. Like JACK BLACK in "School of Rock".
--ROMANCER: Calculating seducer. . . dislikes women but pursues them. VINCE VAUGHN in "Swingers" is a romancer.
--ROTTWEILER: Beer drinker who loves his friends and his country. Like the singing Irishman who had his arm around you at the pub for three hours last night.
--SIGMUND: Lots of inner angst, low self-esteem. . . but reliable and caring. This would be KEVIN SPACEY. . . before he goes nuts. . . in "American Beauty".
--TEDDY BEAR: Sensitive, vulnerable and a good listener. . . but not sexy. In "The Lord of the Rings" movies, this is Samwise Gamgee. . . or Ross on "Friends".
--TRAINSPOTTER: Middle-aged, plenty of brown cardigans, and obsessed with data collection. Think of your nerdy accountant uncle. . . or Chandler on "Friends".
--UNIFORM MAN: Emotionally insecure. Rigid, brittle temperament. LARRY DAVID in "Curb Your Enthusiasm" is a uniform man.
--WALLFLOWER: Un-ambitious couch potato with predictable behavior. Like Al Bundy on "Married With Children".
--WAYNE: Heroic, unchanging, loyal and steadfast. Think JOHN WAYNE. . . obviously.
--ZEBEDEE: Floundering and confused. Needs nurturing. Unreflective but busy. Kramer on "Seinfeld" is a perfect Zebedee.
