    I don't like much of it, really. Some chick flicks are worth a watch, and the odd book.

    Love chocolate, though!

    What say you all?

    Where's the "none of the above" option?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,256 ✭✭✭metaoblivia


    Chocolate
    Can't stand chick flicks or chick lit. I do like shopping, although not for long. Well, I like clothes - unique, elegant, well made clothes. I like make up and I guess I like bath stuff. I like spas, so I figured that could be included in bath stuff.
    Not a big fan of chocolate. Hate dark chocolate and not too fond of any kind of pure chocolate, even in small quantities.
    I do like girly cocktail drinks.

    @RainbowKirby: Exxxxxxxactly.

    I want one! Tried to go back and edit it, but it wouldn't let me.

    Mmmmmmm, spas. Such an indulgence! I've got a gift certificate to a spa and I can't wait to book my appointment. But I digress.

    None of the other things on the list strike me, but let me tell you what I do love: housewares. I could spend hours and hours and hours picking out stuff for our home.

    Not that that's particularly girly, but it's not particularly boy-y, either. Heh.

    Bath stuff. I'm convinced at this stage the staff at Lush and other such places see me coming through the big glass window as I always seem to leave with oodles of bubble producing ungents.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,285 ✭✭✭BanzaiBk


    Possibly the only girlvantage I like is not getting funny looks when I buy moisturiser. Also, better hats.

    I love dinnerware. I'm as picky with it as I am my clothes, but when I do find that perfect plate set, it's love. One of my proudest possessions is my Wedgewood fine china collection. No, I've never had a dinner party. I just like looking at it.

    Being a "Mr" and all, does my opinion on liking girly stuff count? :D


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 17,231 Mod ✭✭✭✭Das Kitty


    Not into any of the above options with the odd exception.

    I do like sewing, knitting and baking though which are considered by many to
    be girly things.:P

    How is chocolate girl stuff??????:(


    I like Chick Flicks, Chick Lit(Sometimes, much more of a fantasy nerd though Magicians rule:D), Bath stuff and Chocolate.


    I dislike Shopping (For myself, quite like going with friends) and I don't have a need for Makeup.

    I am realising just how female I am :(. Gayest straight guy in Ireland I think:P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,150 ✭✭✭✭Malari


    Chick lit
    Hmm, finding it hard to tick any of the boxes! If I say I like shopping it gives the wrong impression! If I need a certain item for my wardrobe I like being able to find the "right thing", but just going in and out of every shop in town on a Saturday with no agenda...hate that!

    I like make-up, but I have y'know one of everything I need, so don't buy any excess stuff. As someone mentioned, cocktails or girly nights at the wine bar are great :D

    Don't do baths, have chocolate infrequently, HATE chick lit!

    I've been known to get a kick out of the odd chick flick though :) Usually something a little alternative. Can't wait to see that new Zooey Deschanel movie (love her...)

    I love a good chick flick... not into lit!!
    Give me chocolate and make up and you'll make me happy:D

    But I hate smelly bath stuff:mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,127 ✭✭✭Linguo

    Can't stand chick lit, give me good fiction, sci-fi or fantasy any day!

    Not really into chick flicks either unless it's genuinely a good story, dying to see the time traveller's wife but to me it's not in that genre...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,252 ✭✭✭✭Madame Razz


    I like make-up, and Lush.

    I also like shopping, but I don't think that's exclusively 'chicky'.

    Chick lit and films.....I'd rather gouge out my own eyes, with the exception of Jilly Cooper, tho I don't think that's quite chick lit tbh.

    And I like dark chocolate occasionally but so do several male friends that I know, so I don't think that's exclusively female either.

    I do have an Ugg boot air freshner thingy hanging off my rear view mirror tho:o

    I ticked Bath Stuff even though I don't have baths cause I really like the soap and shower gels in Lush.

    I kinda like chocolate in the sense that sometimes I'm hungry and I have tea and a bar and it keeps me going till I have something proper. If I was told I could never have chocolate again it wouldn't bother me much.

    I don't like any of the other things in the list but as has already been mentioned I like housey things and dinnerware. I <3 Ikea and Denby. :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,085 ✭✭✭Xiney


    Chocolate
    I hate chick lit. Not that big of a fan of shopping although I like it more when I have money.

    Love makeup, and fancy bath stuff (like Lush) and I do have a soft spot for certain chick flicks like Love Actually and 10 Things I Hate About You.

    Could eat chocolate every day.

    I need chocolate every day,it is a staple part of pandas daily food intake!

    Yeah like everything on the list, I mean who doesnt like baths! Not a 'chick lit' reader, except for the bodice ripping Philipa Gregory books which I love.

    I'm pretty sure I'm keeping them single handedly afloat- I buy all my shampoos, conditioners/hair treatments, shower gels and cleansers from them :( I'm scared to add it up.

    That certainly makes me feel better about buying gifts for other girls! Here I was thinking it was a cliché.

    Just chocolate,really. Although in fairness,my love for chocolate more than makes up for it. :D

    The girly stuff I like includes Barbie, Flower Fairies, Rainbow Brite, horses and ponies... And I'm a 38-year-old man. I don't see any of those things on your poll.

    Bath Stuff, esp Lush bath ballistics.

    But I don't think they are girle stuff, I know men who like some of them too.

    I like make up. Was in New York over the summer and the Sephora stores were amazing, I could literally spend hours in them and not get bored!

    Chick flicks are ok, I guess. I mean, I like movies in general so it just depends on my mood what I'll watch but I'm not one of those "I only like chick flicks" girls! I also haven't even seen Pretty Woman, Dirty Dancing and most of the other classics! I do like a good cry over The Notebook though :rolleyes:

    Not into chick lit really, find it all pretty much the same. That being said, I loved PS, I Love You! :o

    Bath stuff.... Ugh! The smell of those Lush stores alone makes me feel sick. I hate baths. I'm a clean freak, two showers a day but I haven't taken a bath in years and I hate those sickly sweet kinda products.

    Chocolate is nice. It wouldn't be a favourite of mine though. For a treat, I'd much prefer a Chinese takeaway or a pizza or something and a glass of wine. :)

    Loooove cocktails, they're quite girlie! Also LOVE shopping. Anywho knows me, knows that I have a serious problem! I've been great lately though 'cause I am in so much debt after New York but Friday is pay day and I will be hitting the shops hard on Saturday! My favourite girlie thing EVER! :D

    Make-up/cosmetics (apart from tanning products), fashion, lingerie.

    Just appearance-related stuff really - nothing "girlie" when it comes to film, music, TV, literature. And when I say "fashion", I don't mean "what's in fashion".

    Oh yeah, lingerie. I've always been a tshirt/tank top and pj pants/undies kinda girl, but I've bought a few pieces of lingerie over the past few years and I really enjoy wearing it.

    I love certain romantic movies though, like Atonement and The End of The Affair. And old ones like Brief Encounter and Casablanca.

    They're all really sad... :(

    I'm a sucker for "the illusionist" if that counts...
    I haven't seen Atonement, if it's the one with that godawful KK in it I'm not sure I will...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    I always found her rather mediocre as an actress... until Atonement. She is outstanding in it.
