166.0. "I'm not typical, Your not typical" by NANOOK::SCOTT (Looking towards the sun) Sun Dec 07 1986 03:49


                    At the Latest HR party a  statement  was  made  to  the
               following:   What  is  the  TYPICAL WOMAN?  I'd sure like to
               know.   To  me  everyone  is  different  and  there  is   no
               "TYPICAL".   At  the  same  Time,  What  is the typical man?

               Still looking for the sun

166.1Typical, or STEREOtypical???MMO03::PNELSONA very, very happy ladySun Dec 07 1986 15:078
    I think if the question read "What is the STEREOtypical woman/man"
    there might be an answer.  But the question as stated is meaningless,
    because there is no such thing.  I guess both sexes have some traits
    that are often found, but I'd hate to think that someone thought
    of me as a "Typical Woman" instead of a unique person in my own
    right...

    Where I went to school, calling someone a TRG (Typical Rice Girl) was
    an insult implying a rather studious, plain girl with little or no
    social skills.  Maybe the term came out of the frustration on the guys
    part (there were about 3.14 guys per girl).  You certainly didn't
    use the term about anybody you cared about.
    

    P.S. They actually sold T-shirts in the bookstore reading on the front
    
	    "I go to Rice, I must be smart"
    
    and on the back:
    
    
    
	    "also Horny"

    Hey Lee-Baby --
    
      I don't know what a 'typical' woman is, but I do know what a 
    'typical' guy is:  "an inconsiderate slob"!!

166.7Does "typical" have a negative inference?BOBBY::REDDENLaser Lock ONFri Dec 12 1986 08:082
    What would you think about somebody whose aspiration was to become
    typical?
