What Kind of Muffin Are You?

During a chat session the other night, a friend and I were discussing our changed views on what is attractive in men. In their twenties, women are really into the packaging.

In their forties, they are more interested in what's inside rather than outside. If a man is dependable, loyal, hardworking, kind, etc. As I put it to my friend, we are no longer interested in stud muffins, we're looking for bran muffins.

Over the next day or two, the idea of people (and personality traits) being assigned to muffins would just not go away. After some thought, I decided that I was probably a day-old banana-nut muffin. And here is why . . .

Banana = loving, gentle, soft, accepting
Nut = resilient, loyal, independent, crazy
Day old = past my prime

When I shared my mental muffin meandering with a friend over coffee today she couldn't decide upon a type of muffin that applied to her. She thought she might be a croissant, which according to her was flaky and filled with fat. I disagree, I think she'd be a boysenberry muffin.

I've taken the liberty of preparing a list of muffins and my perceived views on their personalities. Check them out and let me know what kind of muffin you are.

Pumpkin = cozy, welcoming, country, gentle
Corn = sentimental, traditional
Blueberry = popular, warm
Banana = carefree, loving, gentle, soft
Lemon Poppy seed = indecisive, loner
Nut = short tempered, resilient, loyal
Strawberry = passionate, bold
Carrot = sweet, normal, common
Chocolate Chip = party animal, upbeat, positive
Bran = loyal, dependable, solid
Apple = charming, enthusiastic
Orange = strong, centered, happy
zucchini/Squash = agreeable, blends easily
Boysenberry = fun, enthusiastic, bubbly

Feel free to send me back suggestions to add to the list.
