The Male Mind and The Girlmore Girls

Have you all the seen this Friendster site (www.friendster.com for those of you who haven't)? Who knew that you could spend 5 hours just looking at one site? Well, it can be done my friends, and has been by this crazy procrastinator you see before you.
So here I am looking up men who love the Gilmore Girls... Why you might ask? I might also add that this is really a fantastic question that I should have asked myself before leaping into the exploration of the sensitive male mind. I am not sure why exactly except that someone near and dear to me loves it, so I wanted to see if there were any other connecting factors between the boys and their love of the GGs. I mean, I guess I was trying to find out if they had similar tastes in books, or movies, or anything at all. Now, my next question would (or should) have been, is there any relevance to this research at all? And that, I suppose, is the question I am still trying to answer.
So far, I have concluded that I can put these GG loving boys into two categories: Those who don't love the GGs at all, but are lonely and want girls to like them and Those who actually do love them and tend to be the dark and brooding, argyle sweater wearing, sensitive "girly men" that the first type of man despises (while secretly wishing they could be them) and that crazy girls like myself love.
But are there any other connections between these boys? Let's see, I would have to say that the first type of guy is one of these "I like that one book I almost read in high school that all the girls told me was good, and music that is loud and obnoxious with no meaning whatsoever, I like football, and hanging out with my dawgs, and breaking biatches hearts, oh yeah... and the GGs." The second group fall more around the "I like really well written books that I have had in my collection for years, I like music with meaning and some soul, the tastes may vary but the underlying point is taken (by me at least), I might like sports and all of that but I am not an obnoxious machismo jerk about it, I might get a little moody sometimes but I am interesting, and I love the GGs."
So, what exactly does this mean to me, or you (although that's less important as I am the one who spent the 5 hours contemplating it)? Not much really. I guess it's just another little insight into the boys who seem so complicated to me.
Even in real life I like to separate the boys into two categories but these are much easier to define: Those who care and Those who don't. Maybe I am generalizing here but I think that the boys who really love the GGs are the ones who care. So maybe this can be a pre-dating question for us girls (and you boys who are of the persuasion) to ask. And maybe when you do, you can judge the response and put the boy into a care/non-care category. But, don't be alarmed if they say something along the lines of, "Gilmore Girls? Do they live in St. Louis? (or wherever you live)" because at least they are being honest.
