Baby, Misfit, or Freak: The Quiz

This is sort of like the ol' animal, vegetable, or mineral with a new twist. You're tired of the boy-next-doors and you're certainly fed up with those good-for-nothing sissies. Rest easy, there's a whole other realm waiting to be explored. I won't lie to you, this may be the toughest bunch to stalk yet. That's why I'm giving you a chance to become better acquainted with them. This motley crew is so varied that you may not even know you're stalking one until it's too late!

On the other hand, you may be well aware of what you're getting into, but feel a sense of shame or embarassment due to some of their peculiar attributes. Keep in mind that things are not always as strange as they seem and that you're not alone in your infatuation with the fringe. Come on, freaks need love too.

If you think you wouldn't be caught dead chasing around a member of this menagerie, you may want to take a closer look at yourself. Those that are the quickest to judge are often misfits in denial. Make sure you're not living a lie before condemning others.

11-21 Baby


Congratulations! You're a cradle-robber. Don't fret though, with kids growing up so fast these days it's only natural to be attracted to them. You just might want to be a little low-key with your pursuit. When parents (or the law) get involved, things can get a bit sticky. Don't call any undue attention to yourself--you know, offering them candy or telling them their folks sent you to pick them up. Since this situation can be potentially imbalanced, make sure your heart is in the right place. No one watns to be manipulated. And remember, despite all the joy a child can bring into your life, there can be a downside. You may begin to question your decision when your new sweethehart starts laughing milk out their nose and complaining about curfew.

22-32 Misfit


Yes sir, you've got an oddball on your hands. In the old days we called them dorks. They do tend to be enigmatic. Maybe you want to find out what makes them tick or possibly you feel the need to take them under your wing. There's nothing wrong with wanting to root for the underdog, but don't get involved out of pity. Strange as they may seem, you'll be lucky if they even take notice of your advances. They're a tough nut to crack. Personalitites can range from the fairly functional to the overtly disturbed, while outwardly they appear normal and ordinary. You may not know you're even stalking a misfit until it's too late. This isn't to say that you could never win them over, but it's not always easy to compete with "Laverne and Shirley" re-runs and sound effect records.

33-43 Freak


So you're pursuing on helluva strange brew, what now? The forbidden and unknown can be enticing for some. And why not, day to day existence gets old after a spell. With stalkees becoming a dime a dozen it makes sense to opt for the otherworldly. The odds just may be in your favor too, there's probably little if any competition for this breed. Often their outward appearance is enough to put most off, but then you've never been one to judge a book by its cover. You should either be commended or have your head checked. However, these guys are very often endowed with a super human gift, and if it's precognition you could be in a heap of trouble. No matter how sly and crafty you are they're going to be one step ahead of the game. Just approach them subtly and clear your mind of all negative energy because if your plans backfire they could make life very tough for you. Recall all the havoc wreaked by those cuddly Gremlins and you'll get the idea.
