Ginger or Mary Ann?

That was the discussion last night.  Which type of man are you? they all asked each other.  A very serious question indeed!  Which type of woman do men prefer?

I found myself wondering which girl am I?  And which one do others think I am?  I said I'm more Mary Ann than Ginger.  My ex disagreed - he said I'm definitely a Ginger.  And he said it like it was his crowning achievement - "Hey, I bagged a Ginger!"  I knew that breaking up with him was a good idea.

What did he mean by that, anyway?  That I'm sexy?  An airhead?  Good in bed?  Funny, because what he loved most about me were my Mary Ann qualities:  I'm smart, sweet (most of the time), and a good cook.  Or so he said.  Maybe he was only with me because I'm good in bed.  

Why do woman have to be categorized as one type or the other?  I think I have traits of both - I may look like a Ginger, but at heart I'm really a Mary Ann.  I hope the next girl he dates really is a Ginger.  And the next guy I date hasn't even seen Gilligan's Island.
