QUIZ: How Butch Are You?

4/1/2013

11 Comments

 
I get a lot of questions about how to know if you're butch.  For many of us, this can be something *really* important to figure out.  The following five-question quiz is a great guideline to help you figure out where you fall on the butchness spectrum.  Keep track of how many A's, B's, and C's you get.
1. If you had to pick one of the following, would you say you have:
a. Too many watches or ties
b. Too many sweatshirts or baseball caps
c. Just the right amount of all four items
2. Hold your right pinky finger against your left thumb.  Which is longer (measure from the base of each finger)?
a. pinky
b. thumb
c. they're exactly the same
3. If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have one type of entertainment, which would you choose?
a. A set of weights, a basketball, and a basketball hoop
b. An iPod loaded with your favorite music
c. Several dozen of your favorite books, plus a pen and paper
4. Have you ever broken a bone?
a. Yes, and I went to the doctor.
b. Probably, but I don't like doctors so I don't go.
c. Nope.
5. Of the following three options, would you prefer to vacation in:
a. The Galapagos Islands, to check out wildlife
b. Tokyo, to immerse yourself in a fast-paced city
c. The next county over, because there are cool things close to home
Finished?  Okay, now tally up your answers.  Give yourself:
1 point for every "A"
2 points for every "C"
3 points for every "B"

Add up all the points (you should get between 5 and 15 points). Then make the following adjustments:
  • Add one point to it if you have 5 or more neckties, and two points if you have 10 or more neckties. 
  • Take away one point if you've ever had sex with someone you consider more butch than yourself.
  • Add one point if you have a dog (no extra points for additional dogs).

Got your number?  Click here to see what your score means.

Forgetting that it was April Fools, I started reading this and was just getting super frustrated and dissapointed that you would even put this up. Glad to see it was just a joke.

I got "Ha--you're so NOT butch that you make Portia DeRossi look like k.d. Lang!" but I'm still pretty excited about it because I'll take anything that lets me be associated with either Portia or k.d. in even the most peripherial way, lol :P

I was looking forward to an April fools joke, but when I read the header I figured you weren't in the mood, so I didn't take the time to read it till just now. You had me up until getting points for having sex with someone more butch than you. Ha.

Ha ha You got me on that! And I'm not even Butch - but wanted to find out just in case - the little finger to thumb was very clever, but such discrepancy I began to wonder...
