Author Mcp Posted July 2, 2012 Author Posted July 2, 2012 most major cities have entire neighborhoods for hipsters. wicker park in chicago, williamsburg in nyc. i don't think it'd be that hard to find a trendy, quirky, imo annoying hot chick with bangs. Trouble is, I don't live in the US., so not as much choice.
manup Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 Well, first, that's incorrect, for if one person says otherwsie, it's not "everybody", that is, 100%. Second, organisations hire people who are trained to read people. Third, I said "like Zooey", which follows into the next thing: You can read quite a bit about her through various interviews and other writings. Unless you want to bring up some hard epistemology, it's pretty safe to assume a few general traits about people - in this case, Zooey; for example, I would assume she wouldn't go out and murder people... eventually, you can narrow things down to less obvious traits. In other words, someone in the general vicinity of her personality. I'm not putting her on a pedestal; I don't own a pedestal. But, really, you're statement is vague; care to elaborate on that? Do you want a hipster girl? You do realize hipster women are promiscuous, liberal, pretentious, fashion obsessed, druggies more often than not, etc... If you're into that then fine, your best bet is to be a hipster guy. Plaid, style, tattoos, drugs, facial hair, listen to indie bands, etc... And yes Zooey is a hipster, she is in a band with M. Ward, and was married to Ben Gibbard. And I don't mean to judge hipsters, I just don't think you have a good idea of what most of them are like.

And I don't mean to judge hipsters, I just don't think you have a good idea of what most of them are like. I never said I was looking for a "hipster". If Zooey is a "hipster", then, I guess I could be attracted to a type of hipster. I just liked what MrCastle wrote. The term is quite broad, anyway. When you say "liberal", what do you mean? Today, the term has lost so much meaning as the term gets thrown around a lot, and when someone says liberal, they could be meaning "conservative". For example, the "Liberal" Party in Australia is the conservative party. But, in your case, I think it would be the opposite of "conservative". I don't have issue with progressive thinking, otherwise we wouldn't have evolved beyond the primitive ideas of our ancesters. I don't think Zooey does drugs. You can listen to indie bands and not take drugs, and still be "hipster"; just like if you listen to metal - it doesn't mean you're a sociopath (I'm not saying that you're saying this, but some people do believe this). You're generalising a bit. As for my own understanding of hipsters, well, you can't really make that accusation and think you're right, but, well, you're perhaps right - I don't know the type too well, I guess. But, Zooey is a lot different from what you're trying to explain. Edited July 2, 2012 by Mcp

But, Zooey is a lot different from what you're trying to explain. Agreed. I'd more or less consider myself a hipster in some regards, and I'm clean shaven and drug free. As are the few hipster chicks I know. Just going by Zooey's personality, from what we can gather from her. She seems like an old soul. Very ladylike, and feminine. Always wearing dresses and stockings and doing her nails up in these quirky ways. She painted little tuxedos on them for some award show. She seems to like a lot of indie bands, as well as oldies. She doesn't mind being nerdy or making fun of herself. She definitely has a silly side. She also seems open minded and creative. That's just based on what I've seen in interviews and whatnot; I can be way off as I obviously don't know her personally but that's how she comes across.

I don't take drugs, yet could be seen as "liberal" for my other traits.
utterer of lies Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Meeting someone like Zooey Deschanel Zooey is a bit different from most other girls, and so I'm wondering, what kind of places, or where could I meet such a person? Zooey is a very creative and intelligent person. Because of this thread, I've watched a few episodes of New Girl. I had watched a show called 'Girls' before, by Lena Dunham. It's also about a creative, intelligent, but awkward girl. I am amazed at how different the two shows are. Dunham's show has what seems to me a realistic portrayal of people and their experiences, while the Zooey show is just typical TV bull**** with all the fake twists and contrived circumstances.
