Mini:

• Van?
• Skirt?
• Cooper?
• Mood?
• Bus?

Oh, but I didn't invent it ["vapid"].

Well, duh, but I like it. It fits the stereotyping mold, but still sounds highbrow.

Sometimes a glance at my bookshelf confuses people. This is when I tell them to drop their silly stereotypes.

I understand what you're saying but I would want more than just a "look" at her bookshelf. For example if I didn't see any fantasy or sci-fi I would ask her why that was. If she responded with some comment like "I think that stuff is stupid, it's not real life" or "I can never get into that stuff" that is when I'd bid her a hasty goodbye, better luck next time.

Well, okay, what is agreed is that a 'look' at the subject's bookshelf isn't enough. That gets a discussion started, and that is of prime importance to find out if this is a worthwhile companion material.

Although, if your occasional results are positive, it can be okay to be judged on happily superficial terms.
