Mario or Luigi: Who Is the More Desirable Date?

You all remember Mario and Luigi: the Italian plumbers from Brooklyn who got roped into a weird, warped dimension that involved saving Princess Toadstool and defeating King Koopa?
Well, which one would you rather date?

Let me give you some facts: Mario was infatuated with Princess Toadstool and was the main character who was sent out to save her. He appears to be very outgoing, especially since his wardrobe choice is a bright red t-shirt and hat. You can also see in the picture that he is standing in a very aggressive pose: he will rip your eyes out.

On the other hand Luigi is a little more timid. He really wasn't involved with Princess Toadstool romantically (unless Mario and Luigi shared her, which is kind of icky). As you can see in the picture, he emits an awkwardness: his clothing doesn't fit right, his knees are bent as if he were about to give in to something, and he's putting his hand underneath his nose for no apparent reason. He was always second billing to Mario, so you kind of get the impression that he's just barely riding off his brother's success.

In my opinion, Mario seems like the ultimate thrill date: he's exciting, experienced and outgoing. He strikes me as the type of guy that would pick you up in his shiny new Corvette (red, of course), take you for a spin on the Thurway (he's no Freeway guy- he's going to try to impress you with the E-ZPass) at high speeds weaving through traffic, and then you go to the club for a night dancing and boozing. He might leave you for a moment or two, either he has another chick at the same club or he's riding the white horse, but he'll be back. He has only one thing on his mind... LASAGNA. And lasagna is exhilarating.

Luigi would take the subway to your apartment, whisk you away to an inexpensive out-of-the-way place that is loaded with charm. After dinner and stimulating conversation, you'd take a walk in the park and get some Italian Ice. As some of your dessert dribbles down your chin, Luigi awkwardly asks permission to wipe it off your face with his embroidered handkerchief. As you let him, he chuckles and you both have a "moment." He points out a subtle characteristic about a passerby which makes you think and yearn for more.

Mario sounds exciting to me, but I feel like Luigi would appreciate you more. I really can't decide, they both have such great qualities!

Who would YOU rather date?

Oh Liz, I checked out your blog, preparing to hate it, as I do all blogs, but you've won me over.
I'd totally date Luigi and let's just say he wouldn't be going home alone at the end of the night. If you're really dense,that means I'd have bibical style relations with him. I'm trying my best to keep this worker friendly as I'm writing it at work.
