Seriously don't pick favs it can ruin friendships! Lol nah its okay I understand, but being realistic an Apple Jack or twilight sparkle is a really good choice. Actually early twi will drive you crazy but is reliable and will adjust to you like modern twi. Voted aj here...reliable and doesn't need many lessons on friendship lol No flutters or rainbow. Just like her to let some baddie trash your place and rainbow never pays the freaking bills! Oh geez personal experience is harsh!

Wow its funny almost turning 30 and reading through this topic. Let me change this up a bit. I actually dont hate any them but i can order them in how i could relate with each as though they are groups from real life experience. When i read things like arrogance, shallow, boring, etc it makes me realize i have to try to overcome those to try to understand people better. Let me explain: 1. Twilight - (Okay, way to easy. My wife associates me when we watch episodes and i cant disagree. Shes not perfect, has some flaws but tries to act like they dont matter and it gets her in trouble. Shes a 'balance' character which means..yeah..not much in the ways of personality except to be there for friends. Thats me in real life and unfortuantly that means i dont look out for myself all the time..Im learning people Im learning lol. Overall easy to get along with these people, not many friends but they keep BEST friends...can be very good people to goto when things are tough.) 2. Dash - (Wow okay this one. Ive always aspired to be confident when i was younger..didnt have it. So what did i do. I tried to make friends with people that seemed to have an abundance. At first it was hard to do, this in my days in middle and high school i was the 'nerd' who stuck up for people and that got me talking to groups i normally wouldnt associate with. But in the end I could befriend anyone that listened. Guess what..i have a friend that comes off VERY arrogant and in a way i think they know it too. He makes tons of bad decisions, has trouble relating to people now that hes older and wants to really change his life around. Big dreamers where reality is what they make it) 3. Applejack - (*Facepalm*, let me explain. i have lived in Texas at some point in my life..i used to spend my summers at my grandma's as a kid...My wife has a hidden southern accent she is bashful about AND she can be as blunt as Applejack. And now im trying to make my new home more of that country feel. Its just nice. I like being around these type of people because suddenly I CAN BE BLUNT and nobody seems to care..also MY old texas accent starts to come out and its HILARIOUS. This being said i roomed with a 'cowboy' a few years back. We got along...kinda...okay it ended with him moving his stuff out to get away from me. What can i say. Short term is easy but seriously..i can only take them in short doses as far as guys are concerned. Very concerned on the Macho factor. 4. Pinkie Pie - (My 12 year old daughter is the EXACT resemblance of Pinkie its...scary. Okay, Okay..have to address it. Lots of Talking all the time, Worried about everything but carefree about how people view them. Seem kinda Ditzy and scatterbrained. Theres a reason most people dont necessarlily 'hate' Pinkie because they seem almost to simple. Trust me though there is alot to be seen in these type of people. They generally want to 'play' and their interactions in life reflect that. I...used to be a raver at one point and there is an interesting 'spiritual' side that seems to influence this group. So yeah..try to Party with the Pinkie. Get out of your confort zone and throw some lightsticks in a dryer sometime) 5. Fluttershy - (Oh you dont want to mess a fluttershy lets move along. LOL! Just kidding. As we get lower down my list it will be harder for me to tackle obviously. Okay. May seem a bit boring, or to soft or shy. This one is interesting as i was a Fluttershy for a short period. I didnt talk much to anyone, i didnt trust anyone and my confidence was really low. So i guess its more observance than being active? Doesnt mean they wont but generally require a bit more of a push to get out of the confort zone. Easily take on characterists though so while they can seem sweet if you push their temper things could get rough real quick. Nothing wrong with that at all btw) 6. Rarity - (Hmmmmmmm. Okay even after all the episodes of MLP and everything Ive experienced up to my almost 30 years of existance i reallly have trouble with this group. I dont want to say i hate but there is always this sense of sandpaper on my soul. They could probably teach me to take better care of myself but like i stated above thats a flaw of mine so uhm... i see it as a flaw in them maybe? I dunno dont look to hard at my judgement here. Ive even discussed it with my wife and she agrees she feels the same way. Basically it kind of summarizes what i said above. I can see where people can see these different 'types' and it may put that 'sandpaper' feeling into them. I have learned to find the good points in Rarity over the last 3 seasons so maybe ill try to apply to real life.) Please dont get offended at my groupings people or think im trying to 'generalize'. Just trying to show how i see things and actually put a positive spin on why some people feel the way they do about characters in this show and possibly people they encounter in real life. Peace to my bro po's! ~BronyDad
