What Does "I'm More of a Samantha" Mean? Explained
"I'm more of a Samantha" is the Sex and the City quiz answered in five words. Of the four friends on the show, Samantha was the one with the calendar full of plans, a closet full of confidence and no apology in either.
The question it answers
For years, women asked each other the same thing over brunch: which one are you? Carrie wrote and shopped. Charlotte wanted the fairy tale. Miranda ran the numbers. Samantha ran the room, and had somewhere else to be by ten. The question was never really about the show. It was a way of asking how much trouble you are willing to admit to.
The twist
The saying is polite on the surface and filthy underneath. "More of a Samantha" sounds like a personality type, which it is, and also like a confession, which it also is. The wink lives in the word "more," as if it were a dial, and she is turning it up. It tells the reader everything they need to know about her weekend without describing a single detail of it.
Who it is for
The bridesmaid who is happy for the bride and has plans after the reception. The mom who still has opinions and a second drink. The sister with a terrible ex and a wonderful reputation. The group where three people are Charlottes and one will never admit it. Also anyone who finally answered the quiz honestly.
How the quiz plays at a table
Say it at brunch and the table sorts itself. Someone is a Carrie and defends it. Someone is a Charlotte and blushes. Someone is a Miranda and asks for the check. The Samantha defends nothing and orders another round. The shirt answers before the question is asked, so the table skips ahead to the confessions. It is the rare piece of clothing that works as an icebreaker and a character reference.
Where to find it
The answer comes as a t-shirt, hoodie, sweatshirt, long sleeve, trucker hat and mug. It sits on the funny gifts for wife, funny gifts for sister, funny birthday gifts for mom and funny gifts for new moms shelves.
