Manly Phone Numbers…

Ok, here’s a weird thing. When my wife and I got cell phones, we had two numbers and she told me to pick the one I wanted. I looked them over and chose one because it was more manly. She thought I was crazy, but I’m telling you there are girly phone numbers and manly numbers.

I’m not giving you my cell numbers, but here’s five example bogus numbers and their gender.

555-1939 – That’s kind of a girly number.
555-2661 – Gender nuetral. Could go either way.
555-1113 – That number couldn’t be more feminine unless it was wearing pumps.
555-9116 – That number is all man.
555-4345 – A little dainty. Definitely leaning toward girly.

There you have it. Don’t ask me. It all makes sense in my head.

    What?

    How do numbers seem manly or feminine? I don’t get it. Explain?

    All those 1′s, 3′s and 4′s make it girly? Hmm. This could be fun. How about 867-5309?

    Ok, I’m insane like this too, and assigned genders to numbers when I was a kid.

    1-boy
    2-girl
    3-boy
    4-girl
    5-boy
    6-girl
    7-girl, but a vixenny one
    8-boy
    9-boy
    0-girl

    It may have had something to do with the characterized posters of the numbers that hung above he chalk board.
