Patty or Cathy?

Okay, I'm doing a survey! Which cousin do viewers prefer or identify more with...Patty or Cathy?

Personally, I was kind of shy and bookish back in my teenage years when I used to watch this show, so identified more with Cathy. However, I have a feeling that Patty is going to win this popularity contest!

I was ten years old when I watched the show and I was totally in love with Cathy. She was so nice. I hoped to find a girl as nice as her when I started dating.

I never found a girl as nice as Cathy, but I did date a couple as cool as Patty.

Patty was a lot more fun. Cathy was a bit boring. I was more like Cathy...I was very shy in school. I would have loved to have been as outgoing as Patty.

Cathy always seemed more sophisticated. She'd probably mingled with far more adults, and would be familiar with the more grown-up novels & movies then in vogue. She struck me as the one most likely to have a serious romance and intimate relationship first, rather than Patty. Cathy was much more the "Bonjour, Tristesse" type.

Is there a "neither" column? They're both kinda at the extreme end of the "typical" teenager scale. Plus, she's a foot and a half shorter than me.

This will be the high point of my day; it's all downhill from here.
