manic pixie dream boy

The manic pixie dream boy (MPDB) is the male equivalent to the manic pixie dream girl. He tends to be gentle-natured, low testosterone and non-threatening, and looks like he's just stepped out of a boyband... indeed a lot of boybands are designed with that look in mind.

Manic Pixie Dream Girl

A Manic Pixie Dream Girl or MPDG, is a term coined by film critic Nathan Rabin after seeing Elizabethtown. It refers to "that bubbly, shallow cinematic creature that exists solely in the fevered imaginations of sensitive writer-directors to teach broodingly soulful young men to embrace life and its infinite mysteries and adventures." A pretty, outgoing, whacky female romantic lead whose sole purpose is to help broody male characters lighten up and enjoy their lives.

In Garden State, Natalie Portman was a Manic Pixie Dream Girl.

Manic Pixie Dream Girl

The girl who's smart and perfectly imperfect. She's everything you want but slightly broken and unattainable. Her wild hair and magnetic personality pull you in but you'll never be able to keep her or fix her.

Guy: "Dude, I love Ramona Flowers from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World."
Girl: "Of course you do; she's a manic Pixie Dream girl."

Manic Pixie Dream Girl

A female character who's entire character is based around a guy's shallow definition of a "perfect girl", a nerd's wet dream girlfriend. She plays all the games he plays, likes everything he likes, and probably has a pixie cut or some other radical hairstyle. She probably has a "perfect body" but hides it under baggy clothes, and wears nothing but nerdy video game centric t shirts or ridiculously over the top outfits that are practically costumes.

Guy: I'm not like other guys who are shallow and just want a blonde bimbo, I want a girl who plays video games and embraces life like me. She's beautiful but doesn't know it, and she loves nerdy stuff!
Girl: So you want a manic pixie dream girl

Sex Pixie

A girl with a lascivious glint in her eye.
She will put out with a little work.
Used as a simple scale:
Fuck Monkey: A girl who'll fufill your every sordid whim at the drop of a hat.
Sex Pixie: as above but not as obvious in her intent.

Jessica Simpson = Sex Pixie.
Christina Aguillera = Fuck Monkey.
