No Mushy Stuff For Carrie Underwood
No chick flicks and flowers for Carrie Underwood. She says she just wants to be one of the boys.
"I definitely have more guy friends -- I'm not a huge talker. And hanging out with guys, you don't really have to talk," she says in the November issue of Seventeen magazine. "I love football and I love guy movies. I hate getting flowers, and I hate chick flicks. That whole romance thing-that doesn't happen. Real guys aren't like that."
Underwood has been most recently linked to "Gossip Girls" star Chase Crawford, but before that there were rumors of a relationship with football player Tony Romo. She says that she has a good friendship with the Dallas Cowboys quarterback, but the timing was never right for them to date.
"We're very good friends, and I talk to him pretty much every day, whether it's a text or whatever," she says. "But we were never, like, dating. We hang out. We like doing the same things, and we come from similar backgrounds, and we both stumbled into big fame real fast. So we understand where each other is coming from. It's just the wrong time for both of us. In a different world, we might have dated. But not in this one right now."

Despite her accomplishments, she still gets pegged as a "dumb blonde" and that gets on her nerves.
"It bugs me that because I'm a blonde from Oklahoma who sings country music, people think I'm stupid," she says. "People don't give us Oklahomans credit. We don't ride around in covered wagons! We have indoor plumbing. We're smart, good people. I won't say I'm business savvy, exactly, but I have common sense."
