I feel like I’ve been putting a lot of shit on guys lately. Yes, I know that’s essentially what this blog is about, but I haven’t been dating in the past month or so (that sounds so much worse than it is) so I thought I might turn the tables on women. If you haven’t caught on yet, I’m a bit of a mess when it comes to men and dating in general. I can place the blame on them all I want, but when I think about it, women are just as destructive to their own love lives as men are. You might be guilty of this too, ladies, so pay attention. I am about to analyze the shit out of myself and women in general.
After my last ex-boyfriend, I convinced myself that love is unnecessary and I didn’t need it. I wasn’t bitter or anything…awkward pause. So when I started having feelings for guys again, I processed it as a bad thing and ran in the opposite direction. Funny story, guys won’t actually go out with you when you ignore them. Then I grew up and stopped that nonsense. But I also went out with a few guys who dropped off the face of the earth after dinner. So naturally, I assume all guys are done with me when I don’t hear from them, because it sometimes happens to be true, a lot. So somehow I’ve developed this thing where no matter what a guy does, I’m going crazy with assumptions; luckily for me, they don’t often disappoint and my craziness is never in vein. Justified insanity is ok, right? No, not really. Any insanity is still insanity and if you’re not careful, you will end up living happily ever after with your herd of twenty-seven cats. Fun Fact, cats will eat you after you die. A spouse won’t (unless your standards are reaaaaally low in which case I’d probably go for the cats). What I’m trying to get at here (damn cats are so distracting), is that my involuntary overactive, over thinking, sometimes crazy brain is probably a good part of why I attract the men I do. A good friend of mine told me that you subconsciously attract the people who are thinking like you. And if you are thinking that men are bad and going to screw you over, you’re going to attract men who are bad and thinking about screwing you over. This is getting deep, isn’t it…that’s what she said.
To sum up, ladies, I (and by I, I mean we) should cut men some slack every now and then. We can be a lot to handle with our insecurities, quirks, and untrusting poker faces. Yes, men are the reason I think like this, but when it comes down to it, prince charming isn’t going to save me if he has to cross a lake of alligators and thorny fences to get to me. Disney lied to us too, guys. And who even says we need saving? If the path is clear, he can just walk right up. Or you can meet in the middle; it’s 2014, we can start making the moves, girls. Trust me, guys love a confident women and nothing says confident like writing your number on his coffee cup before you hand it to him.
