I used to think Chasing Amy was my favorite movie. Now it is not, though I still like the movie quite a bit. After watching that movie, I felt the need to update my journal. This was the first time I saw the movie since I started dating Kai, so it has a different impact on me than it did before. Before, I always believed its message was something of optimism for hopeless romantics, especially since that was my situation at that time. Now i relize that one's love life can turn out bad (or someone can Actually NOT like you in that way). Pouring your heart out is not always a good thing. Sometimes, leaving dead dogs lie is the best thing to do. However, I now see something different in the movie. Now, I feel that once in your in a relationship, you must never let things of the past bother you. Sure the person you are with may have more experience than you or she may have dated some "cool" guys, but there is reason that she is with you now. It can be argued that she tried the best and now she is trying the rest, but I don't agree with that because if hte people of her past were the best, than why is she not with them? I guess what I am trying to say is that don't compare yourself to others and forget one's past( at least the past that relates to relationships).
I believe that people can be divided into four categories when it comes to relationships.
1)Guys who think they are real men by acting all hard, sexist and believe that one must fuck everything that moves. Plus they only go for certain, stereotypical people.
2)Girls who do the same, though some do it for money.
3)Guys and Girls who want to try being sexually arrogant(i.e dating only "hot" people, going for people of "class"), yet they hate said "hot" people and want a "nice girl/guy" even though in practice they don't.
4) Guys and Girls who don't fit into either of the previous three.
I say this because too many people do stupid things. Its not good to have multiple partners! It's just trying to fufill your own shortcomings. Call me old fashioned, but I remember when dating one person at a time was good, not to mention dating someone that is not a ass/bitch. I'm not saying go you shouldn't be attracted to your partner, but some people are just too damn picky!!I had something to follow up to this but I cant remember the rest. If I do, Ill say some more. What do you think?
