I've had this intense urge to be a "Carrie Bradshaw" and write a column... Just for the kicks...
---
It's Friday night. Friday. Fucking. Night. (YES!!)
Your legs are shaved. Your hair is straight. Your toes are polished and the night seems so young.
Your cell phone is ringing constantly as different boys call asking what "you and your girls are doing tonight." You tell them "you don't know" (when you really do) and eventually ask them what they're planning as you apply that new colored MAC eyeliner to your eyes. The options turn out to be endless.
Wait. Stop. Put that lipgloss down. No really put it down. Now ask yourself: "What is YOUR motive for going out tonight?"
The way I see it, there are 6 types of motives girls have when they plan on going out.
1. You have your "horny gals" who need and want "some" (kissing, sex, cuddling) and will do everything and anything to get it. They go out in those shorter than short skirts, small crop top (cleavage and all) and the highest stilettos that you've ever seen. THEIR MISSION: to get attention, to get guy's numbers, to tease and to just plain GET SOME. It's all fun and games at the beginning but the night ends and they wake up in the morning with bad breath, messy hair and smeared eyeliner in some really ugly guy's bed. Then they quickly leave and erase whatever happened that night from their mind. "Never again." (they tell themselves) "Never again."
2. You have your "hopelessly romantic gals" who hope with all their little dear heart that they will end up meeting some extra hot boy who will not only know how to dress and have a killer smile, but he will actually turn out to be a really Good guy. This is the reason they take hours on their hair, makeup and spend a whole day at the mall searching for the perfect outfit. They know they'll be in the dark and no one will actually SEE them, but the whole "dress up" and "what-IF I meet Mr. Right" scenario makes everything so much more interesting. And this fantasy dream boy that about 1 out of every 10 girls gets lucky and finds, ends up being some weird, random loser that still lives in high school and that seemed so much cuter inside the dark club. You girls know what I mean, the transition is like going from Brad Pitt to Michael Jackson. "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!?"
3. You have your "party like it's 1999 all night long gals" who pretty much go out to get completely trashed. They know every type of drink there is out there, dirty, on the rocks, frozen... you name it, they've tried it. They need a martini to celebrate when they made an A in class, they need shots when they're having problems with the boyfriend, they need a margarita just because its Wednesday, (and that's the day before Thursday), they need a cosmo because it matches their outfit... In other words, they use every excuse to drink. These girls are hardcore and dancing on tables, drinking drink after drink and walking home barefooted with their heels in their hand is just a normal night out. The only thing these girls wake up to is a headache, stomachache and the simple word: "OOPS."
4. You have your "I can't stand to be home because I just broke up with my ex" girls. These girls go out only because they know that if they stay home they'll be tempted to dial their ex. Not only that, but they know that if they do stay home, they might end up in their room, going through the infamous "ex" box (the one that has every keepsake and memory from the past relationship) and listen to dashboard confessional. Of course, the "ex" box and dashboard will eventually lead to a trashcan full of used tissues. Obviously, no girl would want to torture herself in such a tragic way, so she goes out with her girls and secretly, in the deepest part of her heart, hopes she runs into her ex. When she doesn't, she's sad and NOT HAVING FUN. This girl also talks to the first guy that she sees once her ex boyfriend's best friend tells her that her ex is out sleeping with the school's hoe. Rebounds are a bitch. And revenge only bites you back in the ass. These girls go out to "TRY" and have fun, but usually just stay up until 7a.m. on the phone with her ex begging for him back.
5. You have your "dress to impress gals" who ONLY get a kick out of dressing up like the model on the latest cover of Cosmo. She flips through magazines before going out to steal hairstyles and make up ideas. She likes to dress up and her main motivation for going out is to look good. These girls usually ask for a drink that looks good with her outfit and you'll more than likely see her taking more bathroom breaks than everyone else so she can make sure her hair and makeup still look hot. These girls usually wake up in the morning after a shitty night and say, "CRAP, what a total waste of an OUTFIT!"
6. Lastly, you have your "GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN" gals.
(Self explanatory) These girls wake up looking through their digital camera pictures and telling themselves over and over..."Now THAT was an awesome night."
What is YOUR motive? ;]
