So secretly, we spend our lives searching for the right guy. Some girls get lucky and end up with "The right one" and some just settle for the guy that could be the next best thing. But really, is there honestly someone out there for each and everyone of us? Is there really such thing as my Mr. Right: "Mr. colored eyes, Christian, GQ Model kinda guy"? I've always wondered if some guys truly need a map handed to them because they get so lost and caught up doing who knows what with who knows who. Should us girls somehow blame ourselves for the sorry looking thing we THINK is "Mr. Right" when he's really, truly, (like Cameron Diaz put it in The Sweetest thing...) only "Mr. Right NOW"?
I started reading this book called "He's just not that into you." The plot and whole idea of the book is great and the moral behind it gets pretty obvious after the first 3 or four chapters. Plain and simple: Boys are full of shit (and lame excuses) and only want you-want you when they feel like they can't have you. When boys want you, they'll call you, they'll go up to you, they'll ask you for your number.. and yada yada yada. Hand me another tissue to this sob story... how pathetically cliched can this book get???? DUUUH!.. we KNOW THESE GUYS WANT A GAME OF "HARD TO GET."... we know that by being a good sport and doing the whole "digit" and "date"-asking the boring traditional way we'll somehow, some painfully way, get the freakin guy. But what the hell!? What about US? What about OUR needs? Am I really expected.. (as a girl).. to get all prettied up, mascera and heels and all and wait to actually find a guy, actually wait for him to ask me for his number, actually just bat my eyelashes over and over and smile innocently as he "DECIDES" if he's going to call me or if he's even interested? Uh No SIR NO WAY. I'd rather sit through an episode of Passions. Ew.
Eve may have been the only girl alive, but Adam sure as hell didn't just want her because she was naked. He saw her for HER. He "KNEW" that she was the one.. right?? So why should we play these little games of "hard to get" and "lets wait for the boy to call so the girl can sit by her phone all night and wait for a freakin phone call." If there should be any game involved, lets worry about the one that lets US girls be the one in charge of this lame kinda- game. Some guys really just don't get it... girls want what they can't HAVE. It's true. Really. I promise.
Let me say it again boys: (slower) WE. WANT. WHAT. WE. CAN'T. HAVE.
Example: (for those boys who are slow and still don't get it.) If we don't answer our phone once, were either busy or we don't want to talk to you. Don't you DARE make second or a third or even 4th, you'll drive us nuts and drive yourself into a hole that you may never be able to get out of.
Woman may be from Venus and Men may be from Mars but we somehow, someway seem to have things in common. We are so different but yet so alike it's amazing. We think we don't understand each other, but we really just can't understand ourselves. We want guys when we can't have them and the ones we can have we don't want. It's a sad and tragic neverending cycle. What SHALL WE DO?
