Why would you?
So I posted a survey/bulletin on Myspace the other day. And a friend re-posted it with her answers. Well one of the questions was, "what are your turn offs?" I have A LOT of those, because I'm picky. So I listed some. Well, I read said friend's answers and her answer to this question was "Girls who have too many damn turn offs, your not that great honey."
Now here is what is funny to me, A. it's in a myspace bulletin, seriously? Stupid. B. this USED to be my "best friend", you'd think she would know me better than that? and C. Seriously? I'm sorry I don't settle? Not!
Why would you settle? Now don't get me wrong, I am not a person who thinks highly of myself- a fact that has been taken advantage of by one too many people. Matter of fact, I am very open about my flaws even when I'm not open about my mistakes or my past. But seriously? Why would I settle?
Yeah, I'm not a good person. I'm extremely difficult and I have a very lethal mean streak- but I always lay out everything on the table before I date someone. They know what they're getting into, so why should I settle?
By settling, you recognize that there are things you don't like but think you can handle it. What happens when do you this is: later on down the road you realize how unhappy you are because of the things that you don't like. You end up being hurt and/or hurting someone else. All of which can be avoided if you just simply don't settle.
So... I'm sorry if I have too many turn offs or if I am too picky. But the way I see it, there are over 3 billion people in the world and growing. There are over 303 million Americans. Let's just say about half of those are men. So now we have 151.5 million men. So let's just say 2/3 of that population of men are total and complete jerks.
I'm still left with 50 million men to pick from. Now, let's just say that only 2/3 of that population are interested in me. Now I'm down to 16.8 million men.
So... I could never hope to meet half that number. So I can be picky all I damn well please, because I'm sure out of 16.8 million men there is going to be one that fits the bill.
And as for my "friend"... well, we could do the math on how many friends I could find in the world but ... what's the use in that?
