We're Not "A Great Catch"

DISCLAIMER: At this point in my life my opinions are normally shaped by my emotions. That means my opinions change month to month, week to week, or even day to day.

Ok, there are some inconvenient truths that you may or may not want to be made aware of. No, they do not have to do with global warming or Al Gore, but they are some traditional phrases that I would like to dissect.

"Girls always go for the bad boys/dumb asses": Who are mainly the people that are complaining about this? The failures, losers, rejects, ugly ducklings, the socially-retarded-kids, etc. I am guilty of using this phrase all the time so don't get your panties in a bunch. It's a lot easier to be nice when personality is the only strength you have to play to. I, like many other people, have never experienced being ridiculously good looking. Do you know what that's like? Statistics show that you don't.

This brings me to my next point: When you are super good looking it's harder to be nice. Nice people are generally average looking or even ugly. You have special cases here and there, but this is true the majority of the time. That is because you have never had the challenge of balancing an ego that gets fed daily, while maintaining a "good" personality. It's not easy. I mean I would be the first person to admit that I hate stuck up girls who think they're the shit because guys think they are hot, but the reality is they struggle with things that a lot of people don't have to.


Also do you know how irritating it is to be hit on daily? Odds are you don't. I'm sure it gets really old/uncomfortable. Maybe that is why the girl you hit on last week was such a bitch. She gets it all the time, and I'm sure it's not easy to sit there and make you think the conversation is going well. So what if she is nice to you? You think that there might be something there that isn't. Then a month or two down the road you hate her because she led you on. So either you hate her for being a bitch or you hate her for leading you on. It's a lose/lose situation but you and I are too biased/bitter to acknowledge that.

My intention with this post is to not to defend the superficial, stuck up, brainless, hypocritical, shallow, people in the world. This is my attempt to remind myself and others that maybe you're not as good of a catch as you thought you were. So you and I can keep telling ourselves that everyone is missing out on what we have to offer, but the reality is NO ONE GIVES A SHIT.

I'll try and limit my "emo posts" to just a couple a month. Which reminds me (and makes a bad conclusion for my post): Ever since social networking (mainly myspace and facebook) has taken off there has been an influx of emo kids. I personally believe that it is because social networking has become a voice box for the introverts. That, and there are just a lot of emo jr. high kids.
