There’s something I don’t understand about women. It’s something I don’t even understand about myself. It’s fucking ridiculous actually. Why do we put up with stupid shit and settle for men who make us want to shoot ourselves in the face?
And guess what else we do. After said love of our life shits all over us, we talk a bunch of shit about him to our friends. I do this all the time. I fucking do this in my blog. I talk/write a bunch of shit about how retarded and douchie he is. I tell the world that I can’t stand him and that I will not put up with what he has done.
Meanwhile I’m fucking texting him asking if we can get back together, or if I can come over and pick up a couple things I left there, or if I can just suck his dick while he plays call of duty. Whatever. Just please let me be in your presence!
And simultaneously all of my friends are applauding me because of how well I’m handling everything. They are high fiving me and telling me that I’m a strong independent woman and I don’t need that asshole bringing me down. And I’m right there saying, you are so fucking right! Fuck this guy. I don’t need him. He was such a waste of my life. I DESERVE BETTER.
Meanwhile I’m still stalking him on facebook and wondering if he’s going to unfriend me and messaging every girl who comments on his status to let her know what a dillhole he is and that she shouldn’t get involved with him because he’s only going to destroy her heart, her trust, and her reason for living. “Run for your life Girl!” I’ll scream.
But simultaneously I’m asking said guy to come over and talk because I just really think we can work it out. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH US.
Case in point:
I want to lose about 20 pounds. So I say to this really sweet guy I like once I reach my goal weight of 145 I’ll be happy. So about seven minutes into the conversation he says, you know at 115 you would look emaciated.
“yeah, that’s why I don’t want to be 115. I want to be 145.”
Then he said, “At 120, your face would still be sunk in.”
“Um, yeah, what is your point? I don’t want to be 120.”
Then he says: "You know at 125 or 130, with your frame, you would be really lean with a tiny waist. And your ass would be perfectly round and tight."
To which I respond, “ …………..shock…………..awe………….”
You’ve got to fucking be kidding me? I just told him I wanted to be 145, which admittedly is thinner than I’ve EVER been in my whole adult life…and he suggests I lose an additional 15 pounds?
FUCK YOU.
So I tell my friend about it. She agrees with me that this guy is a bag of assholes.
So the next day when he sent a text telling me I took his statement wrong and that he didn’t mean it, I should have told him to shove it up shitter, but instead I wrote back some flirty bullshit and brought women back 20 years in the process. Why am I always forcing women to (D)E volve?
I’ve done this in the past as well. You spend so much time convincing all of your friends that some guy is a total waste of your time and that he should die…and then you bring him to your fucking block party and expect everyone to just forget that they spent four hours holding your hand and comforting you while you blew snot rockets and cried trailers of tears the night before.
Men are not that strong ladies … the weakness is in us!
But guess what? We are good enough, pretty enough and smart enough to actually move on! And these guys who treat us like we are replaceable just need to become background noise. Now excuse me while I hit the gym, I’ve got 35 pounds to lose. Then he’ll love me.

For what it's worth, you really did, in fact, interperet the guy wrong the first time. What he was saying roughly translated to "I am a fuckbat!"
ReplyDeleteWe do this because we, as women, have this inherent need to be desired, accepted and wanted. I don't think what you're describing is odd...I think it's more the norm, even though your description may be a bit extreme. ;)
ReplyDeleteUnless we can learn to fulfill this need elsewhere-in ourselves or our friends or our family or our faith...we'll just keep falling back on the need to be validated by men. Why? Because it's a real and honest need. We're just meeting it in all the wrong places.
Hi! I was browsing The Lady Bloggers site and stumbled over here to your great blog. I love this post. You have hit the nail on the head with this one.
ReplyDeleteI have added myself as your newest follower on GFC .

Warmest wishes

Sometimes I wonder if it's because it's comfortable, regardless of whether or not it's right. It's just something we know and is familiar.
ReplyDeleteI've done the same thing, although maybe not to the extent you have. LOL
Fuck anyone who doesn't accept your body as it is. So easy to say to others, ain't it? If only we could coach ourselves as well as we coach other women. :(
ReplyDeleteSaw you mentioned on Date me DC page and decided to check out your blog because she's awesome and I trust her taste! I love you already! This post is soo spot on I constantly find myself wondering "why do I do these things" when it comes to shady guys...
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to put the whole female gender on your shoulders, k ;)? We've all been there, and when each of us is ready, we deal with it and move on. I don't tolerate weight or body image comments anymore, though. Dating the Diminutive Russian at 20 cured me of that! xoxo
