Brick Walls
it's just really frustrating to stand by and watch your girl friends constantly run themselves up against brick walls.
correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't think that by constantly putting yourself out there or wearing your heart on your sleeve is necessarily going to win you a boyfriend.
why can't girls apply that notion to themselves? ... if a guy i didn't like were to continually make advances towards me, i would maybe feel flattered but also very uncomfortable. pursuit would be even more awkward. and if they were to become persistent, i would not hesitate to kick them in the face and call the cops.
but no matter how many times i tell them that the key to any successful relationship is finding someone who actually likes you back, they just don't understand. they keep wasting their time (and make that my time as well). they'll use up whatever it takes (laying down their pride, ego, dignity, self-respect ... ). and then the rejection is sure to follow. or the flip and burn. they end up feeling shitty and worthless. they wallow in depression and low self-esteem. and i just sit there, head in my hands ... shaking my head thinking, 'what a disaster.'
and THEN THEY DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. they just NEVER LEARN!!!
so today i reached my breaking point and decided to take initiative. i took my friend by the shoulders. i made her face me squarely in the eye and then just started to SHAKE HER. once i convinced her that i was being serious, i had to give it to her straight.
"you got dumped because HE DOESN'T LIKE YOU. he NEVER LIKED you. it was ALL YOU and NO HIM. YOU ARE PART DELUSIONAL."
to which she proceeded to cry.
it's even more sad because you begin to wonder when they're going to finally realize and for once, cut themselves a break. it's like one of those old football adages: the bigger you are, the harder you fall.
or in their case: the harder you try, the more likely to fail.
for the most part, i don't think it should be that hard. because one of the greatest skills that a girl can have is to every now and then, know how to forget herself.
gotta werk now.
