If you read my last post you know that it discussed the characteristics that women desire in men. As I continued to browse, I came across yet another article, this one addressing what types of women to avoid. The results were a bit shocking to me. I'll let you see for yourself...
Number one nearly described me to a tee. I honestly didn't want to finish reading the column after this. As they say, the truth hurts and is likewise hard to accept. I have this one fault that when I truly start to like someone I turn into bit of a sarcastic butthead. I don't like to be proved wrong, and I will fight until death to prove myself right. I'm not the type of person to admit being wrong. I have a strong personality and a vicious attitude to go along with it. I find that as long as I can suppress my words my relationships are strong, however at the point at which I can no longer bite my tongue is when the relationships become ravaged.
Would a man rather have a woman who cheats, lies, and manipulates than one who knows how to vocalize her opinion and call him out when he's incorrect? I have a feeling so.
Number three on the list goes along with the same concept. Now, I've dealt with my fair share of people who always have to be "right." I've learned the best thing you can do is nod your head and smile and act like you actually care about what they say. But this article makes it seem like the slightest bit of confidence and pride are poor qualities to possess. And to my female readers, have you ever tried to tell a guy he was wrong about something? You might as well get your shovel and start digging your grave. (Least this is true for the ones I have encountered.)
If you know me, I hate to pull out the sexist card. I am just as apt to call a woman an ignorant *expletive* as I am to call a man a selfish *expletive* but if you're going to fight with fire you should know to expect the same in return regardless of who you are or what you think you are...
Anyhoo, I wanted to make this one a bit short so I could post a bit of a sidenote.
I knew tonight I wanted to write. I sat at work for about thirty minutes straight trying to think of a topic but every time I started to punch in the keys all the words came out too personal and uncomfortable. I made a vow to myself awhile ago to make my posts a bit less personal. While it does feel refreshing to put everything out in the open it does have many drawbacks.
I've gotten to the point in my life in which I don't discuss feelings, why would I write about them. As a matter of fact, I hardly feel them at this point. Last night I cried while watching "Cruel Intentions." A real gullywasher of a cry at that. It's not as if I've never seen the movie, my ex and I had watched it many occasions it was just that this time everything seemed to make sense. The part at which Sebastien said "I'm completely infatuated with her... she made me laugh" was the part that really hit home for me. In a way I can relate. I have the ability to go through life, experiencing no emotions, have no attachment, and I pride myself on this. The one person that will eventually strike emotion in me is the one I will end up running from because it's not something I desire.
Do you ever realize that the person that always inspires you, motivates you, makes you feel like anything is conquerable is the same person that could possibly destroy you?

I know your feelings on "love" and I share a lot of the same views but... I've been told that love is giving someone the power to break your heart but trusting them not to.
