I’m Doing Everything Right
As a single girl, I like to complain a lot about not being able to find a decent man. 99 times out of 100, I am kidding. I can get any man I want. I find it ironic that someone of my league can’t get a guy to take me to the movies. What I can’t stand, is when people try to tell me what I am doing wrong. “Maybe you act too domineering”; “Maybe you need to lower your standards”….and my personal favorite “Maybe you make yourself too available.”
Ladies and gentlemen: I am doing nothing wrong. It is true that I am perfect in every way, and I’m not going to go on and on about that. What grinds my nerves, is that people feel they need to point out what they perceive as my flaws. My life is not tragic. I think it’s hilarious.
Dear Friends and Acquaintances: When I say “Man, it’s so tough to meet a man out there”, please wait a few seconds for the punchline, it’s usually hilarious, then respond with “Haha! You have the best stories! I hope you never settle down!”

Who the hell goes on movie dates any more?

Dude, I don’t go on any dates. I’d settle for an ice cream date at this point. Actually, that sounds like an amazing date regardless.

my pet peeve is when people say maybe youre too picky
its like the lowering your standards remark
apart from being an asinine remark
it also is a genetic tradgedy waiting to happen
the idea of lowering one standards or being less picky confuses the shit outta me
who are you that you dont know of the incredible genetic legacy that unfolds after a woman gets pregnant
should someone “settlle” for a person who is inadequate either pysically or intellectually
they are putting the rest of society at risk by potentially spawning an insufficient child which will one day grown up and inevitably do something profoundly awful
men have high standards
and zero responsibility at the end of the day if a women gets pregnant
as women we NEED to have high standards
the idea of overacommodating your loneliness in order to fill some void and fit into societal standards by being a couple or prove a point (ie see i CAN get a boyfriend)is a disaster waiting to happen
and while i guess im one of those people you mentioned above because i genuinely dont believe that you find being single amusing
i think its stresses you out despite they way you find humour in it
im glad that youre not willing to settle ( although i think you know that i think youre settling by even entertaining the douchenozzles (thank you Teen Wolf) at the gym, they are by definition LOSERS)
and not blaming who you are as person for your current single state
its hard to meet people
youll find someone if you really want to
Lord that was a long response
and very therapeutic i must say
thank you Fit Darcie

Thanks Desire. That was long, but rather intuitive.
Possibly even better than anything Teenwolf has ever posted.

I don’t know how two people, who are essentially the same person, just different characters, and who, to the best of my knowledge, have never met, can hate each other so much.
