The Bad Boy to Prince Charming Project

This morning i received a text from my very close guy friend... 

That girl I told you I was seeing who disappeared on me really pissed me off last night.  We ended things when she told me that she felt no spark with me, even though I was "amazing with how I treated her".... Well that's great and all but then she posts this stupid picture (see below) on Facebook last night!!!!! WHAT IS THAT!!!!!

My poor friend, I felt really bad for him.  But i was dying laughing, because this truly is typical girl behavior, and that's exactly what I said to him.  I said, Yup, typical girl, doesn't surprise me one bit.  He seemed confused, so I tried to break it down for him as simply as possible for him.  Although it could be argued to be a bit more complicated than this, here's the short version:

MOST girls dream of:

Finding a bad boy

Chasing him for a little bit

Changing/fixing/saving him

Then living happily ever after together as his Princess 

If the guy is too nice from day 1:

There is sadly just no "Spark"

He isn't the one

She wants it to work but it just doesn't feel "right"

She isn't ready for a serious relationship

She isn't over her ex

She needs time to be single

She needs to work on herself

The Sad, Sad Reality for us ladies:

No Bad Boy can be "Fixed"

A guy doesnt have to be mysterious (aka sketchy) to be hot

Guys aren't puppies, they don't grow up & change, they are already adults

If a guy treats you one way from day 1, it will probably be that same way for a long time

We aren't in a rodeo, stop trying to lasso a man, you'll be chasing him forever

If you aren't a princess now, what is he going to wake up one day and decide NOW today is the day that you are a princess? Absolutely not. 

You don't REALLY want to marry a bad boy, do you?

 

Ladies - I wish I could tell you all (including me) to WAKE THE HECK UP!!!!! What are we doing? Why can't we feel a spark with the right guys?  Why do we feel the need to fix all the wrong ones?  So many of my wonderful quality smart attractive nice male friends can't find a girl to date, meanwhile all of my beautiful smart successful female friends are off chasing these LOSERS!  

It's really heart breaking but I find that even I have done this many many times, so it seems as though that's our nature today... I have dated guys who wine and dine me till I am blue in the face, who do anything I ask even without me having to ask, buy me flowers for absolutely no reason however they are never "the one."  Then I have dated the guys who steal my money, are completely sketchy, can't get their own life on track, and lie, cheat, or steal, but for some reason, they are more "passionate" or "attractive" for some reason.... seriously I have to laugh.... because what are we doing!?!?!?  I can't foresee myself 80 years old sitting on a couch happy with the bad boy.... but we feel like we are settling with the good guy... it's sadly a lose lose situation gals... we need to get a grip! 

Good Facebook Read...

I love Facebook, I can't pretend that I don't.  But it is frustrating to see horrible writing and horrible spelling day in and day out.  Did you people go to high school   I think so... why don't you know the difference between your their/there/they'res and your no/knows or your two/too/tos....??? Is it that hard?  Did you sleep through third grade??? Possibly.  The other thing that irks me is the people who just post to post... thanks for wasting 10 seconds of my life that I can't get back by reeling me in to read your post that was a complete waste of "pen and paper" (in a digital sense).  This morning I came across a post from my cousin that was so entertaining I just had to share it, because these days they seem to be far and few between.  (not that I have posted anything all that worthwhile myself lately on Facebook... but Nicole's gets a round of applause from me for sure.)  Enjoy! 

A real quality Facebook Post.... One of the most compelling posts I have read in MONTHS.  From my ever so lovely cousin Nicole :)

For the past 4 weeks i have been sitting on my deck at night and watching one of natures "miracles", trying to beat my lifelong arachnophobia. This is an orb-weaver that I christened "Horatio". Every evening at 9 pm he crawled out and built his web, which, admittedly, was pretty awesome to watch. Then I would witness his lightning fast kills throughout the night until exactly at 4:30 am he would rip the entire web down and creep back into his hidey-hole to sleep the day away like a blood-sucking vampire. He was just a little thing at first, but then gradually he grew and grew into the nightmare-ish FREAK OF NATURE you see in these pictures. EEWWWW! As this happened I started to sit farther and farther away, and to get more and more nervous. His downfall came when one night last week I went to go outside and found he had built a HUMAN SIZED web from the deck floor all the way to the top eaves of the house only 3 FEET away from the door! I have NO DOUBT that after watching ME for all that time he intended to trap me, kill me, and eat me! Thus started a fight to the death which included me spraying him repeatedly with Windex while screaming hysterically, cutting his web down with a pair of shears with a 4 foot reach while screaming hysterically, then attempting to beat him to death with a 2 inch circumference iron bar while he whipped up and down on a single strand of silk (while screaming hysterically). I must have looked like I was pulling major strikes in a wiffle-ball game! Needless to say one of my wild swings finally connected and PLOP, down he went. When he reared his nasty legs up at me in a final aggressive confrontation, my terror exploded and with one mighty blow of my weapon SMUSH, Horatio was no more. RIP, thanks for the entertainment you NASTY DISGUSTING MONSTER.......Now I am moving to another town to escape the wrath of his brethren....
