The Honest Truth

Man: I just want to be friends.
Woman: Me too. I don't care about you at all. Don't leave me. I love you.





So lately (as in three days) I decided to not go out so much. Clearly I have been meeting freaks and a little bit of a break wont hurt. So maybe I'll give up drinking and talking to boys for lent?
Doubt it.

Due to me being home more, I started watching re-runs of Sex and the City. Its been cracking me up because I feel TOTALLY different about the show now. I first watched the show at the end of high school/beginning of college. I thought Carrie was so cool and that Mr.Big was so smooth and awesome and that it was such a romantic and tortured relationship. Now that I live on my own, am months away from having a 3 in front of my age as opposed to a one or a two, I feel so different.

Carrie is a fucking nut job. Seriously. A total weirdo. She has a normal relationship with Big until her desperation/neediness makes him hate her. Perfect example: when she goes bananas at Big for not wanting to introduce her to his mom after 3 months of dating!!! Its like WHOA there Carrie, slow it down. Big is super nice to her about it, offers to take her on vacation and talk about it as much as she likes, and she freaks out and stands him up only to stalk him for the next 10 episodes. This is why men think women are crazy. This is why I think women are crazy! It's not normal to act that way. Communication is kinda a big deal in relationships and I'm starting to believe that women are the biggest liars. We try to act all cool and nonchalant and like "I'm totally ok with this going nowhere" only to freak out and stalk the guy. People end up with all this drama and heart break because they are not straight forward in the beginning. We think the way to winning someone over is with mind trickery and games. I am so honest it is shameful. I am so honest that I have NO game. Whatever is on my mind, I blurt out. But I rather be like that then have all this run around.

Example: There was a cute FedEx guy that delivered my hair extensions to the salon. About 6 months ago, he asked me out. I had a bf at the time and had to turn him down. A couple weeks ago, he made a delivery and we starting talking. He was fun and kinda interesting. A few days later I emailed him to tell him I was single and that he could ask me out again. He turned me down since now he has a gf. Was it embarrassing? YES. Did I seem smooth? NO way. Did my girl friends make fun of me for being that forthright? Absolutely. But see, now I know where we stand and I don't have to go out of my way trying to flirt with him and wondering about him and all sorts of stupid shit that would waste my time. Its still embarrassing every time he walks in the salon, but whatever, at least I know.

    1. Hahaa! GREAT point Pish! Guys are huge game players too! I guess I was just in a tiff because Sex and the City makes women look INSANE!! But trust me, I am super guilty on acting insane a bunch of times. So I guess I'm a hypocrite. :)

  4. This is an awesome post. I think honesty is the best way not to seem psycho or get hurt badly.

    I agree with you. I've always hated Carrie. She's nuts. I liked Samantha the best because she was honest, mostly, and of course the other two are funny but high strung. But Carrie isn't even likable. I adore Mr. Big. He wants to smoke cigars and dance in Italian restaurants and have romance and masculinity and listen to Sinatra. CHILL THE FUCK OUT CARRIE!!

    I can't stand when she gets into that Berger guy. And Aidan was wayyyyyyyy too good for her.

    OMG listen to me.

    Anyway, I think you're awesome and I thought you were only 22 or something. Early thirties are sexy - but you're right no more games. Games are bullshit.

    The reason Carrie and other women are psycho nutjobs is because they let themselves and their friends make them feel desperate. They create stupid expectations and over analysis.

    I've done this myself

    1. I think we have all done this. Its super hard to just throw it all out there. Its kinda fun to "be cool." But it doesn't get you anywhere and it doesn't stop you from being hurt. I think embarrassing myself and asking people out is still the route for me. Some day some guy will think my balls out approach is kinda cool. And until then, I shall blog. ;)

  6. You tricked me into reading about Sex and the City. All these years, nothing but a devious plan.
