Over time I have discovered that girls don't know what they are looking for.
I base this solely on one thing: Myself.
Sure, I am vertically challenged (short, for the wordly challenged).
And I am not the beautiful hulk that they imagine. To be honest about myself, I am not great looking, but I am not ugly.
But I feel like other qualities that people seek, I possess.
College Educated? Check.
Full time job? Check.
Solid income? Check.
4 Wheels + an Engine? Check.
Sense of humour? Check.
Brains, not trains? Check.
Likes kids? Check.
A blog? Hell yeah.
So what is exactly that people are looking for that I am missing?
Oh yeah, I don't like the Beatles. That must be it.
Humility? :P
ReplyDeletevs. Honesty.
ReplyDeleteHelp me understand what you're trying to say here? You think girls are too superficial and external?
ReplyDeleteI've definitely said, and I know many others that agree as well, that if a guy isn't as good-looking as I'd've wanted, I wouldn't write him off for that. Everyone's a package deal. If everything else lines up, why would you sabotage a good thing for something superficial?
All I'm trying to say is that I can't really figure out what it is that girls are really looking for. Not as FG said, for humility purposes, but because I truly can't figure out why I can't get dates.
DeleteAnd thanks, that gives me some confidence :)
I think its the height thing. I usually go months with no dates, and 75% of the time the girls say no to me because of my height (despite them being shorter than me. I'm just "not tall enough"). But on the bright side, there are times when I do get dates, and then its usually one after the other for a while. When it rains it pours :)
DeleteIt's definitely discouraging not to get dates; like you said, you start to wonder what's wrong with you (or what do you not have that people are specifically looking for). Lots of the time it's really not about anything having to do with you per se, just G-d's plan for you (however much credit you want to give to G-d running His world).
DeleteAnd personally, I think it's stupid to pass up on a date because of height. I mean really! I'll admit, it'd be nice to marry a guy who's taller than me, but if he doesn't care that I'm taller than him in heels, then what the heck.
