First off, before I start going off on a tangent, because I have a feeling this post is going to be very ranty, I would just like to say Hi to T!!! Yay for T! T is awesome.
Now, onto my thoughts of the day. Right. So a friend of mine, we will call him "X," last week, sent me an email with a link to a YouTube video blog of a girl he went on a date with last summer. "Shells" the girl in the blog, who I have no problem putting her name on here since, well she has a YouTube video so all anonymity is out the window, anyways, has a rather campy, video blog of herself. Showing herself to sort of be, well that girl. And by that girl, I mean thinking she is dating a guy after one date, taking "He's Just Not that Into You" to heart, and basically husband hunting. So after much back-and-forth email with X, he seemed to think she was joking, but that sadly, he knew women like this. Basically, I think she is making this video as a joke to all those women out there just like this.
So, it got me thinking. Why is it that when a woman wants to settle down, she is deemed a freak and clingy and so on, but when a guy wants to, everyone is all like yeeeeah he is finally settling down and giving up his frat-boy partying ways, and everyone is all like throwing him a party? Why is it okay for a guy to want a girlfriend, but a girl who wants to find a nice guy or a boyfriend is deemed desperate? And where are these girls that act like this? None of my friends have ever taken off work just to get ready for a party. I mean seriously? Seriously. Not all women act like this, and frankly, I have yet to meet one who does, and if you do know someone like this, well then is it her fault? Or is it society's fault for making women think that there is something wrong with us if we are still single after age 25, 30, 35 and so on? And of course, now that I am re-reading this, this rant totally makes me sound desperate and pathetic. However, I perfer the terms empowered and independent! Womyn Unite! Ha.
I guess it all comes down to: Girls Rule. Boys Drool.
Yeah.

And why is it that when you are married people assume that you don't go out any more? I don't get that. But yeah, I agree with you. And no, you don't sound desperate.
does T stand for titty-apple?
I didnt know you had a friend named titty-apple.
I blame The Bachelor. For this, and many other things.
No, you don't sound desperate.
Also, I agree with Librarian girl. Are you watching this season? PATHETIC. But I mean really, I have to watch just to make fun of it. HMF, THOSE girls are desperate.
