There are a plethora of questions when it comes to the opposite sex and relationships. So, maybe this isn't necessarily the million dollar one, but it's a good one, nonetheless.
Everyone has seen a girl who is in a relationship before and asked themselves:
"HOW does SHE have a boyfriend and I don't?"
No need to pretend that you've never succumbed to such levels of shallowness. You have. It's OK. We all have.
I'm not talking about looks because I'm a firm believer that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. No, looks are not a part of this conversation. Rather, I'm talking about those girls who are ultra clingy, or too talkative, or downright crazy. Girls who have blinding personality vices that you think would make men run for their lives and never turn back. Yet, somehow, they manage to snag a man and KEEP him, a near impossibility nowadays. Meanwhile, you're sitting back with your level-headed personality and a pint of ice cream, perplexed and single.
This question has puzzled me for years. Every time I see a girl yelling at her boyfriend in public or acting as if she is attached to him at the hip by super glue, I wonder, "Why? Why is that poor man putting himself through that when he could move on to something a lot more sane?"
The answer? There is none. People like what they like. And, most times, people can see beyond public outbursts or occasional co-dependency if the person's virtues outweigh their vices.
Also, let's face it. We are all a little bit crazy. Chances are you will yell in public at your spouse at some point during the course of your marriage. We like to see ourselves as relaxed, carefree individuals but we all have our vices. And, just like those girls who manage to snag boyfriends despite our perplexed stares, we all hope to find someone who sees beyond our flaws and appreciates us for who we are.
Love freely,
tY
