Hello.
roud:
Okay, so I made a thread about the "20 Reasons Why You're Still Single Women" as a somewhat of a parody to another thread called "20 Reasons Why You're Still Single Men". Well, my thread, surprisingly, got stickied and had some interesting replies there.
One of the posters pointed out that men cannot seem to "make their minds up", and I thought maybe men just like a woman who can balance two extremes in her personality, for example, not being too clingy but at the same time, not being too distant. And so on, and so on.
However, now that I'm thinking about it, I am actually starting to sense that the poster was right, and it makes me angry that people can be so... I don't know, indecisive about what kind of lover they want. No matter how hard you try to please a person, you're too "this" or "that"... You're either too quiet, or too loud. Too gushy/emotional, or too cold and mean. Too ugly, or too attractive. (Yes, some people can hate on you right off the bat if you happen to be, you know, pretty or whateves.)
This has been such a big problem in my life... I'm always too something for everyone involved in my life. My family, my past friends, lovers... I'm always told that I'm either on one extreme or the other that they don't like. I honestly don't know how to be perfect, I mean, I'm human... Right?
How do you guys deal with ridiculous standards set by today's society? Where no matter how hard you try... It's not good enough.
