People Are Sleeping (The Dating Women Point Of View) by Colleen (Humour)
So I've always had this amazing fairy tale picture that all dating women have, tall castle (possibly made out of cake or beautiful pink clowded glass) idea of love. I will not settle for less. I swear. At least it will give me something to do for the rest of my life and I speak for all the dating women.
Everyone always tries to crush my dreams and assert their maturity and intelligence by telling me "how the real world is." But I won't have it.
So shit keeps piling up that should essentially prove me wrong. At the same time, I love cheesy ass reality television that just exploits people, especially dating women. "Rock of Love" makes my life have meaning. The chicks are just a total different breed of person. I dig it sometimes.
So, I'm watching the Pick-Up Artist II and I want to break shit. (Side note: Watching "Gone Baby Gone" at this moment and this is the most depressing not fun movie ever and sometimes on a Friday night, can't shit just be fun? Why is every person drunk when you need one designated driver to Wendy's?) The show squeezes every bit of truth out of my love fairty tale beliefs. It is straight up teaching people how to be liars and players and add a false sheen to the last un-plastic vestige of life. Anyway, I know that it's rigged and all of that but seriously, Mystery takes off his "peacocking" stuff like the hat (he's not really balding), his wrist bands, and bracelets and stuff and goes in and scores with mad dating women. But, it's a bunch of seriously drunk ass dating women, he's not horrifically deformed looking. In my life I must say that I have probably done worse than that with beer goggles on. And if I haven't done worse, then one of my friends has. No doubt.
It's really just psychology he is preaching. He takes these socially awkward, socially anxious people and teaches them how to interact with others. It has nothing to do with dating women. It could be dudes. He's like a hardcore bout of intensive therapy. That sucks, but it's just teaching some guy to replace his humanity and insecurity with some fake player idea that will prevent him from getting close to any woman ever.
At this point I should start discussing jukebox spots and cat fights and say how this sort of reality television reflects society, blah blah blah. But, I have to admit. I root for these guys. It's kind of nice seeing someone learn something and gain confidence even if it does make them mean and it's so ridiculous. It's disenchanting but you have to watch it to believe it. So do it up. It's worth the five minutes to learn a shit load of stuff about your personality (like Are you an axe murderer? Are dinosaurs awesome or just too large and forboding?).
