Honest and Rude are Not the Same Thing

Hey Fellas. Here's something that is not hot. Being rude, and pretending like you're just being honest, and were duty-bound to spew forth your toxicness.

Here is my response: No. No you are not duty-bound to be rude.

To say to your loved one, who is expressing concern for your well-being "shut up and back off" might just acheive exactly that. Said loved one might shut up. Might back off. You may not hear from them in any meaningful way again, because your hostility indicates that their opinion is not valued.

Here's an alternative. Say "that's an interesting way to look at it. Here's how I see it. These are the facts I base my opinion on. I guess you and I just see things differently. That's why I choose the path I am choosing. Thanks for taking the time to worry." Or, even "respectfully, I choose not to follow your advice." Or, "thanks for thinking of me!" But definitely NOT "SHUT UP AND BACK OFF."

Taking the energy you have to aim acid words and angry attitudes towards those who love you is silly. You're kind of missing out on all the perks of the relationship. Also, you're no fun to be around. And it's not hot.

On the other hand, it does make me happy to be single.

I was at the store the other night and I walked past this guy leaning way over the jewelry counter and his friend said to him as I passed "man, that girl was looking at your booty!"

I totally wasn't. I almost turned around and demonstrated to him what that would look like.

Creepy Guy Night

So apparently Monday is creepy guy night at my local grocery store. Just ran out to get a few things, and there was a creepy guy on almost every aisle. And one hot cashier. Who made up for the creepy guy that was two feet shorter than me and gave me the up and down on my way back to the front of the store.

I know I'm Hot, but...

Why is it that at least 2 out of 3 times a guy has hit on my lately (because, you know, I get that all the time), it has been when I have had virtually no makeup on, my hair is in a pony tail I did not look in the mirror to affix, and I feel ooky. It happened again today. I was coming out of the library thinking about how I hate mean people, and especially crabby women, and some guy was all "hey, beautiful." Really I'm surprised I didn't get some serious flirtage on my way out of the gym tonight, because if the No Makeup Ponytail look is hot , then the No Makeup Ponytail Bright Red Sweat look should be smoking. Can I hear a "How YOU doin?" boys and girls?
