Embody everything mentioned in this song, and I'll meet you at the aisle...
No lengthy intro today; I read this, found it amusing and then decided that as a Feminist trying to create equality in Kuwait, I should compile my own version of this list. Here goes:
Real Guys: These guys are your buddies; gender does not exist around these guys because they're your friends. Laughs, jokes and advice are the bread and butter of these relationships. They'll always make you smile. I love them like family, and adore them like a schoolgirl.
The Bell Boys: Very sweet, overly kind and considerate. They'll carry your books, pick up pens you've dropped and more. All these things make it even more difficult to let them know there's no future there. Be careful not to use them to simply tend to your ego or boost your own self-esteem. People are not meant to be used like toys. I'm a bad person, and so I try to protect these people from myself, because they don't deserve to deal with my issues.
The Untouchables: These are guys you respect and admire, but there's really nothing like that there. Take in their wisdom, and learn what you can from them. They're something of a one-way road, so don't over think things. These guys confuse me, end of story.
The Smoking Guns: Last but not least, we have them. Oh yes, these guys are dangerous in every sense of the word. They'll change the way you think, the way you see the world. Speaking to them will be a rush, only matched by the intensity in which they keep up intellectually. At first glance, they're not your "type", but they'll make themselves your type. Be wary of them, or they'll wear you down. Also, they are very, very rare so think carefully about where you want to take things with them.
Suffice to say, human relationships both fascinate and confuse me. Also, I love boys. Do you see my dilemma?
Taking aim at her (alleged) intimacy issues,

PS - Comment and below and let me know what you think. Recognize anyone off the list, perhaps yourself?
I just stumbled upon this! Scary how I wrote something similar a while after.
ReplyDeleteFlawless categorization. We fall for and are infatuated with the Smoking Gun, want to fall for the Bell Boys for their sake but can't stomach the thought of all that nice, and we have a love/hate relationship with the Untouchables.
I think I'm in love with this blog.
My, my you sure do know to make a girl blush! Your praise humbles me. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteLove; what a beautiful and painfully blissful topic. While I love pondering its existence and discussing it, I find it to be a subject best left to fiction writers and movie-makers, aka it's too draining for me to ever partake in.
I've decided to extend this broach into human relationships into another series. Once again, thank you for the compliments and inspiration.
