Guest Blogger 9: Love and Other Drugs

-


Hola I'm guest-blogger Ashley from She Who Will be Tamed, anyway!



I have a bone to pick about society and love. Especially love songs.

Why the hell are all of them so damn whiny? It's not that it's just whiny, they're borderline pathetic and almost suicidal. 

Has anyone notice the trend where men are all like, 

"I can't believe you don't love me, look of all the things I would have done for you," which of course, sounds sweet, until you get to the hook where they're like "I would have jumped in a grenade for you, in front of a train for you". 

That's not sweet, that's not romantic and I hope to God nobody really expects the love of their life to jump in front of a damn grenade. The real story is, why in the WORLD is someone throwing a grenade at someone? A friend of mine was like "don't take it literal, wah wah" but I think it's sending a bad message out there for men and women. 

Honestly, if some guy told me that, I'd be quite terrified there's a huge difference between being madly in love and obsessive "I'm going to throw acid fluid in your face if you don't stay with me" love. 

Which is quite terrifying.

 Like dude, I know I'm pretty damn awesome but you gotta let me go, do me and stuff. I don't know, nowadays, the media is doing such a horrible job with love. It's either movies that guy meets girl, girl falls in love, girl does something messed up, guy runs away and then he realizes that she's his "one true love" or vice versa. 

It's a bunch of crap. 

They make movies about women being so desperate for love that they will do anything for it, one more that made me rage was What's Your Number, she slept with almost TWENTY GUYS, ohhh no, she must find her one true love before she hits twenty. 

I did the math and if home girl is 30 and if she started sleeping around when she was 15, she slept with 1.5 men per year, I'm not very good at math but my point is, I can't believe there was a whole movie slutshaming a thirty year old woman. 

It was horrifying, the whole movie her friends were like "OMG, SLUT, keep your legs closed". 

What the actual fuck?

 Nowadays, the world needs to embrace that women sleep with more than two people in their lives, back in the days, where women got married at thirteen, yeah, it'd be kind of weird if she slept with more than five people but women usually don't marry until well into their thirties, if she hasn't slept with at least one guy in her life...well...I applaud her.

 Good for her. 

I'm glad there are people with willpower but don't shame those who like to test the car out before they commit to it. What annoys me about media, well, the world, it's all about women needing a man, if she's well over her thirties she better jump on the first thing comes her way which has been a huge problem for me. 

I don't know how many cougars I had to fight off of the guy of my choice because she's too busy clubbing every weekend, looking for someone to fill her "soul". What's wrong with having a hobby that has nothing to do with love? It seems like if you don't have love, there is something wrong with you which I have a problem with that.

I'm not the type of girl who's looking for love, quite the opposite, I'm running in opposite directions. I'm the one who breaks up with a guy because I need to "live my dream" which usually involves going out with my friends and stumbling down the seawall, looking for my lost shoe and headband, drunk. 

Which is OKAY, if that's you, don't be ashamed of that, I'm twenty two years old and to me, that's young, well for me, I commend those who are my age and who are married. It means you are ready for love, people like me, aren't. I haven't experienced the world, hell, I wasn't allowed to date until I was eighteen, do the math, I've only been dating for FOUR YEARS. 

So when people side eye me because I have yet to find the one, it's like bitches, I can spend my money on a three hundred dollar Coach purse, have a strip-tease dance off at my friend's room and have sex with whoever I want, trust me when I say that I'm not entirely too upset. 

Sure, I want to settle down, I've met the guy who is PERFECT FOR ME but trust me, it is rare where I'm wailing "Bridget Jones'" style that I'm not married. 

So anyway, I just don't get why society is portraying everyone so damn pathetically, men are writing sad ass songs, begging girls to stay or either songs about girls pussy popping, same thing while girls are some sad specimen that sing sad pathetic songs or the sad girl who's chasing down a man to marry her.

Note to the media, not everybody is sad and pathetic. Please stop treating us as such.

Eight Things I Will Never Apologise For!

1.           THINKING THAT ZIMBABWEAN MEN WHO GET RAPED ASKED FOR IT. Glad I got that one off my chest, and it’s true. Drive down any highway, Main Street, under any bridge, walk through any forest, go behind any building and you are bound to see at least 5 men urinating. You think the world is your urinal, whipping out your junk every opportunity you get and expect to get away with it. Just as you justify raping a child, woman, girl, baby. I to would justify raping any man who so carelessly displays his wares. If you don’t want it then keep your junk in your pants! 2.           HATING SOMETHING EVERYONE ELSE LOVES Let’s see, that would be puppies, cats, corn flakes, that stupid series 24 which translates to a total disregard of that famed agent Jack Bauer. Following that I hate crowds and small talk, yes even if you are my friend, either get to the poi...

How To Get Your New Man To Throw You A Party On The First Date

                                It's quite an accomplishment to get a woman to go out with you, it is quite an accomplishment to get the lady to love you. With that in mind ladies when you start dating a guy you deserve a party for being so pretty/awesome/having such beautiful hands/fine skin/lovely eyes/ such a throaty voice. All of that should be celebrated, so when he starts a conversation, here's how it should go. “So what do you want to do? Movie? Dinner?” You should answer, “How about a party…for me?” “A party?” “Yeah, it will be a good chance for me to meet your friends and for you to meet my friends.” “A party?” “It doesn’t have to be a big party…although that’s what I would prefer. It could just be at your place with a few friends and drinks.” “Okay.” “And then after drinks we all ride in a limo to the ballroom you rented and meet the other two hundred guests. It could be ...

Why You Should Get Married Before 21 :)

If you are me, explaining ceaselessly to your 6 year old sister why you aren’t married is tedious. Being cross examined by a 6 and 12 year old is slightly worse. “V how old are you.” (Mumbles appropriate age) “How old is cousin V?”  (Not to be confused with V me) I mumble a number which makes her 2years younger. It takes N about an hour to figure this out. Large numbers are still a bit of a problem for her. “But she’s having a baby, why aren’t you?” “Well…” I struggle to find a response, 6year olds are robotically engineered and any question is most likely a double entendre. “You see,” I continue in my best grown up voice, “she is married and I am not.” Big N who is beginning to understand life a little better pipes in, “But you are sooooo old when are you getting married? I am telling you, by this time next year all the boys will see you as an old maid.” “But you have a boyfriend; doesn’t he want to marry you?” N whines “You s...
