Hello everyone on my least favorite day of the week,
Okay so this isn't really a long story post like I would normally post, but I came across this video today and I am just so in love with it.
First before I even get to the part where I show this video, I would like to make it known, that I love love love men! They are seriously the good Lord's gift to women everywhere. Even some of my lesbian friends can appreciate a good man from time to time, that is how awesome men are.
No matter how sexy, chiseled, sensitive, funny, intelligent, wonderful, out and out HAWT men are, I do have an issue with the men in our world. It is as though they always expect us gals to be dressed to the nines, hair perfect, make-up on like we just left Sephora, as perfect a 10 could be while they don't understand how them wearing something that says "I just left the gym... two days ago" would bother us. What happened to that Tim Mcgraw song where he was getting all dressed up to pick her up and openin' up windows, sweeping floors, and cleaning his truck just to pick her up to watch tv? When has the dress code and all around how we look/behave in front of our partners become a double standard? If we have to have faces like a super model and bodies built just like a coke bottle and have to give them what they want their way like we are a Burger King, why don't they?
My friend Destiny sent me a picture a long time ago of something on Twitter that I found very very amusing. It says:
"Why the hell do guys expect so much from us like they want us to have a flat stomach, big ass, big boobs, pretty face, and a perfect personality while some of these guys look like fucking apes bye."
I seriously could not have put it better myself. Guys have ridiculous expectations of women. They want us to be gorgeous all the time but natural. Their version of natural is what takes me 30 minutes to get into. Like come on man, my lips are not naturally tempting red and my hair does not smell like salon after sleeping for 9 hours. Don't even get me started on the intimate stuff. They want you to be stripped down, spread eagle on the bed before they even walk through the door. Come on y'all, haven't you heard the 3 date (at least) rule?! I don't think they appreciate the effort. Or the whole "Well, I took you on a date so.." SO!? Does a mildly inexpensive dinner at a chain steak house mean you are now entitled to the password to the mysterious speakeasy under our dresses? NO!
So, this video is a parody to Robin Thicke's song "Blurred Lines." Apparently the original Blurred Lines video is raunchy and sexist. I just watched it, and read the lyrics and although it is an enjoyable song in a catchy sort of way it is, well, sexist. It basically says "we men don't need to have any ties to you or owe you anything to get what we want out of you." It also insinuates that that is what women really want anyways but we are "good girls" and pretend otherwise. So?! Of course we all want to have an Anastasia Steel and Christian Grey thing, maybe even right from the moment you walk through the door. But how would a guy see a girl who let's him pass go and head straight to her vagina jail like a game of Monopoly? Yep, checkmate darlin', you won't be getting those Valentine's day flowers this year for sure. You are now his hit it and quit it and hit it again when he feels like it because you let him.
Side note- When a guy suggests hanging out with me, it is supposed to mean actually hanging out. Sometimes their version of hanging out and mine are totally different. I don't mean come over and expect me to step out of the outfit I just carefully organized so we can "hang out" your way with your wang out. I can't stand that! Just a little something else I got from this video.
I say kudos to you Auckland law students. Your video gave me quite a good laugh about a double standard my friends and I ponder on often. If we have to jump through hoops to be perfect, why don't they?
Before I end this, I want to say I know that all guys aren't like this. And it is okay for a man to expect his woman to be the sexy siren he started dating most of the time, but we want you to be the fine hunk of man we met that first day too.
Stay classy my friends, it's the new black.
