See the thing is. I've always felt I was hard to get. In the quality sense of the word. As in. I'm a quality chick. A boy would be lucky to have me (as I would him, assuming he's awesome). And to get into my heart. Well that's pretty fucking hard. Just sayin'. But somewhere along the way I got all mixed up with what I thought being nice and breezy and go with the flowy wise. Plus the whole ya know...used to having sex like a dude...slash...thinking about sex like a dude...slash...wanting sex all the time like a dude. Really clouds your judgement sometimes. Just sayin'.
So perhaps I've been going about this all wrong. This whole dating thing. So here's the change. And I know it'll sound simple at first. Oh so very simple, you might not even spot the difference at first.
I. Will. Be. Hard. To. Get.
I. Will. Be. Hard. To. Get.
So this is me, SSDated, telling all of you. Kind of like a contract. I will be accepting no shit. I will not be stooping from my station. I will not be getting down and dirty in heated nights of passion strings flapping in the breeze. I will be sexless. And focused. Mamma's got her head on straight. Because you know what. Even in the conceptual round of booty calls. I've been accepting too little. In the future I will only be dating boys who are gentlemen, who think I'm beyond fantastic, who swoon for me. In the future I will only be taking part in raucous romps with a man who is so intensely into me he can barely contain himself. He should think I'm so beautiful it hurts. So funny he might die. So delicious he never needs food again (don't worry though I make a mean sandwich, I'll keep him fed). Now I'm not saying he has to be nuts...and fall in love with me overnight because that's not what I mean. But here's the thing of the thing. I will not hold my breath for boys who think I'm awesome but there's something "missing". I will not waste time on boys who feel I'm "awesome" just "not awesome enough".
And who knows. Maybe between all the studying. I might find that I. Meet a boy. Worth swooning over. And not simply because we're feeling lusty at that exact moment. A fickle bitch that lust is. But someone of quality. Who sees that I'm of quality. And feels swoony for me in return. And his Chuck Norris sized balls. To go after what he makes. To claim his prize. Me. Because after all. Maybe there is a boy out there worth waiting for, who one day might say those words that I would then return right back [I'm Retarded For You]




well said! i think we could all take something from this :)
ReplyDeleteOK let me be the first to call bullshit. Not bullshit in that you don't mean it - I think you do but I think you'll live this for maybe a whole month or two.
ReplyDeleteAssuming you enjoy sex (with the right partner) I think your approach above is seriously flawed. You appear to view sex as currency and more specifically, currency that passes from the female to the male. I'm all for most of what you said above but I think it's an error to link it to sex at all. I think you need to go out and have GREAT sex because that is what YOU want. Not because he expects/needs it and he has earned it in other ways. Equally don't withhold sex because you feel you're "giving it up". Be honest with yourself. Be honest with your dates. Get what you need from your relationships and understand that ultimately we all get more or less what we give.
Finally, I think the douche-nozzles of this world tend to get noticed because they're aggressive. The nice, shy guys don't typically come on like you say you want a man to come on - readjust your expectations or approach because I don't think the two are compatible.
A whole month or two huh? lol...ahh the faith.
ReplyDeleteWhile I agree sex shouldn't be treated like currency...you're also subscribing to a world that doesn't exist...one in which the majority of males do not judge females for their sexual prowess...sure there's lots of you that don't give a shit...others say they don't judge the chick they bang on the reg. but when asked why they don't date her...it's more than simply...lack of common interests...the judgment is there... conscious or not.
But all that being said. You said it perfectly yourself. I am being honest with dates. Frankly I just fucking posted my like life story and sexual sluttihood and what's changing on facebook/blogger/twitter and to anyone who asks. Can't get much more honest than that. And here's the thing about sex. I don't want a one night stand. I want sex with someone who thinks I'm amazing. And with that person. I'm giving it up you can bet your ass. What I don't want. Is someone who hims and haws over me. Can't make up their mind. NOT INTERESTED ENOUGH.
But either way. I don't know if you're a reg. reader b/c you're anon but if you're not you may want to go back and read some entries about the nonchalance I've been putting up with. I'm not witholding from dudes who are in love with me. Shy guys offering me the world. I'm saying I'm not going to hang out with half-assers anymore. Plus ya know. Personal decision and all that. Every chick's case is different :) Thanks for commenting :)
Ah, you posted as SSD... tracing that back to a real person is challenging. I don't want to minimize what you've posted - that isn't my intention.
ReplyDeleteWe all want our partners to be good in bed and I personally think that's more important than 90% of the rest of the shit we usually rate our mates on. But that's chemistry. You like kink or you don't. You're willing to try new things or you're not. You think missionary is everything or you think it's to be avoided at all costs. These aren't trivial matters.
I've been a reg for a while now and I'm familiar with the history as you've posted it. I've also suggested since day 1 that Nick needed a kick in the slats and you should have run for cover. If what you're saying is that you're done putting up with that shit then amen sister. ^5, turn out the lights and lock the door on your way out.
I have faith!
ReplyDeleteThere comes a time where all the casualiness gets old and lonely.
YAY YOU!
Demand more for yourself. Be true to your self respect. It will be hard. Do not kid yourself. My first year of being hard to get, was killer.
But now men know just by looking at me, that I'm not one to screw around with, otherwise they lose their chance, any chance all together.
Not just to date me, but to be my friend.
I'm proud of you! woot woot!
Stepping stones to learning bigger and better things.
ReplyDeleteI had a similar revelation about a year ago... and I feel better about myself now. It doesn't mean you can't ever have meaningless sex... sometimes that is just what you need. It's an attitude. Good for you, girl!
ReplyDeleteI like this post - I totally agree about finding people who think we're fully awesome (and who we think are awesome too) rather than hoping that someone sitting on the fence will jump off on our side.
ReplyDeleteYay! Woot woot! I fully agree with this sentiment. I don't think it's about sex as currency, but more as self-worth. Just the idea that you want sex to be with someone who thinks you're awesome and vice versa. I can't wait to read about it :)
ReplyDeleteHmm although I acknowledge what anon is saying, I think the "free love" ideal pushes it a little bit. The facts of the matter are that in boy brain: sex = chick is easy to get, no sex = chick is hard to get. Regardless of whether the girl enjoys it or not, if she gives it up, they won't take her seriously.
ReplyDeleteIn a perfect world, we'd find our perfect mate, have sex immediately and live together happily ever after. But that doesn't happen in real life... and why? Because men rarely date girls they've slept with already- it sucks but it's the truth.
Having fun is a great time and is totally okay if you're nonchalant about it... but when you expect more than that- it becomes counterproductive. Personally, I congratulate you on your decision. You are worth more than that.
Good for you girl! Do what feel right for you and don't worry about what anyone else thinks.
ReplyDeleteThat said, although I am sure you'll last way more than two months if necessary, if you should slip up and get busy with a dude while you're on this journey that's cool too.
As I said before, it's all about you.
