Curls & Twirls

I know I should be studying right now, since I have my freaking mocks tomorrow…but still I’d rather waste time listening to “Tangled up in me” while writing crap. Aish, I am so full of crap. Seriously.

Anyway, today I was chatting to a friend who is online 24-7. Seriously, there’s never a time I come online when he’s not on, and he always “nudges”/msgs me – so it’s not that his computer is just running, he’s actually there! And he’s in uni, and in Australia, and even with the different timezones and the assignments (he claims that’s what uni’s all about!) - I still manage to catch him online E-VE-RY time! Seriously… some people are addicted!

Anyway, that’s besides the point. The point is, we had this conversation. He claimed that in relationships, the girls get the better end of the deal. Guys have to make the first move, guys have to pay for the dates (which is hardly the case nowadays, actually…!), guys have to “pop the big question” while all the girl does is sit down, relax and go “ini-mini-miney-mo!”. I admit, this is usually the scenario…only when the girl you’re chasing looks like Jennifer Lopez!

True enough, you do get those girls who have guys falling at their feet like flies. But guys, if you want to be one of those flies, you have to accept the circumstances. I mean, it’s a package deal. You want a hot chick? She comes with competition. When I tried to explain to my friend that perhaps he was chasing the wrong kinda girls, he claimed that he was the “sweet guy” who never gets the ladies. Oh my gosh. I beg to differ! No no no! Not that my friend ain’t sweet…but whatever it is about him that is repelling those girls he’s chasing after – it ain’t because he’s sweet! The last thing on earth that would send a girl running is a sweet guy!

Let me tell you about one of my good friends, let’s call her X. She’s been through quite a number of guys who’ve had the “accessories” – be it looks, cash, charm, etc. But now she’s seeing this guy who is totally different from her usual prototype. Seriously, when I met him, I was like “Whoah…what a swing!” And when asked how she fell for this guy, she simply said “He’s so sweet! Seriously. The guy is just so sweet. Among all the guys I’ve dated, I’ve never been more serious about a guy before.” I rest my case.

And the irony behind this… X used to date the net-addict. So really guys, if you think your sweetness ain’t bringing the ladies…it’s probably because you haven’t quite mastered the art of being sweet.
