Insight into Women

I know this bit of information will be beneficial for all men. And since...well, ZERO men read this blog...this is THAT much more beneficial.

Women want to be wanted. And we want to be needed. And we want to be just liked. By everyone. It doesn't matter if we'll actually date a man long term or marry you or birth your children (yeesh). We just want to be desired.

Women also do this thing where they think they aren't enough. Not smart enough, tall enough, thin enough, muscular enough, independent, kind, helpful, gentle, loving, talented...WHATEVER enough. I was totally down in the dumps today and feeling all not enough. Because I am a woman and well, I do two things very well. Actually, I do several things very well but that is neither here nor there. With respect to men, I do two things very well: overanalyze and worry that I've done something wrong. So there I was: thinking I was not _______ enough.

And then we went to see my favorite Texas country singer and I sang loud and proud and had a few drinks and I was way-over-the-top-enough. And I spotted a boy. And I thought to myself (except for the fact that I verbalized this thought in a high-pitched squeal to my roommate), "He is so cute!" I think I added that he was too cute for me and he'd never go for me. I have practially non-existent flirting and game-throwing tactics, while my roommate is the Queen of Attraction.

I am proud to say that I have learned a few things from TV. She taught me how to throw game and I initiated contact with a COMPLETE stranger and reeled that boy in, in a matter of 30 minutes. He totally went out on a limb and got my number.

And then I found out that he's cousins with my roommate from college.

No sheet. Life is short. Where there's a will, there's a way.
