Guys like this tend to be clueless about who they really are, so they cling to the things they THINK they know and value. I actually thought about this topic when I was watching 500 Days of Summer the other day. Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character is exactly the type of guy I'm speaking of. He falls in love with a prettier version of himself with boobs (small ones) and it all goes to hell. His little sister in the movie says something really awesome that supports everything I just said: "Just because she likes the same bizarro crap you do, doesn't mean she's your soulmate!" Amen, girlfriend.If my boyfriend had this attitude, we most certainly never would have gotten together. I emailed him yesterday to ask him what things we DID have in common, and this is all he could come up with: Sleeping, movies, food. Ha!
Tell me girls: Do you know guys like this? Have you dated one? And guys, why the heck ARE you like this?! What are the must-haves on your list when it comes to girls and dating?

Hahaha- psycho bitch made me laugh!
ReplyDeleteNo, i do not know guys like this, but i know pretty much everyone gets irritated when the opposite person isn't what they expected them to be (i.e. what they themselves would have been if they were doing role-play)- i don't know about romance, but THAT can drive friendships crazy.
Oh I love this! It's good to be your own person, ewww I know so many guys like this, it makes me all creeped out.
ReplyDeleteYou've got a wonderful blog, I love it loads!
xoxo
It's true, who wants someone who does/likes all the same things they do?? When would you get a chance to breathe? And when would you feel like an individual?

Haha I love what your bf came up with. I used to worry that my bf and I didn't have THAT much in common, but we do with the things that count ie food tastes, relationship commitment etc, but I also love that we are both so completely different. I still have to see that film but what you have said makes complete sense!
ReplyDeleteummm... according to the list I might be a semi-psycho b****? And yet... I am still single...
ReplyDeleteThanks Patricia :)
ReplyDeleteYes, Girl on Raw, def see it. It's soo good! And yeah, don't you love how food can bring a couple together! ha
Jen, I just meant that a girl could be all those "perfect" things, but still have issues. Props to you if you really do like football and change the channel when GG is on. You just might be every guys' dream! Finding a confident, secure one is the key.
Well this explains why I'm still single. Obviously, I'm too much of a guy!
ReplyDeleteJenn...Berry...
ReplyDeleteim not much on Dexter, but would never dream of watching gossip girl. call me
you make a very good point. i think i may have this disorder. i've always dated guys that more or less were a male version of myself: cynical, sarcastic, emotionally unavailable, contradicting personality attributes, hypermasculine-(military, atheletes, freakishly tall, etc)-(i have some masculine tendancies whilst being the girliest girly girl--my fav color is azalea, i have a mini poodle, i drive a stick--fast, i like to play sports not watch them, etc)
ReplyDeleteobviously, i've got some issues to work out, lol....
Haha, Flip. FnF is the new Match.com!
ReplyDeleteGirls, I don't think it's BAD to be like the girl I described (those kind of girls are cool), but maybe the right guy for you will be someone who's different than you are. I'm talking more about dating someone who is too much like you.
Hrm, Nadette...well at least you are aware of it! Now it's time to find a short dude who wants to talk about his feelings! ha :)
short? talk about feelings? i dunno ellen...i dunno, lol
ReplyDeleteHaha, sorry, Nadette! I was just trying to think of something OPPOSITE of what you described ;)
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and totally LOVE LOVE LOVE reading it!! I love Gossip Girl and pretty much everything equally considered "girly" and am proud of it and if that counts me out of the Joseph Gordon-Levitt crowd of men, so be it.
ReplyDeleteThe writers of "500 Days of Summer," really did an excellent job of highlighting what you're describing in this post. As a guy, I don't even realize that I'm judging girls in this way. All guys want a woman who is beautiful and fun. And usually fun means that the girl you like is into the things that you like. But ultimately, I guess what's important is that she tries to get into the things that you like.
