here’s my ten cents, my two cents is free!

 

a nuisance, who sent? you sent for me?

so the other day jayjay and i had a discussion about pursuit and gender roles. i know that we are in the twenty-first century, but i have some pretty anti-feminist ideals. i am going to put it out there anyway. 

i firmly believe that guys should still be the pursuers, even though current teen magazines would describe how liberating it feels for a girl to ask a guy out. but ladies, don’t you know your worth? you only deserve the best: appreciation, adoration, admiration, and the list goes on. you shouldn’t have to move a finger because the best will come to you.

and if he doesn’t? then perhaps he’s just not that into you. but if he does like you and he still doens’t do anything then this says two things. one: perhaps he needs a little nudge, some guys are naturally super shy and just need assurance. two: he’s a lost cause because you want a guy who is confident and assertive– you will not settle for anything less.

i mean, isn’t any guy who subjects himself to vulnerbility and rejection worthy enough for your consideration? this is the greatest display of confidence and assertiveness. who’s ever heard of anyone looking for someone who’s insecure.

hi my name is jane and i am looking for an insecure, indecisive, lazy boy. you don’t often come across one of these characters– i guarantee you.

remember: a guy who does not pursue you is either not into you or he’s not good enough for you. in both cases, he’s not worth your time.

“She will and she can find a man who knows her worth!
Mmmmmmmmm

(Chorus)
‘Cause a real man knows a real woman when he
sees her (when he sees her)
And a real woman knows a real man
Ain’t ‘fraid to please her (please her)
And a real woman knows a real man always
comes first (first)
And a real man just can’t deny
A woman’s worth” — Alicia Keyes
