Today I was listening to Blink 182 (don't even, they're amazing) and was obviously thrown into a reminiscent journey through all my past boyfriends/crushes/guys I stalked, and it became, not so much clear, as unpalatably undeniable, that I have a real appetite for "weird" guys. (Not ground breaking news, I do have a point. Surprisingly though, it does not involve Courtney having sex). And although they are all different, and no doubt great in their own right, "weird" is an adjective that could effortlessly cast a net over every one of them.
Attraction is a super fascinating yet sometimes bizarre thing, blah blah blah, and it's usual for people to be attracted to someone without the smallest hint as to why, yadda yadda yadda, but I really think there are types of boys that are generally over-looked that really need to be re-evaluated. Not because crushes and relationships are SO IMPORTANT but because there are so many super boy-babes out there that just don't get the time of day from other super girl-babes because of certain points that can actually be really fun if seen from the right aviators. The amount of times you hear "there are no good guys in Perth", "I'm not attracted to ANY guys I know", "I'm an unimaginative doofus", really grinds my gears. IT'S JUST NOT POSSIBLE TO BE IN A CITY WITH OVER A MILLION PEOPLE AND THERE NOT BE ANY "GOOD GUYS". JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
Think about this:
Hot: Computer nerds
Shit girls think: Ew. Smart guys are idiots. They smell funny. They only eat it Twisties. Get a fake tan.
Creative girls think: Incredible internet romance involving super detailed Photoshop images and cute flashing GIFs that you could only dream about when you were 14 and your Msn display name was ~***>> DnT seTTL3 4 tHa 1 yo0 caN liiVe wiF, waiiT 4 tHA 1 yO0 cNT Liiv3 wiiFouT <<***~. Free and easy access to any movie, TV show, game, software, or music ALWAYS. Never sleeps so is always available for drunk chats/4:00 am hang outs.
Hot: Possessive
Shit girls think: Go away and let me chat up this hottie with 16 abs
Creative girls think: Edward Cullen
Hot: Mental problems
Shit girls think: Fruit cake. Nut bar. Loose canon. Give it leg.
Creative girls think: Fruit cake. Nut bar. Loose canon. FUN!
Obviously this isn't for everybody. It is for me though cos there is NEVER a dull day with someone a few bricks short of a shed.
Albeit, I am pretty good at sorting out other peoples mental issues, and I do have a high tolerance for crazy (refer: every friend I have ever had), but once you get past the initial "next time, when you want to call me, please make sure it has been at least 3 1/2 minutes since the last time you have called me" and the "I know you really like bubble wrap and everything but do you think maybe we could get a real mattress? Cos this 'bubble-wrap-tress' of yours is really starting to hurt my back", they can make the most devoted, passionate, inspiring, and inventive people to be in a relationship with. We've ALL got our troubles, theirs are sometimes just more well known. Honesty. You like honesty, right?
And hey if they're creatively talented which 98% of them are you'll probably get songs and paintings made for you. Better than a Hallmark card.
Hot: Imperfect bodies
Shit girls think: Go away and let me chat up this hottie with 16 abs
Creative girls think: Generally better person. It's being shallow and judgmental but seriously while Vin was flexing muscles in the mirror, Seth Rogan was reading an insult book and watching Teen Wolf. It's true.
So when you meet a guy and you feel a little uneasy because you've never been with someone like him before and you're about to say "naaaah, he's not my type" - STOP. FUCK YOUR TYPE. YOUR TYPE SUCKS. IF YOUR TYPE WAS SO GREAT YOU WOULDN'T BE SINGLE RIGHT NOW. YOUR TYPE DOESN'T LIKE YOU. MOVE ON. It's not lowering your standards, it's opening your mind to testing whether you REALLY want what you think you want, because you can never know unless you've tried it. Who would've thought that Ernie Dingo was right on the god damn money. And the illegitimate children.
