The Liz Lemon Syndrome

"You are stunning... but you were stunninger with your long hair." A compliment.
Now if only my hair would grow back so I might win back the approval of boys. Do you know how many boys in my life have made similar comments?

1. "You look good, but why did you ruin something good?"

2. "You looked better with long hair."

3. "Did you cut your hair because you knew I liked your long hair?"
Because that's what women do, right? We destroy the physical appearances you love as a form of vengeance/punishment. Take that for never showing up on that date/calling/texting me back, but expecting me not to "date" anyone else! *snip, snip*

I don't need you to make me feel good about myself. I love wearing my hair short, and I shouldn't have to justify what makes me feel good about myself.

On a similar note...The other day I had coffee with a guy I've known for years. After a really great discussion he tells me, "This is why I could never date you-you scare me."

Why do I scare you? lolzzz: "you intimidate me" ...oh
"you're very intelligent and independent, and beautiful too." ...is that so?

If only I could go one way, ya know? Why do I make this simple life so complicated for the other gender? If I were just beautiful, boys would like me because I wouldn't make them feel stupid. If I were just intelligent, I would be ignored by boys and enjoy a solitary life with my cats. But smart AND beautiful? Whoa, whoa, whoa. What am I doing? WHAT AM I DOING?


I just want to be stunninger.
