Okay, you know what bothers me?
Girls that make their life complicated. They MAKE it complicated. It isn't. It doesn't have to be.
But for some girls, there is just this insatiable desire for complication. It's like they have a free plane ticket across the country but would rather...ride a giant sloth (sorry, still thinking about Kristen Bell).
Exhibit A (this is going to be the only exhibit needed to prove this case):
You go out with a girl and have an awesome first date. She says she wants to go out again and even sends a post-date text that is very sweet. (You later google it to find out that she got the exact verbiage from a post date website--but that is besides the point (wait, but besides the besides the point--who googles texts? okay, both in that account are weird, but we are just in the pre-amble--bare with me))
You wait the prescribed 2 days and then call her on day #3. After some small talk about how "C-RAZY things have been" (even though you saw her at the tanning salon, her daddy doesn't make her work and she is only taking 6 credits) you break into next steps.
boy: Hey, want to go out this weekend?
girl: yeah, what day?
boy: Friday?
girl: Busy.
boy: Sat?
girl: Busy then too.
boy: Busy this weekend?
girl: Yeah.
boy: Then why did you--
girl: Let's go out next week.
boy: Okay, you pick a day.
girl: What about Thursday?
boy: Ummmmm...I think that can work. I don't usually plan that far in--
girl: Oh sorry! I can't do Thursday.
boy Wait but you were the one--
girl: Well, hey, I've actually got to go right now, my...[awkwardly searching for word] "friend" is coming over right now.
boy: "Friend"...eh?
girl: Well, you know. It's complicated.
boy: So are you.
girl: What?
boy: ....
This happens more than you would think. Look, ladies...we are big boys. Just tell us you aren't interested if you aren't. If you are--make it easier on us. You may have (want) drama in you life, but this show is Days of YOUR Lives. Why would you even ask what day if you knew you were busy? Why would you take so long to say the word "friend" unless you were looking to stir the pot? Why do you have to go and make things so complicated? (...shoot, that just came out. I promised I would never use and Avril Lavigne song in my blog posts. Darn you Carson Daly and your dynamic hosting of TRL.)
Oh and if you do have some really "complicated" things going on, maybe you should figure that out first. Because last time I checked, this isn't some Southwest flight--baggage does not fly free.
bahaha...southwest
ReplyDeleteMost girls aren't like this. You always pick the extremes for your examples. Maybe your problem is that you always go for the same type of girl. Listen up, if you want to date a certain type of girl, you're going to deal with the same drama. Look around you, Zack. There are a lot of pretty girls around here and many of them aren't the complicated type. Branch out a bit.
ReplyDeleteSo, tell me more about this post date text website... And lets see if it can't be a la Carson Daly.
ReplyDeleteshould have known at the tanning booth! haha
ReplyDeleteI agree with Zach. All girls cause drama where it isn't needed. Even those girls who are stable and claim they don't do this, do this to some degree. I've observed it in awe for a long time. Even I do it. This is why I could never be a lesbian (And I'm not attracted to women) but I give Kudos for those who choose to date women, because we kinda suck sometimes.
ReplyDeletehey in my experience guys totally do this too.
ReplyDeletebahahaha most girls will say guys cause the drama and most guys will say girls cause the drama. i guess we'll never know since no one can give a genuinely unbiased opinion about that...
ReplyDeletePart of your problem is you played it wrong. Your "prescribed" 2 day waiting period wasn't enough time. If the girl was a typical molly byu girl 2 days would be enough typically, but the girl your describing as a tanning spoiled type means she needs to get played a little bit harder. Actually a lot harder. Maybe if you had waited a least a week to call/text and asked her to do something on a weekday she might have been down. Consecutive fri/sat type dates can sometimes freak girls out. Luck to you buddy on the rest of your ladies
DeleteWhy would you want to date a girl who tans, doesn't have a job, and only takes 6 credit hours?
ReplyDeletein response to the above comment....maybe it was a really nice tan? and...O-chem? ANYWAY....zack oates! i know you! pretty sure you know my former roommate (abby rich) and high school buddy (bret martineau) and you once came to my kitchen in arizona with my roommate (meghan whalen). talk about connnnections! i think we should trade guest posts. i would love to host something of yours; yes please!
ReplyDeleteOh so much to say and I'll just simply put it as this. Women can make things complicated, men can make things complicated. Men and women deserve each other. haha
ReplyDeleteLet me profile this chick:
ReplyDeleteBlond or dyed brunette/black
Orange
19
Drives a red vw or red mazda 3
LOVE LOVE LOVES things
Is way into things she can't have, as in guys that are impossible.
This is the type of girl that you use as a spokesmodel, and advertising tool, NOT a girlfriend. :)
And my question is this... do you have any idea how bad tanning salons are for your skin? Shame Shame, I know your name! (Sorry, I'm an anti-tanning, anti-melanoma, pro-healthy skin advocate!)
Women have no idea what they want most of the time and even if they do, they don't want to be with that type of person as well.
ReplyDeleteDon't listen to their words and instead look at their actions.
It's less conflicting and their actions mean a lot more.
Women always like to think they are complicated and make things complicated for themselves to be "interesting" but they fail in the end anyways.
Don't fall for that trap. Always think about how to simplify the woman instead of how complicated it is.
You will realize how simple they are instead.
Lmao!!! as a guy let me say this. We are simple, not complicated, yeah im sure you get that. Listen... what makes women even more complicated is this line right here:

Ummm if your simple, this doesnt go down period!!! lmao!!!
I don't think women mean to be complicated. Processing is hard sometimes and they don't always make things complicated for themselves to be interesting -yes I'm referring to you, last anonymous post. While I have had my share of crazy women roomates, I have also known the most incredibly humble, nondrama, beautiful girls this side of the Mississippi has to offer. I think it all comes down to compatability and timing. Women wouldn't have to be so complicated if guys were easier to read.
ReplyDelete1. do we play hard to get?
2. how do we do that??
The list is endless, really. Men are just as(or more) complicated as women.
we are very easy to read. we require only three things in life, sex, food, sleep. lol whats so difficult about reading that? Problem is women over analyze things way too much to the point where the simplest things are easy to look over such as guys and how we are read, thus ya'll are extremely complicated!!!!lmao
DeleteI really hope i dont make anyone mad, the truth is, it is what it is. analogy for ya- crazy ppl dont know they're crazy!
