What do men think of weird women?

Men call me weird all the time. Socially awkward too

I really just think those guys are assholes. But I'm too nice to call people out on their bullshit so I let them insult me over and over while I smile uncomfortably.

Then I came across Lana Del Rey aka Lizzy Grant.

And I have to admit... I find her "weird"... As in, she's weird... To ME.

And this is not an everyday occurrence for me to think someone is weird. I guess now I know how people feel about me. They probably think (actually I hear it regularly): 'somethings not right about that girl...'

I've long related to her music and certain themes within such as being a self sacrificial lover, just being codependent on a man, depression, being overemotional, wanting an older man, wanting a daddy, wanting to be a sugarbaby type (not literally just viscerally... I'm very childlike and need protection and gentleness but I am not very materialistic I do expect the man to provide 100%)... Stuff like that. So while I do now see her as weird both in her lyrics at times and in her personality/presence... I do relate to her. Lol.

I probably am a lot like her without realizing.

So as subtly unnerving as I may find her... That's probably how many others feel around me. Its funny seeing the shoe on the other foot.

We all have our quirks that can be thought of as weird but i say embrace our weirdness. If everyone were the same then the world would be a boring place. Always been a big fan of Dr Seuss and this is my favorite poem of his:

Today you are you,
That’s truer than true,
Cuz there is no one alive,
More youer than you

Love Dr Seuss as well! I don't think they make em like him anymore do they?

[Asker]

Also wish others thought the same as you...

Funny thing about Seuss is people thought his work was for kids. Some of his stuff is a little risque and he was way before his time.

People are too busy being judgmental instead of using that time getting to know others. Once you do the things you thought were weird all of a sudden are what makes that person beautiful

[Asker]

Interesting perspective. I also have to check out Dr Seuss stuff more and see what you mean :P

Because of your open mindedness I guarantee you when reading his work you will have the feeling that he had you in mind when he wrote it. Just a couple quick ones:

1. Why fit in when you were born to stand out?
2. Be who you are and say what you feel, because those that mind don’t matter, and those that matter don’t mind.
3. You have brains in your head, you have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.

Weird holds a unique place is today culture. Everyone strives for individuality... but its one thing to be unique, but at what point does being different become weird?

To me to it becomes weird when its rooted in some type of insecurity... especially when the can't see it in themselves. For me weird is not a good thing, because people can use it to justify a lot of things to themselves...
