Sexy, shy nerds. Sometimes, we girls like to play them. But most times, we are them. I know I am. I used to think that life was a movie, that is... until I woke up...
We’ve all seen it before on a Hollywood set, an attractive young nerd falling in love with either her flirty, hot boss or the school athlete and player. At first, it’s very innocent and neither know what’s going on, BUT THEN the magic happens. They go to the school dance or some office party and what happens? Our beautiful nerd walks in having shed her pant suits or graphic tees. She dances on delicate heals, her hair finally from the messy bun she hung it in all day. She's beautiful and free and missing one very important accessory. HER GLASSES!
Let me get back to that. First, I will tell you a bit about myself. I am a proud dork who has owned giant, dork glasses since the age of four. Now, I have complied a list of reasons this movie stereotype is wrong and people need to know!
You Have To Get Rid of Your Glasses to Be Beautiful
Lies! Lies! And more LIES! You can be beautiful whether you wear glasses or not. I remember when your got your glasses snapped off your nose just because. Now they’re “hipster glasses”. So now you can wear them and be cool, ladies.
If You’re Really Quiet And Good at Your Job, Hot Guys Will Notice You
WRONG! if you’re really quiet and good at your job, no one will notice you. I’m sorry to say so, but people rarely notice good people. They’re too busy handling either A) their own problems or B) problems that other people made for them. They have no time for good people! Instead of just working and leaving, try to have conversations with people. Then they’ll notice you.
Bad Boys Become Good Boys When They’re Influenced By a Good Girl
Very rarely. More likely, a true “bad boy” is going to use you. He won’t even think twice about it. You’re way better off going and finding yourself a nice guy. Leave the "bad guys" to the "bad girls”. Leather is not something you want to settle down with. It gets worn and wrinkled and it will always be leather. I would go with some nice jean. Old-fashioned, weird and fades, but at least it has good personality.
The Notion That You “Are What You Date”
I feel like it’s a contest. It’s not the personality of the person you date or anything, it’s: Is the sex good? Did he take you to that new movie? Is he a “manly man”? Does he makes good money? Does he let’s you be an independent wonder woman? Does he totally wows you with how romantic he is? Does he let you live an entirely sepetate life during the say as long as your come back to him at night?
Now I have a question for you. Who cares? I want a relationship that’s right for me. It doesn’t have to fit what other people expect, if he makes very little money, I don’t care. I just need enough to pay the bills. If he’s as weird and awkward as my boyfriend, he is probably not going to wow you with his romance. You just need to know that he loves you and you don’t need to be reminded every day with giant gestures. Sometimes, the little stuff is very romantic too.
So, this myTake is basically about not getting your self-worth from romantic movies. Your life isn’t a movie. It’s life! Get out there and be yourself. Don't be that typically overly shy nerd who magically gets the hot guy. Be the weird awkward girl who gets the perfect guy for her! Not the perfect guy for anyone else. This is your life, you need who you need. Get a life partner based on more than a movie scene. Get them because you love them.
