I bet
this song popped into your head huh? Although the song is catchy, her clothes in the video are fun (my favorite is the pair of purple pants), and the message is important, that is not the point of this post.
The point of this post is to inform you of a little project I am about to begin. A project I want YOU to be a part of.
I was speaking to a certain young man this morning at work...*cough* Dave *cough*...and he made a pretty bold claim. He said that if there were more educated girls, when it comes to dating, there would be fewer jerks. He claimed that it was all the girl's fault when it comes to jerkish guys. I quickly and quite forcefully disagreed. Nevertheless, he stuck to his claim. As the idea sat in my mind, and I went home after work to take a shower (where I get all my best ideas) that seed he planted bloomed, into a wonderfully fantastic idea.
Dave claims that girls are the ones that ruin things, but what about all the boys who never do anything with girls? Whether it be because they are scared, emotionally scarred, under-knowledge-able, or just plain stupid, they too ruin things for a lot of girls. So, Dave decided that he wants to start educating girls about dating, from his perspective. MY idea, which of course is far superior, is to have a panel of women-from all ages- answer questions about dating, relationships, and what they expect from men; thus giving me the fodder to write blog posts about the results and educate the MEN about what women want.
Now, I don't like making sweeping comments or categorizing individuals into groups, but I feel as though there are some pretty basic ideas that would make the dating game a whole lot more simpler.
To get to the point of this post, it's to ask your help. I need girls who would be willing to be a part of the panel. This would involve answering questions through email, a few times a month. The answers will be completely anonymous and only for the educational benefit of the men in our lives :)
I want this to be a fun upbeat project, without man bashing. Although everyone can get frustrated with relationships, this is only supposed to be a fun and hopefully witty way to get information about what each gender expects from relationships and dating.
***Disclaimer for the men: This is in NO WAY comprehensive of every girl you will ever meet. We are not our gender, and we are individuals who are defined by personal likes and dislikes. SO if you have a question, ask and we will do the best we can to answer it. But really, the best way to go about things is to ask the girl you are wondering about. She will know better than anyone what she wants.
If the thought of asking her a direct question makes you feel like hurling and your palms get so wet, they drip, use these blogs as a conversation starter to hear her opinions about things. Be Classy and tactful, but straight-forward.
Oh, and ladies, if you are interested in being a part of the panel go ahead and shoot me an email (which you can find on Facebook, or by leaving a comment here!) let me know what you are thinking and let's get this started.
Until next time,
H.
