Warning About Moving to South Florida

Hey there! It’s your friendly, neighborhood, South Floridian. If you’re considering moving to South Florida, I have one warning for you:

1. Don’t be a single, college-educated woman looking for love.

Ft. Lauderdale is literally the worst place for women like us to date. I wish I was kidding. It’s the pits.

If you’ve read my most recent post about having a long-distance crush, it’s not because I’m psycho obsessed and lovelorn. It’s because there are literally no decent guys down here (the last one got engaged a week ago)... You have to outsource your dating life in order to find someone remotely decent.

First, lemme tell you about the guys down here.

The guys down here are rarely, if ever, college-educated. If they are, they’re usually taken, aren’t interested in a relationship because they are focusing on their careers (because it takes so much thought and concentration), supposedly just got out of a serious relationship (keyword: supposedly), or are straight-up players and douchebags. And the reason why is because the ratio for college-educated women to college-educated men is nearly 2:1. That’s almost doubled!! Fuck that noise. I’m not a competitive person. Plus, I don’t feel like competing for a decent guy who has no interest in a relationship.

Noncollege-educated men are even more prevalent. They usually work crazy hours in order to manage their lifestyles of pretending to be rich and about something. They tend to have hobbies like being a rapper, music producer, guitarist in a band. Hobbies in which they feel will get them ahead in life. Now, I’m not the one to doubt anyone’s goals. However, if you’re not making any money from it, smoke weed every day and are still confused as to why you’re broke as shit, then maybe you shouldn’t have quit your day job.

You’re probably thinking this is the case everywhere. It’s not. The fact that decent heterosexual men have told me that the men down here are shitty douchebags, that’s a really bad sign. The fact that they noticed how other guys are is incredibly tragic. 

On the upside, if you’re a single, college-educated woman who is just trying to get laid and has no interest in getting into a relationship, then South Florida is the place for you!

Off My Chest

I told everyone that the guy I like rejected me even though I never told him my feelings for him because I didn't want my friends to bring him up in conversation anymore.

Plus, I'm about 99.999% sure he doesn't feel the same way about me anyway. It's a long distance crush, so I already felt/feel stupid for having it, but I've never in my life felt this way about someone.

Now, I'm sitting here debating whether or not I should tell him how I feel just to get it off of my chest. Oh, teenage angst! ...except I'm a 25-year-old with a degree and a full-time job and bills to pay. What I'm saying is that I shouldn't be this old feeling this way. 

At least, I don’t think so.

I don’t know if there’s a reason for me to confess to him. I don’t know if these feelings will go away. If there’s no positive benefit to doing something, is there a reason to do it?

Phone

Every time I come home from an outing, I look at my phone to call someone so we can talk about our day. I used to have someone like that, but once I realized he wasn't treating me how I should, I cut ties with him. I miss talking to him, but he wasn't really deserving of my time.

[inequalityforall]

They say when you love someone you should let them go and see if they’ll come back. 

But I’m selfish.

I want everyone I love to be near me.

The thought of anyone straying away from me is heart-wrenching.

And that’s a mere thought.

When it actually happens, it’s something unfathomable. Something so difficult to swallow, so difficult to digest, you feel like throwing up.

Your stomach physically hurts.

Regurgitating incomprehensible words that you hope form sentences that are a bit palpable to the listener’s ear.

Whoever that’ll be.

You want to talk to everyone, yet nobody at all.

You want to take on the world, yet shy into a corner.

You don’t know what to do.

But you do.

You want to talk to them one last time.

Just rewind time, and talk to them.

Say what you wanted to say and hope to God they take you seriously.

Hope to God they pleasantly digest your words, so when they go, you’ll have that peace of mind that they knew exactly how you felt.

The Guy Whisperer

I believe I've told you about how I tend to attract guys who talk a lot. I call myself the Guy Whisperer since I have a secret skill for getting guys to open up to me. And by "secret skill" I mean I listen and take a genuine interest in what he has to say. -___- That's literally it, folks. Anyway, dating sucks. Like, a lot. Firstly, getting a date takes forever. You have to go out and meet someone, or go online and find someone you're initially compatible with. They have to find you compatible too. You two have to converse, whether it's through texting, Tinder, Facebook, Kik, Bumble, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, Happn, Coffee Meets Bagle (which sucks by the way), reddit, OKCupid, Plenty of Fish, Match, or, ya know, a phone call. Then you two have to schedule a date and commit to it. And then, after 7 cancellations and reschedulings, when you're finally on the fucking date, you two have to figure out if seeing each other is worth each other's time. After deciding this won't work, you have to begin the process all over again. I got exhausted, frustrated, and angry just writing that shit. I'm 24. Never been in relationship. I lost my virginity just last year. I have been riddled with anxiety of the thought of being mistreated in a relationship because of inexperience that I thought my lack of experience would make dating harder. However, due to having the chance of really getting to know myself, and from the amount of guys I've gone on dates with, I can say I'm more ahead of the dating game than I initially thought. And I'm ahead the most in communication. People just don't know how to communicate anymore. Tell me if this conversation doesn't sound familiar: "I watched an awesome movie last night." "Oh yeah...! I watched a super weird movie on Netflix the other day. It was about....." "That does sound weird. Did you like the movie at least?" "My favorite part was when the main character was eating spaghetti. I love spaghetti. I made the best spaghetti last night. It had...." We still don't know what the first person's awesome movie was or even about and we're already onto the next topic. The second person stole the show. The show that isn't even a show. It's just the art of being fucking considerate. In a nutshell, that's how all of my dates have been. They don't bother getting to know me. They just talk and talk and talk. And I, not being an inconsiderate person, am forced to listen and listen and listen. They feel that by simply asking "How are you?" they don't need to know anything further. I'm really interesting. And if you don't want to bother getting to know that then why the fuck did you have us go through all this trouble to schedule a date? I could have been doing something more worthwhile like watching the grass grow. Guys, if you take interest in someone, get to know that person! If they say they hate their job, ask them why! Don't just start talking about how boring your job is. We're not talking about you right now. But we will in literally one minute.

Catching up

It's been awhile since I've posted something. Honestly, I've just been procrastinating and reluctant to. So to catch up on what's been going on in my life: 1. I got a great job in February 2015. 2. I finally moved out of my parents' place into my own place which I bought in October 2015. 3. I was taking improv classes from June 2015 until like November or something, can't remember haha! 4. I started doing stand-up a little, which is what I've always wanted to do. 5. I've been dating more.......ish.

To the guys I’ve dated this year

I wouldn’t really call it dating. More so me wasting my time listening to you. Because that’s what I did: listen. You never really gave me a chance to talk because you ran your damn mouths every fucking time we would talk on the phone or meet up in person. Just because I’m in to video games and I told you what I like to do doesn’t mean there isn’t more to me than that. Fuck you guys. One guy in particular named Tie. I honestly don’t care if you see this because you sure as hell didn’t care what I had to say anyway. Tumblr readers, this dude was sooooo fucking pessimistic. Every conversation we would have would turn negative real quick. And not the emo sad, dark kind of negative. The Oh my God talking to this nigga is draining my energy kind of negative. I’d come home from talking to this guy fuming as if we had an argument. And don’t get me wrong Tumblrs(sp?), I enjoy a heated debate as much as the next woman. But when you’re talking to someone who cuts you off after every 9 words or so that comes out of your mouth, you have that realization mid-convo of Why the hell am I talking to this guy? Why can’t he let me get my point across ever? I’d come home fuming because I had so much to say that I couldn’t say because he kept cutting me off. And then this dude would have the audacity to text me after I left saying “great conversation!” WHAT CONVERSATION DID WE HAVE?! The one where you just ran your mouth like it was trying to win the cross country Olympics? Even on the phone this guy would run his mouth. I would legit doze off and on on the phone with him waking up in time to hear the last 4 words he says and then agree or mumble something coherent. That’s all he needed. What I don’t understand anymore is why don’t a lot of guys ask questions past “How was your day?” For example here’s a typical conversation I would have with a guy:

Guy: Hey how was your day?

Me: It was alright. Work kinda sucked. Boss was on my back all day! How was your day?

Guy: Well it all started in 1919.... [rants for 5 hours]

Now I’m not saying all guys are like this. By no means is that the case. It’s just a lot of guys I’ve been meeting lately have been like this. I like to listen to people. I don’t mind handing someone the mic to spit. But that doesn’t mean that you can hog the mic the whole time we’re together. Be considerate of the person who is listening. Because, unless you’re venting, then ask them a question, don’t cut them off, or just stop talking. That’ll let the other person know it’s their turn to talk.
