A friend of mine was telling me a story of a hookup gone cold because the guy she was being hooked up with, thought she was "too pretty to be single" and hence he was potentially wasting his time!! I was deeply perplexed on why pretty girls seem to scare men off! Guys, what's the problem??
So she's drop dead gorgeous but does that mean she has a boyfriend? No. The dilemma of pretty girls is that potential boyfriends or even husbands make assumptions about their relationship status and no one dares to make a move because of the fear of rejection. Newsflash guys, a pretty face is not licence to a lineup of suitors. Not to blow my own trumpet, but I could relate with my friend's story because a couple of times I got to hear the same thing about myself and I remember being slightly peeved as to why a guy could not approach me to ask questions instead of making assumptions. Now I know that some pretty girls look unapproachable and this does not necessarily have anything to do with their character. I'll use myself for example. In university I was told by many that I often had a "shove off my face" expression and so guys were skeptical about coming to talk to me. I found it to be news to me as I was not aware that I was expected to go around with a smile on my face!! Lol.. Now that is taking it a bit far but what I am trying to say is that my facial expressions when walking are not suited to a specific mood and because I was not deliberately trying to get hitched, there is no way I was going to go around with a look on my face that says, "hey dude, I'm single and available so feel free to try your luck". My expressions were just my expressions and nothing more! Anyway, not to digress from the subject, the introduction of facial expressions was to allay some of your likely assumptions that pretty girls remain single because they are either already hitched or unapproachable as a result of their character or facial expressions.
I know this is not such a serious problem because any real man who sees and knows what he wants will go after it like a deer pants for water! I can testify *winks* :)...
A word to the guys...... if you see a pretty girl whom you are attracted to please walk up to her and try your luck, you just never know! ;).. And if you are too nervous to ask her, look for her friend and ask questions, don''t make assumptions! As I normally say, "assumption is a termite"! (Don't ask what it means, think about it for yourself with your God given brain!)

Lol @ 'shove off my face!' and 'Assumption is a termite'- I think I got it! I can so relate to this post. I think unfortunately some guys are just insecure, otherwise why would you not bother with a girl just cos she's pretty?! Like you said, 'any real man who sees and knows what he wants will go after it like a deer pants for water!' Lol! Guys you've heard it, a word is enough for the wise!
ReplyDeleteA word to the guys...... if you see a pretty girl whom you are attracted to, before walking up to her, please check to see if she has a ring on her finger or with someone else! Many men have received holy slaps for assumption, lol. The deer that pants for water checks for the presence of lions and hyenas before dashing for the water o, lol. The best strategy is to roll with the "Who wants to be a millionaire" pattern, use a lifeline and ask a friend before diving, lol...Just playing devil's advocate. Excellent post :)
ReplyDelete#gbam! @ I know this is not such a serious problem because any real man who sees and knows what he wants will go after it like a deer pants for water! I can testify *winks* :)...
ReplyDeleteWomen don't scare my at all.All i just need is to like what i see and i'd be on your case like bread is on butter.
@9ja-great, you couldn't have put it any better! I like a man who knows what he wants so kudos to you!
ReplyDelete@Anonymous, LMAO!! Why did you post anonymously na? I need to know who you are! Your post had me literally laughing out loud when I woke up this morning. The funniest part is "Many men have received holy slaps for assumption, lol. The deer that pants for water checks for the presence of lions and hyenas before dashing for the water o, lol."... Thanks for the comment and the words of wisdom, let the men hear!
