Re: Boys are dumb.

My loverly friend did a very short and poignant blog post a few days ago. It was extremely accurate and after years of personal research I have drawn the same conclusion:

Boys are dumb.

Now this was never up for debate, Meagan just felt it was important to emphasize at the time. I thought I would add to her post. And my added comment would be:

Girls are dumb.

Like really dumb. We fall for the wrong guys with the right hair. We fall for the guys who couldn't give a crap about us, and are very likely drooling over the girl sitting next to us.

And when a guy does show some interest? We either think they're a) desperate, b) creepy or c) too good to be true, so we decide it's not true and give 'em the ol' chuck-a-roo.

I am the queen of dumb sometimes.

I'll be blinded by fantastic hair and excellent musical tastes and glasses (oh, those bloody glasses!), and it will be weeks before I realize something like, oh, they deal drugs.

Sometimes we even go into creepy semi-stalker mode. I'll be the first to admit I've done that once (Beautiful Guy of 2002?) or twice (Poli Sci Guy Fiasco of 2006? We were all there when THAT dream turned out to be a super dud). And if you are going to pretend you don't sit at tables and talk about the hot guys sitting around or whatever you are a dirty, dirty liar.

We are a shameful gender.

So ladies, I am calling us out. WE ARE STELLAR. AND WE ALL DESERVE A NICE BOY WHO IS WORTHY OF OUR LIKE. So please do not settle for the super-duper duds just because they're there.

Fall for the Josh Groban look-alikes who write you songs and draw you pictures.

Go after that ridiculously hot guy (who might very well be gay) that serves you your Grande Non-Fat Peppermint Latte at Starbucks.

Pick up that dude you've been eyeing in your chem class since like week one.

Let's quit the dumb already.
