society irks me: a rant

SOCIETY DRIVES ME CRAZY LIKE NONE OTHER.

Okay, now that we've escalated and jumped the gun so to speak, I suppose I should probably clue you in as to WHY and WHAT specifically pisses me off about society. Namely, the relationships between men and women.

What was the first thing you wanted to be when you grew up? I, like a lot of little girls, wanted to be a princess like Cinderella or Snow White or Pocahontas (the list goes on). What qualities did these women (either real or fictional) possess that made them so likeable? To me, they were gorgeous, had hotties on their arms, were bright, and down-to-earth. And none of those are bad, correct? And ya know what else they all had in common? THEY WERE INDEPENDENT AND DIDN'T GIVE IT ALL AWAY ON A FIRST DATE. Okay, sorry for the rush ahead (again). But seriously. While we may not see the princesses go on their first dates, I think it's fair to assume that they would have been courted and not been the first in the kingdom to strip and give up their V-cards for some hotties. Am I right or am I right?!

I cannot tell you (no seriously, I can't) how many times I've talked with friends about this. So many women are making it perfectly okay for guys to want (and even expect!) sex and (other stuff that I'm not going to mention) before marriage or even before just dating. Too many chicks* give guys what they want instead of standing their ground. I'm not one of them. I WILL stay a virgin til marriage, which yes, is increasingly harder and more rare with society changing for what I believe is the worse. I want a man who loves God and me, who wants to wait til marriage and can show me the respect and love that God intended.

On a related note: many chicks have "lists" of what they want in a guy. Years ago, mine started off with, "Oh well he HAS to be cute! He HAS to be smart! He HAS to be Catholic! He HAS to be the funniest guy ever! He HAS to have a good career and money! He HAS to fun! He HAS to be nice!" Well, my list has gradually narrowed itself down to, "He HAS to be Catholic, or at least Christian!" and "He HAS to be sweet and love me for me and respect me!" Pretty simple, huh? Yes, of course it'd be fantastic if he was a hottie, goal-oriented, hilarious, and all that. But what matters to me most is his love for God and me (and his family of course, but hopefully that comes with the love for me and God).

Show yourself the respect you deserve, ladies and gentlemen! Have standards. Class not trash.

Sometimes you have to tell it like it is. And I'm not afraid to, nor am I afraid for a few rebuttals. BRING IT, PEEPS! I honestly want to hear your thoughts.




*whenever I say "chick" about a woman, I DO NOT mean it in a degrading way! I call myself a chick and my closest friends! I'm just super chill and basically a bro so I'm really loose with that!*



A closing quote:
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." ~Marianne Williamson

am I the only one who can't stand society!?

the question that titles this post might be inaccurate. but i think about society a lot.

society |səˈsīətē|noun ( pl. -ties)the aggregate of people living together in a more or less ordered community

society drives me absolutely nuts. not just the people that make up society, but also the things that they do. how they act. that sort of thing (if that makes any sense).
