Monday, July 17, 2006 || The good, the bad and the ugly.
- Ahhh, I came online to write this post, blissfully unaware of all the outdated 'ugly' hoo-hah in the blogosphere of late. Obviously, I've not been reading blogs at all. O_o
Pure coincidence, since *I* was gonna blog about how unfair the world is by putting so much pressure on girls to look good. -____-
Ish.
Anyway, my friend was telling me, yesterday, about one of her good friends. The girl is supposedly really short and overweight - since young - and is apparently super unhappy with her physical looks. =/
I don't know if she's tried dieting or anything, but she chose to "hide" her physical flaws by venturing into fully tomboy mode. You know the type, girls with guy-ish spiky hair, big baggy guy-ish clothes, yada yada. So she has like, tonnes of guy friends cause they see her as, well, a guy they can joke with.
But the thing is, she's STRAIGHT. And she's in love with one of her best friends, a guy, who's a good friend of my friend. (Omg, all the complicated social ties. Wahaha!) ... And obviously the guy doesn't have a clue, nor will he like her, since he thinks of her as a buddy. =/ And the girl can't bring herself to tell him or anything like that, since she knows it'll end up in a typical "I think of you as a sis/bro/friend" manner.
SO SAD LAH. I felt so sad and down for that girl when I heard that tragic story. Huhuhu. Seriously, one of the worst feelings on earth is loving someone you can never get. Believe me, I should know. =(
"At least she's not aloneeee. I'm also the same wat. *censored* STILL thinks of me as a friend and he doesn't like me too ...", I glumly told my friend.
"That one ar .... Errr, well. He doesn't like you cause you're not his type mah. At least you're not bad looking, you know? So somehow also if he finds out how you feel, the chances of him liking you back is still okay lah.", my friend said.
"Er ... I personally would never tell him. If that's the case, ask your friend to tell her best friend that she's in love with him lah."
My friend hesitated, and went, "Well ... actually I don't think she should do it. I heard all the guys talking about her before."
"What did they say about her?", I asked.
"... that she's kinda ugly."
...... O_____O SO MEAN.
Sometimes I hate guys. Of course, there ARE the nice ones, but the jerky ones REALLY suck. Of course, I won't claim that if I'm a guy, I would totally date a girl based on her personality alone. I wouldn't know, right?
(Of course, I'm no angel. I feel kinda guilty that there were times that my friends laughed at somebody else's physical appearance, and I laughed along with them. *sorry* =/)
DIGRESSING, speaking of looks, I reaaally liked this guy not too long ago, and I swear to God, every one of my friends freaked out when they found out I like him. -_- Cause he's not exactly stereotypically good-looking.
Even Christine looked super shocked when I told her I used to like him, over dinner just now. :P
See, the thing is, for the first time in my life, I liked someone cause I REALLY liked his personality, and not something totally superficial (which is my usual style. Oops.). And see what happens, everybody laughs at my apparent newly-acquired bad taste. =(
But it's okay. Things obviously didn't work out, but at least we're good friends now. :D Though after getting to know him a lil' better, I've discovered many weird things about him I didn't know beforehand. Like his incredibly BAAAAD taste in women. (NOT BEING SUPERFICIAL, but I don't find women in their 30s hot, sorry.)
"He has baaaaad taste in girls man ...", I hissed to my friend.
"............ YOU have bad taste in guys cause YOU liked him."
Err ... oops. Well, the world is so superficial. I don't like it. BUT as usual, there's nothing I can do about it.
I really wish all the best for the girl I wrote about, even though I don't know her at all in real life. Don't get your heart broken. =( Cause it's gonna take a much longer time to heal, though I guess it's better to have loved than to never have known what it feels like at all.
