lately Im terribly averse to being called down to earth because in my experience, being down to earth has been nothing but a burden since i was old enough to start dating. guys apparently claim to like girls who are down to earth and for all the reasons that make it rather unflattering to us. somehow down to earthers make great hang buddies because we are cheap dates. we shun drinks like Amarula which come with a high maintainance tags and basically anything we cannot drink out of the bottle. several times we even feel inclined to buy a round or better still we go Dutch.
It is deemed acceptable to take us to Wandegeya for a quick meal without feeling like we just might trip. You do not need to pick us up, we can just board a matatu and find you wherever you are.
I guess the saying is tru that we really do attract who we are. When we were at university, a guy asked you out on a date and being the down to earth girl that we were, we felt slight remorse at making him spend so much because we reckoned he wasnt earning that much money anyway. So we would order the usual coke even when we were craving a glass of wine, just so we can take it easy on his wallet. (big mistake) . The very same guy would a week later be out on another date at a posh place with someother high maintainance girl. He will even be buying her a cellphone, paying her hair dresser and all the things we thought he couldnt afford.
So someone please tell me where it benefits me to be a down to earth girl cause clearly no guy wants a real relationship.
Worse still, they feel victimised after they are dumped for someone with more to offer. It often makes me wonder why guys even feel fleeced, its all in the game and they beat you to it. No good intensions on his part either, for every dinner, he at least feels he deserves a kiss and with tongue. And when they are left out in the cold, suddenly they are victims.
So these days, guys actually find it suprising when they invite me out and I clearly state that they shouldnt be late and shouldnt forget their wallet either. Brutal I know but works for me, as the ones who wanted to exploit my earthiness often take off anyway. And I forgot to mention that now theonly thing i guzzle are Long Island ice teas. Just so u know!Labels: I dont drink Amarula |
