Food For Thought

....they say you are what you eat. Are you also what you attract?
The guy that I have manufactured in my head (in terms of physical appearance) never quite matches the ones that stand before me. Probably because I haven't reached my goal size. *eats carrots*
They're usually good on paper but aint sh*t less than average in person. Does this mean I'm an average chick? ((>>> channeling Dana Gilmore with that question)) What woman wants to think that she's average?! I'll put it like this: I've got a lot of things to offer. I'm on the cusp of something great. ;-)
Some of these guys have been selfish in more ways than one. Am I selfish? As much as I would like to write "Absolutely not!" The truth is that I can be. I think its a combination of my experience as an only child and the evolution of my personality. So I guess the selfishness that I see in them is the same selfishness that I see in myself. I think the guys and I have positioned ourselves in a "take it or leave it" stance. At times, it has bothered me at all. Other times, I've gathered my things and left the situation.
I do believe that we attract reflections of ourselves. Mirrors if you will. I think we also attract the potential we see in ourselves. They're good on paper. But I want something a little more tangible than a resume/curriculum vitae. Well  I guess this all boils down to one thing: I need to become the man I want to date marry (paraphrasing Annette Benning's character in  The Women)

Thoughts?!

  1. My believe everyone I have dated possesses qualities I do not have and I have tried to become more like them. I am undoubtedly selfish, I am loud, I am a planner etc.. Everyone has been giving, calm, and go with the flow. I love dating my opposite.

  2. Dating the opposite can be as fun as it can be frustrating. Lol. I'm not a go with the flow girl either. I was really attracted to this guy was uber spontaneous. But sometimes I just wanted him take several seats. Lol. But I learned that I can be loose.
