lesson #28: never go for guys who have better skin than you

It's true. Guys with flawless, smooth skin are usually pretty boys who know very well just how good-looking they are. They will make you feel self-conscious all the time, and when you're self-conscious, you can't relax. It wouldn't feel as if the two of you are on equal grounds if he's prettier than you, and it's almost impossible for you to feel empowered in the relationship. I think only girls with great self-confidence can manage pretty boys. For me, they're just too much of a hassle.


Took this quiz just now - it's quite fun:
"Your score as a human being is 102.35.
You are a pleasure to be with and a pleasure to be. Your friends do not envy so much as admire you, and you lead your life with grace, honor, and dignity. This site is humbled to have you take a test on it.
Which brings one to wonder, what are you doing goofing off on the Internet?"


Sounds promising, right? But then...


"Your girlfriend score is 53.
Wow, you've got a live one on your hands. It must be fun to have her going through your stuff, lying to your face, eating all your snacks. Even those Snyder's tortilla chips you like so much. I mean, it would be OK if she just bought another bag. Just get another bag! How hard is that, my God!?
Pretty hard, apparently. Lose her and try again."


I did the last quiz myself, even though it was supposed to be done by my 'boyfriend'. Oh well, I just imagined myself in the shoes of a guy who might be my 'boyfriend' and did it. I was pretty objective, I think. Anyway, the conclusion is that I am a fantastic person... but a nightmare girlfriend.


So the other conclusion is that I shouldn't be anyone's girlfriend, and just continue being human. I should just play the field, charming guys with my excellent human-beingness, but leave before I could become a nightmare. Sounds very good to me...
