Okay...the only way to sort of clear my douche status reputation that I've given myself for making that blog "Types of Misses to Stay Away From" (now featured on Mancouch) is by looking at the top 10 Misses to stay with. Jeeze I hope there's more positive feedback on this. =/ No "No girl could ever be that good" ahhh STFU.
1. Miss Sweet and Innocent EnoughShe's sweet. She's level headed. She's a good girl who you could just tell will be a positive influence in your life. Not a controlling type, just a positive influence. She knows how to keep her bad habits in check and you can't help be to want to keep yours in check when you're around her. She's innocent enough to where you just know she's not going to manipulate you or pull a Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde on you. So she doesn't necessarily have to be devoted to her church and a virgin until she's married. Still, Sweet Girl is definitely a keeper.
2. Miss AmbitiousAnother positive influence on your life is not bad at all to keep around. One girl I knew had all the same goals as me but had a different approach to getting there. Needless to say I wanted to keep her close because not only was she just an amazing person, she didn't let any one or any thing stop her from taking the next step towards her goals. She has dreams, but she also takes action. And I'm definitely not the type that likes to be left behind so I know I'll try to keep up.
3. Miss TalentedIf you were in a group of guys and said this, they'd all think the same thing.
The first lyric that popped in my head was "tryna get some brains, tryna find miss know it all" and if you're "hip" to the new lingo, you can guess that knowledge is the new BJ. Anyway, I love a girl who's really talented at one thing or sort of a jack of all trades. Sure, I like a girl who can cook, but a girl who can cook well? Definitely puts a smile on my face. If she can sing, play an instrument, draw, speak a different language, or write well...I can't help but think "My girlfriend kicks your girlfriend's ass." She's definitely a keeper.
4. Miss MommaEventually I'm gonna have a kid. Some don't want kids or whatever, that's cool. World's overpopulated anyway, right? But there's this big smile on my face when I see a girl who's gets along well with kids and babies. I remembered one time I snuck up on my then-girlfriend when she was singing Disney songs to some of these kids. It was seriously heart warming. I'm not the best with kids. I'm either the coolest guy to them or I suck. So I feel a girl who can understand kids and who's good with them is a necessity because I'd really not like to have my mom raise my kid for us. XD
5. Miss Secure. That's easy. The opposite of miss insecure. She doesn't have to be too confident or cocky about herself, but she doesn't let her flaws get the best of her. She just focuses on the good things about her. She's not quick to label you a cheater or accuse you of something you did. Not only is she at peace with her own flaws, she's also knows what she wants. She's definitely into guys and not just any guy, she's into this type. She's the type of girl to make me feel less insecure about myself because she's just so secure about herself that it's reassuring if I'm with her. Keep this girl.
6. Miss TreasureIn my mind, no girl should ever be a settlement girl as in you couldn't get what you want so you settled for what you could get. Even the misses that should be avoided will find SOMEONE who's willing to put up with their crap. But every girl is sort of a treasure in her own way. The ones who are hardest to get usually are the best types. Not just because she's a tease, but because she's got a lot going on and if you can't keep up in her life, you're not worth her time. She's basically Miss Independent. They gave me this speech when I entered the military talking about feeling proud because I'm part of the 5% of Americans who join so the other 95% doesn't. Well when you find your Miss Treasure, you're part of the 5% of guys who's she's met and was willing to take a chance on. Don't screw up!
7. Miss Best FriendI wrote about this in Zen and Relationships.
"A relationship should have a foundation of friendship. Friends support each other and allow for imperfections and flaws. It's easy to have fun around your friends and even in when you need to talk about your relationship, you run to a friend. It's sad to say, but a lot of couples pressure each other and add excess baggage with demands, expectations, and jealousy. They hold each other to standards of how they believe the other should be in order to make this relationship work when in reality, if they gave each other the space and respect friends give each other, they can be friendlier and genuinely supportive of each other's wants and needs instead of just the needs of the relationship.
It's easier to talk to each other because by understanding your relationship and friendship, you feel comfortable talking to each other. When you poke at each other's flaws in a jokingly manner, your friend foundation should teach you to laugh it off because it's not a big issue and it's nothing to start issues in your relationship. If you're the defensive type, if you learn how to be a friend with your partner, you can stop lashing back and enable your partner to feel comfortable and not like he/she is walking on eggshells in fear of you lashing back at whatever they have to say." Nuff said.
http://romeosintuition.xanga.com/705818940/zen-and-relationships/8. Miss Set You StraightFor those confused guys out there, if you find someone who makes you sure of what you like, keep that person. If you're not sure if you like boys or girls, keep the person who makes you sure. But also, if you're the player type and you just like playing the field, keep the girl that makes you wanna change your ways. The girl (or guy) that makes a positive change in your life should be someone you'd like to keep around. Inspirational girls or the girls who don't even give you the chance to think twice are a must.
9. Miss Healthly and LivelyThere's so much fast food and junk out there. It's kinda sad to think of all the bad things we do to or give our bodies. So naturally, the girl who keeps you eating right or stops you from smoking so much or drinking or doing drugs is a girl you'd definitely like to keep in your life. I'm not talking about control freak. I'm talking about a girl who increases your awareness of the importance of being healthy. She's just a great girl to be around. Great body. Good, healthy appetite. Doesn't waste too much money on junk food. If you don't like exercising, she'll be sure to get you burning calories one way or another. She won't be rude or judgmental if you eat steak four times a week, but she'll probably whip you up a great fruit salad that you both can enjoy.
10. Miss Your Type of PerfectHonestly, you don't need a blog like this to tell you who to keep and who not to keep. You'll just know when you meet her that she is your type of perfect. I was a bit of a geek/nerd in high school and my first love was the girl who played co-ed football. Of course that was when I stopped being afraid to talk to her and when I got to know her, she was a hopeless romantic aspiring singer/actress/animal doctor. But when the chemistry is right and you feel it...don't hesitate to chase after it and keep it and work through your differences, because they say perfect doesn't exist. Nah. Perfect exists all right. Not everyone shares the same perfect.
=P Feedback and help. I had a hard time with this one.
Comments (86)
My ex-boyfriend failed to keep #1 (me).
And #9. I would've stopped him from smoking.
Aw, nothing bad to say about this. <3
But otherwise, btw, good post
I think this list is very sweet.
that's so sweeett, but sometimes number one isn't so innocentt. hah.
@omggjordannx@xanga - That's why it says "innocent ENOUGH" lol =P
@Dustin_wind@xanga - haha. true.
Good post
Good post! :) I enjoyed it. It's sweet too!
after reading your post on "types of misses to stay away from", i must say this is an excellent counter-post. you won't have any women bashing you for this post for sure, ahaha. these are two excellent posts! its unfortunate some people don't understand the humour and intent behind the last post. i personally think the categories are well thought out - i know if i did a post like this, i'd rip my hairs out just thinking of 5 categories! you've definitely redeemed yourself with this post (for the xangans that bashed you for your last post anyway).
yay* good post.
aiming for the stars much? stop exaggerating our gender roles and get real with the fact that women are people too. a relationship isn't about any of this bull shit. its about communication and the willingness to learn. i read your first post, so i see where you're going with this... yeah, girls can be controlling, clingy, annoying... whatever. but step back and take a good look at yourself. MISTER CRITICAL.
Same thing as the old post ...
@youreMINEalways@xanga - XD I guess someone had to bash it. But really, if you can't fit ANY of these, you should be single forever.
#10 is the best, most definitely.
why would people even bash on your first post in the first place?
i guess their definition of humor is different, to say the least.
I just recently pulsed about how my friend told me to stop looking for sweet and innocent girls because they don't exist. I refuse to believe him! They don't necessarily have to be pure, but like you said sweet and innocent enough.
Good post, once again
I thought your first post was awesome in and of itself--and accurate. Too bad it was so poorly received (judging by your first paragraph) :(
p.s.--I think no. 7's the best.
I need to work on number 3. With school and work I have no time for hobbies. I really want to start taking guitar lessons so maybe soon I can :]
I see so far one person has taken this too seriously. Why? haha.
@youreMINEalways@xanga - i really hope you're being sarcastic.
if you're not...why do you assume that this is about gender roles? i see nothing pointing to that. at all.
if you can't fit into:
"10. Miss Your Type of Perfect
Honestly,
you don't need a blog like this to tell you who to keep and who not to
keep. You'll just know when you meet her that she is your type of
perfect. I was a bit of a geek/nerd in high school and my first love
was the girl who played co-ed football. Of course that was when I
stopped being afraid to talk to her and when I got to know her, she was
a hopeless romantic aspiring singer/actress/animal doctor. But when the
chemistry is right and you feel it...don't hesitate to chase after it
and keep it and work through your differences, because they say perfect
doesn't exist. Nah. Perfect exists all right. Not everyone shares the
same perfect. "
then have fun being lonely for the rest of your life. especially with the attitude you have.
but if you're being sarcastic...then disregard this.
I like this post. :D
mmhmm this is definitely sweet :)
