after such an EMO entry yesterday, i decided to find a good book to curl with from the library. i found three that caught my eye. but max fiction book to be borrowed is only 2. so i started reading the 1st one yesterday, non stop (except for a break for my evening jog. a must ok? haha. and dinner which ended up longer then i expected) that book kept me occupied and distracted right up till the end!
i LOVE chick lits!
i slept at 2am reading it :)
the blond theory
anyways, the book is called "the blond theory" and its about this lady who is an attorney, a patent attorney, the youngest in the firm to make partner, yet still single at the age of thirty five! it seems that the more successful she gets, the faster they (men) run out the door. she is a pretty blond lady with brains and body that has the right curves at all the right places (with the help of a girdle.haha!) and no one seems to want to go out with her. they stay long enough for the first few dates and *poof* out the door they go running! sad ain't it? so her friends decided to come up with a dating scheme where by she doesn't say that she's a smarty, instead she acts like a total dumb blond! adding the word "like" in every sentence, flipping her hair every moment, talking with a higher pitch, wearing sexy outfits (yet they are designers) which she would be caught dead wearing and like being totally stupid bout all the basic things and like so totally whatever. haha!
she discovered that men absolutely fall for girls like that. the bimbo kind. the dumber they get, the more they want them! whatever happened to decent guys who accept girls who has the whole package - brain and beauty? very depressing to know this. its as if it is wrong to achieve your personal goals and dream big in becoming successful yet the downfall to that is being single for the rest of your life.
i don't wanna be like that!
anyways, these are some rules her friend's mum (its been passed down from generations it seems), the cardinal rules on dating:
- always let men open doors for you.
- never second-guess a man.
- don't sleep with a man or even ask him up to your apartment on your first, second or third date.
- never babble and make the man work to find out more about you.
- never be an open book, always remain a mystery.
- always stand up straight.
- don't touch him too much, because u appear needy.
- always act just a little aloof, so that he feels he has to work to earn your admiration.
- never act that you know more than him, that can be emasculating.
- make sure you let him know that you need him. not that you need a boyfriend but you need him specifically.
walaupun ini hanyalah buku fiksyen, tetapi setelah membacanya, die ada poin jugak tau. memang betol, men are intimidated by smarter women. no wonder those successful women are all growing old and alone. exceptions for those who got married first then become successful lah kan. hubby being the backbone of the success..bla bla bla..
being a blond does get you around things easier, right? you just giggle away, flip your hair occasionally, battling eyelashes. well of course it doesn't only apply to blonds but yang seangkatan pun we do call them dumb blonds. but the, the whole point is to be yourself, be confident and secure with what you have instead of acting like a totally different person just to get their attention. right?
i don't know.
insecurity.
small word with a big meaning.
ok. i'm starting to think again.
not good.
i'm gonna start on my next book now.
have a good day :)
xoxo
