Sick of the Misogyny

Now on the other side, JimBob #2 WAS my so-called ideal. Funny, outgoing, artistic, and the butterflies stirred themselves into a little tornado in my stomach. But ahhh, he was fresh out of a 3 year relationship. Mr. Unavailable to anyone except his ex. We also spent time together…he would make remarks like ‘if only she was more motivated in life like you’ ect. I should have known to turn and run once he started to compare us out loud. But he made me long for him for a LONG time (over a 2 years and closer to 3 if you round up). I became addicted to the anticipation of ‘maybe he will pick me’. I tried my best to be ‘his best’. From info that I gathered I paid attention to what he liked in women and made myself into that image as best I could. With JimBob#2, it was a fight and I was willing to stick around. I wasn’t a complete idiot. During this episode I did date around. Mostly to make him jealous and see that other men desired me. Evil, I know. All that became tiring. I couldn’t get up on that stage for another show. Since raising the white flag and giving up, I have truly matured and rightfully settled with a man that is NOT my ideal but is wonderful to me. Ironically he is much like JimBob#1
Reading this article and everyone’s responses has shed a light on my past ‘Friendships’(as that’s what I’ve always considered them). I thought that I had these great friendships with guys. Until they dropped out of my life. But unlike the majority of responses, I guess my perspective has been different. I’ve never wanted to date any of them. And it isn’t until after they drop out of my life that I find out they had a thing for me. ...I must be really oblivious.
