Stuff I hate people saying

Okay so I kinda enjoyed being able to rant in my last blog without having to research the fuck out of what I was saying first (I put off writing blogs that take research, I have so many drafts that really need finishing) and so I thought I'd do another. This is my top ten thirteen list of things I really can't stand people saying, but things that millions of people still seem to say anyway. Enjoy.

1. I'm bipolar/I self-harm because I'm depressed

Are you really though? I don't know why it's suddenly become the in-thing to be bipolar or anorexic or depressed or whatever but I just want to say that suffering from any of those things ISN'T FUN and you shouldn't be wearing those labels like a fashion statement. So you're 15 and you have mood swings. They might even be really extreme mood swings. I'm sure it's horrible feeling so low sometimes, but have you considered that it could just be part of being a teenager? I see so many Twitter accounts called things like 'Bipolar bitch' and the like and it really fucking frustrates me because having a mental illness shouldn't be cool. I guess it's kinda good that the stigma attached to these things is practically non-existent anymore but we shouldn't be glorifying this shit. Aside from being potentially dangerous in the case of eating disorders, it's also insulting to people who really do suffer from mental illnesses. Why are you posting pictures of your self-harm online? If you can even call it self-harm. My cat leave deeper scratches than you can but whatever. People who self-harm do not show off their scars. Period. Attention seekers show off cuts because they want to be "different" and "deep" but people with real issues do not take to social media to show off about their "issues". Grow up.

2. I have trust issues

Oh God this is one I really hate. Relationships begin and they end, and sadly, in many cases, one person in the relationship feels it is okay to lie or cheat on their partner.Yeah, it's very sad but my sympathy for you ceases to exist when you let this boy (or girl) taint your judgement of the entire male (or female) population. Not all men are cheating bastards. One guy cheated on you. Get over it. Telling all your future boyfriends that you have trust issues is basically punishing them for something they've not even done and telling them that you're not only still hung up on an ex but that you have no faith that this relationship will work.
We've all been lied to or led on or cheated on at some point. It happens. It is simply not logical to assume that everybody will do the same thing. On a whole, I'd say the world was mainly made up of good people who don't get kicks out of hurting their partners. Why don't you trust them until they give you reason not to rather than starting out every relationship with a defeatist attitude? It's boring.

3. What kind of music do you like?

Is this really going to affect your judgement of me as a person? I've told people before that I like popular music such as...I don't know, Rihanna, and had those people literally lose any respect that they had for me. I don't get it. What I listen to when I put my make up on does not say ANYTHING about me as a person. It's fucking music. I mean, asking which politicians I'm into may give you reason to change your opinion of me (I'm guessing being a fan of Hitler wouldn't win me many friends) but my music taste, really?
It's a sad situation all round really because while you may lose respect for me for not listening to the shit that you listen to, I also lose respect for you for losing respect for me. Not cool.
Oh, and by the way, to all those people (usually moshers who never wash their hair) that think anything that doesn't sound like ogres being killed isn't worthy of their time, read some of Eminem's lyrics. He's got more talent in his little finger than your narrow-minded little brain is ever going to be able to comprehend.

4. I wouldn't get a tattoo unless it had real meaning

This one really infuriates me. I have nothing against tattoos with meaning. Hell, I got a poem tattooed on me that has a fuck load of meaning, but I also have tattoos that I got for no reason other than that they look fucking cool. I could say that the tiger on my back is meaningful because I, uh, really like tigers, but that's a given really isn't it? Of course I'm going to like whatever I get permanently inked onto my body. It doesn't mean that it's particularly meaningful. A tattoo is a piece of art, and like any other work of art, it's primary purpose is to look good. Look at the other things you do to your appearance  Dyeing your hair pink, getting your lip pierced, wearing some funky shoes. Nobody expects those things to reflect anything other than your personality and the fact that you want to look a certain way so why should tattoos be any different? I know they're permanent but that shouldn't make a difference. If I think something is going to make me look better, whether that be a tattoo, a pair of fake tits or some new nail polish, I'll do it. It doesn't always have to have a hidden meaning. It is what it is.

5. She's definitely wouldn't get it

I've spoken at length about this here but it definitely still deserves a place on the list purely because I've seen so many boys on Facebook talking about girls' appearances as if they themselves are God's gift and it really winds me up. The worst part is that I never even see a good looking guy talking about girls in this way. It's always either a fat virgin or a chav riddled with STI's for whom it is only a matter of time before they end up dragging chairs around on The Jeremy Kyle Show.
Calling people ugly is never a nice things to do but you need to make sure before you do it that you are flawless because if you're not, there will always be someone sitting at their computer cringing at the irony of your comment. Trust me guys, the girls you're commenting on are far better looking than you can ever hope to be and everybody knows it.

6. She's such a slut

Er, and? I hate people that do this, and it's usually girls slagging other girls off for it. If you're a girl and you've slept with over a hundred guys, I couldn't care less. Unless you've given my boyfriend an STI, what you get up to is your business. It may not be my thing to pull random people in clubs every week but if you wanna do it then go for it. You won't find me hating on you. Just use protection.

7. People who listen to RnB and watch TOWIE are stupid

I got an A* and two A's at A Level. Four A*'s and four A's at GCSE (and a B in art but we won't talk about that). I watch the news. I debate for fun. I read books about theology. I have a favourite scientist. I'm pretty sure I'm not stupid. I'm also twenty years old and excuse me if I want to go and get drunk or watch some trash TV once in a while. The thing I love the most is when people less intelligent than me assume I'm thick just because I don't go around rubbing my IQ in people's faces when the situation doesn't call for it. I could go on all day about this but I won't because I don't feel the need to prove anything to these geeks who vent their insecurities on anyone that they feel threatened by. Go masturbate over Steven Hawking.

8. I've not eaten all day

Yes you have and you know you have so just admit it.

9. I hate One Direction/Ed Sheeran/Justin Bieber

(Note: I only hate teenage boys saying this). Oh do you? What have they ever done wrong to you, apart from be more successful than you, better looking than you and reap in way more female attention than you? Jealously isn't attractive. So what if their music isn't your thing? It's no reason to start a hate campaign against the poor guys. Let's be honest, they're not really interesting enough to hate. Don't waste your time bitching and moaning about them. Just get over the fact that even if you don't think they deserve to be famous, they are, and there's really nothing you can do about it.

10. RIP (insert name of previously unknown artist here)

Yeah so the guy from Suicide Silence died and trended WORLDWIDE on Twitter. I'm not mentioning his name because most of you will have forgotten it now because you were, after all, just hopping on the bandwagon weren't you? I refuse to believe that SS were that famous before this started trending on Twitter. Guys, someone dying isn't a "trend". It's not something you should be pretending to care about in order to look cool or gain more followers. If you didn't know who he was/listen to his music before he died, then there's really no need in you pretending otherwise. And before anyone attacks me for this, no it's not a mark of respect. If he could see you he'd probably be annoyed at you pretending to mourn his death in order to "fit in" on the internet. (If anyone cares, I've listened to Suicide Silence since I was about 14. They follow me on Twitter. Be jealous).

11. Mary Jane Mary Jane Mary Jane Mary Jane

ALL OVER FACEBOOK. I can't even begin to tell you how much this amazes me. You do realise that your not-so-subtle references to your extra-curricular activities will prevent you from ever getting a job, right? Potential employers can stalk like the best of us and if your Facebook is absolutely infested with pictures of your bong, the massive spliff you had last night and status' about how high you are all the time then you're an idiot. End of.

12. Dani "mummy2be" Leigh uploaded 4789340 photos to the album "My baby"

NOBODY WANTS TO SEE YOUR BABY. I don't know how to make it any clearer. To be quite frank, your baby is ugly. I guess it's what happens when you fall pregnant aged 12 to one of the inbred ogres that you've let defile you. Seeing stuff like this makes me want to delete Facebook and just fall off planet earth. It's bad enough (I imagine) hearing people drone on and on and on about their new baby face to face (I wouldn't know, my friends don't have kids because I'm only 20), but what's even worse is seeing it on Facebook. Hey, person that I went to high school with 4 years ago, I really do not care if you are pregnant or if you have three kids by now. I don't want to see your kids. Or read status' about them. Just concentrate on looking after them and if you must use the internet then surf Gumtree, not Facebook.

13. I'm not homophobic but being gay isn't natural

Try telling that to my best friend. I'm sure she'd love not to be the butt of lesbian jokes all the time, to be able to get legally married, to adopt children without the state making it difficult (or even have her own) and do to all the other things that heterosexual people take for granted but guess what, she can't because she doesn't fancy men. Never has, never will. Being a lesbian comes naturally to her, there are no two ways about it.
I kind of understand your point that if everybody was gay then humanity would cease to exist (although it wouldn't because we are clever and have science) but you know, not everyone is gay so it doesn't matter. Some people are gay and believe it or not, it is something they don't necessarily choose to be. It's not something you can just opt into if you fancy it.

Nice Guys DO finish last

It's an argument I've been hearing ever since I can remember. Now, Nice Guys finishing last is something I've already touched upon in my blog about The Friend Zone, which you can find here, but I feel like I need to elaborate on the Nice Guys themselves and why womankind hates them so much and so here we are.

'Nice Guys finish last, all girls want to date assholes, there's no point being nice to girls because Nice Guys finish last so I'm gonna treat all girls like shit instead.' 

I'm sure almost every girl has heard this at somepoint in her life and I'm even more sure that there are a lot of guys on my Facebook friends list who have uttered something along the lines of this upon being rejected/dumped/bored of masturbating and wanting some no strings sex with a real live woman.

Probably then, a lot of these so-called Nice Guys are going to disagree with what I'm about to say and mask their own insecurities as anger in true caveman style aaand to be honest I don't care. It's my blog. That means I'm right. Also, I am a girl, and therefore in a better position to know whether or not I am attracted to assholes or genuinely nice guys (note: not Nice Guys. There is a difference between a nice guy and a Nice Guy) than every single one of you bitter little boys who thinks that they have the monopoly on the female brain just because the hottest girl in high school rejected them in favour of some asshole who highlighted his hair and played football better than you.

Okay, so first of all, what is the difference between a nice guy and a Nice Guy? If I have to spell it out to you, you're already doing it wrong but here we go. A nice guy is somebody who takes others feelings into consideration and doesn't treat girls badly by lying to them or cheating on them etc. It's a simple as that. It is not to say then, that a nice guy cannot also be confident, flirtatious, stylish and successful with the ladies. A nice guy is every girl's dream man. He knows what he wants in life, has his own hobbies and interests, knows when to take the lead but also treats his girl with respect and as an equal. Sometimes he gets rejected by girls but he just accepts this as a fact of life. He isn't bitter about all the girls that have treated him badly in the past and he doesn't hold the entire female population responsible.

A Nice Guy on the other hand, is the complete opposite. You can't fail to spot a Nice Guy because he will spend the majority of his time telling you just what a Nice Guy he is. If a girl rejects him, it cannot be because they have nothing in common or that she just doesn't find him attractive. It will be because he is a Nice Guy and all girls just want to be abused because we all have daddy issues and would rather be smacked about by  some asshole on a motorbike than treated like an actual human being (even though motorbikes are undeniably hot). Nice Guys blame the entire female population for their own inadequacies and will consequently see any successful guy as an asshole, based solely on the fact that he is confident and secure in his own skin..

So why then, do Nice Guys finish last?

1. Nice Guys oversimplify. They think that if a girl isn't interested in them, it must be because he is Nice. This is bullshit. I have never met a girl who doesn't like nice people. Everybody likes nice people. Have you ever heard anybody saying 'I fucking hate that guy. He's so nice. Ew.' No, you haven't, because nobody fucking says it. The reason she's not interested probably has nothing to do with the fact that you're nice and don't get kicks out of killing kittens.
2. Okay, so some girls do end things with the excuse of 'you're just too nice.' I'll make it simple for you: she's lying to spare your feelings. What she really means is that she just wants to be single and sleep around and being with you is just not exciting enough for her. Or that you're boring. Or that she's sick of always taking the lead in everything because you're so bothered about not upsetting her. Maybe she means that you're not funny enough. I don't know. What I do know is that she isn't ending it because you're too nice. She just doesn't have the heart or a decent enough vocabulary to say anything else. Or maybe she's just not that nice. Ever considered that? A Suicide Girl isn't going to date fucking McLovin. Shit like that just doesn't happen. No girl wants to feel as though she is corrupting an innocent little virgin. It doesn't make us feel good. There is a reason Megan Fox isn't dating a maths geek who nobody has heard of. We want someone that's on a par with us. 
3. Nice Guys are boring. Sorry but they are. A girl doesn't want conversation that never progresses beyond 'how are you?' and 'what are you up to?' Give her some excitement! God, include a winky face every once in a while. It's not hard. Honestly, keep doing what you're doing and it won't be long before some smouldering hunk whisks her away with his cheeky text messages and innuendos and you'll be sitting there complaining about how she is a witch who hates nice people. 
4. TRY HARDER. Just make some fucking effort.
5. Don't pretend to be her friend. It's creepy. Make your intentions clear. There's nothing worse than a guy who worms his way into a girl's friendship group, does everything he can to hide his true feelings and then complains when a guy comes along and woos her with a more direct approach. Even worse is guys who pretend to be a girl's friend in the hope of something magically blossoming and then moaning about being Friend-Zoned. Well of course you've been friend-zoned, you've been acting like her fucking gay best friend for the past two years. 
6. Don't be clingy. Ever heard of the saying 'treat em mean, keep em keen'? Nice Guys like to take this literally and use it as evidence for their stupid claims about Nice Guys finishing last but in reality it means don't come on too strongly. Most people get put off by somebody that moves too quickly, that texts them every five minutes and wants to see them every minute of the fucking day. She has a life of her own and so do you. Don't forget about it as soon as you meet a pretty girl. Nobody likes to be put on a pedestal by somebody they've only just met. It's creepy. 
7. Something Nice Guys tend to acquire is 'Girlfriend Syndrome'. This is where a guy desperately wants a girlfriend. He doesn't much care who the girl is or if they have anything in common, he just wants somebody to treat like a princess. As cute and romantic as the latter part may sound, a girl wants to feel special. She doesn't want to feel like your third choice. Oh, and don't do clichés like flowers and chocolates and chick flicks. While stuff like that can be okay sometimes, a girl will know when you're doing the same things you've done to woo all your other girlfriends. Pay attention to her and what she likes.  
8. It is not a girl's fault if she just doesn't like you. We all like different people and if she just doesn't feel a connection or any sexual chemistry with you then it doesn't matter how nice you are to her, it's not going to work. If it did work, you wouldn't be finishing 'first' because eventually you'd both realise that you aren't well suited and probably end up more miserable than you would have done had you just accepted that at the start of the relationship. A woman is not a 'reward'. A girl isn't something you get given in exchange for doing certain things. The bible says that good works do not earn your place in heaven. It's the same with Nice Guys and vaginas. 
9. Nice Guys spend too much time feeling sorry for themselves. They are so egotistical and bitter about the female species that I would go so far as to assert that they are not nice at all because nice people are not as arrogant and bigoted as this. Maybe if all the Nice Guys of the world stopped obsessing over their own nice-ness and instead concentrated on somebody else (namely, the girl in question), they would have better luck. If you are genuinely nice, you won't need to tell everybody how nice you are and as a result will reap the benefits. 

Understood?

I just want to end by citing a couple of real examples about Nice Guys vs. nice guys and why the Nice Guys finished last. I don't want to be too specific so I'm not going to tell you whether these people were in my life last week or last year but that shouldn't matter anyway so here we go. 

A Nice Guy I met was possibly the most arrogant and bigoted person out of every single boy I have ever been involved with. He droned on endlessly about how all his ex-girlfriends were bitches who had cheated on him or lied to him or some other shit that I didn't and still don't care about, told me over and over how nice he was and how all his friends were more successful with girls than he was even though he was a much nicer person. He took me on a date and turned up about two hours late without an apology, and upon arriving at the restaurant told me that he'd already eaten so we'd just be having starters. He then spent the entire date talking shit about girls who had treated him badly by behaving like sluts and whores and how much of a moral person he was. He then told me he could see no future with us because I was friends with my ex. As if I wasn't already spitting with indignation! I'd actually already kissed one of his friends about two years earlier but it was more down the the fact that the guy was funnier, more flirtatious and less on his fucking moral high horse than whether or not he was a fucking "Nice Guy."

Now onto the nice guys. I don't have one specific example of a genuine nice guy because I go for nice guys. I like people who make the effort to see me, pay me compliments, text me, yada yada yada. Genuine nice guys aren't bitter and constantly putting down other people for not living as moral a life as they are. THAT IS WHAT IS APPEALING ABOUT THEM. They are themselves, happy in their own skin. They may drink and smoke and have sex but they are still nice. 

The difference between a nice guy and a Nice Guy is that a nice guy gets the girls by being himself whereas Nice Guys will always finish last because they are forever in a bubble of bitterness, indignation and warped logic regarding women. Nice Guys just aren't nice people. That, my friends, is why they finish last.
