Romantic-Intolerant

There's no hiding the fact that all females want romantic attention at one time or another.

But the real question is: How much of the attention do we actually want?

I'm not saying I'm a heart breaker, but I have gotten unwanted attention from guys before. It's funny though, because you want a boy to tell you that your pretty and that they think about you, but when it's boy who you aren't very interested in the feeling is the opposite.

You get a little creeped out and want to tell him to stop but that little voice in the back of your head goes, "Don't tell him to stop, you're overreacting! Don't be the bitch!" And thanks to that little voice, we don't tell the guy how creepy he is being.

In a way though, us girls do ask for the attention. with all of the Twitter posts of "Why am I still single?! #ForeverAlone"

 So when this attention comes to us, why are we so repellent of it?

I am a strong believer that most modern day American women are what I like to call "Romantic-intolerant."

We grow up watching watching movies where the prince saves the princes and everybody lives happily ever after. Then we hit puberty, and we watch movies like The Notebook, and expect kisses in the rain, and boys to build houses to win our hearts over. Then comes high school, and you finally realize that you should lower your expectations. We suddenly realize Maybe Ryan Gosling was reading from a script and all boys aren't Prince Charmings?

Ouch. I think that hurt like a brick in the head when we came to that realization.

I'm not trying to give boys a bad reputation, or tell you to completely drop your expectations and marry a man who works at a gas station.

I'm just saying it's a fact that with all of the things we have been exposed to in this world, it's hard to think a guy isn't full of bullshit (Pardon my French!) when he reads you poems, buys you amazing gifts, and tells you how hopelessly in love with you he is.

Women don't want to feel needed. We want to feel wanted.
And trust me, creepy gentlemen, there's a difference.
