Not that I really want to talk about it...
..because I'm intensely private. However: the need to vent prevails. Once again, my heart finds itself a little bent, folded, and stapled. I do not enjoy this, it sucks greatly. There are few words less pleasant to the ear than "I could never love you". So I'm a little blue, and delicate... and confused.
Because... I'm kind of a catch, theoretically. I'm decent-looking, I have a fantastic bottom, I'm smart, I like movies and graphic novels and kung-fu movies and food, and am not particularly high maintenance. Also, I'm told I'm rather good in bed*. I'm independent. I have a quirky fashion sense. I can cook, and bake, and dress wounds. I have nice hair, and high levels of personal hygiene. I am edumacated. So why is it that I have such difficulty in finding men who actually want to date me? I think I've been asked out about five times in my life- I end up dating friends, or doing the asking. Is there agreat big neon sign above my head flashing: "DANGER! DANGER! AVOID!" or something?
I think the problem is that a) I'm not a girly girl. I don't do giggling and pretending to be dim. also b) small boobs. very small boobs. c) my awesome ninja skills are intimidating d) I'm weird.
I'm going to die alone and be eaten by my bunnies.
*by your Mom. Sorry, misdirected repressed anger there.

Ah. So melancholy. You sound like a simply marvelous catch hun. The melancholy is good though, because it makes the happy time even happier. Any time you need cheering up though...
;)
Aw Bete, you are fantastical. If I was that way inclined, I'd do you...
...and take you out for brekkie the next day :)
I think I might be you.
Except for the really small boobs, liking bunnies, a penchant for graphic novels and being good in bed.
I do, however, MAKE a mean bed!
(c). Definitely.
Almost forgot. Seeing as I have no contact details for her royal betenoirness (hem hem), I'll post this link here - A Compliment for you.
;)
You are gorgeous,smart and independent (and ever so slightly quirky - strange but not in a dangerous way) and most men (being arsehats - Chewie and Kyk being exceptions)are afraid of that. Hang in there pirate girl and your very own Johnny Depp will come.... btw I don't think rabits are carnivores.
Aww hon - don't let stoopid poopie boys doubt yourself. In my books, a), c), and d) are all good attributes! I'm not saying b) cos I prefer boys, but I'm told that boob size is a subjective thing - different boys like different sizes. And they just stare at the big ones.
If this doesn't work, however, I'm sure we could organise a 'pet swap' - my cats could play/mate with your bunnies and then we'd have some cool freaky animals and become rich showing them around the world!
No guy wants a smart, independent, strong woman.
They are threatened by us.
Enjoy your life alone or have children out of wedlock to keep you company.
Christ Kerryn, little morbid there are we?
Bete, how familiar this sounds. I can ralteness. Thing is though, in a situation like this one cant generalise. So dont. Its not abut guys, its about the wrong guys. And finding a lid for your pot. (Which might be as difficult as finding a size 10 in a Woolworths sale, or a 6 in your favourite pair of shoes.)
Still, somewhere out there is a manboy
(Continued) is waiting for a not-so-girly-girl with small boobs and weirdly intimidating ninja skills. So dont change any of those things.
And also, small boobs are SEXY.
is true. is all true! thanks you all of you for your kind words and supportness and even Kerryn who is a little scary.
...and I is still liking the manboys. I think.
Let me just add, that was the worst comment in the history of comments. I am suffering from a little digital devide. Here follows corrections:
ralteness = relateness
abut = about
and delete the "IS" in line one paragraph two.
Small boobs are still sexy.
Women are sexy! Small boobs are sexy indeed! One question though - how small is small? Maybe if I could get a feel for them...
;)
ah chewie. tut tut. not that small, I guess. I mean, you can still see them.
I still get to see them? Will ya send me a photo? Chewthecud@gmail.com. In fairness though, I think you should post a picture on your blog - I don't want to appear too selfish ;)
No, no, Bete. I've got huge boobs (and all that other stuff, apart from the ninja skills), and all the boys I know just want to talk about other girls and fart around me.
I thinks it be a conspiracy.
But I think everything is a conspiracy, so maybe it doesn't count.
Morbid? In what sense?
That makes the assumption one is unhappy being alone. Why, in Gods name, would anyone need a man to make them happy?
Anyway, the last bit in my response was just a joke (really).
I would rather be scary and morbid and alone, then compromise anything of myself for a man. Been there, done that, never again.
I've "dumbed down". I've taken verbal and physical abuse. I've compromised my morals and principles. I was young once too, but never, never again.
Once you realise your own self worth, and how much you actually deserve, you will never again as the question "How am I at fault?"
Bete, the way you write is hot. Clever chicks are soooo sexy.
I would date you!
lordwiggly@yahoo.com
P.S. Please don't ninja-kick me in the face though. That would not be sexy.
Dude, I am loving this blog sick! And I have a friend that sounds like she has similar problems as you in the men department.
What I say to her is:
One- your awesomeness is intimidating,
Two- you are probably waiting for someone better than the many plebs that are out there. Still to it and the one that does ask you out will be the only one worth the wait.
