Nope. I'm not about to give tips on anything when in fact I'm going to talk about those tips giving articles. I stumbled -- and by stumbling, I mean right on my face Yahoo! News article when I open my mail -- across a site that provides notes and tips on how to do things and I couldn’t help but check what people write in tips on dating. I read some of it and it just makes me laugh.
The tips would say something like: “Avoid putting too much food for you two to eat, it will make him think you’re an eating machine!” or “if you just developed the pimple on your nose, wear some make up so he doesn’t see it” and, the most frequent is “Make sure you do not smell offensive”
It seems like the people they’re trying to impress are that shallow. “Ew, you smell like garlic. I don’t like you.” or “I don’t want to see you again since you have that pimple.” How stupid/shallow could that person be? Somehow, those tips are making us feel self conscious that normally makes us uncomfortable. Having pimple is normal. It’s not a disease. It’s not something to be ashamed of. Pimple can happen from having oily skin and dusty areas but we can wash our face to help reduce that. But hormones also cause it and we can’t escape that.
Shouldn’t we look for a person who accept us for who we are and not cringe and the fact we have pimples? Or we have lots of snacks? Or we happen to like garlic-y food? If they do, that means they respect us and we should do the same. Do we stop liking someone just because they have too many pimples on their face, or because s/he forgot to put deodorant and has been sweating the whole day? Are we that shallow?
I do believe it’s nice to make a good first impression. But, wouldn’t that set a standard? We’re humans. It’s normal to have ups and downs during our life where we can be the most awesome humans and suddenly drops to the lowest creep. As long as there’s a balance, I think that’s still okay.
I’m not saying that it’s bad to want to be perfect all the time but aren’t you tired? (unless you’re a butler or someone who works under a royal/important people then you may want to keep things perfect)
How long would it take for someone to finally snap from having to keep things perfect and just want to slouch, slump on the sofa and say “I’m tired.” For those who doesn’t accept that attitude, what’s wrong with you? S/he’s not a robot. S/he can’t be perfect ALL the time. Give her/him some slack! Don’t be shallow.
Well, I just meant to write this because I want to share my opinion. I’ve seen movies and people that expect the best out of everyone all the time and sometimes I just want to say otherwise. This is the only way I can do it, I guess. So. Here’s my opinion ladies and gentlemen. It does not smell like garlic.
