Why?
And so in conclusion to my last post, I dislike the following things about Jack:
1. He tells really boring stories. It kills me. He has such passion when he’s initially telling themand when he’s finished I realise I’ve just wasted a good few minutes of my life.
2. Jack is really cool. (This is not what’s to hate) He was that hot super cool kid in highschool who’s great at sports and all the girls love him. That is, till he has a few drinks! He turns into that awkward embarassing kid at school who no-one really wants to talk to. The kid who tries to hard. TURN off…
3. And the quality that started this whole “What’s NOT cool” about Jack campaign is his ability to put someone down at a really inappropriate time. He’s never done it to me, but he said something really unnecessary to Racer and Racer was quite cut up about it. What Jack said to him was the equivalant of saying to Frank Sinatra that he couldn’t sing (and meaning it) right before he went on stage to sing in front of 10,000 people.
I mean honestly, I don’t know how people do it. That is, like one person enough to stay with them essentially for the rest of their lives! Despite all my posts about boys, they’re actually few and far between, and in my head the chances of finding one awesome man is a little disheartening. Am I too critical? Will I be a spinster at 40 and wish I hadn’t been so choosy and regret letting the fact that I struck off someone from my potential list because he loses his cool when he’s had one too many? Or because once in a blue moon he likes to put someone down? Or because the thought of growing old with someone and having to listen to their boring stories till I’m senile makes me cringe? Am I over reacting here? Am I still single because I’m too picky? When people get married, is it because they’ve had enough of singledom and consciously decide to just settle and put up with anothers faults? Sure I’m not perfect, but I would hate if someone decided to just “settle” with me even if they hated the fact that I snore, or that I pitch in when it comes to having a consumerist driven society or that I’m a little obsessive compulsive. I would want someone to love those points about me. Just like I’m sure someone would love Jacks boring stories or that he’s a complete goof when he’s drunk.

i don’t think you’re being too picky. like you said, someone…someday….will love jack for his boring stories etc. everyone is different and things that you aren’t willing to put up are really just small matters to them, and vice versa. i’m sure you’re not looking for a perfect man (coz you might be lookin for awhile!), but more like the perfect man for you.
