Good Girls don't actually want Bad Boys

The notion 'Good Girls want Bad Boys' has been explored, condemned, and fantasized by the media, parents, good girls and bad boys alike. As a 'good girl' - or at least, this is what most of society, parents notwithstanding, tell me, I sometimes find myself embracing this forbidden fruit. Here are my thoughts on this paradox.

Ironic as this may seem, I have never even come close, let alone be with, a bad boy. I may have dated once, but that brief stint was with a goody-two-shoes nonetheless. So, why, do I keep reaching for the forbidden fruit?

Let's conveniently blame it on the media. Movies - money spinning engines that feed off human desire - grab the foul-mouthed, smoking, vulgarity-spewing thug off the street, put him under the hands of a stylist, hairstylist, make up artist, plastic surgeon etc., then throw him back where he came from.

The media knows all too well that girls, even good girls, swoon at the sight of sauve men. I am no exception. Hence, good girls, most of the time, hanker after a skewed image of badboys, instead of the real deal. This explains why, while I am dying to watch Crows Zero II, I still scoff at the sight of ah bengs smoking and getting drunk during school hours at the void deck.

So yes, I'm already 20. I've seen what bad boys are really like, and I'm a mass communications student no doubt. Yet, why am I still attracted to bad boys?

This begs the question, Do good girls really want bad boys?

Let's answer it this way, What do bad boys have that good boys do not?

Bad boys have less of a legal income, probably would not be able to afford proper housing, lack manners of all sorts, waste money on cigarettes and cheap bear.

Yet, they enjoy leadership in a very different sense of the word, do not experience or care about curfews, ride flashy bikes, have the freedom to say and do anything they want, just to name a few.

There you've got it. Good girls 'want' bad boys because they represent the side of life which they never had the opportunity to experience. Hence, good girls do not actually want bad boys, what they want is the life these bad boys have.

Oppressed inside every curfew-abiding good girl who tries everyday to please her parents is the desire to to do break the rules. Outwardly, she cannot express this deviance since it has already been instilled in her that it is a grave sin to do so. Thus, she permits the media to feed on her desire for the forbidden fruit and willingly parts with the time she could be using to do readings, and the money she could save, to catch Crows Zero 2 over the weekends.

Must watch!

A couple of random facts

Here is a list of totally random things. Some might be so random to the point that they somehow correlate.

1. Getting up early on a Saturday to clean the balcony windows is an act which somehow implies that you have assumed responsibility of cleaning every other thing in the house as well.

2. You could never do something as well as how the person who asked you to do it could have done it.

3. It is perfectly ok for you to be interrupted from whatever you are doing to do the bidding of another. But this is never the case even if you were to ask nicely, vice versa.

4. Modern thoughts my foot. You would never be as important as the other gender.

5. The fact that you have worked before, and are not working now, still means that you are 'earning', and hence you must pick up the tab for as many things as possible.

6. The fact that you have never worked a single minute of your life means that you have never 'earned' before, and hence would be automatically given a large sum of money to compensate for the difference between yourself and those who have worked, but would never be expected to pick up the tab because you have, never 'earned' before.

Liar Liar Pants on Fire

How difficult is it to tell a lie?

It might even come easily to some.

But, how difficult is it to lie about the same matter consistently, so that no discrepancies would surface?

That is much harder.

Blister

I have a small, barely visible blister on my left toe. It does not hurt when i walk, but it sends sharp warning signals that rocket from my toe to my head whenever I pick up my pace.

There goes my much awaited Thursday afternoon jog. Just when I needed it to boost my rather lethargic senses these days.

Die you blister!
