Playerism

If you’ve ever read this blog or stepped foot on the Baylor campus, you’re well aware of the fact that girls outnumber guys. This phenomenon on campus opens up the door for something I like to call playerism. Playerism - When a guy is “talking” to more than one girl at the same time without their knowledge. You see, talking to several girls is not exactly what I have a problem with, it’s the fact that the girls never know there is another girl in the picture! Well…that is until a friend finds out and tells them, or even worse he invites you and a bunch of other girls to hang out (fo realz, this totally happens!) So I’ve decided that there should be some rules established for playerism, to buffer our fragile hearts from further boy abuse ;) .

Players should have to register (not unlike sex offenders)

Do you have a player lurking in your Christian Heritage class? (Yes ladies even in religion, don’t let his interest in Pope Benedict fool you, he’s a dog) Now you can look up those classmate hotties in the Player Database, this way you’re well aware when a guy in your area is already talking to someone else. No longer will you have to fall prey to a player and his double timing ways, or waste your time with a guy that not only makes you feel special but makes half of your pledge class feel special as well.

Relationship status on facebook is not optional

This is one that Mark Zuckerburg attempted to solve for us, but unfortunately guys have figured this one out. No longer do guys feel the need to be “in a relationship” on facebook, when they ARE in fact in a relationship. Updated relationship stati (plural of status?) should be mandatory, punishable by a five year sentence in federal prison (I don’t play). Because we have enough on our plates without having to go all 90s and ask his friends (which could potentially be super embarrassing), life shouldn’t be like an episode of Saved by the Bell… and plus isn’t that why the internet was created?

I hope that this has brought awareness to the serious epidemic known as Playerism. Tell your friends, tell your sisters, heck tell any female you know, because only you can prevent Playerism.

Peace and blessings

What I've learned from chick flicks

Chick flicks. Let’s be honest, we all love them, we all want to be like them, and we all have our preconceived notions of what the perfect relationship should be based on them. So I decided today that I would share with you the little tidbits of advice that I have learned from this wonderful genre.

1) Pretty woman-what I learned: When all else fails put on a skimpy dress and a wig and work the street corner. Who knows what could happen? You might get kidnapped but you might also meet a super cute rich guy that will take you on a shopping spree! Also, dental floss is a must.

2) Bridget Jones’s Diary-what I learned: Sleeping with your boss can be a self-esteem booster, especially when he cheats on you. Because that will give you the incentive to not only lose weight, accomplish your goals and finally land that guy that you thought was stuck up but is actually really into you. Oh, and sheer tops with black bras are a must.

3) He’s Just Not That Into You- Yes he is. You suck.

4) 13 Going on 30-Sometimes finding the man of your dreams is as easy as finding a hole in the space time continuum…or having pixie dust fall on your head (kinda lame). Regardless of your favored time travel apparatus, going into the future and then going back and making nice with that not-so-hot friend from middle school can really pay off, especially when he grows up to be a super hot. Special tip- men of all ages love candy, especially Razzles.

5) A Walk to Remember-Making guys promise that they will never fall in love with you, will actually make them fall in love with you…especially if you’re dying.

I hope this has opened your eyes to all of the valuable tips that can be learned from movies. I try to implement these principles into my everyday life, especially the one about sheer tops.

Peace and blessings.

Baylor- where it’s easier to make a 4.0 than it is to find a good man

Hello all! This is my new blog about the trials and tribulations of being a single girl at Baylor (can I get an amen?) So if you’re reading this you’re probably aware of the extreme disproportion of women and men at our lovely university. The Baylor website claims that the student population consists of 60% female and 40% male undergrad students, and I’m thinking that’s a conservative estimate…I think it’s at least 65 to 35 but whaterrr. I read in a book for my relationships class that when women outnumber men in society that women are 1)more independent 2)wear shorter skirts 3) are looser (you know what I mean ladies) and 4)are more aggressive. They didn’t say whether this pertained to small Baptist universities, but I’m going out on a limb and say that for the most part it TOTALLY DOES! Now if you’re one of those girls that has been dating a Baylor boy since freshman year and you don’t understand what the heck I’m talking about, please quit reading now. Every other girl at Baylor is jealous of you and secretly hates you (that is if we were allowed to hate people at Baylor :)). The female dominated mindset (i.e. independent, short-skirt wearing floozy(yes floozy, google it) ) is pretty much the exact opposite of how I was raised. I’ve always been told to just be myself, trust in God and the right guy would come along. Obviously that hasn’t exactly panned out as of yet or I wouldn’t be writing this blog. Here landing a guy is an art form, a perfected sport, and something after three years I still don’t understand. We have all had to become more independent as Baylor girls (if you’re looking for a guy to come save you, be prepared for him to bring another girl along). I don’t exactly look at this is negative, I have so many awesome girlfriends and they are all smart and amazingly capable women…but let’s be honest it I still have my moments where being single doesn't exactly seem ideal. And it sure doesn’t keep us all from sitting around wondering if we should apply to be on The Bachelor and contemplating our future adoption of Asian babies. That’s why I’ve decided to use this blog as an outlet, a way to express the frustration and confusion, while also showing the lighter side of single woman-hood, short skirts and all. Because let’s be honest, all 60% of us are in this together.
