I met this girl who was like a friend of a friend and I was telling her how I feel like guys always pigeonhole me as a sort of manic pixie dream girl and she said no offense but you’re one of only two people I’ve met in my life where that completely makes sense and I understand why they do that
@snow: That's fantastic. You should tell people that you're in your field hand era. You're cowboymaxxing. You're ranchpilled.

the craziest part is that i grew up in a country ass area and never wore boots, then one day i saw an attorney wearing them and thought to myself "hell yeah" and i havent looked back since
Aww, that's a bummer triplethread. You'll meet a nice guy at law school, and you'll have your happily ever after as a lawyer power couple, wait and see :)

i have met nice guys that really want me but i end up hurting them
My message sent too fast and was incomplete and made no sense so I deleted it but my point was that a lot of men just hate that you can have boobs AND be smart. It doesn’t make sense to them. So they call you a manic pixie dream girl to put you in a shape that makes sense to them
I think being interested in things like independent cinema and experimental fiction is just part of being an intellectually curious person who engages with the world. The pejorative connotations attached to the words used to describe these kinds of people are symptomatic of our current anti-intellectual culture
@bunnynoise: I agree, but America's always had an an anti-intellectual culture. Despite Vivek Ramaswamy's best efforts, we are a nation of wannabe team captains and prom queens, and we've always hated and feared anyone who has dared to like anything besides mass-market slop
Sure, but when an ex is a future colleague, that gives you leverage. Imagine being interviewed by your last ex-boyfriend for a job. Just tell him, "Hire me at once, or I'm telling everyone about your weird fetish." You'd get the job instantly
