Stop treating us like blind fools.

Why You Need To Stop Saying You Have A Flirty Personality
Blog Spot

Millions of women – men, even – around the world are saying they have a “flirty personality” right now. Why? They’re saying this because they got caught flirting with someone. Why else justify it? Saying “I have a flirty personality” is such an easy excuse to use. But that’s just it – it’s an excuse.

Stop saying you have a flirty personality. In my experience, this phrase normally comes up when someone gets caught flirting with somebody they shouldn’t have been flirting with: someone else’s boyfriend or girlfriend.

Now, I do agree, flirty personalities do exist. But, you see, it’s not that hard to tell the difference between having a flirty personality and actually flirting; and if you weren’t in the wrong, you wouldn’t feel the need to justify it. By justifying you flirting with someone’s significant other by saying you have a “flirty personality,” you’re not only calling that person a liar, you’re calling them stupid.

By saying you have a “flirty personality” and that we’re just mistaking your personality for outright flirting, you’re telling us we’re too stupid to know the difference. But, we do know the difference. We can see the difference between your flirty personality with one guy and you blatantly trying to “get with” another guy.

So stop saying you have a flirty personality, and just be honest. It’s not like you’re fooling anybody, anyways. We all know when somebody is aimlessly "flirting," because it's how they act with everybody. But if you start calling somebody pet names out of nowhere, or finding every opportunity to touch them, and you don't treat everybody else like that - and trust me, we can see if you treat everyone else like that - then it is not your personality. It's you trying to fool everybody, and it's not working

You don’t have a flirty personality; you’re just trying to get a guy who is off limits. So, please, stop treating us like blind fools, stop trying to be a home wrecker, and find a guy who isn't in a relationship. Because it's not your "flirty personality" leading you to act like that; it's your selfish desires doing it, and we're not fooled.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
