When I see articles about how great your significant other is or what you should thank your boyfriend for, my immediate reaction is a five-minute eye roll loop followed by a little gag reflex action.
"Thank you so much for dealing with me this weekend!!! <3 <3 MWUAH!!"
Yep, there goes my lunch.
It's not that men aren't great people and all, I mean some of you suck pretty bad, but some of you do deserve a little appreciation. I'm just saying, we don't exactly need you like our pretty heads sometimes think we do.
In this day in age, men are still getting props for doing things they should automatically do for women. It's just common courtesy. But there are a few things you feel entitled to praise for, that we don't actually need you to do for us. Really, I blame us for coming to you when we easily could do things ourself. I'm guilty of this, but mostly because I'm lazy AF and if I bat my big brown eyes, you'll bring me my glass of wine that's five inches away from me. If I just stretched a little further I could get it, but my arms are too sore from patting you on the back.
Not to bash you, this is more to give some insight to the ladies of the world. This article is really for women. It may be a little aggressive, but my bio warned ya 'bout me...
Thank you for reaching the top shelf for me, but they do make stools for a reason.
It's great when you open the door for me and tell me I'm pretty, but I do have arms and a mirror.
Being the little spoon on a cozy night is heart warming and all, but have you ever experienced being the big spoon? To a golden retriever puppy?
Thank you for opening that pickle jar, but I could have just asked Julia to do it. She's been hitting arm day huge.
I like it when you hold my hand but I'd rather be holding onto an ice cream cone. In each hand. OK, maybe an ice cream cone in one hand and a bottle of merlot in the other. Yes, that combo.
Thank you for sending vague and questionable texts, but I can do over-thinking on my own without you adding to it.
When I'm getting ready for a night out and you tell me how nice I look, it's very sweet of you. But I know if I send a selfie to my group chat, those crazy girls will tell me how fine AF I am, and honestly, that's what will give me my confidence for the night.
When it comes down to it, the things we go to men for could be dealt with within ourselves. Men are great; if you find one who is fun and loving and tells some great jokes, you should definitely appreciate him for that. But stop relying on them for the simple things in life that you can do and stop thinking one is this amazing angel because he's always there to hold the door for you. There is more to a relationship than that, and it's not like he's tweeting about how great you are for dealing with him all weekend.
Just learn a little independence. I mean aren't us women working towards world domination, anyways? Isn't that what our club is for?
