Whenever I meet a woman who exudes sexiness from every pore, my arms get heavy and my game face is on. I get coy—something that never happens around an attractive man. I’m not a lesbian but I really just appreciate good-looking, interesting women. Sadly, they are seemingly rare.

Whenever I meet a new guy, I am eventually or immediately told that they find me to be a refreshing woman. I try my best to be flattered in these situations because the alternative is a sad realization that most women are shallow and dreary. She may carry that morning after voice with a tango for a walk but homegirl is as exciting as that chair she’s sitting on…a very lucky chair.

Men are a lot more observant than they allow us to perceive and here’s why: if they admit to noticing our subtle habits that indicate our major character flaws, then we would easily upgrade our Masters in Deception to a PhD (this topic is definitely a future blog post).

So what’s considered “refreshing” in women? It’s honestly such simple things that it pains me to have to list them:

1. Mild interest in political and social issues.
2. General awareness of current events.
3. Passions in life (other than shopping and “going out with mah gurls”)
4. Hobbies: things they do just for themselves.
5. Not phone cradle in the midst of new company or any friends.
6. Not assume that any woman better looking than herself is a “whore”.

One of the most despairing realizations this year has been that in any given circumstance, a group of men will be engaged in a more mindful conversation than a group of women. While we cackle away at embarrassing recounts of our day and obsess over how cute we look, guys will be discussing the best way to invest or fuel the need for innovation. People gossip and vent and that’s okay but there should ultimately be substance at the core of every conversation.

I’ve come to fully appreciate my girl friends. They are aspiring, versatile conversationalists, and conscientious of their surroundings. They are all what men would consider, “a catch”.

Even if Venus herself molded the woman’s body, nothing but character can fill it to be desirable. I am in no way alluding that women aren’t pursuing careers or are unintelligent. My claim is that despite their education, women maintain one-dimensional personalities. It’s laziness. It’s weird to be boring in a society that is thriving on the impact of social media and interest-based progress.

Although both men and women can have shallow personalities, women overwhelmingly outweigh men in banality. Be dorky, make jokes, have causes in life, express opinions, listen, speak, have jagged edges in your life and be present.

I’m sure there are secretly many interesting women out there…It would just be really awesome if they made it more evident because right now, things are too easy for the rest of us.
