I am NOT that Woman!

Like this? Nooo...
More like this...
I love reading a certain Men's Mag (no name mentioned). I love their quirky quips, their funny, and extremely odd facts, and their informative and well written articles..
I was sadly disappointed. The women who write for them CANNOT be real!!
The two birds (yes I called them birds, because they certainly aint my type of woman!) make the female of the species to be bar stool sitting, GHD'ed haired (and probably very platinum in shade), cocktail swilling, sequin dress wearing, "whoo hoo" yelling "poppies". Who, at the flick of a wrist, will throw a drink in your face if you haven't propositioned her with the correct pick up line, or if your bank statement doesn't cut it. I am sorry... Who the fuck does that! Not me and not my friends! So please don’t let these women tar us all with the same brush fellas.
For example.. The article was about signs that a women give off if you’re "in there". The author came across as snobby and rude and even made mention that if you don’t approach her correctly you run a very high risk of getting a drink chucked over you, in front of your mates!! How awful, and unmannered!
If you approached me in a bar I would assume its taken a shit load of guts and I would never be so cruel as to slap you down with a rude retort, or chuck a drink in your face. Especially in front of others, or your mates. If I was going to give the fella bat I would just say "Thanks, but not thanks" and move on. If I was taken I would also just say so. Most of us are not into game playing in the relationship arena.
The other Barbie doll gave the relationship advice. Wow. Umm… Ok we don’t all have stripper poles in the bedroom and have sex for weeks. Let’s come down to earth people. Most of us work for a living, a lot have kids. Can’t you write for us too?
It reads like it’s written by a young single male, who is pretending to be a fantasy woman, and giving women advice on what men want. And yet it’s supposed to be a woman giving men advice on their partners…
The mag is target market is men. Men in general. Which means that most of these men will be in relationships and that their ladies will have a sneak peek at the mag too. So let’s ask that they get a real women to write the articles on women and relationships.
And by real woman I mean someone who has maybe not fitted into her sequin dress in years, has quit smoking, has had her heart broken, who wears granny pants to work and g-strings only for her boyfriend (because they are really uncomfortable). Someone who likes to bake and scream obscenities at the rugby on a Saturday. Someone who has lived, yet is still learning. Someone who doesn’t like being in the “all women” generalization. Someone who may not be a porn star in the making, but enjoys sex just as much as the next guy. And someone who does not allow PMS, or acting crazy “just because we are women”, be an excuse for bad behaviour.
Someone like me? Maybe…
