On suggestion of a friend I have been watching How I Met Your Mother a lot these days. One of the things it said-obviously as a joke- has got a truth into it and it’s been bugging me ever since. It deals with relationships- on which I’m kinda self-proclaimed expert.
Usually most of the relationships have – quoting the scriptwriter of HIMYM - A Reacher and a Settler. How do these relationships survive is the biggest question I need to answer before I die. Seemingly the people who appear to be too into each other are under a brief spell of mutual infatuation.
Just put yourself in place of the “The Reacher” and “The Settler” and consider. It was something like this for me-
REACHER
Oh crap! Why does he have to look so good? All those girl look at him with that greedy expression. And the look they give me! scathing! Like, what is she doing there beside him! I could hit the hell outta those bitches! Still, they have got a point don’t they? What makes him love me …….?
Major feelings- insecurity, jealousy, self doubt
SETTLER
Seriously, what am I doing with this guy! He’s so damn boring! He’s got no personality. The only reason I loved him was because I thought his innocence was kinda cute. But maybe I cant hold on to that small fact and spend the rest of my life. The way he’s possessive about me now and his jealousy if I talk with another guy just pisses me off.
Major feelings- “I’m stuck”
How can anyone live with either of that? In many seemingly into-each-other couples I met(and I’m not naming anyone of them), I can point out The Reacher and The Settler.
Sometimes all I wanna tell them is- GET A LIFE PEOPLE! Find someone worth you.
The guy I want, my Perfect Man would be not the Prince neither would I be the Princess. Because seriously that sounds lame. *pukes*
What I want is someone equal. I guy who I can proudly call My Boyfriend without feeling ashamed or inadequate. When people see us together they say jealously - gosh look at them! Why can’t we be like them too?
Oh yeah baby, BRING IT ON!
GIMME MY MAHN!:P
