So I went to see Catch and Release. The verdict: stupid movie. Grey should have totally gone for Dennis, not Fritz...who names their kid Fritz???
But enough about that damn Fritz, onto more important things...like Conan O'Brien. Here's the story: I had a really good topic for today's blog. It really was genius. So I get my laptop out, log onto blogger.com, and then turn the TV on to NBC, where I find Conan O'Brien. Confession: I have a huge crush on Conan. Sure, he may not be attractive, but he is awkward and hilarious and I love him just the way he is. Plus he's tall, which is a huge thing for me. But what does Conan make me do? He makes me completely forget what I was itching to write about. That is Conan's curse I guess: he makes everyone's thoughts turn into thoughts of him. So I was telling Alex about my dilemma, and she came up with this: "That is the fundamental difference between men and women. because conan is awkward and hilarious, we don't overlook his unattractiveness, we actually believe he is attractive. Boys can't do that." True, if Conan O'Brien was just a normal guy walking down the street, I would not do a double take and want to have his hilarious, pompadour-haired babies. But because I know his personality (or at least his TV persona) I have a school-girl crush on him. But for all women, we don't write off unattractive men right away: we always think that even though a guy might not be a George Clooney look-alike doesn't mean that they may not have a great personality, a personality that may make this unattractive guy a good friend. Besides, women want a guy they can talk to and have a substantial relationship with. A guy is not a trophy for us. Have you ever heard the phrase "trophy-husband"? Ya, I didn't think so.
Men, however, concentrate on the asthetics. They want a woman with a gorgeous face, big boobs, and a perfect body...something that they can take to fancy restraunts and show off. They don't need the conversation that women do. Men want their trophy, the trophy that says to them, "Hey, I am so macho-man-ish that I got this beautiful woman to go out with me." Who cares if she has a brain the size of a bottle cap so long as she is beautiful. She doesn't have to say anything; all she has to do is sit there and pose. But this poor girl thinks that she is getting the substantial relationship that is built on conversation. The man is getting a trophy. This is why you don't see ugly women having guy friends; guys do not care about you unless your attractive. So Harry (from When Harry Met Sally) is right: all your guy friends want to sleep with you.
