Seriously?

We all have countless friends like this on Facebook and/or Twitter. They take what have been termed "selfies" on a daily basis and then post said picture to their profiles. This isn't that big of a deal. Except for the fact that I'm seeing more and more pictures of young women showing off their cleavage. It's beginning to disgust me.

These are the same sort of girls that will then turn around and start posting about how they want a man's respect or they don't know why so much drama always happens around them or how tired they are of the games or, my personal favorite, that they're smart beautiful women that deserve to be treated right.

This goes back to a deep seeded frustration I have with some women. I know I wrote about this a while back (to be honest, I couldn't find the post. It's buried in here somewhere), where some "famous" person was on one of those late night shows. First off, she walks onto the stage wearing this skin tight, low cut, barely covering her butt dress. As she struggles to sit down without flashing the entire audience, the host asks if she needs help. About a minute later as she's answering one of his questions, she has the audacity to say to him, "Um, my eyes are up here."

The audience laughs as he looks around and he flounders for an answer. 'Cause he's the bad guy.

Seriously?! The audience finds this entertaining? A woman is practically shoving her body in the public's face and then demeans a man when he stares? What does she expect? Oh, she's expecting to be respected. 'Cause that's how respectable people dress.

Women, please stop kidding yourselves. We dress our best when we feel good about ourselves. When we want attention, we put on the clothes that we know accentuate our best features. All women do this. Stop pretending like you aren't doing it. You are. And please, if you're someone who thinks wearing next to no clothing is perfectly acceptable, then expect to get stares and don't be a witch with a capital b and call them all pigs. If you're gonna act like a billboard, you shouldn't expect to be treated like a selectively handed out flyer.

Rant is over.

I'm playing a waiting game on two fronts. 1) agents. 2) dog adoption agency. Yes, I'm actively pursuing getting a dog. I couldn't get a Mustang, so I'm going with my second bucket-list item.
