I am the pickiest person when it comes to guys.
It's Michael-Jackson-bad.
I hate it. My family and friends hate it.

You can be the most handsome guy, but if I look down at your kicks, I'm not feelin' it.
You can be the FLYEST guy on earth, but if you don't know what you're doing with your life, I don't know what I'm going to do with you.
We can have the best conversations here and there, but if you don't like the same music as I do, I feel like we just lost a whole connection.

I sound picky when I'm really not, because by the end of the day, I end up with dudes that don't meet up to all my expectations. They may even be FAR from my standards.

When I think about it though, I'm a pretty simple girl, but simple is too complicated at the same time. If you make me laugh, like to eat/drink, have your own style, ambition and confidence, I'm in love.
Somehow, I just can't seem to get ALL of that in one-- and it drives me crazy.

It's funny because people complain about how picky and single I am, but then they complain about the guys I'm with. "He is nothing, but skin and bones!" "He got anger problems. I'm scared for you!" "I DON'T LIKE HIM!" "No more [insert names], please!"
And I always get a "You can do better."
Eventually the guys I'm with tell me, "You deserve better."
Everybody else convinces me, "You deserve nothing but the best."

I'm sitting here thinking to myself, trying to be logical about this... I hold those statements dear to my heart, but I don't even know how THE BEST can even exist. I know I can't have it all, but I know it has to exist somewhere. It shouldn't matter what people say, but I know I can be blind and stupid sometimes... and we all end up laughing about how there is something wrong with every guy I talk to.

So, I'm just wondering if I accept the fact that there are exceptions, or if I just end up settling for less sometimes.
This is why I choose to be single. It's much safer.
(Minus the fact that I have family and friends who threaten about harming the next guys I talk to.)
