A Girl I Once Knew
She turned out to have a heartless soul!
Beautiful women have flaws just like everyone else. Sometimes they are just a little bit harder to see.
In my early 20’s I met this beautiful woman at a friend’s party. Somehow I mustered up the courage to approach her(probably using some lame pickup line) and we hit it off immediately. After a few dates, we started a relationship and I was completely elated. This was the most beautiful woman I had ever been with, and I thought I was in over my head. She almost seemed too good to be true.
As time went by, I started to realize that she had many flaws. Her insecurities were starting to show and I didn’t like the way she treated other people, including myself. She would talk down to others like waiters at a restaurant or associates at a retail store.
A particularly beautiful woman is a source of terror. As a rule, a beautiful woman is a terrible disappointment.
Our conversations were dull and boring. Mostly, because we were on two different levels intellectually. Now, I have to admit, this was when we were both in our early 20’s so it’s not like we were supposed to be at our peak maturity levels. It just seemed as if the only things that were important to her were partying and spending money.
That was another thing. Her family had money, plenty of it. Coming from a middle-class family, I was not used to the type of spending habits she had. This was one of the main reasons why I knew our relationship would never work. She needed to be with a wealthy man. One who could afford to buy her fancy gifts and take her on expensive trips.
Anyways, I stayed in that relationship for a little over a year. After that, I couldn’t take any more of her childish behavior and broke it off. To be honest, I should have ended things much sooner but stuck it out because of her good looks. Eventually, her physical attraction couldn’t overshadow her internal ugliness. That is why I had to get out.
I’m sharing this story for all the men out there who think your life will somehow be fulfilled by having a pretty woman on your arm. Beautiful women have flaws just like everyone else. Sometimes they are just a little bit harder to see. If you are looking for long-term love, find someone who you are attracted to, because that’s important. But, also look at what they have going on inside. Inward beauty always trumps outward beauty. As time goes by, we will all start to look a little less imperfect. As always, stay positive!
