What Not to Do With your Stories + Other Randomness

I'm Truly Very Sorry That There Has to Be Even More Randomness

When every romance story about an Indian/Middle Eastern/ Muslim girl is "OMG I'm getting an arranged marriage!" 

Umm... Seriously? You think every girl who's from India or the Middle East has to get an arranged marriage? I understand, I know it is common to hear of such things in the ME and India, but it's not like everyone has an arranged marriage... Also, I am fully aware that in India, boys are valued more than girls and many would sell their daughters for money. Although dowries and things are outlawed now, they still happen.

Also, In a lot of Muslim romance books, the girl is like "I was forced." Well, you know what? In Islam, the consent of both the girl and the boy is needed, they can't just get married out of the blue.

"I was walking around when I smashed into a brick wall. I looked up to see this face smiling down at me." 

I did not know that brick walls had faces. I also doubt you'd walk away unscathed if you smashed/crashed/whatever-ed into a brick wall. 

When the 'bad boy' is a 'bad boy'.

B-but he's not even a bad boy! He either does nothing or stands up to the teacher or... chews gum in class. There is no evidence of him being a 'bad boy'.

 "I have shimmering blue orbs, I'm 2' 2, I like to eat nutella, I think I'm fat but I'm actually very skinny, I have beautiful golden locks that-"

NO! JUST NO! NOBODY CARES... THIS IS NOT SOME BIOGRAPHY! 

When the girl is always super short...

I don't care if you want to make their muscular bad boy astounding werewolf jock alpha boyfriends huge. The average height is more than 2'2.

When the girl is like "I hate shopping!" 

One Day Later: Goes shopping and buys like 50 million different things and exclaims "I love shopping!"

Wha... I'm confused now. STICK TO ONE STORY! 

When the girl and guy run into each other and either exchange harsh words or smiles and then meet each other every day after that. If the guy and gal exchanged harsh words the first day, they usually end up fighting and arguing a lot which turns into tension which in turn turns into love. If the guy and gal exchanged smiles, they still meet each other every day and are super sweet to each other and stuff...

WHAT'S HAPPENING? MY TEETH ARE ROTTING FROM THE SWEETNESS AND MY ARMS ARE COVERED IN SCARS FROM THE FIGHTING!

 I hate it when people take real situations and romanticize them. Cancer? Cured with a kiss. Depression? Cured by a guy/girl. Cutting? Cured by Special other kissing the cuts. Anxiety? Cured by a kiss.

I wish it was that easy, but it's not. So quit romanticizing problems like that.

Guys can suffer from depression/anxiety/bipolar disorder/whatever too you know. The expectations of a dude in a few books on Wattpad is like; you must have no problems at all, you must be an insanely amazing boyfriend, you must be perfect. I just don't understand why. I'm not saying this is the case for all WP books, I'm talking about a select few.
