How it Works

Quirky is the New Sexy

I'm a weird human being, and we established that. But I haven't talked about my weirdness when it came to the opposite gender.

I have my quirks.....a lot of them. When it came to guys, I get a little anxious. Just think about it, if I was my quirky, strange self they would think this girl was a complete whack job. And that's putting it lightly.

To my utter shock, most guys I talked to or had some kind of relationship with found my quirkiness attractive.

The different ways I see and perceive things was a turn on.

I swear I'm quoting these words they confessed to me.

My initial thought was what the actual hell??

My final thoughts were I'll never understand guys.

I'm not writing this to boost my ego or anything, I just want to show you that there are guys out there that appreciate quirks and abnormal behavior.

There is hope for all of you single and lonely people.

Once I was talking to this dude, who was older than me, waaay older. But not that old, not in his 30s if that's what your thinking. Ew, no.

ANYWAYS!

We were talking about random stuff, and we had our deep conversations about life and shit. But before we went into deep conversations, he asked me how old I was.

He wouldn't believe me at first when I told him (hence the whole 30 year old mind stuck in a 17 year old body.)

So our relationship grew and we became close with time. One day, and it was sudden, he told me I was very very attractive and I had a sexy mind. In a platonic way....ish.

He knew that I loved to write, so he pushed me to show him some of my work. I didn't like to show people my work, I feel like it's better if they found my work instead, but I eventually caved in. That's when he said those words.

I was flattered, yeah. But I was mostly stunned. I never thought that this guy, this guy who is older and probably smarter than me, found me attractive. (Okay maybe I kinda had a tiny crush on him)

I asked him why he saw me like that, because I couldn't believe him. I know, that was stupid of me.

"You could've accepted the compliment and shut up"

A girl's gotta know why, okay?!!

He told me that I wasn't like any other girl he dated. That I was unique and saw things in ways most people don't. He said he liked that about me.

Of course, the 16 year old side of me fangirled because he basically confessed he had feelings for me. But I played it cool, I didn't want him to think I was that excited about his words.

He was the first guy that actually found my mind sexy, and not my body. Maybe that's why I liked him.

My point being!

There are people out there that will find your quirkiness very attractive and will like you for you. There is hope for all of us guys.

Girls might wear makeup to be attractive. Guys might wear confidence to be attractive. You wear your quirks to be attractive. Real people like him will look at you and be like "daaaaaaaamn"

If you want to dance in the middle of the road, that's fine! If you want to ride the merry-go-round for children, being the only adult who is riding it, that's great! If you want to play hide and seek with your friends in the hallways of a hotel at midnight, wearing your hello kitty pjs, that's fantastic!

What? You think I'm talking about my experiences? Pfffft, please.

Hahaha *nervous laughter*

Anyways.....

Read ya later!
