“Men actually think this girl exists. Maybe they’re fooled because so many women are willing to pretend to be this girl. For a long time Cool Girl offended me. I used to see men — friends, coworkers, strangers — giddy over these awful pretender women, and I’d want to sit these men down and calmly say: You are not dating a woman, you are dating a woman who has watched too many movies written by socially awkward men who’d like to believe that this kind of woman exists and might kiss them. I’d want to grab the poor guy by his lapels or messenger bag and say: The bitch doesn’t really love chili dogs that much — no one loves chili dogs that much! And the Cool Girls are even more pathetic: They’re not even pretending to be the woman they want to be, they’re pretending to be the woman a man wants them to be. Oh, and if you’re not a Cool Girl, I beg you not to believe that your man doesn’t want the Cool Girl. It may be a slightly different version — maybe he’s a vegetarian, so Cool Girl loves seitan and is great with dogs; or maybe he’s a hipster artist, so Cool Girl is a tattooed, bespectacled nerd who loves comics. There are variations to the window dressing, but believe me, he wants Cool Girl, who is basically the girl who likes every fucking thing he likes and doesn’t ever complain.” – Gillian Schieber Flynn, Gone Girl
It’s 11 : 03 AM on day 1565 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to pray, brush my teeth, read Isaiah 50, publish my Disability of the Day feature, feed myself for breakfast and promote my Educate Generations campaign–my parents donated $10 yesterday (thanks mom and dad) which brings my total raised to $1 265 only $1 235 more to raise to reach goal
Recently I watched Gone Girl the movie is about a scorned woman who tries to frame her cheating husband for her murder I would give it a 9 out of 10 it’s a bit graphic but I would recommend it to everyone over the age of 16.
The problematic of Cool Girl and Cool Boy are not to be underestimated. But there is another more profound problematic that seems to be at the heart of the failure of the modern marriage and family – the problematic of the incompatibility of divisive and arrogant self-indulgence. I recommend Derek Prince’s book, God is a MatchMaker.
