girly girls and manly men.
Why is it that there are so many 20-something girls out there having emotional breakdowns? Many of my friends are having them at the moment, and there's no real reason behind them. I'm trying to be supportive and offering advice, but how can you really offer advice when there's no problem? This is a kind of meltdown that I can't really help them with. I used to get them, but these days my mini-meltdowns are generally well-founded... i hope. Anyway, point is: what do you say to these girls? Offer support by telling them how they're really beautiful people that don't need to let whatever's effecting them, effect them? Distract them? Or show them that they're being girly girls, and generally they're the ones who point out to me how awful girly girls are, so it's kind of hypocritical to become the thing they hate, because then they won't derive any pleasure from bagging them out, because all they would essentially be doing is degrqading themselves?
Also, while I'm on the subject, let me go off in a tangent towards the girly girls opposing force: manly men. Where have they all gone? It seems to me that (in Australia at least) many of the men that I suspected to be manly men have suddenly turned metrosexual. I know metrosexual is the fashion, but can you really blame the girly girls for fainting when there's no Heathcliff to catch them while also tell them they're being stupid?
I'm not sure if i'm a romantic, or an anti-romantic. Either way, I think it's just me looking at the next field with envy.

I hate metro's and I hate manly men, yet I find myself always trying to be both.
For me, the Australian perception of a manly man is a complete wanker if you ask me, and I'd rather run over him with my ute and let my blue heeler piss on his ashes.
RE the girls. You could ignore them because they'll eventually pull through it, all it takes is time and something else shiny coming along for them to see the light. They'll come around, they always do?
Or, is it that they always come around because they always have someone to tell them they are beautiful and being silly? Even though you know its pointless, maybe you need to do it anyway?
