7 a mess in a dress.

I've put off writing about my slight obsession for this show because I'm not one for trashy Vh1 TV, but I have to admit, Tough Love has got me hooked. My sister & I would watch it last season & laugh the whole hour. The host Steve is a matchmaker & then 8 girls with "problems" move into the house. None of them can form a stable relationship because they're gold diggers, workaholics, have body image issues blah blah. Steve gives them the male perspective & hopefully by the end of the season finds them a match. But, Steve's love is a little tough. He's always right, but usually the girls end up in tears because they think there's nothing wrong with them. Sunday night, a few of my roommates & I decided to act like we were on the show. One of us would sit in the hot seat while the other two acted as Steve & demolished. It was painful, but we couldn't get mad because it was really Steve doing the talking through my roommates. These were our conclusions. Miss Settle: Yes, it's sad & very true. I don't feel like I should say anything more because I don't want to be mean, but let me make this clear, I am a confident, independent, driven girl. I know exactly what I want in life (even though my dating doesn't always prove that). I do not "settle" because I am afraid to be left alone or because I feel like it's the best I can get, I "settle" because I try to see the good in everyone & I usually find it, (even in the losers). I'm passive & don't tell my boyfriends if something's bothering me because i'm always over it in 5 minutes anyways, so there's no need for the drama. I don't feel like I'm settling while I'm in a relationship, even though that's what my roommates think. Phew. Sorry, just had to get that off my chest. But, no more settling for me. Pinky promise.

Ms. Quick to Judge: I nailed this one in a second & we all busted up laughing. Dearest wonderful, beautiful, sweet, darling, talented, smart Natalie, you deserve the very best in a boy but just because he wears tennis shoes with his jeans or just because he does a weird head nod, does not mean you run the other direction. Those aren't exactly red flags for a detrimental relationship. Head nods can cease & you can make over his closet. It'll all be good. (P.S. Nat knows I'm just teasing, she laughs about it too. I'm being dramatic right now for entertainment purposes) But, I must say, lately Natalie has been very adventurous & been dating all sorts of wonderful boys outside of her normal "mold" & seems to be having a grand time. Good job Natty Pants. Steve is proud.


Ms. Scared to Commit: So Funny. Loves kids. Good cook. So friendly & outgoing. So pretty. So confident. But, scared to commit. Why? She has too many dreams to chase & boys cannot get in the way. It's ok, she's the most talented person I know. "Steve's" advice to Leslie: Don't be scurred girl! Let love in. Maybe the dream boy needs to go to grad school in New York... (And it's a huge plus if he has perfect teeth.)

I'm just glad we have so much time on our hands so we can put ourselves on imaginary reality TV shows to help each other. I'll let you know how next week's group session goes.

  3. It's okay and a good idea to see the good in everyone, just imagine the most negative trait quadrupled in marriage and decide if you can live with that. High standards help to attract the best and the best won't settle for anything less than high standards. By the way, that is one of the prettiest pictures I think I have almost ever seen of you, Danielle! Always interesting and fun blog to read!

  5. Every group of girl friends should do this for each other. Such a good idea. This reminded me of the exact opposite of what the girls do in that movie " he is just not that into you"

  6. this makes me wish i was single and living in the cheetah mansion.
    seriously.
    you girls have sooooooooo much fun.
    i think being able to see the good in people is a great quality!
    BUT you shouldn't end up with someone that you are constantly searching for where exactly that good is hidden. ha.
    but way to go.
    non-judgemental-ness is HUGE.
    when your hubby wears long socks with shorts you won't waver in your love. ha.
    once you find the ONE without settling, that is better than anything you can ever hoped, i do believe that he will appreciate this characteristic!!! Even mr. right has flaws.
