Description

One of the few traits I share with my mother  
We cry when we hear some really heartfelt compliment

So, this happened around... my first semester of college (?) Senior year of high school was long, painful and downright depressing at times I mean, even my mom didn't know what to do about me when I tried talking to her about my problems besides telling me, "You're being ridiculous. And you know what? You have a few more months to go. Just suck it up best you can." <-- GOD! I was pissed off with her that night   

Then this interesting little incident occurred I swear, sometimes my mom knows me better than I know myself (emphasis on "sometimes"). Like, she just knows the right thing to renew my faith in humanity. And it really was nice to know that my trademark isn't my sub-par looks but my bright and polite attitude  

*Used his initials on the VERY off-chance he sees this comic floating around on the internet somewhere Also, JD* wasn't a jerk or anything. He was just more in-crowd than I was, and I tend to get intimidated by people that are more in-crowd than I am...
Also, I really hope you guys don't think I'm horribly vain It can be very grating on a girl's nerves when she lives in a world that puts her sexual and visual beauty above all else. Plus, the pressure of dating someone back in high school... UGH!

Aww, that guy sounds like a very sweet person Andria. And it's amazing to see that someone cared about how you were as a person and not by appearance.

It does seem stressful to deal with where you live andria. I wish I can understand better since I don't live in Texas. But you got my full support here.
And plus, you are a wonderful person by heart, you're sweet and kind and all of everything I like in a person, an amazingly kind hearted person who is polite, and always nice to anybody new.

I wouldn't say it's hard in TEXAS Just America in general. Stuff like rape jokes and catcalling and guys being sleazy bastards isn't exclusive to ONE state. It's hard living in a world that values your physical and sexual appeal over most anything else.

Ooh, my apology...
I guess I'm just not really aware of that since I just never seem to care on how I look nor how other people look. I just like someone for who they are inside.
And plus nobody has ever insulted me for my appearance, but I am fully aware on my looks, I'm no prince charming.

And that's the beauty of being born male

Well, I'll admit sometimes being male for me sucks. Especially at Teen age rn. Most adults, young kids and female teens tends to be uncomfortable to how I DON'T act like a stereotype male teen. In case to remind you I was once called a creep behind my back when all I was doing was just hanging out with a girl that doesn't mind how I am.

Though, I do emphasize on a girl's perspective because knowing the sexism in this world, it does seem hard to find a group of people to accept a girl for who they are and not over emphasize on their appearance.

For me, an appearance on a girl doesn't matter, if they're chubby or skinny, have an amputated arm and ect. I wouldn't judge them one bit. I rather see them for what they are inside.  
Though it's hard since not alot of people accept my view and most would ask why I haven't got a girlfriend at school.

I don't doubt that guys have problems too; I'm not saying that I'm just admitting a common problem with being female. I mean, I remember reading an article about a woman who sued the company she worked for because they wouldn't give her a promotion on account of the fact that she didn't dress pretty or wear makeup. She was SUPER qualified for the promotion, but her employers didn't like that she wouldn't wear a pencil skirt and cosmetics. Like, WTH does THAT have to do with getting a job done?! 

I'm definitely glad there are guys like you and your perspectives  

Don't let it get you down. My dad was considered weird back when he was in high school because he didn't sleep around with all the girls. In fact, a lot of people thought my dad was gay BECAUSE he didn't have sex with a bunch of girls. Look where he is now Happily married with three kids and living in a nice house.

 ..You know I had a dream about getting a company, and if there is one thing I wanna surpass that most business don't do is to be a genuine and honest man who doesn't act like an ass like the company you reference. Refusing to give a girl a promotion because she isn't wearing anything beautiful is the stupidest reasons to not have her upper up on her job. Heck, in my opinion they would potentially loose a great worker who actually PUTS effort in the business all for the name of sex, I mean who cares they might get a new worker that might be better, my point is that their reasons to not promote a worker who is female is just full on dumb.  

And I'm glad that I get to me amazing people like you~ And I'm happy that for who I am you see me as a great friend.

At least knowing how I am I will still have a good life and one day I will find someone to love with.  I'm sure that'll happen to you to someday~
