Another One of Benjy's Theories

Benjy has this theory. He thinks that once girls women get into a relationship the only reason they really get dressed up is for other women. Like if you are going to the grocery store, you don’t do your hair and make up and finally change out of your pjs for the other men in the store, you put all the effort into looking good to show up the other women in the store (I’m convinced that this is why you see mothers in the produce department wearing stilettos). The same theory applies when you go on a double date. You don’t dress up to look nice but to look nicer than the other girl on the date.

For years I have contested this theory but I am finally ready to concede. Benjy may be right. There, I said it. I want Benjy to think I am still good looking and be attracted to me so I still try. But I have also figured out the straggly. I only have to try and look better than the women around us so that he thinks he is still getting a good deal. How sad is that?

But here is the positive side to Ben’s random theory. Sometimes you meet people who are just cute. You know, even in their scrubs they still coordinate kind of people. I like having these people in my life. It’s not that I want to out do them but it is that they motivate me. It helps when they are nice about it too (turns out that I am not nice about it though. Me and my big mouth told one of these such people that if she lost any weight, I couldn’t be happy for her. I was kidding when I said it but you should see her though! She is frickin gorgeous! I hope I didn’t offend her, if I did, SORRY!) I have met one of these people in my new home town and I love it! I guess my point is that even though Benjy is right, maybe he is wrong too. What if I am not dressing up for other women but sometimes other women just help me want to look better. Does that even make sense?
