Intimidated by Rival

Anonymous wrote:Just started trying to woo an incredibly awesome man in my social circle, and then encountered his most recent ex-girlfriend at a party. I am completely intimidated, she is the kind of girl who would be the protagonist in a YA novel. We are all in our late twenties.

Let's go through her insane list of attributes:

- amazing body, very physically fit
- all natural beauty (relaxed and lovely and natural, not high maintenance or fake)
- incredibly nice person
- witty
- as well-read as I am or even better-read
- went to HYP
- very good job
- very cultured
- amazing amateur pastry chef and cook
- has a microbrewery in her home
- very good flirt
- very socially popular
- comes from a rich family
- has an adorable and enviable life, as shown by her Instagram
- life of the party
- someone any girl (including me if I wasn't so jealous) would want to be friends with, and any man would want to date : /

I have spent Sunday eating cake, drinking wine and being disheartened. I don't have a chance with the object of my affection. I found out the only reason they broke up was because she found someone else.

So maybe she's a devious slut who can't be trusted. Stunning when you first meet her but has lots of hidden nasty qualities. Give yourself a break, OP!

#1 rule of advice for anyone worried about "intimidating" ex-GF:

Somewhere, some guy is tired of fucking her.

I for some reason (browsing from Recent topics) thought you were intimidated by the Crock Pot manufacturer.

Actually OP you don't have a chance because YOU are an emotional train wreck.

Even if you do manage to woo this incredibly awesome guy I got $50 says within a month he will be dying to get the hell away from you and all the drama that comes with your insecurity and emotional instability.

1. her bathroom is a mess
2. she's a mini-stalker with a jealous streak
3. she only showers every three days
4. she farts a lot and they're smelly
5. she parks in handicapped spaces
6. laughs like a hyena
7. picks her nose and ass crack when she thinks nobody can tell

It's easy to look successful on Facebook.

Yes, I want to see her Instagram now.

Stop looking at her Instagram. Go do something to make yourself a better person, and enjoy all the riches you have.

Maybe she doesn't give head (or very well or complete the act).

A woman with an amazing list of qualities would not be considered if she were a sexual dud.

Don't worry, just keep training your Pokemon and your rival won't be so tough anymore!

What kind of YA novels do you read? I've never read one where the heroine is perfect. They always have quirks/flaws.
