Social Awareness
Do you ever wonder if that guy who thinks he can get that girl knows that he's that guy and can't get that girl?
My brother and I had a cassette tape of the Lion King soundtrack that our babysitter had recorded over a comedy show and then given to us. If you let the tape run to the end you get past the singing animals and to the comedian whose first line was, "Pigs don't know pigs stink." Of course, our five and six year old minds thought that was hilarious.
Now, not only is that saying not hilarious; it's horrifying! I mean, what if you are obnoxious and you don't know it? What if you're the person that everyone feels like they have to be nice to. What if you're someones social charity case? Because, I swear, that girl that laughs way too loud at the party at some dude's joke, doesn't know she's being too loud. And that guy who thinks he can get that girl, really thinks he can and will.
Yet we reinforce a lot of these socially retarded attributes because we're nice people. We don't tell an ultra nerd to bug off because we're nice girls. So we let him take us on a date and then hint that we really shouldn't go out again. Then we say that at least we got to know him a little better and didn't judge on our first impression to feel better about wasting his money, time and dreams. The poor guy only got his hopes up and we crushed him and tells all his friends that we're only pretty on the outside, when we're really just trying to be nice. Because he's THAT guy and we're THAT girl.
