Okay, so I was going to go to bed because it is insanely early in the morning, but I couldn't let this post wait. So it started out with someone talking to me tonight, trying to flirt with/impress me with his wit and telling me that I'm beautiful and such. Enough to make a girl swoon, right? Wrong. Sure, it's fun to randomly flirt, but honestly, empty words and an ingenuine personality is not going to get you anywhere with me. I feel exactly like Shania Twain in her song "That don't impress me much":
I've known a few guys who thought they were pretty smart
But you've got being right down to an art
You think you're a genius-you drive me up the wall
You're a regular original, a know-it-all
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're special
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something else
Okay, so you're a rocket scientist
That don't impress me much
So you got the brain but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much
I never knew a guy who carried a mirror in his pocket
And a comb up his sleeve-just in case
And all that extra hold gel in your hair oughtta lock it
'Cause Heaven forbid it should fall outta place
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're special
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something else
Okay, so you're Brad Pitt
That don't impress me much
So you got the looks but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much
You're one of those guys who likes to shine his machine
You make me take off my shoes before you let me get in
I can't believe you kiss your car good night
C'mon baby tell me-you must be jokin', right!
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're special
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something else
Okay, so you've got a car
That don't impress me much
So you got the moves but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much
You think you're cool but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm on the long, cold, lonely night
That don't impress me much
Okay, so what do you think you're Elvis or something...
Oo-Oh-Oh
That don't impress me much!
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-No
Alright! Alright!
You're Tarzan!
Captain Kirk maybe.
John Wayne.
Whatever!
That don't impress me much!
Bottom line: Intelligence, looks, and moves alone won't get a guy anywhere with me. It's the intentions, and the goals, and the honesty of a person, and the compassion and love that person shows to others. Smooth lines are nothing compared to that. Think you're not up to the challenge? Well then, it's your loss. There have been very few guys that have impressed me like I have just said, and let's face it, those guys are the ones that will stick with me forever.
