"She's the kind of girl that likes to be covered up"

This quote is very cute, because it's referring to a cat.The cat's owner had left town for a couple of weeks and had bestowed this big furball of love into the hands of a trusted friend. The friend decided to take this cat in for a "trim" (the owner claimed it was more of a buzz) because when the owner had returned, the cat seemed thinner...slimmer. I said that it must be a good thing and the response was the quote.This quote is cute and may even be silly, when it's about a cat or any other animal. However, if you take it out of context others will think the quote is about a particular girl.

So I raise this question to all the gents and gals reading this. What images pop into your head when you read/perhaps hear this quote? Does a prudist girl come up? Nerdy? Preppy? Is the image even about a "girl" or that of a woman? I will bet you this though...that the image is not that of a cat. Unless you're the parties involved: yours truly, the cat owner, or the cat.

Of course men will say that they want someone who's dressed appropriately for each occasion. And for the most part I will agree with this. There's nothing worse than someone who's rigid and inadaptable. With that said, I still believe that there are certain stereotypes that people tend to be categorized in. Particularly, in the way that a woman is dressed. Men don't always feel comfortable dating a full on nerd, or a full on slut. Most would claim that they want someone in between. :::Chuckles:::Eye roll:::: Of course they would say that! No man wants to shoot himself in the foot and no man would. Smart bastards.

However, I will say this. With most men, much like women, there are patterns in the people that they see or date and even marry. Men just don't go from dating a full on nerd (no, not the sexy kind) to a full on Pamela the next day. It just does not happen! And to believe that it does is just simply silly. Why? Because there there things known as preferences. Sure we like to try different and new restaurants every now and then but in times of need we go with that we're most comfortable with. Sure a man may date a scantily clad woman here and there but if he's use to dating and marrying the conservative, chances are he'll go back to what he's use to. That doesn't mean the conservative/girl who "likes to be covered up" can't show a bit of skin every now and then. Far from it, usually, it's the "covered up" ones that end up surpsrising the living day lights out of everyone else. Too bad people don't kiss and tell.


I'm a firm believer that "maybe" is a alot sexier than simply a yes or a no. Because "maybe" in theatre is the moment of "unlimited possibilities" and business it's seen as "endless opportunities" (in life it's "you're about to tbe screwed over" lol just kidding!). I've always known and believe this correlation, however, seeing it in actual words makes it seems more concrete...official for some reason.

I guess you could say I'm an advocate for girls who "likes to be covered up", however, I think it does have alot to do with what the girl is like as oppose to what she's wearing. Something that says "maybe" on one person may just simply be a flat "no" on another.

So next time you see a girl who's "covered up" , before you ignore her, try to imagine what she'll look like bent over a desk - I'm sure that'll give you enough reasons to come up and talk to the poor girl. Tell her I sent you, or maybe she'll beat you to the punch and say that I sent her. ;-P
