Being The Datable Girl

If you’re reading this article I’m going to go ahead and assume that you’re just like me:  A female, college student, borderline alcoholic, and single as f*ck. Ladies, you are not alone. We’re young, we’re hot, we like to have a good time, and as a consequence we’ve dealt with our fair share of royal douches. So why is this? Why is it that we, the fun, outgoing, and “chill” ones are the ones dealing with all these dbags? Well, it could probably have a lot to do with the excessive amount of shots we take that lead to poor decision making, but we’re not going to blame that because 1.it’s too much fun to change and 2. I truly believe there is a stronger force at work here. This force being the “type” of girl that college guys want to date. They’re taking all the gems off the market. So listen up girls, and I’ll tell you exactly how to be the dateable betch. Next time you go home and your judgemental aunt asks you if you have a boyfriend yet you don’t have to respond with, “No, I just don’t have enough time for a boyfriend right now,” for the 19th consecutive year of your life.

  • First and foremost, you have to be the equivalent of a human tracking device. You MUST find a way to freakishly know exactly where your precious boyfriend is at all times. And if for some reason you don’t know, you better freakout at him and make him leave wherever this mysterious place is to come hang out with you and do nothing.
  • You probably shouldn’t like to have any fun. Ever. If he does convince you to go out and do something, you better make sure you’re not actually having fun. Make that apparent by standing in the corner with your arms crossed and giving everyone within a 10 foot radius of you a death glare that could keep the pits of hell aflame.
  • Don’t get along with his friends. Tell him his guy friends are immature and he shouldn’t spend so much time with them. His girl friends are just out of the question. He absolutely cannot hang out with them cause they’re clearly all slutfacedhoebags and if he says he’s chilling with them they’re obviously banging behind your back.
  • Get mad. Like super mad. All the time. Anything you can find as an excuse for him being wrong, jump on it. And if you can’t find anything, make something up. Convince him it’s all his fault and make him feel guilty to the point where he’s begging for mercy and forgiveness and pathetically professing his undying (slash inexplicable) love for you. We want him on his knees ladies.
  • Make him your b*tch. You don’t even have to wipe your butt anymore, that’s his job now. He pays for everything. I don’t care how broke he is or if that necklace is way out of his budget, he better overdraft on his debit card to get it for you. If he loves you it shouldn’t be a problem.
  • Two word alliteration: Constant contact. This one is key. Call him 8 times in 5 minutes, that’s normal. If he doesn’t answer, start texting him. Still no answer? Drive to his house and pound on his door. That’s not sketchy, that’s love. I don’t care if you guys are standing next to each other or mid-sex, hit him up. Send a fucking pigeon carrier, just get it done. There is always something to talk about, just keep it going. This is especially important when you let him hangout with his friends every once in a blue moon. Make him leave the room to chat on the phone with you for 3 hours straight, it’s least he can do for being selfish and having some fun.
  • Find out all his passwords and hack into his texts and emails. Assault the mailmain and steal his mail. It’s you’re god given right. What’s his is yours, personal information included. You deserve to know whats going on. If he’s talking to another girl you sure as hell better know about it.

In a nutshell, you need to be a crazy-jealous-stuckup-stupid-effing-b*tch. Then you can find some poor man to call your boyfriend, but he’s really just your slave.  Then you can live a long and miserable life together. Or, if you really are just like me, you can refuse to stoop to this level for a man. I’ll be the girl breaking it down on the dancefloor, taking shots, not giving a damn,  chilling by herself, and having the goddamn time of her life.


About the Author

CTL

I love college, what else can I say?

  • Reality Check

    This article is absolutely disgusting.. The reason you don’t have a boyfriend is not because girls that have boyfriends are fun sucking obsessive bitches. Your jealous because guys look at you and see waste of time.. Lots of girls are very respectable and have boyfriends. Oh and can have FUN!  Its just because well to be blunt your a slut. I read this article and laughed because it seems obvious you want a guy or a extremely jealous of those that have one and all you get is scum. Well im sorry but guys take one look at you and just don’t respect you enough to even consider putting an ounce of effort into a relationship.. So what they do is get drunk realize your easy and get on with it. Guys don’t respect girls that don’t respect themselves. They appear to be assholes like you appear to be a slut. They run hand in hand..When you think a guy is an asshole. Hes thinking your a slut. And as for the good guy you so “desire”, well sorry you lost him after the first random guy you made out with on the dance floor… Have fun with your life and good luck one day you’ll wake up in something other then some random guys bed and with possible your dignity intact.Untill then, well its doushe bag central for you and all those that agree with you.

    • Really.

      You know.. just a guess.. but I’m pretty sure this article is not supposed to be serious. 0_0

      • Guest

        Yea… this article is obviously not supposed to be taken seriously. Ever heard of sarcasm?

    • this is for ENTERTAINMENT

      hahah who’s the idiot who actually got upset at this article? fucking relax hahaha

    • Well said!

      Here is a reality check: it’s “you’re.” As in, “you’re an idiot.” “Your” is used in instances such as: “Your” comment couldn’t contain more narcissistic self-references if you tried.
      Signed,The slut at the bar

      • wow.

        After all that was said you bring out the typos?… keep slutin it up at the bars. Its obviously where you belong.

        • Exactly

          I agree with the “wow” comment! Keep slutting it up and having fun at the bars while you’re in college. In the meantime, this chick will continue being a crazy obsessive bitch of a girlfriend with the hopes that she’ll be able to trick a guy into marrying her since it’s obvious her 6th grade grammar won’t get her very far.

        • please learn to spell

          *Sluttin’, *It’s. I was unaware that good grammar was a symptom of sluttiness. Man, I must be a SKANK.

    • …..Really?

      You’re “that girl” right now. Way to prove this article right.

    • Who says I can’t be free?

      Hey reality check, do you have a boyfriend?

      The girls that surround me with boyfriends are exactly as described in this article. I on the other hand, I’m that girl “slutting it up” having a good time living the single life. I find that if you’re having fun and truly doing you whether it’s making out with someone on the dance floor or ending up somewhere with someone you don’t remember or just having a few drinks with some friends, there is someone out there who is right for you. If a dude doesn’t like who you are when you’re single, he’s not going to like who you are when you’re in a relationship with him. If you’re fun-loving, centered and know who you are and what you want first, a good man will come later.

      So I’m gonna keep doing what I’m doing; my cup filled up and held up high and proud, my dignity in tact and my smile on my face. I’m single as FUCK but I would take that over being a boring, bored and ignorant. I’m going to continue to be free from the fear of other people’s judgements.

      • Neyshan

        You’re dignity intact? Ending up somewhere with someone you don’t remember, real dignified…

    • The guy of my own dreams

      LMAO

      I read this article, laughing out loud.  Many of these replies are gold, too.

      As a college guy, I can definitely  (for the sake of the original post) arbitrarily divide college gals into the two groups:  fun girls and crazy betches.  Almost all of my male friends who have long-term relationships are with crazy, controlling women.  This may be due to the fact that the crazy women can keep their men in check, or because the crazy women tend to pray on weak men (I believe it is both), or some other factor. 

      Personally, I’ve never had a long-term girl because I don’t put up with the crazy-betch BS.  I’m an independent man looking towards the future, and I don’t want or need to be watched over like a baby.  What I would actually love is to date the type of girl you describe as fun & down to earth… however, every single girl like that who I ask out (on a formal or informal date) is never interested … they only want to party and fuck a new random dude! 

      So what I’m saying is that if you want to get a boyfriend, you’re going to have to compromise on your “fun” lifestyle a bit and realize that no self-respecting guy (one with a future, like myself) will date a whore.

      • JM

        Obviously everything in this article is pure sarcasm, so I don’t know why people are taking offense to it. However, there is some truth to it. My friends that always have boyfriends are psychos and the ones that are single are the ones that, when they are ready, would be much better girlfriend material. 

        With that said, “guy of my own dreams,” I think you may be the guy of my dreams. Just saying. 

    • Neyshan

      APOSTROPHES USE THEM!!!


      • Avery

        Apostrophes use what?

    • AK

      Not a reality check, more like a bashing. Grow up, it’s a joke. If you can’t take it as a joke don’t comment. Shit, just because you don’t agree with a joke doesn’t mean you have to degrade the poor girl. 

    • Ashweeweann

      It’s obvious you’re so pissed off about this article because you know it describes you oh so accurately. Stop being such an insecure, crazy, controlling betch and take a joke. It’s hilarious.

  • PartyGirl

    Literally laughed out loud reading this! Made my night!

  • Asparr2814

    The girl who freaked out is the Epitome of what this article is saying. As for the writer THANK GOD someone finally said it. Cheers to that.

    • Neyshan

      Nah I think she is just sick of of hearing this kind of crap. If you want to go out and party that’s fine but to claim everyone who has a boyfriend is a super bitch and possessive is just as incorrect as saying every girl who goes out and parties is a whore.

  • Jon

    Not sure if this is sarcasm, and the author doesn’t clarify… I’ll hold my reaction until further information is obtained.

  • get it gurl

    FUCK YEAH GIRL. this is everything i think and more. college is for having the time of your life, drinking way too much, trying new things (and people), and all around not giving a fuck. you NEVER get another chance to do all these things, because once you start doing all those things as an adult, it’s preeeeetty much frowned upon. so stop being a bitch and live. sure, if a guy comes around that can keep up with you and keep you entertained- GREAT! but don’t wait around like bitcherella until that happens. he’ll find you, trust me.

  • carli

    Why do girls constantly feel the need to shit talk other girls? This article and the comments  below lump girls into two categories, which is completely inaccurate and immature. Just because you do what you want during your college years and have fun doesn’t make you better than girls who choose to have boyfriends–they’re not all stuck-up obsessive bitches, you know… some people actually have healthy relationships. On the other hand, just because you have a boyfriend and choose not to sleep with multiple people does not make you any better than girls who do. Everyone is different, and everyone has the right to choose what they want to do with their life and their body. Trying to classify people into specific categories just makes you ignorant. Calm the fuck down, enjoy your life, stop caring what other girls think about you, and STOP shit talking people you don’t know a fucking thing about.

    • Kicker

      Yo crazy, I think YOU need to calm down. let people bitch, who gives a fuck.

      • carli

        As a women’s studies major, I give a fuck. Encouraging girls to insult each other propagates a culture where women can’t even respect themselves, and that’s not OK. Slut-bashing and virgin-bashing are two of the most common forms of girl-on-girl insults, and I think it’s sad. If everyone just stopped trying to one-up everyone else and continuously comparing themselves to others, people would be a lot happier.

        • guest

          As a computer science major I will actually have a job when I graduate.

          • carli

            Very funny. Luckily, I’m smart enough to be double-majoring in something that I know is conducive to a career. Is that really the only counter-argument you have? Weak.

          • AK

            As a women’s studies major.. you have absolutely no concept of joking.. 

          • Rhrn17

            @507ed0f09da5f39ff106b69b5a7c9579:disqus  that was so awesome. winning!
            Not.

    • Chillout

      i don’t think she directly referenced you when she wrote this… calm down.

  • brosef stalin

    that guy in the picture looks like he knows how to party.

  • Xavier

    wow as a guy in law school, I gotta say that we dont go for those types of girls described after sophmore year undergrad if we have any long term potential in us. This sounds sarcastic and bitter and a “its not me, its the guys being duped by these crazy effing “betches”.” It is you. Sorry. You are looking in the wrong places and you are acting in a manner not conducive to a good relationship. if your partying all the time, you probably havent gone through your “whore phase” yet, and no guy in his right mind will want to settle down with a girl who at 30, when they are married and have a kid, decides she wants to finally have that 3some with two guys, try the swinger lifestyle and learn first hand if the ethnic rumors on penis size are true by sampling them all. I think you all should figure out exactly why your single. 
       You either: A) want to be that way and just arent admitting that while you would like the idea of someone caring about you, you would rather be licking jello shots off a six pack of abs every night and having crazy sex with tons of hot guys rather than forging something meaningful, 
    B) or you are doing something wrong. You dont find quality guys of substance with some sort of future pounding gold schlagger at 1am in the trashy bar near the stadium. that guy is only interested in 4 things: having money/looking cool, getting trashed, Fucking the hottest bitch he can find so he can brag to his friends about what she let him do to her  even if its not true(Doggy, anal, cum on her face, tbag, male domination bs), and doing that GTL.

        If the non-dbag guy is the guy you want to be in a relationship with, here is what you do:1) Dont go looking for that guy, cause you will never find him. try to develop yourself, your interests and your passions. The good guy is probably not the one you are going to meet between your 4th and 5th jager bombs of the night, but will be the guy you meet at the rock climbing gym, the wine tasting club, the charity 10k. Guys have interests too and its hard to date a girl long term when the only significant activity you have in common is boozing.
     2) develop an interest in a particular guy. you gotta be crushing on him like your in the 5th grade and all that. if you are luke warm about the guy before hand, the relationship will be luke warm, and he will be looking for that girl that frankly gives him a better blowjob or is less drama, etc. If you are really into the guy, he’ll like you and stay with you even if you give some of the worst head he has ever gotten because hell, you more than make up for it in other non-sexual ways. and the best head he ever got might be from an ugly chick he is otherwise ashamed to say he hooked up with.
    3) lets get off the sex for a moment. Cause its really not about that. its a big part of it, but longevity wont come from the sex, it will come from the stuff outside the bedroom. If you want the non- douche de jour, you have to know the type of guy you want. Do you want mr. wallstreet? cause he is gonna hang out and do different things than the guy that wants to chase Yogi bear or play 4 square with fourth graders until he is 60. Put yourself in the same areas as that guy. you cant get noticed by the future partner of a law firm if you arent spending time in the library. Likewise the captain in the Air Force leading a squad of fighter jets is not going to be eating at burger king. he will be hitting up crossfit and eating paleo.

    Useful places to check out: cooking classes (the guy who can cook is a bonus), the lobby or atrium areas to the buildings with all the business classes in em. Nice future rich guy generally wont be taking “history on 80′s music”, gym classes, martial arts places, ymcas, organic supermarkets, petsmart (guys who like animals enough to drop bank on pet stuff are generally more caring types), charities- humane society, march of dimes. 10k’s, olympic length tri’s, mud runs, will get you guys in shape enough and with enough resolve and determination that their gym sessions arent just so they look good naked.

    Have faith and you will be alright.
    PS dont go grab a guy just because you want to square that part of your life away so you can pursue being type A (cant tell you how many 1L girls got their hearts shredded by the long term BF they had because they werent putting forth effort in the relationship and left it on cruise control.) those hoebags describe above are gonna learn when they hit 26 that they cant guys as easily as they used to because the guys that would put up with their shit would rather go for a younger model anyhow.

    • Kangjack

      xavier… must be a cross country runner in the business related field… pushin hard for his 10k charities

  • Neyshan

    These women entertain me to no end just because it’s hysterical to watch what happens to them when they graduate. Around age 25-28 they look around and realize “Crap, my friends all have long term boyfriends/fiancees/husbands, I need to stop partying and settle down” The only problem is that since they spent the last 5-10 years doing nothing except partying they have the personality of a wet dish rage and are boring as can be to talk too since when you ask them what they have been up to lately the answer is always “Drinking, oh and I fucked so and so last weekend”.

  • Crazies

    Whoever is getting mad at this article is stupid. It’s obviously a joke. Pretty sure this girl doesn’t think everyone acts like this. It’s funny, and I think I speak for everyone here when I say you know at least ONE girl (or guy) who acts this way. I have many gf with bf and some act like this. Sometimes I see this happening and I think wow how is that hott, nice guy still with her and I’m still single for yes the 21st consecutive year. I’m not a slut, don’t sleep around with random guys, I love going out to the bars with my friends and am not a crazy girl. Im also not afraid of calling out the psychos in my friends bc alot of times those girls are blinded and don’t see what they’re doing – that is until they breakup.

  • Piper

    holy fuck… does no one reading this understand comedy? put it on the back burner and simmer. 

  • ComeAtMe

    if you don’t like it, don’t read it. no one who understands CTL gives a flying damn about “girl-on-girl insults” This post is very accurate and the only way it’s immature is because girls who get locked down and think they have everything figured out at the age of 21 are really immature as they come and do all the things listed above. It’s a joke. Maybe if you put down your holy double major and took some notes outside of the classroom in college, you’ll learn more about life and actually have memories to smile about when you get older

  • Callidt

    People clearly need to calm down. It’s a funny article that is SARCASTIC! Obviously this is not how you ever get a respectably boyfriend it’s one of those rants you have where you say you are going to do something but in all seriousness you don’t. 

  • joe1764

    lol yeah its clearly a joke 

  • Ashley

    Well put and HILARIOUS. I would say through the sarcasm that it’s about 85-95% TRUE!

  • picklefight

    I know guys that are 30 still dating these horrendouche bitches.  Break up, get back together, break up, get back together.  These girls also have the most HILARIOUS senses of humor.  Cue, I put a bartool in my box hilarity!!!!!! I agree, Id rather be having fun and not giving a f* about the losers who insist on castrating themselves. PARTY!!!!!

  • Ng64219

    lol maybe the fact that no1 picks up on the sarcasm if reflective the the skill of the writer to convey that…oops

  • Author

    Whoa. I never knew CTL actually posted this. I wrote this article a while back, and I just want to clarify that it was indeed a joke. Of course, I know not all girls in relationships are crazy. I have plenty of friends who are in relationships, and they are sane, wonderful people. I just noticed that a lot of girls are , well, fucking nuts when it comes to their boyfriends, so that’s what I decided to write about. It’s a generalization, but only for the joke’s sake. Kind of hard to make a joke without exaggerating. Sorry to those I offended, was not the intention. Except for “reality check,” who called me a slut. You I’m not sorry I offended, because you clearly are a crazy bitch. Also, you spelled you’re wrong.
