True Life: These People are Retarded!

It gets more and more ridiculous.  I don’t get the obsession with failing relationships and people being obsessed with being “serious” with each other when they really don’t need to be together at all!!
And what is it with all of these ugly people trying to be models?  It’s bad enough that the “supermodels” only function as walking hangers, but people with busted faces shouldn’t even try to get into that industry.  Ugh but that’s another story.  Back to the situation at hand.
I watch True Life a lot.  Unfortunately, I believe that some episodes of True Life do reflect how dumb people are in real life.  I’m currently watching True Life: I’m at a Crossroads in My Relationship.  Each of the ladies featured in the episode deserves her own title to describe her situation:
True Life: I’m Dating a Loser and Can’t Figure Out Why I’m Unhappy
and
True Life: I Shouldn’t be in Allowed to be in a Relationship
Umm yea, I feel like I have the right to comment on this.  People are dumb.  So one girl is dating a loser who is clearly only staying with her in order to mooch.  Dude is not a catch, and that is evident from his interactions with her.  The girl seems cool though, and I think she has a good future but only if she dumps loser.  I’ve seen a couple of my friends go through this pattern and it never ends well.  
And why do people say shit like “saving grace.”  I don’t like that.  It doesn’t sound cute.
On a different episodes called True Life: I Can’t Leave My Boyfriend there is a blonde girl dating a guy named Hangman.  Yea.  Hangman.  Think about that for a second.  Hangman is 40.  Blonde girl is 20.  Even though Hangman is not good for blonde girl, she is obsessed with him.  But she claims that she doesn’t care whether they break up or stay together.  Then she moves home to Pennsylvania and leaves him in New York.  Here’s my real concern with this episode:  when we first meet blonde girl, she introduces herself as a sophomore at the Fashion Institute of Technology, or FIT.  Then she spends half of the episode deciding whether she should move back to PA.  She even realizes that unless she completely leaves NY, she is not going to be able to leave Hangman.  Umm WTF?  So she ditched her entire career and dropped out of school so she could control her urges to be with this Hangman?  I really hope not, but that is what is implied in the episode.  Hopefully she just moved back for summer break or something.
Anyway, I guess I just don’t realize why people stay together when they can’t stand each other and are truly miserable.  My mom would suggest that they only do it to get their 15 minutes on MTV.  Normally I would shrug it off as that, but even though True Life may be exaggerated, there are people who really do live like this.  They stay in miserable relationships or stay with their partner regardless of whether they actually care for one another simply so they can “be in a relationship.”  I’ve seen it several times.  Usually from those girls who have made it their life goal to be a housewife.  The same girls who do the casual sex thing while secretly hoping that it will turn into a lifetime commitment.  The same girls that are obsessed with dating.  The same girls I talked about in my last blog.
It sucks when you are so close to the problem that you can’t see it clearly.  We’ve all been in that position one way or another.  Unfortunately, even when outside observations suggest that there is something wrong – or even when it is obvious – they often can’t see it, or refuse to acknowledge it.
I may sound harsh, but I am just stating what I know to be true.  I don’t proclaim to know everything, I just believe that some things are right, and some things are wrong.  And it has nothing to do with religion or politics.  I don’t think things are right or wrong based on the actual act being performed, rather, I think that things are right or wrong based on the effect that they have on other people.  More on this to come.
