Your gross scars reflected

– in the right eyes!

By

Ross E F Lombardi

.

<NOTE: At the time of writing, The world adult population, defined as those 18 years and older, is estimated to be around 6.2 billion.>

.

I am often told…

“ALL WOMAN DON’T LIKE <X>”

(Where <X> is whatever random factor, character trait, “flaw”, Or behaviours being discussed.)

.

If you are a woman yourself

You might not like <X>

.

Every Woman you know might Not like <X>

Every woman you ever met might Not like <X>

Every woman you might ever meet might Not like <X>

.

Three point one billion woman worldwide might Not like <X>

.

But - Three point one billion woman, does NOT equal every woman.

.

I am not interested in meeting “little-miss-every-woman”

I am Not interested in meeting THEM!

There might be someone that LOVES me Exactly because of <X>!

Statistically that must be the case!

.

You might be correct about your assumption in the vast majority of woman in existence.

BUT…

… I am Not interested in meeting THEM!

I am interested in meeting that one fellow weirdo,

Who is perhaps only THAT One person,

…in a,

…one and a half billion.

.

How do I know such a rare spirit exists?

Despite your personal insistence that they do not?

How am I so sure?

Because I am full of <Y> factors.

(Where <Y> is whatever random factors, character traits, “flaws”, Or behaviours that makes me attracted the sorts of things in a woman, Other “normal” men are not attracted to.)

.

Somewhere out there,

Despite all odds,

There is a woman who is “royally-fucked-up” in just the right way that perfectly matches how “royally-fucked-up” I am!

Who can love me, and who I can love back, BECAUSE OF OUR “FLAWS”,

Instead of in-spite of them!

.

You can keep your “every-woman” who does not like my factor <X>

I am looking for that one rare woman who will love me for it!

.

And to every woman out there, that is ever told,

“Men do not like <Y>”

“No man wants <Y>”

“No man wants a woman who is <Y>”

Know that you are being spoon-fed some high stinking “conform-to-the-heard” bullshit!

.

Every time you are told,

That everyman cares about,

“Your massively high body count”

You are being lied to!

OR

Every time you are told,

That everyman cares about,

“Your lack of sexual experience”

You are being lied to!

.

Every time you are told,

That No man finds your-

“Strength” Or “Personal Code” Or “Willpower!” Or “Mind” Or “Courage” – Unattractive.

You are being lied to!

OR

Every time you are told,

That No man finds your-

“Weakness” Or “immorality” Or “lack of will!” Or “Stupidity” Or “Cowardice” – Unattractive.

You are being lied to!

.

Every time you are told,

That everyman is disgusted by,

Your personal “flaw” <Y> factor. – Whatever that may or may not be.

You are being lied to!

.

Who the fuck so arrogant that they feel that they have the right to speak for an entire gender anyway!

Now THAT!

That for me IS a turn off!

Ignore that shit!

Somewhere your lists of factor <Y>’s Might match some man’s lists of factor <X>’s

And only THAT person matters!

Not everyone else!

.

And what are my most mentioned factor <X>? - You may ask?

Me?

I am unashamedly needy,

I want to make some women, the right woman, not just any woman,

…The centre of my universe…

To write poetry, and songs and constantly long for…

.

IF - You want some man who is happy to ignore you for days?

Who will not need you?

Who will not always long for you?

Who will not be always thinking of you?

Who will not always want you?

Who will not always be there and forever loyal to you?

Then swipe left –

Move along.

Best wishes

Good luck with that.

Because THAT will never be “me”!

.

So, don’t bother giving me dating advice,

Don’t bother telling me how to be attractive to the vast majority of woman.

Because when I love -

– I love hard and fearlessly.

I would much rather die alone, than ever change that about myself.

And it is ok for you to disagree,

It’s ok for you to find that trait in me unattractive.

That is a good thing!

It just means that we will never be suitable for each other.

But just because You and almost every other woman in the world, finds that unattractive,

That does not mean that there is no one our there for me at all!

It just means that woman is very rare.

…And all-the-more extra special because of that!

.

Dear people of the world…

Here is the news according to THIS Man!

YOU ARE OK!

YOU ARE ENOUGH!

There is billion-dollar industry dedicated to making you feel like shit,

Offering to “improve” you.

Offering to “fix” you.

Fix what? Improve what? You are a human being, a unique human being - not a fucking car engine!

Screw those guys!

.

No one should settle for what everyone else likes or approves of.

Somone is special to you because they are uniquely beautiful in their “royally-screwed-up-ness”.

Who’s special “royally-screwed-up-ness” perfectly fits your own “royally-screwed-up-ness”.

.

True, You may never meet that person,

True, You are highly unlikely to ever meet that person.

But you can’t win a lottery jackpot without buying a ticket!

So, get out there and give serendipity a chance!

.

And if you never meet,

Then you are both better off single!

Then you are becoming an “every-person” just to meet someone who can never be right for you!

.

IF - You do not want a just a mere “Companion”

IF - You want Real “Romantic-Old-School-Style” Love.

Then have courage!

Then hold out for it!

.

What some call “healing”

I call losing your real self, your uniqueness, your essences, your soul.

You are damaged because you survived, where other weaker people did not.

Never be ashamed of those war medals!

You earned those scares.

.

YES,

TRUE,

Those scars DO make You heinously grotesque –

…to most.

However…

…Those same scars will also make you achingly adoringly cute, beyond all measure…

…To the right set…

… of passion filled eyes!
