I’ve never been ‘that girl’.
How many women wake up every day and find themselves under pressure to head out, feel great, look great, and be admired, loved, and gushed about? How many women feel constantly needful of a dynamic personality who is adequately feminine, who can put her makeup on flawlessly, and garner male attention every step of her way? How many of them give up at the end of every day and are reduced to an insecure question that sums up their lives – “What’s wrong with me?”
Maybe you were never destined to be “that girl”. Maybe you weren’t meant to define your femininity using the amount of attention you managed to attract. And maybe, you were meant to take your insecurities in your stride and live life on your own terms. In this video, a girl challenges social pressures in a fight to be just the way she is. She decides that she wants to be that girl. Watch!

Just because you don’t get as much attention from guys as those girls and aren’t as pretty as them, doesn’t mean you gotta put them down like they’re superficial boy chasers to make yourself feel like you’re meant to be more than them. You aren’t destined to be more. You’re destined to be you. And so are they, that’s just what they’re doing. Let them. This is just another way you’re telling girls to one-up each other. Everyone is incomparable. But I get the message. Appreciate yourself for who you are, even if you’re not pitch perfect and glamorous like the media tells you to be and don’t try to be something you’re not. Believe in yourself. I just don’t like how the message was worded.

Girls compete with each other for male attention, and that is why they wear revealing attire. Show skin, lure men, have consensual sex, and then accuse innocent men of rape.

So do you really care for men but I don’t see you doing anything for men other than shaming women. Where were you when Yka post article about 20 year boy who was raped.I doesn’t see any single comment. OH Yes, You have a problem with women and you don’t care how many men die as long as you get to see women shamed and blamed and harass.

I don’t see you doing anything except shaming men. It is an old, pathetic, cheap, tactic of feminists to silence men.

Why I do anything for men. I am a women and I am not a feminist so I am not going to do anything for men. But i am also not going to be a hurdle in their path. They can do whatever they want to do as long as they are not hurting anyone else. But if anyone (men, women or animal) try to hurt other I am not going to shut up. And I doesn’t shame men. No where in my comment I have written that men are bad or only men rape. But it was waste to try to reason with you. So keep doing these things and it will lead you to nowhere.

Looking at the girl who made this video, I am sure many people would not want to be ‘that’ girl.

I find it ironic that the video talks about not being ‘that girl’ who shapes her life around getting attention from others but still uses as the display pic for the video, the scene from the video which shows maximum skin just to get the attention from viewers!!! So isnt she still That Girl?!?!

Wow, this video tells the real story. What exactly women must do with their lives than to chase “that guy”, sexually and mentally manipulate “that guy”. What an amazing story told in 2 minutes. And it shows exactly what is wrong with most females these days (irrespective of how attractive they are). Living your life and loving yourself is what makes you a grown up. Not having a boyfriend who looks like Brad Pitt. That just makes you his girlfriend (and him your boyfriend if chasing women is all he does). Being independent in a relationship is not only about having a job and being able to support oneself, its about being able to love yourself and do just as well when you are out of the relationship as well.
