Blog PostsTo Everyone Who Had a Problem With the Most Recent Episode of “Girls”

Many people like to have sex.

Yes, even the people you don’t find attractive.

Sometimes people you don’t find attractive have sex with other people you don’t find attractive.

You don’t like to know this. You don’t like having a mental picture of two ugly people humping each other.

But guess what? Sometimes, people you don’t find attractive will have sex with people you do find attractive.

Sometimes the person you find attractive is really attractive. Maybe even gorgeous, by any standard. And that incredibly attractive person still wants to have sex with a person you find unattractive, maybe even repulsive.

Right now, a person you might find attractive is probably having sex with someone you don’t find attractive, even as you are reading this.

It’s happening all over the world.

On your TV screens, and also in real life.

You know why this is happening?

That person you find attractive? Is very attracted to the person you don’t find attractive.

That’s right. The person you find unattractive is considered attractive to other people.

Yes, even if the person is chubby.

Yes, even if the person is – gasp – fat.

Yes, even if the person has other obvious physical “flaws.”

See, the things you consider flaws? Not everyone considers them flaws. Some people find those flaws attractive. Even sexually appealing.

You can’t handle this. You can’t handle the idea that someone you would really like to have sex with is out there, having sex with someone you don’t find attractive, someone who is probably less attractive than you.

These thoughts are plaguing your brain. You find these thoughts uncomfortable. Maybe these thoughts are even driving you to jealousy, or anger.

Here is my advice for dealing with these unwelcome thoughts:

Get over it.

You’re welcome.

    I had to look up some context for this post, there was a daily mail article about how critics have dubbed the latest episode to be implausible.

    I hate two things about this response, firstly the comments made towards Lisa Dunham, secondly the arrogance of it all. I hate that there are people who think that the way that they view people is universal and that if they don’t see something in someone it means that it isn’t there.

    My sister is married to someone who is just famous enough to have an article about their relationship written when he left his former wife for my sister. One woman on a newspaper website basically said that she (my sister) was a gold digger because there was no way that she would have found someone who looks like my brother in law attractive if he had no money.

    It’s just a very hateful, arrogant and judgemental way to view people.

    I hope that I didn’t get too emotional in this post.
