You need to stop asking.Storified by Meenakshi Madhavan · Fri, Sep 25 2015 06:02:30

Y’know when you try to fix guy friends up & you’re like, “So-and-so is really smart & fun & kind” & they wait & say, “but is she HOT?"— Meenakshi Madhavan · Tue, Sep 22 2015 13:32:09

And you know that they’re hoping for legs up to the sky supermodels & your friend is so lovely, lovelier than this guy.— Meenakshi Madhavan · Tue, Sep 22 2015 13:32:42

But your friend is not a supermodel & screw you, Guy, for having such exacting standards for women that all the rest of it is negated.— Meenakshi Madhavan · Tue, Sep 22 2015 13:33:16

Before I’d say, “Yeah, she’s pretty but..” & now I say, “Yes, she’s beautiful” because fuck you.— Meenakshi Madhavan · Tue, Sep 22 2015 13:33:59

My friend is kind & smart & important & you know what? She’s sooo much better looking than you are.— Meenakshi Madhavan · Tue, Sep 22 2015 13:34:55

so fuck society that says men can do better and women can do worse. fuck that & rethink why you’re attracted to people.— Meenakshi Madhavan · Tue, Sep 22 2015 13:35:22
