I am so glad that someone else has noticed the crazy-girl-who-always-has-a-boyfriend phenomenon. It has been oft discussed of late and is undeniable.
So Kaitlin and I were having our typical “OMG why are boys just so freaking DUMB” talk on gchat today and I shared with her the amazing theory that Helen came up in college – the Reverse Bell Curve.
Basically, the way the Reverse Bell Curve works is this. The more normal and datable you are, the lower your chances of actually finding someone. This is apparent to most people as the several amazing friends that we all have that are so cute, nice, successful, outgoing etc. and for some reason are SINGLE. Yet the crazy friend that’s a psycho girlfriend somehow is dating people every two seconds. The rule states that the really weird, strange, crazy people all flock to each other in high numbers (on the left i.e. Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag) and the model-pretty, out of everyone’s league, totally PERFECT people flock to each other as well (on the right i.e. Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal). And the normal ones are left dowwwwwn in the middle.
Of course, we recognize there are exceptions. There are the totally weird people that met prince charming, the so called “perfect guy” that dates the super ordinary girl and all of our wonderful, normal, great friends with their wonderful, normal, great boyfriends/girlfriends who we would put in the “normal” category. But when you’re single, and wondering WHY THE FUCK someone as cool/smart/nice/normal as you can’t get a date, the Reverse Bell Curve theory can help.
