Geographically Undesirable

I first heard of the term “geographically undesirable” from my boss, who actually claims that he and his friends coined the phrase some five to eight years ago. Riiiiight. I’m not saying he’s lying or what, but for all we know, it could’ve been La Toya Jackson or Abby Viduya who came up with that term.

Anyway.

What does it mean exactly? According to Urban Dictionary (excuse the fact that I get most of my info from UD and Encyclopediaramatica), a geographically undesirable person is “someone who you would like to date, but the fact that they live so darn far away is a problem”.

Sheesh, I never thought I’d write about this but… someone had finally used that term on me. In my face. And I was pwned.

It’s common knowledge that I live far away. I’m technically from Novaliches but my house is about 3-5 minutes from SM Fairview. Yes, stalkers. I had just given you ammunition. Growing up, I only had to walk to school so it never really dawned on me that we live in the “suburbs” lol until I went to college. And because I don’t have a car, I spend about 3 hours commuting to and from work every single fucking day. If I wanted to take a cab from say, Megamall, the fare would be about Php 230-250.

So yes, sir. I am very much aware that I live far from civilization. And thank you for reminding me that the fact that I’m “geographically undesirable” is one of the many factors why I remain single. Appreciate that.

If you think about it, really, it’s kind of funny.

Second dates rarely happen once they guy has driven me home and I’d really like to believe, it’s because of the hiking gas prices though some say, too, that I’m either too intimidating or too loud or too whatever but that’s for another entry. No bursting of bubbles, please.

There are those who gladly drive (or take a cab with) me home and seriously, you have no idea how much I appreciate them, especially if they live far, too AND if they still ask me out regardless. I’ve also experienced taking a cab home by myself after I’ve been asked out, especially when the guy finds out during our conversation that I live 20 minutes away from Meycauyan. Hey, it’s okay, yo! I grew up listening to Destiny’s Child. I’m an independent woman, to the left to the left.

At the end of the day, however, I believe that if you really reeeaaalllyyy like someone, distance shouldn’t be an issue, as age and looks shouldn’t be, too. But whatever, we have our preferences and gas is in fact, really expensive. ALSO. Just in case you may think I’m being desperate again, blogging about the fact that I don’t get asked out enough, well, you can shut your face now. I’m just sharing my thoughts on this.

ps: I LOVE THE SHOW GLEE.
