Relatable Tweets About What It’s Like To Be Attracted To Men
Ever felt like you absolutely could not stand the guy that you had a crush on, but also you really really really really liked him? Have you ever been afraid to tell your friends that you're seeing a guy because you just know how hard they will disapprove of him?
As a girl who has dated way too many guys who were objectively horrible people (and borderline unsanitary), I often find myself questioning how I could possibly be attracted to these dopey creatures who have never used an iron. Here are some tragically relatable tweets about what it's like to be a woman who is into men.

This may be a joke, but it's actually not too much of an exaggeration. Forgiveness and the ability to overlook someone's flaws is one thing, but there has to be a limit, ladies.
