"If only all our dreams were coming true
Maybe there'd be some time for me and you"
Maybe there'd be some time for me and you"
-"Lota" by Angel Olsen
A "cool girl" is --well-- someone who is stable, and is fulfilled with self-love.
I mean, who made this term/symbol, "cool girl" and why did they ?
Well, I would have wanted to have made a simple term like this tie with a significance meaning.
but
I didn't.
A Medium writer, Kris Gage, made this whole concept up in an excerpt entitled "Your issue with cool girls is your own insecurity".
Not the term itself because obviously "cool", and "girl" have been in the english dictionary since the beginning of dawn or even when the king size lizards were walking around on this earth.
The concept of "cool girl" is referred to the unhighlighted character in most T.V shows, and movies.
The dynamic character which strays from the codependency of others for emotional, and physical support; the bad ass bitch.
In which Gage uses various examples such as "Robyn from How I Met Your Mother, Charlie from High Fidelity, Miranda Priestly from The Devil Wears Prada, or Mattie Ross from True Grit."
Gage illustrates the difference of the dynamic character to the typical emotional leech character by depicting a grid with different characteristics of the "cool girl", and "lame girl".
The green box, shown in the grid above, is the characteristic held by the "cool girl"--
you strive to be in this square.
According to Gage, the "Pseudo cool girl" is the "no no box", you do not want to pretend to be "cool" or "not give a fuck", when this person would most likely being sensitive to crowd pleasing.
An example of the "Pseudo cool girl" is Amy Dunne from Gone Girl, funny right?
The "cool girl" character of Gone Girl, or said to be "cool girl" from the description given to her as Gage quotes directly from the movie itself:
“Being the Cool Girl means I am a hot, brilliant, funny woman who adores football, poker, dirty jokes, and burping, who plays video games, drinks cheap beer, loves threesomes and anal sex, and jams hot dogs and hamburgers into her mouth like she’s hosting the world’s biggest culinary gang bang while somehow maintaining a size 2, because Cool Girls are above all hot. Hot and understanding. Cool Girls never get angry; they only smile in a chagrined, loving manner and let their men do whatever they want.”
All just a phony mess.
The "cool girl" is independent, and doesn't strive for love like Amy Dunne did in the movie.
They, the "cool girl", don't have time for such "bullshit", and want to instead invest their time in selfish needs; the good type of selfish needs.
I, personally, want to be this "cool girl" but still have to pass the obstacles listed as the Pseudo cool girl characteristics.
Eventually, i'll blossom into this incredible title, and become a sick ass person.
Maybe even show up in a TV show or movie, and be entitled as the underestimated character with a dynamic kick.
