9 Benefits Of Dating A Sarcastic Woman
Why in the world would anybody in their right mind want to get involved with a sarcastic woman? I mean, dating a sarcastic woman would be like choosing to spend time with someone who was highly intelligent, sexy as hell, hilarious, and had an unique point of view. Who wants that? Run the other way if you come into contact with someone sarcastic as you don't know if sarcasm is some kind of verbal disease that not only is contagious, but prone to painful outbursts.
Sarcastic women or men aren't for everybody, and many people don't understand the sarcastic's often dry and/or biting sense of humor. Many people can take a sarcastic person's barbed comments way too personally and manage to feel insulted and hurt at the same time. They can't see past the sarcasm to the sensitivity, caring, and intelligence underneath.
The appreciation of sarcasm and sarcastic people can be developed or something that you're born with. My father could be sarcastic, so it's a trait that I inherited. I also saw what sarcasm can do, like elicit big laughs and I wanted in. I worked at my sarcasm, and had many sarcastic friends — sarcasm is definitely something that binds people together.
Many people aren't fluent in sarcasm and it can scare them. Since sarcasm is often misinterpreted as mean, hostile, or hateful,it may surprise you to learn that there are many benefits to dating a sarcastic woman.
1. You'll Get Smarter
If I said to my boyfriend, "No, you absolutely should wear that shirt to the wedding just in case there's a shortage of waiters and you need to fill in." He'd have to use his brain power to figure out that I meant, "Under no circumstances wear that shirt." Deciphering sarcasm takes a certain amount of smarts and knowing how to respond without anyone getting upset, also takes brain power.
2. You'll Get A Tougher Skin
By dating a sarcastic person, you'll get a tougher skin, and this is going to help you in life. For every promotion you don't get or every comment some mean internet troll says, you'll be able to laugh it off and roll on with your bad sarcastic-handling self.
3. You'll Get Funnier
By dating a sarcastic person, you'll become funnier almost by osmosis. You know those immersion programs, where armed with only some high school French, you go off to live with a family in France? They don't speak any English, and face it, you don't really speak any French, but six weeks later you are bonjouring and ordering a nine course meal all in French. With the sarcasm immersion dating program, you learn how to say "Nice shoes, did your grandma buy those for you?" and actually mean, "Jeez, you're hot."
4. Your Creativity Will Go Off The Charts
Sarcasm is a brain workout, and the more your brain works, the more creative it gets. By figuring out that the sarcastic thing your almost- significant other just said was funny, not a declaration of war, you are problem solving, thinking outside the box, and seeing things from an alternative point of view.
