Lisa and Nelson?


Ok so I was watching the Simpsons episode where Lisa falls in love with Nelson and I could not help but use it as the topic of my first real blog post. Is it true good girls always fall for/are attracted to bad boys?

What is it about them that we can't resist? On the show Lisa clearly was not physically attracted to him (She said he was hideous looking) . In a conversation with her mother she blatantly pointed out that he was not the one for her and that they were polar opposites. She realized that he would never fit into her world and basically it was a lost cause because he would never change to fit in. Marge at this point reprimands her for giving up and says that there is no man that a woman can't change.

Hmm. So basically we seek out lower, pathetic, bad-boy type life forms in hopes of changing them? Is this really possible? Since when do we have it all together to even entertain such an idea? Is it possible to change a guy? Is a man a changed guy?

Hey babe!! You're right. Bad boys will eventually will find themselves and change for the better but the idea must come from them.
