We all know you're average & normal, so shut up.

So.  This conversation randomly occured, so I felt like blogging about the subject! 

Me: Why do girls always have to have "I'm not your average girl." "I'm unique" "I'm not like every other girl." "I'm a different type of girl." in their about mes?
Me: Just stfu, we all know you're average & normal.
Evan: if everyone put "I'm unique" in their about message they wouldn't be unique, would they?
Me: Exactly! OMG. I'm going to write a blog & quote that!
Evan: DO IT

So, with that conversation, I was inspired to write an entire blog on the subject.  Why do girls do that?  I guess there's some guys, too.  But it's USUALLY girls.  They've all got to say something along of the lines of them being unique, not average, different, special, etc.  Oh, and they're always "not what you would have expected".  Honestly, there's hardly anyone who's truly unique anymore.  So, why say it?

Then Evan said it.  He said it right there.  "If everyone put 'I'm unique.' in their about message they wouldn't be unique, would they?"  He hit it SPOT ON.  What he said makes total sense.  It even owns the girls(/boys) that say that.  So many people put that and if so many people say it, by saying it, you're not even unique.  If you're going to say, "I'm not your average girl and I'm so unique and not what you expected.", back that shit up.  

Back it up.  Explain.  Why are you unique? And why are you not average?  "I'm not your average girl & I'm unique because I ... [____]"

P.S. "I'm __ years YOUNG." is annoying, too. (:
