Introduction

Hey, it's Basil. You may know me from my other blogs such as "Nonsense That Makes Sense" and "101 Ways to be Popular"

Oh, who am I kidding...barely anyone reads those blogs...
But if someone's reading this, then that's a great sign. Go and look at those blogs. Now. Along with www.degrassipwns.blogspot.com.

Back to this blog...
So, the title looks a little...odd...but I'm doing this out of sheer observation inspired by a journal entry I made. I'm sure this isn't exactly the most original blog concept, but I find this topic pretty interesting.

What do published authors define boyfriends to be like, as shown in their books?

Honestly, none of the boyfriends I've ever seen in any of the books I've read seem to be real. I mean, in the end, all the guys end up being perfect, with very few flaws or a girlfriend who's completely willing to get over those flaws. They all live happily ever after and yadda yadda yadda.

I've created this blog to analyze each boyfriend many authors have created throughout the numerous books I've read. Whether they be popular books it seems everyone on the face of the planet has read, or books that seemingly nobody has heard of, I will find the traits of the amazing guys in these books and show their realistic and unrealistic traits that can show everyone that love like this just doesn't happen as often as it seems.

You may be asking yourself, "What the heck did any of that mean?"
Well, here's my primary example, and reason for writing this seemingly endless introduction.

Imagine your first relationship. Or your second. Or your third. Or any relationship you've ever been in. How many times has a boy shown up throwing rocks at your bedroom window, begging for a chance to talk or to ask for your forgiveness? How many times has a boy you met on vacation changed his college career track just to be with you? How many times have you run away from home, attempted suicide and cut all your hair off, only to find that your ex-boyfriend still loved you and wanted you back? Never? No surprise there.

The fact that these books are basically convincing my brain these guys will eventually show up in my life is just plain frustrating, and I'd like to vent this out. Through this blog. Go ahead, don't read it you imaginary readers, but if you see a title you recognize or a title you don't that seems good, go ahead and click and read my wonderful rants. Thanks for your time, since this intro was pretty boring and long.
