Most of us have ideals, preferences we uphold when we pick potential partners, romantic or otherwise. Some may prefer blond, some may prefer red heads, other people may choose the slim body type and others may be inclined to like those with extra pounds on them. Some of us may like obedient down to Earth folks while some people enjoy the company of those with strong personality oozing with confidence.
But in reality, we can't really choose who we are going to fall for. If that's the case then, what's the best thing to do? Reject the possibility of anything and just move on to the next thing? Well it's not like you can create your own partner right, that would be enormously hilarious, is it?
Build a B%tch
Just like this song from Bella Poarch, it ain't build a b*tch. It sends that particular message.
I first heard this song over Spotify and I thought that it was hmmmm, okay it was kinda cool, sorta catchy and a pretty decent pop song, I guess. At the time I didn't know who sang it, or what the title was, but I thought that it was a song popularized again by TikTok. And somehow someway, I guess I'm right, the artist, for starters was huge in TikTok.
I don't know, there's just that ring to its melody and lyrics that is designed to be on those TikTok trends or something, I can't really pinpoint what that was, and I still don't know know what that particular element is.
Anyway, the message of the song was simple. Dating, or relationship in general is not a build a b*tch. You don't get to pick or choose what qualities your partner will have.
Of course, technically, you can be picky and you can travel the whole world and examine every people and select somebody that closely resembles your criteria, but even then, they may have some extra qualities or quirks that you may not care for. Or they may lack something that you are looking for, either way, there is no "perfect" match.
Music Video
I was implored to watch the music video and of course I did. The theme of the video closely followed the theme of the song.
The music video shows a factory of some kind where boys are lined up to create their "perfect" ideal mate. They will enter a bunch of parameters and the factory will create a "girl" that possesses those exact qualities.
One of the created girls, (Bella) was deemed defective for some reason and she was pushed to the pits of hell. But as she was singing, she survived and started a rebellion against the whole system.
It was okay, and a bit creepy at times, I don't know, I really don't a thing for detached talking, or in this case singing heads.
If you haven't seen the video yet, here it is.
Epilogue
Although the idea behind the song and the video is simple, it tackles a really humungous decision we as human beings will have or had in our lifetimes, who to end up with.
We can't end up with a person with the exact qualities that we seek from someone. They may have more qualities, or fewer traits than we bargain, but when love comes knocking on your door, acceptance usually is the key.
We accept whatever qualities our loved one may have, quirks, nuances and all. We shall love them for the good things and all the bad things they possess, that's just it, simple as that.
The perfect mate does not exist, a perfect couple does, because together, you make that a possibility.
Hey you!
