6 Reasons Why He's a Waste of Time - Victoria Goodlow | Guest Week

-
We all know that time is of the essence! That’s why it is so important for us to use it on things that we value most. However, as women, we tend to not place these same convictions on the men we talk to. Why is that? It’s because he’s good looking, has a nice body, makes you laugh, and great in bed! We’re not getting any younger and a nice smile and good sex can only get you so far! How will you know he’s not the one? Check out some of the red flags that you should know when it comes to avoiding Mr. Waste your time!

You don’t have a title.

I don’t know about you, but I need to know where we stand. If a guy tells you, “we’re just having fun,” RUN!

He doesn’t know what he wants.

Any man that can’t give you a clear answer on the future of your relationship needs to be left alone.

It’s all about sex!

Are you noticing that the only time you talk to him is during “booty call” hours? Sex is great! However, that’s the glue that is holding you both together. Without it…what do you really have? You need someone who values you company, not your body.

He’s always lying.

Who doesn’t like a habitual liar? I’ve been in many relationships and my biggest pet peeve is dishonesty. I refuse to spend every waking moment trying to find out if he’s lying or not and you shouldn’t either. It’s best to not dig for things because you will always find something you don’t want to see. You’re too good for that!

He doesn’t take you on dates.

Chilling and his house watching Netflix does not count! A man that does not pursue you will not invest in you, that includes taking time out of his schedule and money out his paycheck to take you on a date.

Conversations are only done through text.

The way technology has advanced over the years, a lot of people rather text than talk on the phone. I’ve actually talked to guys who prefer to text, but it didn’t mean that I couldn’t call them. If your guy dodges all of your calls and seconds later answers through texts, he is not taking you seriously.


What are your red flags for someone who is wasting your time?

A Clockwork Orange | 100 Movies Bucket List

Next up for the bucket list was a highly anticipated first-time watch. The first time I heard of this film was back in school during an English class - we had to pick classic films to write essays on and one of my classmates picked this one. I didn't completely know what it was about, but since then it has always been in the back of my mind to watch eventually. And it didn't surprise me at all that it was on this list. When I was trying to find somewhere to watch it, I did some accidental research about it. I had no idea it was so controversial, and seeing that made me want to watch it even more. But ultimately, I ended up having quite negative feelings on the movie as a whole. For one, I'm not someone who shies away from violent movies, even when the violence is graphic. But there was something about the violence in this movie that kind of put me off. It wasn't really about the violence itself, or the way it was done, but more about the character. It's hard to foll

The Great Dictator | 100 Movies Bucket List

Next up for the bucket list was a film that I hadn't heard of. I'm familiar with Charlie Chaplin, but moreso for his silent films than for anything else, so I didn't really have any idea what this film would be about. And once I did look up the premise, it wasn't one that I was particularly excited to see. I knew that it probably wouldn't be one of my favourites, so it wasn't a surprise that I didn't love it. For a start, as a fan of some of Chaplin's other movies, this movie felt very different, which caught me a bit off guard I appreciated the satire, but it might just be that it isn't as funny for a modern audience, or maybe that it's just not my kind of humour, but a lot of it didn't work for me. It also felt way longer than it needed to be. The runtime itself wasn't a problem as it's just over 2 hours, but a lot of the scenes felt like they could have been shorter. The themes of the film were very ambitious for when it was made.

Seven Samurai | 100 Movies Bucket List

  Next up for the bucket list was another movie I'd never heard of. The premise was an interesting one, but a 2.5 hour samurai movie wasn't something that I was itching to see.  Nevertheless once I started watching it I became really engrossed in the story and characters. For a start, the acting was great. Nothing about the film felt inauthentic, the characters felt like real people and when you're watching it, you're instantly rooting for them. This is also down to the writing and direction. Every aspect of the way the film is made has been done really well. While the film wasn't one of my favourites, there's no doubt about the way it has shaped cinema. It's regarded as one of the most 'remade, reworked, referenced' films in cinema, and the basic premise shows how true that is. I feel like I've seen a good few films based loosely on this premise and it always works because it's a classic underdog story. If you've never heard of this movi

Brokeback Mountain | 100 Movies Bucket List

  Next up was one of my most highly anticipated re-watches. I probably watch this film once a year - I love it too much not to watch it, but it's sad enough that I don't need to watch it more than that. I don't remember the first time I saw the film, but I remember the effect it has always had on me. The movie is so powerful, it has so much to say, with messages that could still be applied to the world today. I can't praise either the filmmaking or the performances highly enough. You can tell that the film was made with passion and respect, that everyone involved put everything they had into telling this story in the right way. And that includes the actors. Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal were phenomenal in these roles, their chemistry was amazing and I can't imagine anyone else playing these iconic characters. This film is also one of those rare cases where a movie is better than the book it's based on. The movie is based on a short story, and the story is a g

Her | 100 Movies Bucket List

This one was a re-watch that I was really looking forward to seeing again. I first saw it around the time Joker came out and I remember really liking it, so it was one that I saved until later in the bucket list so I could have something to look forward to. But weirdly, my experience of it was completely different on this re-watch. The things about the main character that I found endearing originally put me off this time around. I didn't really like the character at all and I couldn't connect with him. I also didn't find it as profound as I remember finding it the first time. The love story didn't feel as innocent or endearing and I never felt truly invested. I don't know if it's because of how AI-heavy the world is right now, but it just felt really weird. I do like the concept, but I think the characters are where it fell down a bit for me. And that's not to say I hated the film this time. I still think it's a good film that's well-made, it just wa
