How to Date a Pageant Girl
Do you think you can do it?
This blog is prompted by recent experiences but hopefully it rings true with my fellow queens and contestants out there. There needs to be a how-to guide for men as to what to expect at the beginning when you first meet to crowning and everything in between.
1: First time meeting- whether it’s out with friends or a blind date. There are things you should expect to see/signs one should notice about the girl at hand. And that’s depending on whether or not you have been told she does pageants. First and foremost, she is going to look very well put together. Image is EVERYTHING in the pageant world, from perfect hair and make-up to tailored clothing. This woman has spent a lot of time and effort (not forgetting money) making sure she steals the spotlight in some way or how good and/or bad. Her goal is unknown but what usual happens is she makes men stare and women become jealous or lesbians. You might be blown off your feet the first time you meet her and can’t believe she is single (there are usually reasons for this, more on that later).
Now, depending on the girl and how long she has been competing, you may not know right off the back since she has hopefully learned to tone it down (pageantry isn’t their whole life, only 2-6 months before competition). Warning signs consist of skipping the bread and pasta (if a competition is coming up), drinking tons of water and ordering fish and veggies. Now fish and veggies is a great meal, but we pageant girls can make that at home (why waste a free meal on bare bone basics?) Some girls are very forward with what they do and some are more evasive. Being a reclusive girl myself, I’ve made it a point to not even bring up the fact I may or may not have competed and are still competing at the moment, at least not on the first date. There are men out there who may see these women as trophies to showcase to their friends and not potential significant others.
Conversations at dinner may be a clue if she doesn’t tell you. What is her knowledge on politics? What’s going on around the world and especially within her city or state? Is she environmentally friendly? Does she seem to know more than the average person about the different ways to recycle? Does she have an expansive vocabulary; words not normally used in day to day conversations? Most girls if they consider themselves interview queens are very up to date with what’s going on. We scour the news websites getting different views on the situations currently going on at hand. (I personally love the read the viewer comments, those are sometimes the best.) We also try to keep our vocabulary fresh so that we do not repeat or use colloquial words often.
If any of these send flags up in your head, well congratulations you are in my opinion starting to date (hopefully :)) a well-rounded and personally awesome pageant queen.
