How To Be a Manic Fairy Pixie (or Not)

Note that most of the Manic Pixies end up with the Millionaires.  Or at least the "cute" ones.

Annie Hall.
Audrey Hepburn/Golightly
Marilyn Monroe

It takes a little of your dignity, but make sure to play along with the GAME.  Boys/Men like to HELP you.  They like mansplaining, they like SOLVING your problems (Bunting or Punting?)

Whatever you do, DO NOT show them your list of things that you believe in:

1) I want to be appreciated for my creativity.  Picking up a piece of trash from the street and doing something creative with it, like turning it into a piece of art.  Whether it is successful or not.

2) I want to be appreciated for TRYING.  Not patted on the head, just hugged when I fail. And gently encouraged to submit.  Again.

Etc.
