You have read the books, you have seen the movies, you have laughed and cried along with her mishaps and hilarities, but have you ever considered the fact that you might be more like Bridget Jones than you would like to think? She’s a beloved character with a lot going for her, but she has an equal amount of flaws too. Which ones are most relatable to you as a person? Here is why every woman is Bridget Jones and maybe more than they might like to admit!
1 Tricky Relationships
We are much more likely to relate to Bridget’s nightmarish romantic history than to same fairy tale Princess who gets whisked off at the very first attempt! We’ve been on those bad dates, we’ve been involved in those sticky love triangles, we’ve made fools of ourselves and just like Bridget, we keep on going back for more!
Frequently asked questions
2 Fashion
We can’t be Kate Moss every single day, or even every single month! We are more than familiar with the comfort of those big granny knickers, because we’ve all got a pair or two waiting to be picked up in our cupboard! Just like Bridget, we can look just as good as the next pretty lady when we want to, but that definitely isn’t something that happens every day and with no effort!
3 Food
The struggle is real! We all know that having that second burger of the week or that third glass of wine in the evening isn’t the best idea, but when you’ve had a bad day at work, or your dating life isn’t going to plan, then you go ahead and get stuck in regardless! Bridget didn’t show us the way on this one, she merely demonstrated to the world what it is like to be a woman who loves her grub!
4 Work
In just the same way as Bridget shows us, work can sometimes be an uphill struggle. You might find yourself thinking “why am I even here?”, but just like the main woman herself, you stick with it and see it through because you are a strong independent woman who won’t let silly things defeat you!
5 Friends
And finally, just like Bridget, all women have a wonderful group of besties that they can rely on to make them feel better! It sometimes feels like your group takes turns being Bridget with the others having to pick up the pieces, but as long as you’ve got someone when it’s your turn, that’s absolutely fine!
