102 Things Guys Need To Know About Girls
Ohh, this list. I just love lists like this. First of all, for the love of god quit reducing all girls to having the kind of mindset that produces this kind of thought: “74. If you don’t call us, then we will spend hours thinking about why you never called, and we will waste a lot of time thinking about it, eventually coming to the conclusion that we don’t like you anymore.” What?!
Second, most of these lists end up coming off really condescendingly to guys. Everything they do in this damn list just makes them ~*soooo adorable!*~ or sexy. Also, “88. It’s adorable when a best guy friend who a girl has thought about liking confesses he likes her.” What? I was in this situation with Nik, how is it “adorable” to have them confess that they like you? “Aww, you’re admitting your genuine feelings for me! How adowable! I could just eat you right up, you’re so cute!”
Lastly, please tell me I’m not the only one who notices the various contradictions. “60. Don’t ONLY tell us what we want to hear. We HATE that.” “80. Ask us about how we’re doing once in a while, and at least pretend to be interested.” Uh, ladies, I think faking interest is sort of the same as telling us what we want to hear. MAYBE. *explodes* :’(
Yeah. A lot of these are contradictory. And even demeaning to women. (ie: “13. Girls are fragile. Even if you’re play fighting/wrestling, be very gentle. Let her win once in a while.”
Psh. Ok, your boyfriend is probably stonger than you, let’s be honest but “Girls are fragile” is such a bullshit remark. I’ve seen Katie and Nik playfight many times and she always kicks his ass. And let me tell you, he is NOT letting her win by any stretch of the imagination.
Also, “70. As surprising as it may be, while guys might actually look at personality, the first thing girls look at tends to be looks. We’re not going to see you and think, ‘I wonder what his personality is like!’ Terrible, but true.”
Is that implying that men look at personality and women look for looks? WTF? Let’s be honest, we’re all shallow bastards, each and every one of us.
On the other hand, I strongly agree with the following;
6. Every girl should eventually get three things from her boyfriend — a stuffed animal, one of his sweatshirts or hoodie’s, and a really pretty piece of jewelry. (Karim, you’re 0 for 3 on this one buddy.)
22. No matter what you say, your ex-girlfriend is a hoe. Don’t bother trying to convince us otherwise, that is a bad idea.
(Katie will probably argue with me on this one, but I’m a jealous bastard so it rings quite true for me.)
49. It’s cheating as soon as you’re doing something with her that you wouldn’t want me to see, hear, read…
(Unless you’re planning a surprise party!)
