Why I Have Lost Faith In Finding A Guy
1. Guys are cowards. They don’t stand up for any injustices. Women, as it has been statistically proven, are more likely to stop a public display of domestic abuse. Women. Good work, guys.
2. I don’t do friends with benefits. Many guys do, apparently.
3. Most guys are easily seduced and have very little (if any) self-control. Guess what? I’m not going to be the strong one in the relationship. I’m just not.
4. Guys are embarassed to be passionate.
5. Guys lack motivation to be better.
6. Guys choose to be the mysterious ones, which only ends up making them seem gay. Girls are supposed to be mysterious.
7. Guys are too afraid to do anything forward.
8. Guys conciously and subconciously objectify women.
9. Most guys aren’t virgins. I know it’s harsh, but I won’t marry a guy who’s not a virgin. If I’m saving myself, so is he. If I’m waiting for him, he better wait for me.
10. I only like clean-cut guys. And it’s becoming increasingly hard to find guys who don’t have tattoos or piercings.
11. Many guys are apathetic and/or ignorant about political issues.
12. Many guys are apathetic and/or ignorant about their future finances. I am probably the only person my age I know who has investments. And I’m not even a guy who plans on supporting a family.
13. I like skaters. Most guys are posers.
14. Most guys have little or no patience for children. Get over yourself.
15. Guys care too much about what they look like. Honestly, we CAN tell when you’re trying really hard, and we don’t like it.
16. Guys always give us the silent treatment, but always talk about us having PMS.
17. Guys swear too much. Whatever happened to watching your language in front of ladies?
18. Guys like girls who dress up a lot. I don’t dress up unless someone has died.
Also- guys only hold doors open for hot girls. At the mall, a girl in a skirt was walking in front of me, and the guy held the door open for her, then let himself in and it closed on me.
Once again, get over yourself.
19. Guys who claim to be Christians have a very funny way of showing it.
20. Thanks to pornography, guys have unrealistic expectations.
21. Guys, as customers, don’t know how to negotiate.
22. Guys can’t fix things in their cars or houses. Where were you when your dad was teaching you basic sink-tightening and tire changing?
23. Guys don’t take initiative in planning anything.
24. Guys are different people when they’re around “their boys.”
25. Guys won’t argue for their beliefs.
26. Guys play way too many video games. I’m really never going to think guitar hero is cool. I’m not.
27. Guys have disgusting table manners. When did it become okay to blow your nose at dinner? When? Didn’t you get sent to time-out when you did that as a kid?
28. Guys grow nasty mountain man beards, then recoil in fear at our stubbley legs. Get over yourselves.
29. Guys think baby talk is cute. It isn’t. It makes us think you’re gay.
30. Guys beat around the bush when confronting a conflict. I would much rather a guy tell me- “you’re being selfish and rude and you need to stop.” I would love to hear a straightforward demand like that.
31. Guys are disrespectful to those in authority. Seriously, it doesn’t make you cool to talk when the teacher is talking. It only levels your maturity with that of a 7th grader.
32. Guys never say “yes sir” or “yes ma’am” anymore.
33. Guys think that since we’re adults, they don’t have to get us home at a reasonable hour after a date. I promise that no matter how long we’re out, you’re not getting any action. Let me get home in time for Jay Leno. Please.
34. Guys are too hesitant to get into a fight. Honestly? Peace is overrated. If a guy punches me in a mosh pit, take him down.
35. Um, verbal skill deficiency anyone? I won’t go out with you if you ask me via text.
While some of these are really true I disagree with a lot of them. I’m sure my standards are just different. I do like it when guys take charge and are chivalrous, but I also want them to keep in mind that I am a very strong minded person and I dont need them to fight all my battles. I can take care of myself, but it’s really endearing when you make an effort to help.
Also I’ve found a lot of passionate, well informed, politically active, respectable young men. You just have to stumble upon them. No matter where you look, you’ll always look in the wrong places. They just show up, and surprise you. Because they’re perfect.
As far as everything else, I’m a girl who has a potty mouth, loves to make jokes about women being inferior (thanks to Dano and the fact that I don’t believe it; I just have a sense of humor), I love tattoos…I think they’re interesting and they tell stories, and I cant go a day without Guitar Hero (well I can but it’s a shitty day)
I haven’t lost faith in guys, and I have a really good reason why. I know there’s wonderful guys out there, and I know there’s one for me, it’s just all in due time. I feel no need to rush. I’m still in love with love and I always will be.
I just wish everyone else wouldn’t give up so easily.
xoxo
