I've recently been reading a guy's blog who I went to high school with and while I enjoy what I've read so far, I'm a little up in arms with his most recent post. I'm alarmed to realize that there are some serious misconceptions about what girls love. Reading this list, I realize that there is a population of girls out there who probably seem like a lot of fun, but are either a)immature or b)lacking serious depth. My plea to all you gentlemen: don't settle for these girls. There are real girls out there who are beautiful and possess all the characteristics you desire. (insert corny music with the "The more you know" slogan from NBC)
So in a response to the aforementioned list of what girls love, here are my edits:
What Girls Love:
1. Cooking with other people. (so much better than by ourselves) (I hate fruit pizza by the way. Unless you consider pepperoni and pineapple pizza "fruit pizza" then i love it)
3. Good friends who won't steal our boyfriends, talk behind our backs, and will tell us when we really don't look good in that dress.
4. I got nothing here. This girl likes to make fun of those girls who throw up the peace sign. World peace would be okay. But sometimes you gotta fight...for your right...okay, i won't go there.
5. Women being equally acknowledged as men for their abilities, no matter what job they hold.
6. Using the word "creepy" or "creepster" to describe men who make us feel uncomfortable for various reasons. Sometimes we use this word to describe unattractive men who are aggressive, but we don't want to sound shallow, so we say "creepy". (yes, women can be shallow) but it can equally be applied to a good looking guy who makes unwanted advances, like trying to give us a neck rub when we barely know them.
7. We like confident guys. And confident does not always mean aggressive. We like guys who are confident in just being themselves.
8. We like to eat what we want and still be thin. Because guys like thin girls. If it didn't matter what size I was, I'd eat my cereal with sugar instead of Splenda every morning and I'd get a full, regular coke at the hospital cafeteria instead of 1/3 diet coke and 2/3 coca cola classic. (I'm working my way to 1/2 and 1/2, but it's tough. Diet coke makes me want to gag.)
9. Turkey subway sandwiches.
10. Chi Hair straighteners. If you all could only see the awkward, Chia-pet-type hair I had in my 3rd through 10th grade photos you would understand why all girls love a Chi. For girls with curly/wavy hair, it lets them have a straight option without it taking hours to blow dry straight. For girls who already have straight hair, the Chi saves them equal amount of time. So they can do a crappy job blow drying the hair straight and use the Chi to finish it off.
11. We girls like to look "cute" in the following situations: a)if there's a possibility of a guy being around b)if there's a possibility of a picture being taken of us that will end up on the internet c) if we know we are going to look stupid doing something, because we have no talent in that area, then definitely yes, we might as well look cute AND stupid. Example 1: Me going out to play a game of tennis with a few friends, one being a guy I may or may not be interested in. I would want to wear "cute tennis clothes" (this assuming I have vasts amount of money to spend on something I'll hardly wear) for the following reasons: a) there's a guy around b) friends getting together usually equals pictures because of reason #19 c) While I have fun playing, I suck at tennis. So I would definitely want to look cute.
12. Uh, still don't know what "LBPBs" are, so this will have to wait and get edited later.
13. Girls are physical beings as well. I can't support the "baseball pants" claim, but I can't deny that there are girls out there who love to see Jon Lester on the mound in his baseball pants.
14. impromptu dance parties/karaoke parties just means we like impromptu fun!
15. Ray LaMontagne. hell yeah! (Mom, that hell is for you! :)
16. "guys with indentations in the hips due to muscular definition in torso" Again, women are physical beings as well. Just like I'm sure most guys like to see cleavage and a tight a double s on a girl, most girls do like that section of a guy. That doesn't mean that it's a prerequisite for marriage.
17. I love Boston. period.
18. Jim from the office. What a cute, FUNNY, confident yet humble guy. (And I'm guessing he probably doesn't have indentations of his hips)
19. Taking pictures of ourselves with friends.
20. Don't really know BeefyJon anymore, but I remember in high school he was well-liked. Why? He was funny and smart. And generally nice to everyone. He did tell me I was "the most sarcastic girl in school" and I don't think he meant it in a nice way, but 8 years later I admit, I was probably a bit of a smart ass, who was always ready to voice her opinion. I've learned a little bit since high school, (Praise the Lord!) I'm much better at keeping my mouth shut. Now, I just keep most of the sarcasm in my head! (and on my blog page)
I love this response blogging! It means, I don't have to come up with original posts all the time. keep your questions coming boys.
