6 Things Men Will Literally Never Get
One of my guy friends shared it, and I kind of have mixed feelings about that because now I feel the urge to write a rebuttal. For the sake of all women and men out there.
Let's go through the points in the same order, shall we?
1. Drinks at the club
The author of this pretty much says 'thanks for the free booze, but you're not getting any (read: sex), no matter how much free booze you give me'. Sure, fair enough. No one should expect that if they give you a drink it's a instant one-way ticket to Panties-land. But, on that same note, accepting one drink from someone hitting on you is polite (less you really just don't want to be bothered). But, I draw the line at using someone for free booze. Besides, lady who thinks all guys should already know this stuff because of movies and family and the internet (blah blah blah), you cannot tell me you don't know what they're trying to do. They want you in a nasty, do it in the bathroom kind of way. Don't be so naive and disrespectful.
2. When we say we need space
No one here majored in mind reading. Be honest with the person you are in a relationship with. Because if you can't be honest, then what the hell are you doing in a relationship? When I say I need space, that usually means "I don't want to say something I'll regret. And this situation is pissing me off. And hurting my head. Leave me alone while I organise my brain." Life isn't a quick-fix rom-com, and no one should have to "fight" for you everyday, let alone every week or month. Nobody has time for that, and it's exhausting. Besides, your beau probably needs some space of his own if you're anywhere near as high-maintenance as you sound.
3. We don't over-think
Yes. Yes we do. Point in case: your article and mine.
And it's not a bad thing- unless you focus on the negative and constantly bother your significant other with the millions of thoughts that run through your head every moment. I suggest taking up creative writing, or journaling. It's constructive.
4. We already know the truth
No. You think you already know the truth. But we just discussed how we woman (not exclusive) are prone to over-thinking. We are also prone to having faux arguments in our heads in preparation for the real deal; even though we know deep down that this argument won't go like we thought (if it even happens at all). Did no one tell you that when you assume you are making an ass-out-of-you-and-me?
5. When we say we're fine, we're NOT
This makes me laugh and roll my eyes at the SAME TIME. Yes, 'fine' has become that word in arguments that girls use when they're not fine. But you know what? Just like the 'I need space' BS, no one can read your mind. If you're not fine, say: "I'm not fine." Really that simple.
I'm personally NOT okay with a guy bugging me a bazillion times to see if I'm okay. If I'm not okay and I'm being passive aggressive about it, don't worry, I'll get around to letting you know what's up. Right now, I'm trying to figure out 1) What exactly is wrong. 2) How do I convey what I'm feeling in words. 3) What is it that I want the solution to be. Maybe some other things too, but that's the gist of it. But if you keep bothering me about it, then I'm only going to get annoyed with you on top of whatever else it is that's already bothering me.
6. Fantasies
I think I threw up a little bit.
No, no, no, no, no, no, seriously NO. Do not, please, reference romance movies when asking guys to understand the (get ready for sarcasm) oh so complex mind and life of the female. First of all, they probably didn't see the movie; and if they did, they probably weren't paying attention because they were forced to see it by some girl. Second, if you idealise men by what you see in movies, then you're only setting yourself up for disappointment. Plus, you're being just as bad as men who idealise woman for the way they see them in movies.
So yea. Got that out of my system. Here's a picture of the phone case I made.
