This is the most obvious difference I've seen between the boys and the girlies. Girls are self-righteous and back-stabbing, while guys have the tendency to be a little more honest. Girls have taught themselves to justify everything that comes out of their mouths...while we're straight-faced lying to you, we're thinking of how to back up whatever we just said. I know, I know, it's pathetic, but that's just the way it is. So the justification of the lie would be this...to girls, this is all a big popularity contest, and if you have to lie to be thought of differently, then that's what they do. The contest involves everything: who has the most friends, who comes home the least, who drops out of school the fastest to pursue their telemarketing dream careers, and who winds up with the most diseases. In this big contest, so far I've won: girl most likely to get her ass kicked by a gang of lipstick lesbians. I got a letter in regards to a past article I did. The letter basically defended guys and said that girls are the root of all that's evil. He thought that I was blaming the fault of relationship mistakes/problems on guys...it's safe to say that my article could have been, and officially has been misunderstood. At that point I wasn't pointing blame at either the boys or the girlies, I just said that as a girl, it's hard to determine the boy who's being honest, who's lying through his teeth, and who has genital warts. Anyway, now that it's been brought up, it's safe to say that I tend to be more partial to boys. I'm not talking about who I'm physically attracted to, I'm saying as friends, it just seems like boys are more capable of being decent than girls are. The way girls are, if we're friends with someone who looks tired or pissed, we tell them that they "look cute". I don't understand the logic in that...maybe there isn't any logic involved in that kind of a process. In a way I can understand the need to try to make someone feel better, but you'd think that we'd try to make it less obvious. (you'd think that, and you'd be wrong). Boys solve this by not mentioning it. You gotta respect that. Just ignore the problem and eventually it'll go away. I'm all for that theory. Ryan's article requests always come up when I'm in the middle of another little semi-personal, semi-public issue. The past few months I've been sticking to the same subjects, but as soon as I'm done with all this, I swear I'll move on to a new idea. But for now, being that this is what I'm going through, this is what you have to go through (patience). Just for the record, I'm not saying that all the ladies and all the boys fit into the lovely little stereotype that I clarified earlier...but it's pretty damn close.
