In The Eyes Of A Guy

15 Reason's Why A Girl Is Considered Needy

Girls are always seen as the "needy". It occurred to me that this is a stereotype seen in all people and that the thought of a relationship is the first thought. When girls think about the answer to the question, we base our thoughts about our own life. So, I decided to ask guys and see if they had the same opinion. I simply asked the question "why do you think girls are needy?" with no follow up information. Some guys could not think of an answer, but for others the answers are as follows.


1) "They want to find the attention they need."

There is a time in life where girls feel the need to be wanted, loved and accepted. At this exact moment, you believe that this can only be accomplished by a guy. And there are some guys out there who are willing to give up their world for yours...it just takes time to find that guy.

2) "Public figures give them an image of what the perfect girl should be."

Yes we all admit that we wish we were someone famous and do something that makes us look or act just like them. Stop. Go out and be yourself (someone will fall in love with you that way a lot faster then trying to be someone who you're not).

3) "Guys are considered the ones with strength."

They are the rock we go to when we need to feel protected. We call them when we are afraid, unsure of a decision we are about to make.

4) "They have really high expectations."

Every girl expects that picture perfect relationship they have been dreaming about since they were young. Its hard to find that and it won't be easy. In fact it might not ever happen because a good relationship is one where you fight but stay together because your love is stronger than a disagreement.

5) "They are competing with other bi***es."

If you are competing with another girl for a guy, walk away. It's not worth your time or effort if he is deciding between you and another girl.

6) "They want someone they're able to depend on."

This role doesn't have to be fulfilled by a male, but it tends to be that way. You can always call them to hang out, vent about something or just ask for a hug and you know they will be there in a moments notice.

7) "In today's society there's so many unnecessary reasons to judge... they feel constant pressure to be the best."

Guys are completely okay with the fact that you aren't perfect because they aren't either. Half of the time you try to meet the expectations of others, but are you really being judged or is it just your own paranoia?

8) "Self esteem problems."

Everyone knows the feeling of being called ugly or a mean name that has brought down their self confidence. Perfect hair, eyes, body, personality.... we all want it. But not even a guy is perfect so don't look down on yourself. Imperfection is beauty. We were all created differently because the world can't handle two of us!

9) "They've been spoiled by their parents and expect that from everyone."

We all know those girls who have had everything in life handed to them and are partly jealous that we weren't raised that way. Unless you have an arranged marriage, your parents aren't going to hand you a guy.

10) "To be honest, guys have just as strong emotions as girls but have a much better ability to mask them. Which is good and bad but we tend to not really understand that holding it doesn't actually show strength."

No comment. Perfectly said.

11) "Our society has created this notion that a women needs a man."

With this answer, he followed up by then saying that it was 100% false. I completely agree. Women believe that they need a man to become successful in life, but it has been proven that a woman can be just as successful by herself.

12) "Daddy issues."

13) "I believe there is a false image of balance and strength."

Guys admit that they can be just as "needy" as girls. However, guys are also much more straightforward which can come off as strength and confidence. They might not be as strong as you think, so be open and balance them out just as much as they balance you.

14) "First impressions are based off of appearance then personality, its always been that way. No one is perfect. It's okay to be average, everyone else is."

15) "I hate the way society has created men an women. Women are just as strong as men if not stronger in my opinion coming from someone who broke down after my relationship ended."


Once I asked these questions, every answer was related to the point of a girls emotions, not based off of appearance. There were comments connected to relationships which brought out a connection to themselves. Even though girls are the ones who tend to show emotion and are "needy," we aren't the only ones. While we are seen as "needy," we are also needed.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
