Ladies, why have we fallen so far down? I say we because we are in this together -- we are all for one and one for all, right? Over the past several days, I’ve heard different opinions and thoughts from the male perspective of women. Let me tell you, it was disappointing -- but also very incorrect. Ladies, men already have a big head. Why give them a bigger head by being their go-to person? What I mean by this is that we have got to stop being the New Generation, and this goes for both men and women.

We are strong, powerful women. We don’t need someone to tell us that we’re beautiful. We don’t need someone buying us expensive things. We can do it on our own!

Men, the same goes to you -- stop being egotistical jerks and be sensitive and think before you act/talk.

Get your face out of the LED screen, and go out and do something. While I’ve had my share of laughs while hearing men and women share their thoughts, these are some of the things that we all know but don’t want to accept. Men, women, start taking notes!

1. “She’s crazy jealous.”

Although this was one of my favorites, it isn’t the best one. Ladies, I agree, jealousy to a point is fine. Because we’re human, it’s the way we react to different situations. But how much is too much? If you’re thinking of an evil plot to stalk every girl he talks to, or if you’re coming up with different things he is doing behind your back -- like cheating on you -- then yes. Way too much. Isn’t it obvious? You don’t have trust. You don’t trust him enough to simply let go of the fact that he is going to interact with different women. Simply have a nice conversation with your man/partner and work it out. If you can’t come to an agreement and this bothers you way too much, let him go and go on to the next one. You do not need the extra worry lines on your face -- it isn’t worth it.

2. “She is very indecisive.”

Well, I am guilty of this and know a lot of women that can actually say “yes, totally me.” This one goes to the men: Yes, we are indecisive. We do not know what we actually want to go eat or feel like eating. We don’t know what movie we want to watch, or what to wear. Please, get your big-boy pants on and decide for us, have something planned, be romantic, be a man. Even though there are a lot of women that can decide for themselves, a little planning from men can go a long way.

3. “Netflix and Chill?”

Men, there are other things out there than just the physical interaction. It’s called talking. Maybe throw in there a “how was your day” or a romantic date that ends with you talking about your future and your goals. Who knows, you might even have some things in common. Not all dates cost an arm and a leg -- we don’t care about how much you spend but how much thought you put into it. Be romantic, be spontaneous, be someone you’d like your daughter to be with one day. In the future, though; don’t have babies until you’re ready.

4. “She’s high maintenance.”

Ladies … why? Do not be “one of those.” You are not high maintenance. If you want something expensive, buy it yourself. Do not ask your partner to buy it for you. No -- just no. Men, only because sometimes we are emotionally unstable and need a little extra lovin’ from all of you, that does not make us high maintenance. That makes us women! The actual definition of “high maintenance” is requiring: when you are way too dramatic, way too needy, constantly wanting attention, and never comfortable with anything, always wanting more. Ladies, I’m not telling you to settle, but it’s the little things that count. Men, don’t classify us as high maintenance when we’re having a bad day or, you know, when we are on our menses.

5. “Are you on your period?”

This one is the best one. Men, please, for the love of God. Do not assume that only because we are having a bad day we are automatically on our periods. That question makes us so mad that our reaction will lead you to think that we are in fact on our periods when we are not. If you aren’t on that level where you tell your significant other when you’re actually on your period, then this is even more frustrating. But if you are, and you still ask that question even though you know when she gets it -- why you gotta do this? Maybe she’s having a bad day, or maybe she’s tired or hungry. Or all of the above. Give her your ear, lend her your pillow, and please give her a damn chocolate.

Regardless, men, women, this needs to stop. We are not the New Generation -- we are better than that! Don’t let society tell you how you should act or how you should treat your partner. Stop looking up different things on the Internet on the perfect date and wishing he will plan it. Tell him. Men can barely read their own minds, what makes you think they can read yours? No offense. Don’t have high expectations -- don’t have expectations at all. Whatever happens happens. Go with the flow. But never stop being a gentleman: Get your head out of the gutter. And never stop being a lady: make them work for it. We’re better than this, and you know it.
