Recently, Total Frat Move posted an article, "50 Ways To Be The Perfect College Girlfriend," so I wrote about how I could be the worst possible college girlfriend. In college, you are open to endless possibilities that start with how willing you are to step out of your comfort zone...or mold into a zone. If you want to be a perfect and wonderful college girlfriend, make sure that these 25 things are avoided at all costs. If you want to get out of the friend zone and into the girlfriend territory, make sure you are steering clear of the things listed below.
1. Be older than your boyfriend
Who wants to date a girl who is older than them? They need to be young and naive so their boyfriend doesn't lose his man-card. Remember, you're supposed to be youthful not only your face and body.
2. Find alcohol nasty
Alcohol is the fuel that drives college students on weekends. If you don't like the smell/taste of alcohol or find underage drinking wrong, you're not going to make a very good college girlfriend.
3. Get a little too drunk
Last Friday you may have taken one too many shots and your friends took you home before things got too out of hand. You won't find a boyfriend who is willing to do this. Hold your own liquor and don't drink too much; it's un-ladylike
4. Have love handles
If you have love handles there is no way anybody will find you attractive in college! Get in the gym and burn off the calories you drank in Natty Light at last week's "darty". As well as love handles, stretch marks also make the no-date list.
5. Choose friends your boyfriend doesn't like
Only have friends that your boyfriend approves of. Remember, he is your number one priority. If the girl in your biology class who you find funny annoys your boyfriend or isn't seen as attractive to his friends, then kiss your new-found friendship goodbye. Remember, no guy wants to deal with this girls clingy BFF.
6. Dislike sports
Do you watch football but couldn't run a play to save your life? Is golf absolutely boring to you? Can't tell the difference between a college team and a professional? It's going to be impossible to please a guy in college then, nerd.
7. Be too kind
While ladies are supposed to be kind are gentle, you must not too kind or you could actually be flirting! Treat only your boyfriend with kindness, as well in moderation towards his friends. But also keep your RBF out of sight.
8. Only have one real ID
Ladies, is the only ID in your Coach wallet the one with your embarrassing picture from when you were 16 in it? Get yourself a fake ID ASAP if you want to get a boyfriend in college.
9. Don't be a sorority member
Join a sorority, or else. You better be a devoted reader of Total Sorority Move, wear your letters obnoxiously, and never refuse matching Vineyard Vines outfits.
10. Go to your Monday 8 am in sweatpants
What! Are you seriously going to your 300 level Psychology course in sweatpants and a messy bun? You can't be seen in public looking like this and should feel ashamed, heaven knows your boyfriend will be.
11. Take your prescribed medicine
Do you have a condition that requires you to take medicine that could potentially be harmful if taken irresponsibly? Weigh your two options, sell that precious pill to your boyfriend and his bros, or hit the highway. You know what is worse than a girl who doesn't put out? a girl who won't sell her Adderall.
12. Refuse to cancel all plans to heal your hungover boyfriend
If you aren't going to wake up early and make breakfast for your boyfriend, that is understandable. You may have other commitments. However, if he is hungover, you need to be at his side and catering to his every whim because he shotgunned a beer too many.
13. ...and all his friends too
If you don't carry the love and attention to all his brothers and friends, you are a total bitch. You're supposed to mother every person with a hangover because that is what perfect college girlfriends do. You can't be a mom, but you must perform this motherly duty.
14. Be passionate about your music taste
Do you love to sing at the top of your lungs to 90s R&B? Who doesn't, right? Your boyfriend. If the next time during a car ride he glares at you when you get down to TLC, or snarls at the sight of them on your playlist, it's time to download some new music.
15. Have a mother that isn't cougar material
If your mom is a typical soccer mom, be prepared to hide her from your lover. If your mom's looks don't make you feel self-conscious, then she must not be too attractive. And all guys know that their girlfriend is potentially just a younger version of their mother.
16. Be open about your feelings
Do you finally feel like it's time? Is the moment right to let him know you want to take things a step further? Wrong. Guys don't want to hear about your psychopathic feelings! Remember, your feelings are not important. Your (sexual and submissive) actions are.
17. Tell the truth about the number of sexual partners you have had
None? 5? 10? Your body count number defines you; It isn't anything you need to tell the truth about. If your boyfriend tells you a very large number, you can not get upset because it is his choice. But your real number must never be revealed.
18. Refuse to give a blowjob on command
Sexual favors are not favors when you are in a relationship. They are requirements. If your boyfriend asks for a blowjob, consider yourself one step behind him and start stepping up your game.
19. Don't take birth control, because "everyone hates abortions."
Don't make your boyfriend wear a condom, that is just selfish! Get on the pill, shot, IUD, whatever. Abortions are wrong and having one definitely will take you off the market.
20. Look like a model when you are naked, and maintain this figure
A girl should have no stretch marks or look aged until she is old and has given up on her figure. You're a college girl, so have a figure a Barbie would admire. Guys love this and are proud of show off girls like this. You need to keep a well-maintained figure all year round, and for years to come. Just because you've been dating for a long amount of time doesn't mean your body has to show wear and tear.
21. Have sub-par cooking skills
Guys are born with empty stomachs that are in constant need of home-cooked food. If you were born without natural chef abilities, get your nose in a cookbook rather than a textbook. Bacon Grease > Bachelors Degree!
22. Have sub-par cleaning skills
Sweeping, dusting, laundry, dishes, organizing, mopping, scrubbing. These are all things college men are not allowed to do - it's your job. If you can't stomach plunging a toilet or half-ass make a bed, there's another girl who can.
23. Feel uncomfortable with a threesome
If your boyfriend asks for a threesome, your options are to submit to it or to distract him with sex. When agreeing to a threesome you must not show any sign of being upset over this or throw a "tantrum". In college you are supposed to experiment, right? So get on the pill and add another guy to your body count...but don't tell anybody.
24. Complain
Nobody wants to hear their girlfriend whine and complain. Keep your problems to yourself! It is mainly your fault if your boyfriend acts standoffish to you once you start opening your mouth. Listen to HIS problems and solve them, then he can choose to listen to yours.
25. Be a feminist
There is one thing men hate more than being told they are wrong, and it is a strong feminist woman (yes WOMAN. not GIRL). If your dream guy agrees with the above 24 behaviors/mindsets, your best bet is to reevaluate what you see as a potential boyfriend.
There is no right or wrong way to be YOU. You should never have to conform yourself to a mold that somebody else makes for you. If something makes you feel uncomfortable, you don't have to do it. If you disagree with somebody's opinion, you ha
