GIRLS: A Simple Guide For Guys

For all of the guys who say girls are just too complicated.

GIRLS: A Simple Guide For Guys
Original

The mind of a straight male seems to be ever so simple, and extremely less complex than a female. Straight boys are constantly complaining that girls are “too complicated” or even “crazy.” Well, fear no more. Here is a helpful guide in the simplest terms I could conjure up.

1. Communication

This is the absolute number one concept for all girls. Do not play games, do not mislead, do not assume, and do not think she knows what you’re thinking. If she’s doing something you don’t like, tell her. If you don’t fancy her anymore, tell her. If you want to hang out with your bros instead, tell her. It is best to tell her what you’re thinking and feeling. You won’t regret it. Girls like to talk about their feelings.

2. Honesty

Communication leads into honesty. Simply don’t lie. If you start lying from the beginning, the odds are most likely not going to end in your favor.

3. Listen

50 percent of conversations involve listening. Take what she says and remember it. It’s also really cute when a guy remembers something a girl says. If you’re out and about and see something that reminds you of her, or if you see an inside joke out in public, snap a pic and send it to her. It shows that you actually listen and care about what she has to say.

4. Mind Games

I wouldn’t necessarily say that all girls are set out to play games. However, the tricky part is that most girls want you to know things without having to tell you. We feel like we shouldn’t have to tell you certain things, if you liked us you would know us well enough. This seems like a double standard to the whole communication process, but I assure you most girls are like this. I can’t really explain this one, this is just how it is.

5. Friendly or Flirting?

Usually if a girl really likes you, you will know. For example, if you ask her to hang out and she keeps denying or making up excuses then she probably doesn’t want to see you. If, however, the girl is honestly busy she will make an effort to work out an alternate time to actually see you.

6. The Past Is Still Relevant

The boy before you may have caused some major damage. Her trust may be completely distorted from all of the f*ckboys from the past. Keep this in mind. I know it may not makes sense to you, but she needs time and patience if this is the case.

7. Nice Guys, We Need You

OK, girls do like the ‘bad boys.’ Girls like the boys with some issues, but that only lasts for so long. After the bad boy phase, a girl needs that nice boy to take home to her parents.

8. Compliments

Any boy can tell her she is beautiful a million times a day, but if it doesn’t come from the mouth she wishes to hear it from, then it doesn’t really matter.

And lastly, let us eat one french fry. We know you’re a growing man who needs his food, but we didn’t order fries for a reason. Be a man and let us have at least one.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
