If I Were A Boy....

I would do things differently.

If I Were A Boy....

There are so many times a woman will say "I wish I was a guy!" in her lifetime. It's a natural response to wish for something you cannot have or wish for something different in general. Personally, there are a few things that would be done differently if I were a boy. Plenty of artists have done songs, shows, paintings, and other such things to emphasize the appeal of the ease of being the opposite gender. Listen to some music and think of all the things you would do differently as the opposite gender, and what would be the results.

Dating: Totally different for each gender and each generation. In this current generation, it can be said that there are four different types of guys and five types of girls. This changes the dating world completely, especially if you think you would be the complete opposite if you were the other gender. For males there are the Alphas, Betas, Gammas, and Omegas to describe the personalities and behaviors in the dating world. Alphas and Betas are at the top with a lot of game and always looking for a reason to show off and improve. Gammas and Omegas are seen as social outcasts and usually don't have a lot of luck with women, and the average guy is actually a Delta.

When it comes to girls, there are five different types of girls in the dating world. There are the girly-girls, or the fashionistas: the ones who are always ready to flirt or meet someone new. The trendy-hipsters are just as flirty but a bit more on the modest or laid back: not girly, but definitely fashionable and usually a little more covered up. Tomboys can be very interested in boys or not care at all, but they have the most comfortable style and are extremely easy to talk to. Then there are the partiers (or the crazies). These are the women you do not take home to meet your mother. The girl everyone dreads seeing at a party, because the longer she's around the more obnoxious she becomes, and the longer she's out the less clothes she has on. The fairy-godmothers, these are the girls who have lives but will still drop everything to help out their friends in or out of a relationship. These are the girls who don't really date or sometimes forget about their relationship, but somehow these girls know every thing there is to know about a relationship.

Personally, I believe that in the dating world each person may be placed in a category, but can switch to a different one over time. Most would say that in the female dating group I would be put into the trendy-hipster category. Now, if I was a boy would I be the same and most likely a delta? Or become the opposite and aim to be an Alpha or Sigma? Does it matter? It does, in the sense that, we think of how our behavior would be different if we were the opposite gender. Saying who you would be as the opposite gender actually just says what you are looking for in any relationship.

I like to spoil people, friends or significant others, it doesn't matter. Making someone smile is extremely important. I would like to believe that I would be the guy who would send adorable text messages every morning, and show up with little presents and cute poems. I don't know, and neither does anyone else. In reality we are only the people that others see and treat us as. A gender doesn't define the actions of a person, it is society that has decided what is appropriate for a person to do or not to do in a relationship.

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.
