Did you send him a Snapchat last night?
You're too eager.
How often does he answer your Snapchats?
Regardless of the number, that doesn't mean he cares.
Is your text the last message that was sent in the conversation?
You look desperate.
Did you story a hot selfie, hoping he would view it?
We see right through you.
Does he ever contact you first?
Probably a drunk Snapchat.
Is it before 1 a.m.?
Definitely not.
Do you answer anyway?
Yup.
No matter what we do, us girls just cannot win. If you don't want a boyfriend, you're a slut. If you're looking for a boyfriend, you're clingy. The intentions we have in our heads are never correct because that's not what the boys want to think is real. Do you remember a time when women were always right? When you asked your dad a question and his answer was always, "I don't know... ask your mother."
Well, ladies, times have changed. I don't know if you've heard but it's a f*ckboy's world and we're just living in it.
Gone are the days where we can feel confident about ourselves when it's concerning men. Just the thought of having to ask someone to a formal gives us a stomach ache. That means we have to show some sort of feelings towards them. And showing that we have feeling, gives them power.
It's sad but it's true because that's how it's become now-a-days.
The opposite sex seems to be incapable of having feelings, at least that's how it looks from the outside— which leaves us to carry the burden. To look at their few Instagram pictures at night and think about why they haven't texted us, like only after 1 a.m. of course.
We wait and wait for a sign. Just a little something to carry our hope along for a few days more, before we start to doubt ourselves again.
That is not how it should be. What has happened to mutual respect and mutual caring? Why do we rely on a three-second Snapchat of the ground (because you know they'll never send a picture of themselves) to make up this grand love story in our heads?
We are leading ourselves on because that's the only thing we can do to prevent us from driving ourselves mad— from admitting to ourselves that they most likely don't care. I've seen it happen more often than not. They find a tiny hole in your heart and fill it, for nothing but selfish intentions.
We can't keep doing this to ourselves. We deserve more than having our hearts race when we get a fast reply. The more we build up their lack of chivalry, the more power we're giving them... again.
It's time to stop letting them be right. We aren't sluts. We aren't clingy. And most importantly: We aren't crazy.
If we want to send them five Snapchats without a single reply, let us, just don't belittle our character. We're entitled to feel how we want to feel without receiving any criticisms back.
Stop making this world a f*ckboy's world and start making it yours.
