Why You Should Always Go For The Emotional Guy

I realize that my love life wasn't written by Nicholas Sparks.

Why You Should Always Go For The Emotional Guy
Total Sorority Move

“No guy will ever love me this much” my friend murmurs as she analyzes a Twitter video displaying a scrapbook full of sweet, yet totally cheesy, photographs of a couple that a very impassioned boyfriend made for a super fortunate girl.

Now, to put this Twitter personality on a pedestal and compare him to every other average boyfriend isn’t necessarily fair. However, what also isn’t fair is my other friends' responses to the video, commenting that “Twitter boy” is way too emotional, and she in no way finds his obsession over his girlfriend attractive. Considering the uttermost romance us girls are exposed to nowadays is two heart-eyed emojis commented under our selfie, or even complimenting our highlighter (but most importantly knowing what highlighter is), it is hard to distinguish between adoration and delusion.

It is such a novel concept to the majority of girls that when a guy is open to showing his more vulnerable side, he is in fact not a “pussy.” He is simply just emotional. I for one find myself to be smitten over a boy who will race me to a door to hold it for me, is a fan of the long “goodnight text messages” and, believe it or not, actually likes talking about his feelings. This is what I am attracted to, as sometimes you may have to put in a little more effort than normal to spare his feelings. He is genuine and that is something so hard to come by.

The emotional boy is always pushing himself to remember the small details; what outfit you wore to dinner last week, the song lyric you sang just a little bit louder than the rest of the song, or even remembers the cute pose you wanted to do for your Instagram photo. The emotional guy is flawlessly selfless and so beautifully compassionate.

So ladies, be open-minded to the nice guy. Accept him for his giving nature and don’t think twice about it. If even after considering all of this the emotional guy isn’t for you, fine; more nice guys for me!

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.
