I found a group on facebook called 102 Things Guys Should Know About Girls. Some of it is true and some is not. So I thought I would make my own comments on each one. Green is true. Blue is false. Anything in parentheses is my own commentary (my opinion not a generalization).
(Here is the link to the group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=221462406125&ref=share&v=info)
2. Be aware of all your girlfriends’ guy friends, brothers, fathers, or anything. They are protective. Every single male friend we have will kick your ass if you end up hurting her.
3. Never ever miss an opportunity to tell her that she’s beautiful. We girls love that. (to a point...enough is enough though)
4. If she slapped you hard, you probably deserved it. (Sometimes I'm a little more violent than I mean to be. Sometimes I overreact to things. It happens.)
5. Do not be afraid of holding her. If she’s going out with you in the first place, it’s obvious that she likes you and wants to be in your arms. (This doesn't include PDA though. Minimize the PDA)
6. Every girl should eventually get three things from her boyfriend -- a stuffed animal, one of his sweatshirts or hoodie’s, and a really pretty piece of jewelry. (Personally I think the hoodie or sweatshirt is the best)
7. Make sure she gets home safely as often as you can. If you're dropping her off, walk her to the door. If you aren't dropping her off, call to be sure she's home safely. We think that’s really cute and sweet.
8. If a guy is bothering your girlfriend, it is your right to beat the sh!t out of him. (only if it's unavoidable)
9. If you're talking to a female friend of yours, pull your girlfriend closer. It’ll make her feel secure that you love her more than the other girl. (No) 10. Never ever slap her, even if it's just in a joking way. Even if she swats you first, and says, "Oh, you're so dumb" or something, never make any gestures back. (Again, I disagree. If is playful, then okay.)
11. Go along with her to a chick flick once in a while. She doesn't care whether you enjoy it or not, it just matters that you went with her. (If you really can't stand them then say so and don't go. It's really not that big of a deal.)
12. If you're officially dating, and you're introducing her to your friends, you'd better damn well introduce her as your girlfriend. Or else. (Yeahhh...do it.)
13. Girls are fragile. Even if you're play fighting/wrestling, be very gentle. Let her win once in a while. (Psh. I'm not that fragile. I'll beat a guy fair and square...maybe)
14. Memorize your girlfriend’s birthday. You forget her birthday and you're basically screwed for life. Not gonna lie. (Not screwed for life, but try to remember)
15. Don't drench yourself in the cologne, but smell good. (No drenching! I don't enjoy sneezing constantly. I personally like a natural clean scent)
16. You don’t have to spend a million dollars on the Birthday/Christmas/Valentine gift. It doesn't have to be expensive, or cost anything but it has to be meaningful. (I'm pretty wary of expensive gifts from guys at this point. You can't buy me.)
17. Don’t ever lie to us; we always find out. (Yeah I will read it right on your face)
18. Don’t say you understand when you don’t. That’s bad.
19. Remember: Girls are pretty, but yours is the Prettiest! (at least pretend she is! I do enjoy discussing attractive qualities in celebrities with guys though)
20. Saying something sweet might get you off the hook; but doing something sweet will always get you off the hook. (seriously. often the sweetest things are the things guys don't do on purpose that get them off the hook)
21. Size does matter, but only to hoes; not girls that want relationships. (As long as you know how to use it well :)
22. No matter what you say, your ex-girlfriend is a hoe. Don’t bother trying to convince us otherwise, that is a bad idea. (Not true. Just keep info to a minimum and so will I. Some information is necessary though. The past says something about the future.)
23. It’s good to be sensitive, to a point. (TO A POINT)
24. If you did something wrong, apologize. Even if you didn’t, do it anyway. (If you didn't, don't apologize. If a girl is irrational enough to think you should, she's an idiot)
25. You did something bad. I seem cool with it. I'm not. (True. I rarely show when something hurts me. So if you know you were a jerk, you should know I'm hurt)
26. We are self-conscious by nature; we can’t help it. Let it be. (No it's not by nature. But no one is always 100% confident)
27. We don’t shave our legs every day so just get over it. (! I just happen to be blessed with smooth legs...)
28. Shave your face, no matter how cool you think your goatee or beard or mustache looks, we probably hate it. We like you clean shaven. (Not always true. Facial hair is attractive on some guys. If I think it is, I'll tell you.)
29. Show off a little, we think it’s cute.
30. You are our boyfriend, our man, our protector, whether you know it or not, you are; act like it. (It's fine to act silly and immature sometimes. We all do.)
31. You are cute in raglan-sleeved T-shirts (two-toned baseball undershirts).
32. We love it when you hug us from behind and whisper in our ear. (or talk...either way it will make me smile)
33. "Fine" is NEVER an appropriate response when I ask you how I look. (I probably won't ask, because I already know the answer.)
34. Most of the time when I fantasize, it's about you. Don’t obsess over that. (Girls tend to do that...)
35. I expect you to call me. If you don’t, you go down. (I suppose it depends on how long it's been since we've talked.)
36. I'm more forgiving of you than I really should be. Don’t you dare take advantage of that. (I have high expectations of people, so when they don't live up to them, I don't forgive. So if I do, you're damn special.)
37. When I compare my flabby tummy to a kangaroo pouch, say nothing. (I would never do that! especially out loud)
38. You look hot in hooded clothing items. Always.
39. You should never tell a girl what to do. Ever. (suggestions work better. Plus I'm so stubborn, I usually do the opposite)
40. Any decent man will ask a girl out to her face. I mean; if you aren’t man enough to ask us out to our face, who says you're gonna be man enough to our boyfriend at all.
41. Girls are very impressed when you ask them for advice. Unless its about another girl. (First part: doesn't really matter I suppose. Second: That would just be dumb)
42. I'm unimpressed with a man who doesn't take the lead. (more like I'm impressed when a guy takes the lead because most don't in my experience)
43. When in doubt, go with the shirt that matches your eye color. (I really don't care)
44. You're sexy when you're shaving, fixing things, wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, driving, eating a peach, holding a baby. (they forgot to mention no shirt...and I'd say holding a baby would be classified as really cute)
45. Girls need to hear how you feel about them. Often. Tell her now. (sometimes. not all the time. showing is good too)
46. A girl wants to be the best thing that ever happened to you--and for you to recognize this and tell her. (But only if it's true. If it's not don't say anything about it.)
47. If she’s not feeling loved, she will start looking...(extremely true. This does not mean cheating though. Cheating should be a never ever)
48. We like it when you tell us what you're thinking, even if you don't know yourself. It’s cute. (Only sometimes. I don't need to be your psychologist)
49. It's cheating as soon as you're doing something with her that you wouldn't want me to see, hear, read...(strippers don't really count unless you vigorously interact with them and please take a shower after. Obviously we all go to bachelor/bachelorette/bday/etc parties at some point)
50. For the record: I'd rather you break up with me than cheat.
51. We can fall in love with you without really knowing you, if you are an @ss, we will find out, and we will get over it. Fast. Don't ruin it. (You can't fall in love with someone you don't know. That's just ridiculous.)
52. You like her, make a move. Don’t just sit there, you will fail, and you won’t get her.
53. Baseball players are hot. The sport makes you skinny and your arm muscles… well, it’s hot. We’ll go to all your games even if we hate baseball. (First of all, no to baseball. Yes to hockey and soccer, but I would always prefer my own guy to one of them and yes to the last sentence)
54. When you compliment us, we aren't sure how to accept the compliment without leading you on or reject the compliment without hurting you. So just bear with us here. (For guys I'm uninterested in: I say thanks, smile and leave quickly. For a guy I do like: I'll feel really awkward and probably show it too, but I'll still be happy about it.)
55. WE HATE BEING LED ON! If you think it's bad being led on by a girl, try being led on by a guy. (I'd say it's pretty even eithe way)
56. We like it when guys are willing to have an actual relationship, not just a one-night stand. Most girls don't like pimps or players, just guys who like ONE girl only. (If you're in a place where a one-night stand is what you want, then be honest. It's not a bad thing necessarily.)
57. But don't be obssessive. Major turn-off. (!!!! Please have a life that doesn't include me 24/7)
58. Call sometimes, just to say hi, not for a certain reason. When we see your number on caller ID, our heart always skips a beat. Try calling just to say good night, or good morning, its soo adorable! (I dunno about the just to say hi bit. Personally I'm not a big fan of using the phone unless needed. But do use it sometimes.)
59. BE HONEST! (There is such things as too honest though.)
60. Don't ONLY tell us what we want to hear. We HATE that.
61. At sleepovers, if you wonder what we talk about, quit worrying. It really is only you. (This one made me laugh because it's true.)
62. If you catch us staring, it is most likely because we're spacing out, not because we really stare at you. Unless we smile when you notice. Then you either look really hot, or we like you.
63. We like it when you hold us when we're crying. It's good to feel loved and safe. (me crying in front of a guy is unlikely to happen though unless I'm very comfortable)
64. Don't go to our friends to talk about us. Come straight to us.
65. Don't tell us you love us unless you are positive you mean it. If we don't say it back, it's just that we really want to mean it when we say it. Don't say it right away, then it shows lack of commitment. (and of course remember that the girl is almost always going to wait for the guy to say it first, because girls don't want to scare their guys away)
66. We like our hands to be held and our waists to be touched.
67. We like you to kiss our hand and cheeks and forehead (esp. forehead!!), not just shove your tongue down our throats. We do like to breathe. (breathing is essential. Obviously some kisses are affectionate and some have a more intense meaning)
68. We like it when you're tender, but don't lose your masculinity. (you can be both)
69. Do chivalrous things when we least expect it (ex. holding doors for us).
70. As surprising as it may be, while guys might actually look at personality, the first thing girls look at tends to be looks. We're not going to see you and think, 'I wonder what his personality is like!' Terrible, but true. (Like I've said before, I can't be with a guy who isn't both very attractive and very smart)
71. If we love you, and you're hurt on the basketball court, rolling on the floor in pain; we’re hurting more just watching you. (even if we like you, it sucks not to be able to do anything. Love is more like: I would take your emotional and physical pain away and put it on myself if I could type thing)
72. We LOVE it when you get nervous around us. It's adorable! Don't think you have to be Mr. Cool Guy all the time. (Yeah...acting cool all the time will make me think you don't actually like me)
73. Don't play hard to get. We’ll get bored and move on. (most probably anyway...)
74. If you don't call us, then we will spend hours thinking about why you never called, and we will waste a lot of time thinking about it, eventually coming to the conclusion that we don't like you anymore. (I have a life, so I'm not going to spend hours thinking about it. That doesn't mean I won't feel it though.)
75. We lost interest quickly if you lead us on but never take action.
76. We might seem to flirt a lot, but a girl always thinks about the one guy she really likes right before she falls asleep. (Flirting is kind of in my nature, but when I really like a guy I don't even think about it.)
77. When a girl likes a guy, she subconsciously gives him a song that makes her think of him every time she hears it. (Yeah pretty much. If I like you a lot I might even find 2)
78. If guys do the same as girls do in #77, tell her what song reminds you of her.
79. Randomly compliment girls in conversations. If you're talking about sports, be like "Oh, by the way, that shirt really made your eyes look green today." It totally throws us off, and we love it. (I guess that's nice on occasion)
80. Ask us about how we're doing once in a while, and at least pretend to be interested.
81. If we're not talking to you, we secretly want you to talk to us first. (This is one of the many girl tests. If you don't talk to us first at least half the time, we won't think you care. It's not a great thing to do, but even I am guilty of it.)
82. Play with our hair without being like a gay hairstylist. (I guess...if you want??)
83. We get really happy when you show any sign of interest. Don't just do it and then never do it again. Bad bad bad…
84. Keep up the conversation on IM and phones and in person! Don't be awkward. That’s bad. (Sometimes awkward is cute too though)
85. We will always feel bad if we don't like you back. Not all girls are bitches, no matter what you may think. We hate to reject you. (unless you're a creep...in which case I'm not afraid to bitch slap you)
86. ok, so some girls are bitches and they like rejecting boys, but the people who wrote this group are not. better?
87. If we say "Let's just be friends", we really mean it. Don't keep trying to pursue us, and don't say ok and then ignore us. That's just mean and horrible. (and so fucking annoying!)
88. It's adorable when a best guy friend who a girl has thought about liking confesses he likes her. (That just doesn't need to happen to me)
89. If you’re single, find the one girl who’s always there on the sidelines at your football game, or at each of your concerts, all your baseball games. She loves you. Her excuse may be that she’s there for her brother, but she’s really there for you. (Make sure she's not a creeper and only pursue if you're interested)
90. After you find that girl, smile at her once in a while, it’ll mean the world to her. (I promise I'll probably melt inside just a bit)
91. Get to know her, you’ll make her year first of all, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll end up liking her.
92. Not all blondes are bitches. Some are cool.
93. Not all blondes are sluts. Some have morals.
94. In your mind, give every girl a chance. Each one deserves at least one.
95. Girls fantasize too, its just not always about sex.
96. We girls give you guys code names so that you don’t know that we’re talking about you. :] (When I had a crush on a guy junior year I called him B squared and his little brother, baby B squared. Others have been SWAH and The jerky)
97. If you’re jealous, it may suck for you, but we think it’s attractive if you really care that much. (Jealousy is only okay to a point and if you're secure in a relationship, there isn't any need)
98. If a girl blushes when you talk to her, she either likes you or she's embarrassed by what you're saying. (apparently I blush...)
99. Girls don’t really write your name on a piece of paper a million times if they like you, that’s a myth…… sometimes
100. If a girl really likes you, just seeing you will make her day. (seriously. just for 5 seconds and the day is looking up)
101. Even if you aren’t all that cute, and we like you, we think you’re hot. Don’t take advantage of that, take pride in that. (True, but if I like you, then you should know for sure you are hot and not just in my eyes.)
102. Every time you smile at us, it may mean only a little to you, but it means the world to us. Don't take the little things for granted.
So that was kind of fun..I guess. I need to sleep and not be sick anymore. While we're on this topic though...Today my mom said her friend had an attractive son who goes to USM and happens to be a psych major. I laughed and said that's nice, but I'm not looking. Then my dad responded, "you're not looking at guys right now?! That's great!" I gave him my 'don't be ridiculous' look and said "I didn't say that." To which my mom asked if that meant I wasn't still interested in the carpenter's son who goes to keene (6'3, brown hair, brown eyes, essence of manliness). I said I'm not interested in anyone except Luke (figured I might as well admit it. Everyone knows it.)
Now I'm going to hide under my pillow/go to sleep.
