Every college girl goes through it. I mean how could you not? The pastel shorts, and vineyard vines t-shirts. Seriously, what's more attractive than a boy who can shotgun a beer in under 10 seconds? Well, actually a lot of things.
It's almost like we're blinded by their supposed popularity, and completely obvious allergies to the word commitment that we all convince ourselves, we can change. Well, you can't, and sadly for the most of us, we have to learn that the hard way. However, once you've woken up from whatever hypnosis they had you under, that's when you have that thought, that every girl has had at least once in their life, "I seriously liked him? Hahahahahaha."
Here're a few signs that you have broken free from your frat boy phase.
1. When a guy says "Yeah I'm in *insert greek letters*," you just walk away.
Like yeah I could go through all of the guys I know that you might know, or I could just walk away and pretend I never met you... yeah that sounds like a better option.
2. You see something on TFM and instead of thinking, "Omg he's so cute," you think "oh no.. that could be my son one day"
Do you really want to date a guy that you wouldn't want your son to be like? Or you wouldn't want your daughter to date? I didn't think so.
3. Hearing "yeah I'm on exec," just reminds you that he will have absolutely no time for you ever.
Unless he's blowing off school, which is also not attractive.
4. He says "Yeah you're supposed to have a 2.7 GPA technically to be in my frat but they let me in with a 2.65 GPA," and you realize you could never introduce him to your mom.
"Hey mom this is Tom, he's on the verge of failing out but like.. he won class clown in his frat superlatives"
5. You realize how annoying it is when they want to communicate exclusively through snapchat.
Seriously though was there a frat convention where guys just decided texting was too mainstream or something?
6. You start to think more about where you see guys being in ten years when you meet them.
Yeah in ten years... you will be in some desk job still bragging about your glory days in college. I'll pass.
7. You actually notice how much of a turn off it is when a guy can roll a blunt faster than he can figure out the order of operations.
Oh, you're moving to Colorado one day and opening a dispensary huh? Yeah, you and every other teenage boy I've met. Next, please.
8. You finally get sick of always being put second to their "brothers"
You hate half of them and have talked about wanting to drop a thousand times, but heaven forbid I get a text from you before you rush to give one of them a ride to buy alcohol.
9. You notice how judgmental they get of anyone who is a little bit different, even though they're the most basic person ever.
Yes, I actually like that girls cat socks thank you very much, at least you can notice her in a crowd instead of getting lost in a sea of backward hats and event T-shirts.
10. You become smart enough to walk away before you get hurt.
Once you've hit that point when you can look at a boy and tell he's going to hurt you, and have the strength to walk away instead of creating excuses for him, this is your tell tale sign that you are out of your frat boy phase.
