Don't get me wrong, there are some wonderful, respectful, upstanding guys out there. Unfortunately, there are also the ones that are not. I am going to keep this short and sweet, but excuse me for the rant I am about to go on. I just wanted to give a little PSA to college guys, grown men, or any other guys that need to hear it. Here are just a few things that I strongly encourage you discontinue:
1. Grabbing girls butts.
So remember in elementary school when your teachers told you to "keep your hands to yourself"? THAT STILL APPLIES. I do not care if we are wearing yoga pants, booty shorts, or assless chaps... None of it is an invitation to grab our butts. No matter what. In any circumstance. The ONLY situation that this is okay is if you are in a relationship. What girlfriend doesn't like a quick booty grab by their boyfriend at the bar when you're looking good ya know? But other than that, NO NO.
2. Making fun of girls for taking pictures.
We are girls and we like to capture memories, so please stop mocking us by sticking your butt out and obnoxiously smiling. We do not look like that. We never will look like that. Your imitation skills are subpar so just let us take thousands of pictures like we were born to do.
3. Commenting on Facebook friendships.
You're so right, Amber became friends with Jack on Facebook so that OBVIOUSLY means they are going to hook up and we should comment all over it to let them know we know because I totally forgot that we are still in high school.
4. Catcalling
DEAR LORD CAN YOU NOT?! Calling us "baby" or "sweetheart" or "sweet thang" as we are crossing the street does not make us want to talk to you. Like ever. We have real names and if you want our attention, how about you compliment our shoes or something. We will SWOON if you notice our cute shoes.
5. Attacking us from behind on the dance floor.
LISTEN TO ME: Nothing is worse than when we are on the dance floor with our friends and a guy all of a sudden grabs us from behind and expects us continue dancing. We are in our '20s dude....aren't we over the whole grinding stage? The worst is when a group of guys just stand on the side and assess the babe pool and plan their attack like a pack of freaking lions. It is CREEPY. Please ASK us if we would like to dance, or you will be left at the altar....sorry I mean dance floor, but the embarrassment is relatively equivalent.
6. Taking selfies
I am very sorry to be the one to break it to you, but your mirror pic showing off your abs is not attractive. It makes you look very conceited and most girls do not find that as an admirable trait. Pictures of you with your mom? SWOON MAN SWOON. Mirror selfie of your rock hard abs? Ehhhh.
7.Teasing other guys for being a good boyfriend.
So since when was it uncool for guys to appreciate their girlfriend??? The picture they posted of their beautiful girlfriend is cute. God bless them for going to the pumpkin patch and doing basic girl things. That doesn't make them weak or lame or any other names you want to tease them with, it just makes them a good guy who has a great relationship and there is nothing wrong with that.
Consider this a message from the entire girl population. End of rant.
And don't worry gentleman, I will be following up with an article of what girls should stop doing as well ;)
Thank you for listening and have a wonderful day :)
