Inside Her Head: Parks & Rec Style

Reasoning with the belief that women are confusing.

I’m here to offer a few pieces of advice. For some reason, men think women are foreign beings who have only been put on this earth to ruin their lives. I’m also here to tell you that isn’t the truth (phew).

So please, let me help you out.

The Truth:

For some odd reason, I feel as if men think that telling the truth hurts the situation more than it helps. IT DOESN’T. Nine times out of 10 we just want the truth so we can accept it and move on with our lives. The less information we have, the more we try to fill in the blanks ourselves, and I can assure you that you don’t want that to happen.

Be Straightforward:


This could go hand-in-hand with the truth, but I feel like it’s something that needs attention. Maybe you’re scared to hurt our feelings, or perhaps you really just don’t think about it, but for God’s sake say what you mean. If you’re into a girl, LHK, if you aren’t, also LHK. It’s really not fair to either of you to drag on the situation if the feelings aren’t reciprocated.

The Feels:

If you have the feels, commit to the feels. Don’t act heartless and insensitive and then be confused when she distance herself from you. Showing your feelings is attractive, and does not make you any less manly (if that’s what you’re concerned about).

Don’t be a Chameleon:


I promise you it is the most annoying thing when you act into a girl one-on-one, but act like she’s irrelevant around other people. I’m not sure if it’s to save your self-image but if so, that’s dumb and GOODBYE. Also, if you find yourself in this situation, I think it’s safe to say you should refer to “Be Straightforward” and tell her the truth about how you feel.

Don’t Call Us Psycho:

Psycho is a murderer or a stalker. Psycho is not reaching ends wit and finally addressing you with all of our questions since you didn’t follow the steps above. Psycho is not asking you to clarify what is between you two. Psycho is not saying that your 'relationship' is not working out because you’re talking to multiple people. And psycho certainly isn’t telling you how she feels that you wasted years of her life by cheating on her.

We are not delicate. We don’t need you to treat us like a lost puppy; actually DO NOT treat us like a lost puppy. Treat us like a human being, who has logical reasoning skills and the capacity to accept and appreciate the truth.
