What Girls Think Guys Do vs. What Guys Actually Do

A stereotype is a common statement about a certain type of person or thing. In this article, there will be many stereotypes about college guys.

Readers, think about guys and now think about what they do. I asked a few women at Slippery Rock University to do the same and wrote down their responses. Let me just say some responses were shocking. Guys certainly don't know everything, but neither do girls.

When you're done here, make sure you check out What Boys Think Girls Do vs. What Girls Actually Do!


1. How do guys start their day?

Girl's answer: The first thing a guys does every day is masturbate.

Guy's reality: We do not masturbate as soon as we wake up every single day. While men have a stronger sex drive than women, we do not all do the dirty every single morning. Some of us still have some amount of shame and prefer to keep it. Shame on the college male that does.

2. What is a college guy's biggest issue?


Girl's answer: College guys have mommy issues.

Guy's reality: You're damn right we do. Our mothers have broken us, put us back together, and broken us again. It's exactly what more than half of you do to us during a relationship.

3. What does a college guy's room look like?



Girl's answer: College guys' bedrooms are disgusting with mismatched bedding, posters of naked or half naked women, and a futon.

Guy's reality: Our rooms get messy more often than not, but when the calendar says "clean room today" we damn well do it. And yes, our bedding might be mismatched, but that's the last thing we're worried about in college. There's homework, money, a job, whatever organization you're in, and friends. The last thing we care about is if our sheets match the pillow case and if it all pulls together with the comforter.

We might have posters of half naked women, but a lot of us also cover our walls with art, music, or TV show posters (Game of Thrones). No, we do not have futons in our rooms. That is a myth just like the Loch Ness monster.

4. How often do guys drink?

Girl's answer: College guys casually sip beer throughout the day.

Guy's reality: Another urban legend. Not all guys are alcoholics and some of us have better, more important things to do than get drunk all day.

5. What do guys think of relationships?


Girl's answer: Guys hate commitment.

Guy's response: No we don't. Please don't even. You don't read minds (as much as you think you can).

6. What is a guy's biggest fear?


Girl's answer: The biggest fears of a college guy are being a "bad performer" and being told he isn't "big" enough.

Guy's reality: You're right, ladies. These are our two biggest fears when we begin falling for a college girl. When we're told we're small or bad in bed you might as well have just told us that our childhood dog got run over by a semi, so remember that.

7. What is most important to a college guy?


Girl's answer: Being the bread winner is most important for a guy.

Guy's reality: You couldn't be further from the truth. We would love to hang out with the kids all day while you're off working bringing home the bacon. By all means, go to work while we do errands all day. We'd love to because that stereotype is dead.

8. How often do guys guys brush their teeth?


Girl's answer: Guys might brush their teeth everyday

Guy's reality: We always brush our teeth! (For the love of god if you're a college guy reading this who doesn't brush their teeth everyday, JUST DO IT.)


Guys. Women know a heck of a lot more about us than we do about them. They're like the flying spaghetti monster; We will never understand how they work, but they will always know what makes us tick. We're a simple breed, mostly. There's really not much to us. There is one thing they won't ever figure out though - our feelings. We have our emotions so bottled up that they might as well be inside of Fort Knox.

Let's be honest. Most college women have a very different view on men than what men have of women. However, we can all agree that the opposite sex sucks in numerous aspects. Guys might be considered shallow a**holes, but the same can be said about the opposite sex. Here's the deal girls -- there are a lot of you and a lot of us so there's bound to be bad members of both. So for now (and as always) let's just agree to disagree.

While we work on that, head over to our counterpart article, What Boys Think Girls Do vs. What Girls Actually Do.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
