10 Misconceptions Guys Have About Girls

I am not making these up.

1. Girls do in fact grow body hair.


Friend told me about how one of his friends once got confused when he saw women's Venus razors in a grocery store. Thought it was a new and dumb idea.

"It's not like they got hair."

"...Yeah, they do."

"What, no they don't. I've never seen it once."

*Holds up razor* "Ya know why? It's cause of these!"

We do in fact grow body hair. Most of us just don't like the feeling of it so we get rid of it.

2. Periods actually do cause us legitimate pain.

Never make fun of a girl's period. Never make "time of the month" or "pms" jokes. They're not funny! We are in pain for nearly a week every month and are sometimes nearly in tears if we don't take enough pain killers. And we will go through this for the majority of our lives. Also, lady products are not evil. So stop acting like the world will end if you have to touch a package of them. I know too many guys that won't help out their wives or girlfriends and shop for them because they don't want to touch them. It's sad and pathetic. Grow up. Periods happen.

3. Breaking a nail.


Breaking a nail is actually pretty painful. Runners or athletes would know this because sometimes they can lose toenails in their sport. For girls, it's not only the physical pain of having a long nail snap off, but also (if you're OCD) then you have to cut all the other nails to match. And that really sucks if you'd been growing them out for a while to make them look nice.

4. Bras.

Contrary to popular belief girls do not just wear fancy bras for men, we wear them for ourselves and to support these massive weights hanging off our chest. These over glorified milk jugs need support.

5. Wearing makeup isn't a form of lying to you.


I have no idea how many guys I've seen or heard say this and even some girls and it's not okay. Girls wear makeup to feel good about themselves or for the fun of it, and it's not always to impress or "trick" you. So quit acting like everything we do is supposed to make you feel good or impress you.

6. The whole "nice guys finish last" thing is really old.

Just stop it. Quit your complaining and grow up already. Nice guys do not finish last and the fact that you act so entitled and whiny when we don't want to be your girlfriend even though you acted "so chivalrous" makes you not a nice guy. Did you ever consider just being a decent person for the sake of being decent? Stop expecting us to put out just because you were nice to us. Don't just act like a gentleman, be a gentleman.

7. Girls are so confusing.


Yes, I'll agree with you on this one. And sometimes we can't even understand our own secret girl codes. Sometimes when I say I'm fine I actually am, and other times I'm dying inside but I can't say anything because then I'll start ranting and be called crazy. So better to just skip that whole mess.

8. Showing you care.

Spouses, boyfriends, so on, we girls don't need a ton of gifts or flowers or anything like that to know that you love us. Just show us with small things like helping us clean, taking out the garbage without us having to ask, or just spontaneous kisses and asking how our day has been. We know you love us. But it's also nice to know and see it in real ways.

9. Girls inherently like pink.


Basic, but needs to be said. Not every girl fits into this perfect, pretty mold made of glitter and pink plastic crap.

10. Words can be worse than actions.

Something that so many guys don't understand it that if you are an important, respected person in our life (husband, boyfriend), and you make just one bad comment about us or something we like, then it will forever change the way we think about it. Example: make one silly joking comment at us using the word ugly, it will take years of telling us that we're beautiful to make us actually feel it again.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
