What Guys Wish Girls Knew: Myths Finally Debunked

In This Article:

After deep sea diving into the unknown world that is the male mind, I have uncovered the secrets to which we are all wondering. Here's what the guys have to say.

1. Contrary to Popular Belief: Not All Guys Suck

After going on my quest in search of the truth, the legend that men are all the same was debunked. It's true there are guys out there who will respect and love you. Chad and Brad don't represent all the guys, let's be fair ladies! Here lies the treasure of what I discovered and the truth, right from their own words:

"There are actually good guys that are out there, not these f* boys. There are some that are solid gentlemen that will treat you right."

"I wish girls would understand that not all guys are gonna play them."

"I wish girls would understand that family means a lot to most guys."

2. Myths Debunked: Guys Reveal the Truth

There's a big misconception that guys always have to make the first move. Girls, I know you won't make the move if you risk him not being as into you as you are to him. Don't be afraid and be the confident girl you are, it turns out guys are impressed and it's not "weird" for girls to make the first move. Take it from me, I asked my boyfriend out on our first date and we're at two years!

"I wish girls knew that they could make the first move sometimes."

"I like when a girl genuinely has interests in what I care about. It shows she cares."

"You should impress your significant other even if you're dating. Just like you appreciate just-because flowers, we enjoy reciprocated effort."

"Sometimes girls need to understand that we need time with our boys, and it doesn't mean I love her any less."

3. Girl you're perfectly imperfect. Don't change yourself for us.

Impressing a guy is something every girl wants, but at what price? For all the girls, shy and confident, don't worry about changing yourself. I asked the guys and after they well, spilling the beans, I have the details. Being your authentic self is best for two reasons: 1) You don't want to be with a man who doesn't like you for you and 2) Guys don't like when you put up an act.

"When a girl is humble, has good manners, and doesn't act like she's all that interests me."

"I like when a girl can dress up. Not that I wouldn't like her if she didn't, but guys appreciate it."

"We actually just want to be treated with the same effort back."

4. Major Key Alert. Communication is key.

As DJ Khalid would put it, here's a "major key alert" from the guy. You don't have to worry about guessing games anymore, here's the truth.

"Communication is key."

"Girls, be straight up about what you want."

"I wish girls would understand that guys have feelings even though we don't express them."

"I wish girls would give us a chance to explain and see things from our side to prevent issues in the future."

"In all honesty, when a girl spams and doesn't get the signal that a guy is not interested is bad for both of us. If we don't show we're interested and it's clear, it's better to move on than trying to make them like you because we won't and it's not worth forcing what isn't there."

That last one can hurt, but be honest with yourself. NO GUY is worth it if you have to keep trying to prove yourself over and over, you don't owe anyone anything. The only thing you do owe is for yourself, and that's being authentic. That's the best you there is anyways, PERIOD.

You're still perfect. We have turn offs though, just like you.

Girl, you're still perfect TRUST ME it's that not all guys are perfect for YOU. Finding the connection means you like each other at your best and worst, but here are some tidbits that most guys find unattractive just like we have our own opinions, am I right ladies?

"A girl with bad hygiene is a huge turn off."

"I wish that girls wouldn't get jealous over dumb things like when I say "thank you" to the waitress. If I'm into you, it's because I want to be with you like while we're eating right now, not to cheat."

"A turn off would be when a girl is conceded about themselves, isn't respectful, and tries to act dumb."

"A girl is attractive not only when she has a nice smile. She is most attractive when she is intelligent."

"Having no sense of humor is a deal breaker for me."

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
