What Guys Wish Girls Knew: Myths Finally Debunked

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."

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.

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.
