Guys. They really do say the darnest things. Sometimes, we wonder if their mouths have nerves that connect to their brains. If not, why do they just shoot it off at the most inopportunate moments? Let Issues 4 Girls N Boys find out for the masses
It doesn't matter if they do it intentionally or not, or whether it's your father, brother, guy friend or boyfriend doing the talking. Just by opening their mouths, many guys reflect that total close-mindedness, insensitivity and plain stupidity that make us want to puke. Issues 4 Girls N Boys find out have, on record, some of their worst moments.
Egoistic Expressions
Challenging us to games and sports - "I'll trash you at..."
What a strong hint of male superiority? Do you really think you could beat us? Girls can be better than guys at games and sports... just stop trying to bring in arm-wrestling all the time.
After losing 10 straight games to us - "Actually, I was afraid you'd cry if you lose, so I let you win..."
Oh yeah, right. It must be sad having to lie just to cover up for losin to a girl. Did we just hear someone's ego go "SPLAT" on the floor? Oh wow, it bounced right up aain.
Arguing over where to go for a meal - "Trust me. I'm the man... I know better."
What an extraordinary argument! So we ended up in some god-forsaken place eating "food" trying to masquerade as food (are you even sure it's thoroughly cooked?). And get diarrhoea. And have to stay in bed sick and can't go on dates.
After promising to teach us a new 'skill' - "You suck. It's a total waste of my time to try to teach someone with no talent."
Hellooo? It's been said that a student is as good as the teacher does. So a poor student may reflect a lousy teacher. Especially since you haven't even taught us the basics before you show off your "unbeatable" skills.
When confronted with the fact that you are about to be dumped - "There are plenty of fishes in the sea who will swarm to Neptune (read: me). It's your loss!"
Yeah, and we have Daniel Craig and Johnny Depp at our fingertips too. Only a loser would actually think he is Neptune and announce it. Save that line and modify it for a friend who's just been dumped instead.
Chauvinistic Claims
After learning that we can't really cook or sew (maybe that well) - "Girls should be able to cook. You are a girl - why can't you?"
Err... stop trying to push the chores to us just because you can't and won't do it. We know of guys who can cook and sew too, so why can't you? Haven't you seen male chefs and tailors before?
After doing worse than us in quizzes and tests - "Test aren't an accurate measure of I.Q. Everyone knows that guys are smarter than girls."
Nope. Wrong again. Girls are just as smart or even smarter. Example: we all know that information from your books cannot diffuse into your head no matter how long you use it as a pillow.
"Big deal. As if it matters how much you got for the test - girls end up staying at home, while men get to do the serious work."
That statement betrays an overpowering fear or raking in a salary lower than that of your future spouse. But too bad, you have to get used to this possibility. Not all women end up as homemakers, and anyway, homemaking is tough work too. Try it for a week and see for yourself.
Critical Comments
When we wear something not to your 'taste' - "That's disgusting! Didn't I tell you not to buy it?"
Do you even know the concept of TACT? We think this line from a song sums it up best: "I don't tell you what to wear... so you don't tell me what to..." The gist is stop trying to control our lives, 'cos we know what suits our bodies better than you do.
When we are munching on tidits - "You don't want to lose that girlish figure, do you? So put down that chocolate/popcorn/potato chip/etc."
Don't worry. If we lose our figures, we'll buy you an inflatable Lara Croft. Anyway, if we don't eat that chocolate/popcorn/potato chip/etc., how are you going to reward us? No flowers, please. We're allergic.
When watching us eat - 'too much' - "You are such a glut! Girls are supposed to have dainty appetites."
When watching us eat - 'too little' - "Do you think it is attractive to pick at your food like a bird?"
Yes, siree. Do you want to measure out how much food we should eat? Contrary to what you may think, how much we eat does not depend on you... unless you should make us lose our appetites.
Okay, so these opinions are on the extreme side. But girls are very opinionated feminists after all. But seriously, we have seen many guys ruin their chances at friendship (and more) with those silly comments on a regular basis. Therefore, here's some advice from the girls.
Girls: Do not be afraid to put a guy in his place when he shows any of the above signs!
Guys: Connect the hole in your face to the grey mass in your head. Always think before you speak. A meaningless utter may not matter much to you, but it sure does to others. Do not let your mouth get ahead of you! (Did we hear someone say, "What grey mass?")
