10 Myths about Guys Girls Need to Know
We are Sri Lankan women. We have our sets of beliefs about men. DON’T EVEN BOTHER DENYING because it’s true that we tend to believe some or all of the myths about men.
But the New Year is here. <insert heroic soundtrack>
It’s time we unleash the change.
It’s time for us to stop believing these myths.
It’s time we make a difference.
It’s time we stood up against these myths that harm our relationships, our lives, our nice romantic dates and our souls.
*rolls sleeves up*
TIME TO UNMYTH THESE MYTHS!
01. Men don’t like it when women make the first move
This is not true, but then again, this does not mean you turn up at his doorstep after stalking him on Facebook and say, “I want to be the mother of your kids,” when he opens the door.
But what is true is, sometimes, guys like it when you make the first move; when you send the first text, when you pass on the hints first, when you start the flirting.
It’s surprising, I know.
02. All men can think about is getting in your pants
This may be true if the dudes on the streets who gave you the “Ah, nangi” and those who very casually grope women on public transport amounted to the world’s population, but guess what? They are a small proportion and there are guys out there who have conversations without the intention of getting in to your pants. It’s a nice world, really, if the unnecessarily kinky men were cut out of the equation.
3. Men are less romantic than women
FALSE. FALSE. FALSE.
I have come across so many guys who do the most romantic things for their girlfriends. This myth is, therefore, untrue; based on my personal experience and stories worldwide.
*prays to God to make her bump into a man who tattoos her name on his chest and chants her name all day long. Jk*
04. Friendly guys = Flirty guys
This is often the presumption. If that tall boy with the nice eyes and brown hair is being friendly, many think he’s being flirty. Then, when the same tall boy with the nice eyes and the brown hair is spotted being friendly with another girl, many think he’s being flirty with her too.
BUT GUESS WHAT? HE IS NOT. MAY BE HE WANTS YOU TO BE FRIENDS WITH HIM. MAY BE ALL HE WANTS IS A FRIEND BECAUSE HE IS FRIENDLY. LEAVE HIM ALONE. LET HIM FRIENDZONE AWAY!
05. All guys care about are looks
While some boys we come across are really, really, really shallow and make it obvious that they only prefer the exterior of a girl, it’s not the same with all boys.
Some boys really do care about things besides just the looks.
Examples of things besides looks that boys care about:
Your brains
Your virtues and values
Your character
Your cleaning skills
Your motherly traits
Your sandwich making skills
06. There is a universally preferred physical appearance
NOOOOOOOOOOOO. Not all boys like curvy bodies. Not all boys like fair skinned girls. Not all boys like girls with long hair.
There is no universally preferred physical appearance!
Throw away that tube of Fair & Lovely right now!
And go get that pixie haircut!
Show off your unibrow!
Learn it from Bert.
07. When boys check you out, they are interested in you
You know how at airports the security division checks your bag? When they do so, does it mean they want your bags? No.
Apply that to this. When boys check out girls, it does not always mean they are interested in them.
08. Attention on social media means he is interested in you
Dear beautiful girls,
When we send you requests on Facebook and like your posts and comment on your profile pictures and retweet your tweets and follow you on Instagram, it does not always mean we are interested in you. Some of us are just creepy and some of us think your posts are pretty cool. Keep rocking, friend of future wife.
Yours sincerely,
Boys on social media who have no chill
09. Asking for your phone number is a big deal
It’s a big deal only when you make it look like that. Otherwise, asking a girl for her number is not really a big deal. Asking for your number does not equal to your hand being asked for marriage.
10. Guys smoke and drink to look cool
-Real life conversation-
Friend 1: So what’s wrong with him?
Friend 2: He’s really amazing, but it’s really annoying how he smokes and all that just to look cool, like, it’s not really necessary, you know?
*Boy who is being spoken about enters in Bollywood style*
*Boy takes gun out of pocket*
*Boy shoots girl in the head*
*Boy shoots himself*
*Sad Bollywood song*
THE END.
BOYS DO NOT SMOKE AND DRINK TO LOOK COOL. BOYS LIKE IT. IT’S FUN TO MANY.
You don’t need running shoes to run, but running shoes help.
In the same way, you don’t need alcohol and cigarettes to have fun, but they help.
With these 10 myths being unmythed, your class in understanding boys officially ends.
Note: to anyone who wishes to thank me for dedicating my time in clearing these misconceptions and making the world a better place to live in, please bear in mind that I accept gifts; preferably chocolates, pizza and hot surfer boys with six pack abs and blue eyes.
