Annoying Things that Girls Do

So, being a guy, I have noticed that there is a large difference between guys and girls, a shock I know. Nowhere are these differences more pronounced than in the college setting. I'm sure most of you reading this can readily identify the examples I give:

1. Putting a string of initials at the bottom of your AIM profile: Yes we all know you girls have lots of friends and confidants, lots of extra-special people who mean a lot to you. Obviously, in your minds the best way to express this is by listing all of their initials, in some sort of secret code. Not only that, it's always in some loopy-ass font, and God forbid someone turns bitch on you...so long their initials! I am also curious how the decision is made as to who is included. I'm sure that people know who your friends are, and you know who your friends are. I am pretty sure that guys don't need to see their initials in someone's profile to know they are friends.

2. EVERYTHING seems to "equal love": This one drives me crazy. Whether it be the caption for pictures of suitemates together on Facebook, some cryptic shout-out in your AIM profile, or any shitty sign that is put up in your room, somehow they all look like this "308A = love" or "7/23/07 = love" or "T.R., F.P., L.T., E.C. = love." This is absolute nonsense, especially since in many cases the people involved are not even friends, but in the example of say, suitemates, are girls acting like they are best friends with these random individuals and therefore the people have somehow become physical manifestations of love. I'm pretty sure guys don't write things like "2006 intramural floor hockey = love."

3. Many of you don't seem to know exactly how to wear clothes that fit: Is it really that hard to know whether or not you should be wearing a body-clinging tanktop, or a super low-cut shirt? for many of you, the answer is YES. To avoid being mean, let's just say that many of you should dress to flatter your body, not betray it. I don't see most obese dudes wearing half shirts and low-rise jeans. This is because they know that they look RIDICULOUS. Just because clothes are fashionable, doesn't mean they are for everyone. It is embarassing for you and all of your friends to dress in this manner. I am not advocating that all girls need to be stick thin or anything like that. People come in all shapes and sizes, so it is important to know how to dress for your particular size and shape. I wouldn't wear a skin-tight hollister shirt, because I would look disgusting. So, ladies, remember that the next time you attempt to squeeze into clothing made for 12 year olds.


These are just a few examples. Tomorrow I will discuss some of the annoying things that my fellow guys do that piss me off, and embarrass my gender.


Peace Love and Understanding
