Stupidity

Overlooking the recent Myspace bulletins that my friends have posted online, I came across this stupid, yet frequent chain. “What a Woman Means”. I look at these posts and think, “seriously? how can this apply to all women!” so i decided to copy and paste it, then write my own comments to each of the arguments on this chain.

When a girl is mean to you after a break-up
she wants you back but she is too
scared she’ll get hurt and knows
you’re gone forever!

• Okay, this is slightly true. For me at least. But there also times where I don’t want to talk to a guy after a break-up because I honestly didn’t want a thing to do with him anymore. It all depends on the situation. I would think that a break-up means “gone forever”, isn’t that the point?

when you catch a girl glancing at you,
she wants you to look back
and smile

• On some level yes. I do look at guys I am interested in. Sometimes I want the guy to look back at me, just to see if he likes me back, but there are times where if he looks at you and smiles, it’s kind of weird. It becomes awkward because a girl (well at least I do) feels that she’s been caught and he now knows that the girl likes him, defeating the point of stealing glances.

When a girl bumps into your arm,
while walking with you
she wants
you to hold her hand

• This is a big no for me. According to my best friend, I am a magnet. Meaning that when I walk, I tend to walk towards those that I am with. Half of the time, our arms bump because I continue to walk closer and closer, not because I want to hold hands. For me, if i honestly wanted to hold hands with someone, i would try and have our hands lightly hit each other or something, not arm bumping. That’s lame.

When she wants a hug
she will just stand there

• No No No No NO! If i want a hug, the easiest way to make sure the other person knows this is to hold out your hands and just walk up to them and hug them. Seriously how is just standing there a symbol to hug a person. That’s honestly the LAMEST thing i have ever heard.

When u break a girls heart
she still feels it when
you run into each other 3 years later

• This is one of the few that i agree with. There is one of my ex boyfriends who I run into occasionally, and each time, the feelings come back and i remember how he hurt me and how i let myself become attached.

When a girl is quiet,
millions of things are running through her
mind..

• True, but there are other times that we are quiet because we actually have nothing on our mind as well. One cannot assume that there is something on our mind every time a girl is quiet. That’d be like saying that every time a guy slouches and holds on to his belt-loop, he’s thinking of sex. [I got that from the movie Simply Irresistible]

When a girl is not arguing,
she is thinking deeply,,

• uh no. This is assuming that women always argue. Like, no matter what, a woman must be arguing otherwise she is thinking on how to argue. This is stupid and discriminatory against women. It’s just a stupid male complaining that the women in his life complain too much, but maybe if they didn’t do stupid shit, then the women wouldn’t nag him as much. Get over it. Everyone argues. That’s how arguments start. One person cannot be fighting with herself, you’ve got to be arguing too.

When a girl looks at you with eyes full of
questions,
she is wondering how long you will be
around

• no, we are wondering what’s on his mind. Or what’s for dinner. or hell, we’re thinking when he’s going to kiss us. Half of the time, women get so wrapped up in their dreams of the perfect relationship, they seem to forget the possibility of the relationship ending. This is another assuming that men always tend to leave. Which isn’t always the case. Women really honestly do not worry all that much. If they trust you, they wouldn’t wonder how long you’re going to stay. If their eyes look like they are full of questions, chances are, she’s probably wanting to ask you tons of questions. Surprised?! yea, i bet.

When a girl answers, “I’m fine,” after a
few seconds,
she is not at all fine

• Most of the time, i guess this could be true. But at the same time, who says that she isn’t paying attention to something other than what you’re asking and it just takes her a bit to realize you asked her “are you okay?”

When a girl stares at you,
she is wondering why you are playing games

• Uh no. We stare for many reasons. Here are just a few we like you, we think you’re hot, we think you’re stupid, we think you are being weird, we love you, we want you to kiss us, we want to go home there is no way in hell you can guarantee that a girl who is staring at a man is wondering why he’s playing games. What if the girl doesn’t even know this guy she’s staring at, obviously this wouldn’t be true.

When a girl lays her head on your chest,
she is wishing for you to be hers forever

• this could be true. Or it could also means she’s tired. The latter being the more prominent answer. Sure, a girl might think sometimes while listening to his heart that she wants to be “his” forevers, but at the same time, she could easily not be thinking this. I used to put my head on my guy’s chest during movies, and we broke up weeks later, I obviously wasn’t thinking i wanted to be his forever. It was just the comfiest place to rest my head.

When a girl says she can’t live
without you,
she has made up her mind that you are
her future

• sure, but at the same time, i say that to my friends as well, but that doesn’t mean i’m going to give up dating so i can be with them. No way! I think the only time this statement would be true was if she proposed right afterwards

When a girl says, “I miss you,”
no one in this world can miss you more
than that

• sometimes this is true. I once told a boyfriend i missed him when he went to hawaii for two weeks, and at the time i felt that no one could’ve missed him more. But at the same time, i say i miss you to many people. Just like the above comment, some things depend on who the girl is speaking to

–Guy Facts:

When a guy calls you,
he wants to be with you

• this is stupid, and I’m not even a guy. I know plenty of guys who call me because they want to know a phone number for one of my friends, or want to know the name of a movie. If a guy wants to be with you, he should just say “i want to be with you, want to hang out” or something like that.

When a guy is quiet,
He’s listening to you…

• Sure, or he’s bored. You never know. If he’s listening, he’ll be quiet, maybe nod his head a bit, make a few comments to your rantings, and he’ll look at you. Just because he is quiet means he’s looking at you.

When a guy is not arguing,
He realizes he’s wrong

• Or he’s sick of arguing. I know a guy who says “you are correct” when he is fed up with the arguments, and even though he doesn’t think he is wrong, he just wants to end the argument.

When a guy says, “I’m fine after a few
minutes
he means it

• oh but when a girl says it, she’s really not. This is gender discrimination shit. I don’t even want to get into this, that would take up an entire post and maybe more to describe. I consider myself to be an independent woman [yes, like the song] and i HATE it when people assume women are completely different than males.

When a guy stares at you,
he wishes you would care about him and
wonders if you do

• or he could be thinking that you are being stupid. Just like the female version of this, he could be staring at you for so many things, not just wondering if we care etc.

When your laying your head on a guy’s
chest,
he has the world

• that’s what all women would like to think. But at the same time, the guy could be irritated that you are cutting of his air supply, or he wants to shift, but cant because you are comfortable.

When a guy calls/texts/comments/messages you everyday,
he is in love

• once again. NO! believe me, i know this one. I talked to this guy every day for 2 months, and i got nothing out of it. He liked this 16 year old, and i was just a friend. Same with this other guy. We’ve been messaging everyday for a week, we just met and I’m pretty sure, it’s too soon for love. haha

When a (good) guy tells you he loves you,
he means it

• good guy? but no bad guy could possibly mean it either right? oh and what constitutes a good guy. Sure a girl may think, “oh this guy is the greatest, nicest guy i’ve ever met” but then she could easily find out he was cheating on her and was only using her. There is no possible way to tell if a guy is good or bad. It could easily change. A person only sees what they want to see.

When a guy says he can’t live without you,
he’s with you till your done

• nope, a guy told me this. A week later, he dumped me. Enough said

When a guy says, “I miss you,”
he misses you more than you could have
ever missed him or anything else

• nope. Remember that guy i mentioned about messaging every day and liking a 16 year old. Yeah, he said I miss you, yet he doesn’t even remember the week I’m home for spring break. That sounds like real missing there, doesn’t it?

repost this in 10 minutes and your true
love will
call you

• i’m sure this is true. what the fuck? seriously,no one can guarantee that this person you will love for the rest of your life will call you. Half of the people who read this haven’t met their soul-mate yet anyway.

if you don’t,you will die unhappy..

• because a bulletin can predict how you are going to live your life. This is almost as bad as the, “if you don’t post this you will be killed in the middle of the night” yea.

was there someone in your mind as you read this??

• sure, the idiotic creators of this stupid chain

Post this as:

IF YOU’RE A GUY “When a girl MISSES You”

AND

IF YOU’RE A GIRL POST IT AS girl facts—
“when a boy misses you”

Get where I am coming from? This shit is unbelievable

Love, Layna
