60 Things Most Girls Don't Know

Summer school started and there's been a lot of assignments so I've had less time to myself and all that. Anyhow, I stumbled across this list... (I already posted this on my Facebook but I'm not feeling creative today. Forgive me.)
My own comments are in italics.
- Guys hate sluts even though they have sex with them. Sluts are fun for one night, but no guy in his right mind would ever date one.
- "Hey, are you busy?" or "Are you doing something?" are the two phrases guys open a conversation with to stop from stammering on the phone.
- Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about.
- Before they call, guys try to plan out a little about what they're going to say so there isn't awkward pauses, but once he's on the phone he forgets it all and makes it up as he goes.
- Guys go crazy over a girl's smile.
- Guys will do anything just to get you to notice him.
- Guys hate it when you talk about your ex-boyfriend or ex love-interest. They may not admit it right away, but this drives them mad with jealousy. (I need to stop doing this.)
- A guy who likes you wants to be the only guy you talk to.
- Boyfriends need to be reassured often that they're still loved.
- Don't talk about your guy friends to your boyfriend. (I need to stop doing this too.)
- Guys get jealous easily.
- Guys are more emotional than they'd like people to think.
- Giving a guy a hanging message like "You know what? Uh...never mind.." would make him jump to a conclusion that is far from what you are thinking. And he'll assume he did something wrong and he'll obsess about it trying to figure it out.
- Guys are good flatterers when courting but they usually stammer when they talk to a girl they really like.
- Guys hate asking parents for money to buy girls presents. So they come up with ideas like saving their lunch money for a week. But it never works because guys are always hungry so they end up asking the parents for money anyway.
- Girls are guys' weaknesses.
- Guys are very open about themselves.
- It's good to test a guy first before you trust him. But don't let him wait too long.
- Your best friend, whom your boyfriend seeks help from about his problems with you may end up being admired by your boyfriend. (Shit. I'm never introducing a close girl friend to a crush/boyfriend now.)
- If a guy tells you about his problems, he just needs someone to listen to him. You don't need to give advice.
- A usual act that proves that the guy likes you is when he teases you.
- Guys love you more than you love them if they are serious in your relationships.
- Guys will brag about anything. Including their girlfriend.
- Guys use words like hot or cute to describe girls. We rarely use beautiful. If a guy uses that, he likes you a whole hell of a lot.
- Guys think WAY too much. One small thing a girl does, even if she doesn't notice it can make the guy think about it for hours, trying to figure out what it meant.
- Guys seek for advice from girls not other guys. Because most guys think alike, so if one guy's confused, then we're all confused.
- Any guy could write out a rulebook or advice book for flirting, but no guy can write out a book about relationships.
- Try to be as straightforward as possible.
- A guy has to experience rejection, because if he's too-good-never-been-busted, never been in love and hurt, he won't be mature and grown up. (But I find it hard to reject a guy a like.
) - If the guy does something stupid in front of the girl, he will think about it for the next couple days or until the next time he spends time with the girl.
- No matter how much guys talk about asses and boobs, personality is key.
- Guys learn from experience not from the romance books that girls read and take as their basis of experience.
- Guys worry about the thin line between being compassionate and being whipped. (I don't understand this.)
- If a guy looks unusually calm and laid back, he's probably faking it and is spazzing inside.
- When a guy says he is going crazy about the girl, he really is. Guys rarely say that.
- When a guy asks you to leave him alone, he's just actually saying, "Please come and listen to me."
(Now this isn't necessarily true. When a guy says "Leave me alone", let him be for a few minutes and when he's ready to talk, he'll settle down somewhere and look at you often to get your attention. Once he's ready, he'll want a girl to walk over, lower her voice and say to him quietly "It'll be ok...You're still the best in my book...etc") - Guys don't really have final decisions.
- If a guy starts to talk seriously, listen to him. It doesn't happen that often, so when it does, you know something's up.
- If your best guy friend seems to avoid you or is never around when you're with your boyfriend, he's probably jealous and likes you.
- When a guy looks at you for longer than a second, he's definitely thinking something. ("She has a pimple on her face ZOMG!" Well, that or sex.)
- Guys like femininity not feebleness.
- Guys don't like girls who punch harder than they do.
- A guy has more problems than you can see with your naked eyes.
- Don't be a snob. Guys can be intimidated and give up easily.
- Everything in moderation. Put on makeup, wear perfume. Just not too much. (But lots of cake-faces have boyfriends...)
- Guys talk about girls more than girls talk about guys.
- Guys hate rejection, but they hate being led on even more.
- Guys really think that girls are strange and have unpredictable decisions and are MAD confusing but somehow are drawn even more to them.
- A guy would give his left nut to be able to read a girl's mind for a day.
- No guy can handle all his problems on his own. He's just too stubborn to admit it.
- Not all guys are assholes. Just because ONE is a jackass doesnt mean he represents ALL of us. (Does that mean I'm just super unlucky or something?)
- We don't like girls who are too skinny.
- We love it when girls talk about their boobs. (Yes I'm always complaining about them being too small. Love that?)
- Always make sure you know what kind of stuff your getting into before making out with a guy ...like whether it's a one time deal or not... (Something I never do. But I'll try.)
- Believe it or not shy guys are the most easiest to talk to..it may not seem right but trust me they will start opening up like books after you just ask them questions about their lives and unoticable tell them about yours...
- Even if they refuse it all guys are ticklish on the ribs..
- Guys love neck rubs and if he lets you keep doing it...it means that he really likes you or his neck really hurts...
- Guys will test the waters to see how far they can get with you. Even if he doesn't intend to it will happen. Know how far it is you want to let him go and he will respect that...after you let him know a couple times.
- When a guy sacrifices his sleep and health just to be with you, he really likes you and wants to be with you as much as possible.
- (LOL where did #60 go? I honestly don't know.)
I actually learnt a lot from that. Though some of them are a little depressing for me: #3, #19 and #29. Men are so hard to please!

A usual act that proves that the guy likes you is when he teases you.
Oh my, does that mean my best friend likes me? Because he teases me a lot
Guys don't like girls who punch harder than they do.
I should stop punching them more often xP -
Amanda: Really? But the guys who've read this said they agree with most of it.
-
Although I'm not a guy, I can promise you a lot of that isn't true. If a guy actually wrote this, then he is one of those 1% minority guys.
-
P.S. Why are you still running on non-daylight saving time?! :O
-
Really now? My guy friends said a lot of that is true. Lol I'm not running on non-daylight saving time I was just too lazy to implement the auto DST-detect thing into my time() functions.
-
You know, like most lists, I'm sure 90% of this isn't true... or maybe I'm just offended because I'm feeble physically.
-
Lol I don't get why you girls are saying it's not true while the guys have responded saying it's really true!
-
I think *some* of it is true, for *some* people. You really can't generalize, obviously.
But it was a nice read! -
Hmm...I'll send this list to Jock, Rilla & then I will email it to you with his comments. Ok?
Oh, I guess I should explain who Jock is. Jock is my closest & dearest male friend, not boyfriend just friend. I think he will get a kick out of this list. This way you can have another males comments from a man that you don't even know.
Personally, I agree with some and disagree with some others. But I am thinking I may borrow the list and make my own entry on Amarantine. May I? -
xD I think generalizing anything is always a bad idea. I'm sure that list is true for a lot of guys, but saying its true for most or all guys would probably be a stretch.
-
Well, I think it was quite helpful. Now I realize that I've been stupid. =\ You're right, it's a bit depressing.
Some of it is very funny though. XD Like#15 and #26.
In response to #51 ... you may not be unlucky. Perhaps you are just a jerk-magnet. =\ I have this girlfriend, who really has a thing going for jerks ... like ALL her boyfriends, AND the guys she likes, have been jerks. It's strange, and rather unhealthy.
And LOL, "cake-faces" ... haha, Rilla you are so cute XD -
Em ... I should talk about my boobs more? Wow, and here I am, always talking about physics or computers or something with guys. Silly girl.
-
Yeah I agree we shouldn't generalise. That's why I show my guy friends this list and each of them can tell me if they agree or not.
Hev you've told me about Jock before. And yes feel free since I didn't write it.
-
I think all those things have a bit of truth in it, but how much truth depends on the guys. Like everyone else said, can't generalise for every person, not everyones the same =P
The one about compassionate and being whipped... have you heard of guys being pussy-whipped? As in they do whatever the girlfriend says, the girlfriend is completely the boss of him... so that's like, the line between caring and doing things for her out of your will and doing things for her because you're whipped =P
Some of these made me think a bit about my own friendships and some things I see in people or that's happened to me... it's pretty interesting and fun to think about actually =D -
As a lot of people have said, I'm sure this is true for a lot of guys and not others. It was an interesting read though
-
That's cute
I wished guys these days (or at least the ones I meet) thought like that. -
As a guy, I'll say that I find a lot of that personally true, but I also get the sense that it's one of horoscope-esque lists (id est, you fill find truth in it if you sort of squint and interpret things how you are inclined to interpret them.) It's mostly just vague enough to work. Although the punching thing, that's true.
I can attest to moments of insane jealousy at the mention of guy friends, ex-love interests and so on, as well as a tendency to over-interpret and then outrageously misinterpret things which Leila will claim are entirely innocuous. I also need to reassured of love probably far too often...
Some of this seems like hogwash to me...I've certainly never planned out a phone conversation. Also, I can't say I love conversation about boobs. Particularly if the conversation is "mine aren't big enough." Trust me, they are.
