The Truth About Boys & Girls

Here's the thing about boys and girls - they're both crazy in their own way. Recently, I've learned that we all see things differently. Most importantly, boys see things differently than girls and vice versa.  So what makes us so different?

Boys: they see things as direct. They don't really see the subtle hints or relational aspects of things. I have known pretty much every male stereotype and it doesn't really change at all. This is why a lot of girls call boys "dumb". For example, if a boy and a girl go out as friends and the guy buys the food, the guy might just see it as him being nice and a good friend. The girl might see it as "oh my gosh, he's buying my food?? what does this mean?! " Or another example is when a girl likes the guy and everyone and their brother can tell EXCEPT for the guy. Why? Because that guy doesn't really get the subtle hints that the girl drops. He might not be interested in her as more than a friend or even think she's interested in him like that.

Girls: we are the opposite. While a boy might see just what something is, girls see EVERYTHING else on the planet. We over think and over analyze everything! A lot of girls do this because they're insecure of themselves, even if who they are is so amazing! This is why boys call us "crazy". We're not crazy! Girls get emotional (both positively and negatively) all of the time. If you think you get the short end of the stick, try living with 5 other girls your own age. (p.s. - I love my roommates! But we all do get crazy, myself included hahaha) We just feel things way differently than guys do. For example, say a guy texts the girl first. Sure, it MIGHT mean that he is interested in the girl as more than a friend. But if the girl is using that one time he texted her first as the basis of their entire nonexistent relationship, she might need to calm it down.

So the next time you call a boy dumb or a girl crazy, try to realize that it's a lot more than that! We don't see things the same.

**Sometimes, there are just some dumb guys and crazy girls. I can't really explain what their problem is....but overall, there's a general explanation behind everyone's behavior.**
