I'm human, I admit I'm guilty of it too.
We girls accuse guys of being shallow, perverted, and closed minded.
They only like big boobs, they only like small boobs, they like thin girls, they don't like thin girls, they like blondes, they like brunettes, they stare at my butt, they flirt with my best friends, they ignore me in front of their friends, they talk about nothing but sex, they use every girl.
You've probably said at least half of those statements in the past month (heck, probably even the past week).
I'm not denying that men can't be pigs, but we're not innocent ourselves. In fact, we can be quite shallow, sometimes just as much or more than guys.
Girls have a lot of preferences as far as looks go. Of course, it's not always a requirement that you must go out with someone who fits your perfect appearance criteria, but it can sometimes affect how you act romantically around other people. Besides, who HASN'T melted and ran to their friends when they see a gorgeous guy walking down the hall?
We have hormones, too. We like tall guys, we like muscular guys, we like guys with blue eyes, we giggle with our friends about what nice butts they have. We even look at other guys (and [gasp] flirt!) when we have a boyfriend. For every male that has used you, there's a female out there using an innocent boy.
So next time you're crying about the latest loser-boy who flirted with the stereotypical blonde ditz, remember that you could be breaking someone's heart, too.

^^Well said. Humans are superficial. This is why we have threads that ask what we find attractive on guys. And really, for a relationship to fully form, you probably do have to find a guy at least somewhat attractive. Girls get crushes even when they have boyfriends, but suddenly a guy glances at a girl out of the corner of her eye, and it's the doghouse for him. Great post  |

You make a really good point. I've always thought that guys kinda get the raw end of this deal.  However, if you think about it, guys do this same thing too. "Girls are too b*tchy" "Women nag too much" "Chicks aren't worth the effort" "Girls are too stuck up" These are all comments from guys...pretty common ones. I'm not trying to defend females or anything, because I know we're very hypocritical about this, but it works both ways. Like RebDoMINe said, it's kind of natural...human superficiality. |

A lot of my friends are guys, and they don't complain half as much about girls as girls complain about guys. That's not to say they don't give the occasional "girls are too much trouble," but 90% of the time they're content talking about computers and video games.
My english teacher did the perfect impression of the difference between girls and guys. Check this out:
Girls:
"So I went on this date last night, and he had his hair cut kind of short, with a little bit of gel just on the top, and it was kind of turned up in the front. And he had this shirt, with this plaid shirt over it, and these pants that weren't too loose, but not too tight, and they had the white stitching, not the gold, and these new white sneakers..."
Guys:
"Dude, was she hot?"
"Yeah."

Lisa, I completely agree with you. In fact, I recently wrote about this subject in my journal. I'll get the link to it and post it later. But anyway, yes, EVERYONE judges by looks. It's human nature to do so. Not everyone has the same tastes in regards to the preferred sex, but there are always going to be people who you find physically attractive and unattractive.

Oh, I know. Guys just don't really care as much about all the petty little things we girls care about. I was just saying, guys *do* complain about girls, not as much, maybe, but they do. But yeah, you're right, girls tend to complain and overanalyze things a little more. Also, this is a little off topic, but it reminded me of Lisa's english teacher. My world history teacher was talking about culture and mannerisms and greetings: "I see tons of examples of this walking through the halls of ***** High. For instance, you have the guy head nod. The, 'I'll lift my chin a little, because I really am happy to see you, but I'm too cool to actually show it'. Then you have the teenage girl greeting, where they jump up and down, go 'Aiieee!!!' and hug each other and act like they haven't seen each other in 10 years." OK, carry on. |

Yep, you're right. We shouldn't keep blaming the boys. Yes we do accuse of the males of being overly perverted... but I am quite sure that females can be just as perverted. It's just that most aren't as open about it (from what I've seen). And of COURSE I go all googly-eyed whenever I see a drop-dead gorgeous guy. What normal girl wouldn't? We are just as shallow as guys. We enjoy nice-looking people. Just like any guy would. Heh, but you put everything very nicely. It's all so very true. I think all those things you talked about are things EVERY human is guilty of doing, regardless of gender. |

You all have good posts. I agree with you all.
I was just thinking about this topic, but more about personality.
My friend said "Why do all the guys I like turn out to be assholes?"
What makes her think she is so nice? The only things I've heard her say about the guy she likes are bad things behind his back. She laughs at him and says horrible things about him behind his back.
She is just as bad as him, only worse because she points out his faults behind his back. At least he has the guts to say things he means to her face. He tells the truth, and he puts it pretty nicely, considering he isn't saying something nice to her.

Something I'm guilty of is about 2 months ago this guy liked me but I told him that "I didn't want a boyfriend right now" and then he asked "well if you did want one would you go out with me?" Ahhhh, VERY unfair question if you ask me. And stupid stupid me said "ah, yea I guess", and his response was "YES, sorry I'm just happy...but YES!!!"  Yes I felt bad about giving him false hope.  |

However, if you think about it, guys do this same thing too.
