One thing that bugs me about some guys whether they are straight or gay is that they think that they know the female mind inside and out. Some guys profess to know the secret to what makes a woman tick (her emotions, right?). However, I will give them the benefit of the doubt because there are times when they admit to not having a clue at all as to what girls are thinking. But they know about 98.5% of the time (or so they think).
I have recently started doing a case study on the male mind, so that I too, although a girl, may master the art of the male mind and get one step ahead. Today, I will interpret “boy speak” for the common nun. This will act as a guide for how to talk to a guy without hyperventilating during the process . . .
So, when a guy really likes a girl, he is sometimes not very sure what to say or how to act around her. Girls, do not get initially offended. He just really does not know what to say to you because he has been listening to this all day from his other guy friends:
Imaginary Guy - Girls say one thing and when they always mean something else.
Imaginary Guy - Girls don’t know what they want
Imaginary Guy -Girls are gold diggers
Imaginary Guy -Girls are teases
My interpretation of these statements comes out to this: some guys are afraid of girls because we are naturally indecisive. Naturally, this indecision will cause us to only have intentions of breaking their hearts. I would be afraid too if I was a guy and only had this sort of guidance to go off of, so that when a guy finally gets his courage up to talk to us, it comes out like Duke Orcino’s comment to Olivia in the movie, She’s the Man:
Dater Dan- Do you like Cheese?
(I’m just kidding)
Or he says something even more greatly offensive like
Dater Dan- Why are you wearing that shirt?
My studies of boy speak have determined that there is a miscommunication among genders. Although he is not trying to be mean; he is somehow mean, at least according to a girl! Many girls would not even ask another girl why she was wearing a certain something because girls just don’t do that because:
Imaginary Guy - all girls like to gossip.
According to “boy speak,” everything is simpler when you are a guy because you don’t get angry about stupid little things. You don’t fight over girls and end friendships because of them, and if you did, you would be friends the next day like nothing had happened.
Many guys believe that girls are ruled by their emotions:
Dater Jan- Sorry that I was being emotional tonight, I was stressed about school.
Dater Dan- It’s ok. You’re just being a girl.
Dater Jan-What’s that supposed to mean?
Dater Dan- Girls are emotional and crazy.
Nuns, instead of feeling like you are being attacked or generalized in these situations, first think about the male mind and the ease that comes with that way of thinking. Many girls would benefit from just not getting angry and dramatic about every little comment that is made about them that is most times unintentionally mean.
The purpose of these scenarios is to show nuns that we actually do have the upper hand on the guy that we like because he really actually is just as nervous as you are to date even though he is big, and strong, and tough, and a baller . . . (the list goes on). If we know how they think and we enlighten them on how we think, think of how less awkward dealing with members of the opposite gender would be!
This is where nuns come in to save the day and to help their guy friends know how to talk to a girl without being . . . offensive(?) If you currently have a friend who is of a different gender than your own, consult them the next time you open your mouth to speak or choose to get offended at a comment that could easily be brushed off.
