Girl Double-Standards

*Before we start let me make it clear that this doesn't apply to all women and remember that these blogs are just for fun and entertainment.  If anyone (male or female) gets offended by what I write, you don't have to read my material and you're more then welcome to write your own.  In fact, if your work isn't complete garbage, I'd be more then happy to link it to my readers.  Secondly, (or thirdly i guess) if you get offended by my writing, you're most likely just proving my point or maybe what I write is really true. 


Most of us have standards embedded into our minds on what is right and wrong.  Because of this fact, many of us are blind to our faults and tend to develop hypocritical traits.  Due to the fact that I am perfect (*Not proven) I don't have any double standards (*also unproven).  However, as a man, I have seen my fair share of double standards from the fairer sex.  With that I bring to you My Top Five Girl Double Standards. 

NUMBER 5

GOING OUT

How many guys out there have girlfriends/wives?  Have you ever told them that you were going out with the guys and they started interrogating you?  How long are you gonna be out? When are you gonna be home?  Does Virgil REALLY need to go with you?  It's funny because the majority of the time (as far as most of my guy friends) we end up just hanging out, chopping it up, and chilling.  It's good to have time away to just talk to your "bros" and hear other unintelligent ramblings.  I've heard girls tell me how worried they are that their man is going out to the club and parties and is probably cheating on her.  The main reason why guys go to clubs and parties is to hook up.  Whoever tells you otherwise is full of it.  Why else would single guys willingly go to a smelly and hot place to have girls grind up on them?  The thing is, if your man is doing these things, its either for attention or maybe he does wanna cheat on you.  The funny thing is that while girls get mad at guys for going out and assuming they're doing these things, these things are usually what girls wanna do when they go out!  Woo ladies night! Let's PaAaAaArTaY!  We get the third degree for wanting to hang out but all of a sudden we're some jealous monster if we question your activities?

Guy Going Out

Boy: Gonna go out baby with the guys.

Girl: Oh. Really? Where?

Boy: Probably to Alex' house.  Not too sure exactly whats going on.  I'll let you know though.

Girl: Who's gonna be there?  What exactly are you guys gonna do?  Will there be any girls? How come I'm not invited?  Is Sheilah/Jenny/Alexandria/Shaniqua gonna be there?

Boy: Baby relax!  We're probably gonna just chill, maybe have a drink, and play some cards.  Iono.  Why you trippin?

Girl: OH SO NOW I'M TRIPPIN? Should I have a reason to trip?  Is that what you're saying?  Why do you have to drink?  And you never answered me on whether or not there'll be any girls!  I'm not good enough to play cards with?  Is that why I'm not invited?  Is there something thats happening that you don't want me to know about?  SQUAWK SQUAWK SQUAWK.

Girl Going Out

Boy: Hey baby. Wow you look all dolled up! Where you going?

Girl: OMG WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO JEALOUS!

Sensing a little difference here..

NUMBER 4

DRESS CODE

I'm not gonna lie that I believe "if you've got it, flaunt it."  There's nothing wrong (in my opinion) with showing off your hard work and dedication and being proud of what you've accomplished.  However, I do think that there's a fine line between proud and attention-whoring (don't care if it's not necessarily a real word.)  A lot of girls like to go out with short skirts, or if they wanna be presentable, skin tight pants.  Their tops are just as bad with..well..look at the picture I posted.  I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with that, but if you're taken I think maybe you could exercise a little more precaution.  How often have you heard girls get upset that a guy is just looking at me like I'm some piece of meat!  Well, if you weren't parading yourself around with your thong showing, maybe they'd give you a little more respect!  Ladies, I understand that many of you feel the need to feel sexy, but is the perverted eyes of watchful dogs really worth it?  It's amazing how defensive girls get when we criticize their clothing, yet how upset they get when a little bit of our skin is shown!  I've heard girls flip their lid over tank-tops (clothing that many carpenters use), muscle shirts (oOoOo that show off our arms) and even those douchey v-neck shirts!  We're trying to gain the attention of all of these women right?  Because they're obviously looking down our tank-tops trying to see our belly button huh?  The male equivalent of some of the way you women dress would be us walking around in our skivvies with a see through vest.  Yet, we're wrong for dressing with a little skin showing while you're parading around with more body out then covered?

Totally inappropriate..

NUMBER 3

LYING

I usually don't condone lying (except for in certain situations) but everyone slips once in awhile.  Majority of the time, it's not done maliciously but regardless, a lie is a lie right?  I'd love to believe that we live in a world where spouses can be truthful with eachother all the time, but there are a few fuzzy points that need clarification.  For instance, if your lady asks "Do I need to lose weight?"  How would you reply?  If your woman is in great shape, good for you!  If your woman needs to lose a couple of pounds, well, you're in a sticky situation my friend.  If you're honest, hope you enjoy sleeping on the couch!  If you tell her she doesn't, then you've just lied and according to many girls, and I'm quoting: "GuUuRL! You needa DUMP that lying fool!"  Sorry for the similarities to Mr. T, but my point still stands!  Many women like to make a fuss over small things and justify it by saying this is how it starts but they lie to us so nonchalantly!  I've been in way too many situations where a girl just kind of brushed their shoulders off when they lie to their men.  Oh it's only just this once or well, he did this before so he shouldn't get mad!  Being vindictive does not make it okay.  I've heard that it's just a white lie, or that the truth hurts worse, but why is it that you insist we do the exact opposite of what you're doing?  Can any women out there justify why it's okay for you to lie to us, but not okay vice-versa?  For those that can, thank you.  You've just proven the double-standard.

NUMBER 2

JEALOUSY

For those that don't clearly understand what the word Jealousy means, click this wikipedia entry.  Done?  I'm not saying there's really anything wrong with being jealous because oftentimes it's a feeling that we can't help but to have.  However, I think it's wrong when it ends up becoming a problem for a couple.  For instance, how many guys out there have had their women flip out because they see a girl in their call log?  Or possibly leave a comment on their Facebook?  Almost instantly the barrage of questions starts flowing.  Who is she?  Where is she from?  How do you know her?  What's your history?  The moment that you question why she's being jealous, she instantly has a comeback (usually involving us now giving her a reason to be jealous).  Majority of the time, most of these girls are really just friends.  This jealousy stems from our ladies insecurities and they like to believe that it's somehow our fault.  Shouldn't you ladies be happy that something about your man is desireable to other women?  On the other side though, when we question even the slightest thing, we're pegged as being jealous jerks.  Uh Oh! Looks like another boy/girl convo!

Guy Side

Girl: So, I saw a text you got from this girl Jenny the other day.
Boy: Oh yeah she's an old friend. Wait, how'd you see that?
Girl: So, how come I've never met her?
Boy: Iono.  She found me on facebook. Seriously though, how'd you know? Were you going through my phone?
Girl: Don't change the subject! She wrote on August 1st, at 5:02 pm ~ "We should hang out again. Catch up on things..."  What does she mean? Huh? Catch Up?
Boy: Umm..I think she means she wants to ya know.  Catch up?  Like see how life has been?
Girl: You used to like her didn't you!?  Why do you always hide these things from me!? I saw her put at the end of catch up on things dot dot dot.  What is she referring to?   Is she implying something?  And before you say anything, I'M NOT JEALOUS. 

Girl Side

Boy: Hey baby who you chatting with?
Girl: Hold on, I'm talking to Tyler.
Boy: Oh okay. Who's Tyler?
Girl: He's a friend okay? JUST A FRIEND.
Boy: Sorry just wondering.  Oh the one who keeps calling you beautiful on Facebook?
Girl: Why you going through my page?  You keeping tabs on me?  You don't trust me? 
Boy: No its not that.  I was gonna leave you a comment and thought it was kinda weird that some random guy was calling you beautiful knowing you had a man.
Girl: Ugh well maybe he's just appreciating my beauty did you ever think that?  And even if he likes me so what?  It's not like I'm gonna do anything with him anyways! Oh speaking of Tyler, we're gonna go out later and get some drinks.
Boy: I don't know how comfortable I am with..
Girl: That is so like you to be jealous and controlling! I'm a grown woman and you need to grow up too!

yeah that sounds about right..

how bout that drumroll..

NUMBER 1

FLIRTING

Flirting is another touchy subject and is more opinionated then anything else.  My rule is that if I feel wrong about the way I'm talking, then it probably is wrong.  On the other hand, if I don't see anything wrong with what I'm doing, then either someone needs to show me why it's wrong, or I'm gonna continue.  I've read that when you're single, it's considered being friendly; when you're taken, it's flirting.  I don't really agree with that statement but I can understand what they're trying to get at.  Guys sometimes see their girl flirting with other guys and it's kind of obvious when it's happening.  Some touching, lot of laughs and eye contact, and the guy pretending to be jerky causing the girl to respond as such in a playful manner.  Of course, whenever this is brought to their attention, guys are just being paranoid/jealous/jerks.  The moment a guy has a conversation with a girl, it's instantly flirting.  I've been called a flirt before because I made a girl laugh.  Apparently I'm constantly flirting with my guy friends since I always make them laugh right?  I've also been accused for flirting because I offered a snack to a girl while also offering a snack to everyone else around. 

This isn't to say that guys don't flirt and are unaware, it's just that majority of the time what is seen as flirting isn't what we as guys are intending for (at least in my case).  I know for a fact that a lot of my guy friends knowingly flirt while they are taken and I know that nothing will come from their flirting, but their women let their insecurities get the best of them.  The one thing that I want to get across is that if women have the right to be upset at their men flirting, don't be vindictive and try to flirt with other guys because it really just makes you look childish.  For the women reading this let's be honest, haven't you heard a girlfriend of yours say Oh he thinks he can just flirt with any girl out there huh?  I'm gonna go call (random guy name) and see how he's been!  Anybody?  The best part about it is that majority of the time, their girlfriends are egging them on!  Yeah he can't mistreat you or not appreciate you!  Maybe you needa find a man who will!  MmmMm HmmMm!

Guys do you agree?  Better yet, how about you ladies?  Once again, this is just made for fun so don't take it so seriously..Thanks for reading!
