Boys Are Stupid

And yes, I do mean all boys. They all act like they are so straightforward, but in reality they play as many mind games as girls do. Except all their games involve as many different ways to fuck girls over as possible. I mean this literally and figuratively. Being genetically programmed to think with your dick does not excuse asshole behavior, nor should it. Now, I'm not saying that all guys should commit to the next girl they see; what I am saying is that they should at least have the decency to be honest about what they want.

How many of us know someone that has had a guy lead them on? How many of us have been victims of this? What guys don't realize is that they aren't just being selfish, they are causing actual emotional pain. And that isn't something that can be undone. It builds up and eats away at someone until it is almost impossible to function in any relationship, even a healthy one. Girls are fragile creatures. Some may call us too emotional, or too dramatic, but just as boys are programmed to be overtly sexual, girls are programmed to feel. We let things get to us. It's the simple truth. On the other hand, boys are masters of deception. They lie. They lie because they think the truth isn't good enough. They lie because they think it's the easiest way to get in a girl's pants. They lie because they think it's okay. It's not okay.

Girls, listen up. It's time we realize that 99% of the boys out there are not worth our time, our tears, our love. We are all strong, independent women who don't need boys to make us seem important, or loved. It's time we realize we can do anything we set our minds to. Anything. And once we learn to love ourselves, that's when the right man will come into our lives. The one who respects us, makes us laugh, is loyal to us, truthful to us, and loves us for us, not our bodies or what we have to offer.

Texting 101: Texting the Opposite Sex

So let's face it, texting is an important component of any relationship. It's basically our modern day version of carrier pigeons. Minus the feathers and bird poop, of course. And trust me, I know how inconvenient bird poop is but that's another story. One that I won't be divulging any time soon.

Now, personally I believe texting is most important when you're texting a new acquaintance that you want to impress with your wit and humor. Since these people have no idea how interesting you are, or aren't, you are pretty much working with a blank slate. When in this situation, it is important to remember the following rules:

1. BE CHILL. This is extremely imperative. You don't want the person you're texting to think you are crazy. Nothing makes people want to take off running in the opposite direction more than the thought that they are texting a psycho bitch. Here's an example of a definite no-no:

• If they don't respond as quickly as you'd like, DON'T text back in a pestering manner asking them where they are or why they haven't responded. If the person you're texting looks at their inbox and sees 12 messages from you that resemble this: "Hey" "Hey?" "You there?" "Hello...?" "Where u at??" I guarantee they will NOT be texting you again unless they get a kick out of talking to desperate cling-ons.

2. BE INTERESTING/FUNNY/WITTY. No one wants to talk to a boring lame-o. If your texts look like this: "Hey" "Wuts up?" "Nuting much, u?" do you really think your conversation is going to go places? I DON'T THINK SO. Humor is especially important because it leads way to teasing/flirting which is what you want in the first place.

3. AVOID CONVERSATION KILLERS. Here are some common conversations enders that you should try not to use in everyday conversations.

• Yep, Ok, No, Bye.

4. DON'T TYPE L!K3 D1$. Just no.

5. DON'T BE SLOW. Taking 2 or 3 hours to respond to every text is just dumb. I'm pretty sure you can take .30 seconds out of your "busy" life to text back.

Okay, well digest these rules. And use them. Because they work.
