Every girl has “that guy” in her life.
The one she meets in a bar, goes home with, maybe goes on a date or two with and then never hears from again-except for the occasional drunk dials and when he’s interested in one of your friends.
In my mind they are all the same and they will never change. There’s that select group of guys that have one purpose in life and one purpose only; that is, to hook up with as many girls as they can get their hands on, not having a care in the world as to how they leave the girl feeling in the end.
College guys are typically indecisive and, well, a little dangerous. The majority were spoon-fed by their mothers for the first 18 years of their lives, always having mom there to make their dinners and comfort them when they lose the football game. Then, they go off to college and have no idea how to handle their newfound freedom.
They are surrounded by vast amounts of alcohol seven nights a week, and, not to mention, the hundreds of single college girls. What do you do with hundreds of single college girls constantly around you? Play a game with all of your little frat brothers to see how many girls you can hook up with in one night. They’re not people with feelings, no no, they’re just college girls. The guys figure they have bought the girls enough drinks at the bar anyway that they won’t remember it in the morning, so why not? It’s all a game to them- a game that apparently never gets old.
It’s a known fact that girls mature a couple years faster than guys, but is it really only a couple years? I think it’s more like 10 because by the time most guys graduate from college and start seriously dating, they ask themselves, “What the hell was I doing in college? That girl really cared about me, I had a chance with her and I blew it,” while us girls have already found a great, mature older guy.
Think about it. Back in elementary school both boys and girls were eating glue. Then, a couple years later in middle school, the boys were still eating glue while the girls found the glue-eating-boys entertaining to watch. Then in high school, girls were over the glue-eating-boys, so the guys switched from glue to beer. Nothing has really changed since.
Guys can master accounting and finance but, for goodness sake, asking a girl out on a date just isn’t feasible. It’s like asking a guy to say he is “in a relationship” on Facebook, let alone actually admitting to who he is in a relationship with. They stay in their little comfort zone, living the “ideal college boy lifestyle” until they hit about age 28 and realize how stupid they were. Oh don’t worry boys, you will realize how stupid you are sooner or later.
You won’t see many college guys out on dates these days either. Instead, it’s always a few drinks in a bar, a night at the frat house, the awkward morning after and an “I’ll text you later.” So all that date money boys ask their parents for is really going towards all the alcohol they consume on a nightly basis, the late night Café Brazil runs, and condoms for the girl that finally gives into their sweet talk.
Boys, we don’t hate all of you, just those of you who have chosen this lifestyle, you know who you are. I just hope that the next girl you meet in a bar you try to look at her as more than just a piece of meat, but then again, after a few beers and shots in your system, most of you are probably not going to think twice about my column.
