I was writing a comment to Skye and realized how much I really wanted to tell everyone about it- not just anyone who reads the comments on skye's journal.
So here goes, this is a very strong subject for me, so take it with a grain of salt if I go too far.

Girls suck. In a lot of ways.

So a while back I had this one guy friend (Abbot will be his name)

i completely agree with you. few things can piss me off like girls bashing on guys. one time in religion class for example; de padua was talking about how we as girls need to raise the bar, and one girl was like " but then there just won't be any guys good enough." i got so angry at her. other girls were saying things like "there aren't any nice guys" or "guys are all jerks" and i wanted to scream. the kicker is my defense would be to say that i am in a great relationship with a great guy who treats me right, but i know that they would be thinking " ask her again once they break up and she won't be so sure he is a great guy ". that's such an offensive concept to me. you don't have to hate someone after you break up. but the real point is, where do girls get off saying that all guys are jackasses? if they really thought that then they wouldn't crave male attention so much. it hurts me alot when girls bash on guys because i know so many guys that are amazing and wonderful and would treat any girl right if they only gave them the time of

Thank THE LORD someone else feels the same way. I'll admit I bash guys especially lately mostly out of bitterness...but really, it's the stupidest thing. I can understand it to an extent (example "guys are stupid" because of a particular instance - say not wanting to say a name or something I don't know - not full out bashing)...but when girls get on about girls being so much better than guys and how all guys are assholes, it makes me so angry. But I'm always so confused because I do think girls can be pretty great, but mostly I identify with guys more, and can get along with them easier. Then when I try to point out everything wrong with girls I'm just "buying into the patriarchy" and not supporting women wich is COMPLETELY not true, but so often guys aren't taken for what they are

Yeah, you're so right. I think forgiving other people of both sexes for romantic situations going awry is really hard for people, so they get defensive and judgmental.

I've learned only in the past few years that it's actually quite easy to forgive someone for moving on. I step back and look at it universally, and realize how little we are.

Still, few things hurt like hearing "no" from someone you love.

Very good things to think about!
