A Letter To Juliet

When I was young, I'd longed for a guy best friend because I'm really really really curious about what they think, how they act on a given situation, what makes them happy..things like that. I just want to know them beyond the image that the were trying to show the world. Unfortunately, I never had one. I've had a few guy friends but no best guy buddy. 

Then I saw this on one my friends' notes in FB. (Yep! FB na naman!:D Hindi naman halatang babad ako sa Fb e no?:P) This is a letter for all the girls from, well, the guys. Wala lang, I just thought that girls should really read this so we know the what's and what-not's about the guys. ;)


Dear Girls,

Don't assume we won't care where you are, because we do. It makes us feel secure to know that our girlfriends aren't off flirting with guys we've never heard of.

Also, don't talk about your ex-boyfriends. We never have, nor ever will respect or like them, nor do we want to hear about them. When you do, you're asking your boyfriend to be jealous. You're asking your boyfriend to lose trust.

On that, don't hump everything that walks into the room. We don't care if you talk to other guys. We don't care if you're friends with other guys. But when you're sitting next to us, and some random guy walks into the room and you jump up and tackle him, without even introducing us, yeah, it pisses us off. It doesn't help if you sit there and talk to him for ten minutes without even acknowledging the fact that we're still there.

Also, when we tell you you're pretty/ beautiful/ gorgeous/ cute/ stunning, we freaking mean it. Don't tell us we're wrong. We'll stop trying to convince you. The sexiest thing about a girl is confidence. Yeah, you can quote me.

 Don't be mad when we hold the door open. Smile and say "thank you." Let us pay for you. Don't "feel bad." We enjoy doing it. It's expected. Smile and say - everybody together now - "thank you."

Kiss us when no one's watching. If you kiss us when you know nobody's looking we'll be more impressed.

You don't have to get dressed up for us. If we're going out with you in the first place, you don't have to feel the need to wear the shortest skirt you have, put on every kind of makeup you own. We like you for WHO you are and not WHAT you are.

Don't flirt with guys when we're not around. We'll find out. Trust us. We have eyes everywhere. And when we find out, we're pissed. Not necessarily with the guys you flirted with, more-so with you.

Don't take everything we say seriously. Sarcasm is a beautiful thing. See the beauty in it. Don't get angry easily. Stop using magazines/media as your bible.

Don't talk about how hot Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt is in front of us. It's boring, and we don't care. You have girlfriends for that.

Whatever happened to the word "handsome"? Why does everything have to be "hot/sexy"? I'd be utterly stunned by a girl who greeted me with "Hey handsome!" instead of "Hey baby/ stud/ cutie/ sexy" or whatever else you can think of. Claiming girls or guys to be "hot" shows immaturity.

Girls, I cannot stress this enough: if you aren't being treated right by a guy, don't wait for him to change. Ditch his sorry, disgrace-to-the-male-population ass, and find someone who will treat you with utter respect. Someone who will honor your morals. Someone who will make you smile when you're at your lowest. 

From Us,

The Guys
