Finding deep meaning..

I hate hearing stuff like this. I don’t know this particular persons situation, but girls will always say things like “He doesn’t like me because he didn’t come talk to me” or “he doesn’t want to date me because he didn’t even ask me out.” That is some of the worst logic…

I agree to a certain extent. Being forward as a girl comes with some nasty connotations. People call you a hoe or a slut because you’re approaching a guy. Or you’re easy because you’re not following the standard procedure of dating. Or they call you clingy because you’re texting the guy or asking him to hang out. It’s such bullshit you get from other girls. It’s harder to ignore sometimes especially when all girls expect the same thing. & I don’t think anyone should wait nine months if nothing is happening. I’ve made mistakes waiting on guys with the hope that maybe something will change. I’ll never do that again. If he doesn’t want to date you now, a couple of months won’t change that. 

Being forward no matter what gender you are has consequences. For a girl you might be considered a whore or easy, but as a guy you’ll probably be called creepy or weird. If I had a nickle for every time I heard a story where some seemingly normal guy was called creepy for conveying interest in a girl I’d be rich. I don’t mean some guy that says “haha you’re so hottt” either. To be honest though, I don’t think a girl will thought of as easy or a whore just by asking a guy out on a date to like dinner or something. If people honestly call that being a whore or easy, then they’re just part of the problem. Furthermore, you say “girls get called clingy” if they text a guy to hang out a lot or whatever. Guys get called whipped if they do that, there are consequences for everyone, I don’t think that the responsibility should fall to either gender.
