girlish girls, manly men.

[paulpablo]

I like girlish girls.
BUT
at the same time I hate some typical girlish things girls do.

At the top of the list, because it's what inspired this thread to begin with, is the use of motivational sentimental quotes.

Time and time again on any basically any computer or phone thing where statuses can be typed out (whatsapp, camfrog, blackberry messenger) I see girls with over sentimental, sickening, corny messages like the following


And


I just had to wipe the bits of sick off my keyboard after searching and copying and pasting those.

I don't think stuff like that is girlish.

Being able to say "I just miss you" doesn't make a man effeminate. It makes him forthright.

Maybe this is a little hangover from being taught that boys don't cry?

The message isn't actually forthrightly presented to a person, which is a bit of the annoying part of it in my opinion.
If I miss someone I DEFINITELY tell them you miss them, I've told girls I miss how they smell I miss how they feel I miss how they sound.
But I didn't put a status on a social media program broadcast to everyone saying "I miss how you feel, how you smell, how you sound". I just simply txt that one individual person a message to their phone or called them on the phone. No one else saw it or had to look at it and wonder who I was talking about.
Also these messages aren't forthright from the person to another person, they are usually made up by someone online, typed up in a nice font with some fancy graphics behind the font, put on a website where people download these images then the images are used as profile photos on things like whatsapp, probably on facebook even though I don't have facebook I imagine they get used on there even more.
