To the ManHaters,

there is this blog surfacing around mountain view. it's about girls in our high school who have blogged about what happened when boys screwed them over and how badly it sucks, and how much they don't deserve to be treated like that, and how some of them are having their belief in love dwindle.

don't get me wrong, i think it's great that these girls are being brave enough to let others into their lives, so they can avoid the things they missed. i also think this blog is extremely entertaining and i laugh every time i read it, because 99% of the things said are totally true.

BUT, there's always a but..i don't think they're giving boys enough credit. sure they are immature, and low, but everyone makes mistakes. {don't forget girls, you aren't perfect either}. most of the time, guys don't even realize what they say and how girls take it and interpret it into 500 different things. girls, the trick is: think like a guy would. when you're about to put yourself in a very vulnerable position, stop and think about what might be going through their head, so you don't end up 'used and abused.'

themanhaters blog clearly shows the world that girls aren't given enough respect. i mean, heavenly father even refers to us as his most sacred creation..shouldn't we be more than a rail and bail? that's what we think, but 50% of the time we aren't. and that sucks.

BUT there's also that other 50% of the time where we are. i don't want you girls at themanhaters to think that there is no hope for you, because the one guy you thought would-be screwed you over. don't let boys consume your life. the more you let them walk all over you, the greater getting your heart broken is going to hurt, so do yourself a favor and don't get so attached. spend your time with the boys that actually matter, not the one who want you for how you look, but the ones who think you're funny and smart. there are decent guys out there, i know there is because i've got to date a few. but if you don't find one right now, it's really not all that big of a deal. we're in high school. you focus should be on your girlfriends anyways; not saying rude things about the guy who totally bailed out on you.

be the bigger person, because we all know girls are.
