So i found this in stephs journal but def. i love it.....
grrr...
i am so angry right now. this is my first ever angry post on xanga.
i hate guys that are ... jerks. we'll leave it at jerks. i'd like to think that at one point in time young women were treated with respect. gentlemen would stand from their seats as a young lady entered the room and remain standing until she sat in a seat that one of the men had pulled out for her. they used to open doors, get drinks, walk on the street-side of the sidewalk, and drop them off at home expecting nothing but a "goodnight" and an all-too-cute wave from the porch.
today's male falls far from that ideal. i wish he would fall into a hole and die. i can't count the amount of my girl friends (two words) that have been treated like objects by ... jerk guys.
for the record, girls are NOT:
- a temporary cure for loneliness
- there to "hook-up" with
- fond of jerks playing with their emotions
- always going to say no when they mean no, so BACK OFF
- to be "loved" and then ignored when your needs are met
- meant to be kept around in wait in case your other relationship fails
- prizes to be won
- respected nearly as much as they should be
guys are NOT:
- God's gift to women
- deserving of female companionship
- to encourage sex before marriage. period.
girls ARE:
- God's gift to man
- jewels in a world of sand
- princesses, and should be treated as such
- going to marry some guy some day that probably isn't you
- daughters and/or sisters
- the only reason that men can survive. really.
- beautiful. each one. and the ones that don't realize it are even more.
girls NEED:
- respect. show a girl respect and you have given a priceless gift.
- time. take any chance you get to spend quality time with them. they're great company. chances are they'll listen to you talk the whole time anyhow.
- encouragement. because so many guys are ... jerks, any and all positive comments are better than any diamond you could muster. and will last longer.
- LOVE. what is love? not the love that american culture shows, that's for sure. bone structure, weight, and bra size are insignificant. how much clothes is worn or not worn won't increase it. it won't be found in a bed, on a couch, or in the back seat of a car. it can't be measured by living together or sleeping together.
when a man is ready to forego every desire he has to satisfy the desires of his mate; when he realizes that her well-being is the reason for his being; when he can devote his life to being devoted to her, then and only then has he begun to fulfill his calling as a man.
today's epidemic is that there is a lack of men who live up to basic standards of what women need. i wondered for a long time why girls ended up with jerk guys. my only conclusion is that there are so many jerks to choose from and so few quality guys. i hate hearing girls say, "there are a lot of guys out there, but all the good ones are taken." the problem should be finding the best out of the good, not the best one out of the scum barrel.
perhaps our generation will be the start of a new era. one where i will feel safe letting my granddaughter leave the house with her boyfriend because i know that she will be respected, listened to, encouraged, and LOVED.
making my attempt,
