"I don't think that being a strong person is about ignoring your emotions and fighting your feelings. Putting on a brave face doesn't mean you're a brave person. That's why everybody in my life knows everything that I'm going through. I can't hide anything from them. People need to realise that being open isn't the same as being weak."

The Ten Things All Guys Should Know About Girls.

Mood: crazy :P
Listening to: Crazy Chick by Charlotte Church
Hungry for: luv...:D

I've always found it so funny that all my guyfriends know so little about girls - and this ignorance is always a recipe for disaster.

So here is the lowdown. The ten things you seriously need to know about girls.

1. Girls like to talk. A lot. Most of the time we try to remember our audience, but occaisionally we'll wander off into less familiar topics to the male mind, such as makeup, shopping and feelings. Despite the fact you may not get a word of this, it's important to listen if you don't want to get dumped.\

2. Girls are deep, meaningful creatures who like deep, meaningful things. Boys, to us, are a bit shallow when it comes to this, so try and break the stereotype here.

3. Just because a girl uses makeup doesn't mean she's high maintenance - it just means she's a girl. Most boys I know tell me that they don't like a girl who wears makeup, but they don't like an ugly girl either - and in this day and age when expectations on women are ridiculously high, you can't have it both ways. Even your most goddess-like au naturel girl probably wears concealer every now and again.

4. Girls are taught a lot of things about how to attract guys, and the sad thing is we listen to all of it - although we're not really good at following directions printed in magazines. So if a girl is all warm and chatty one minute and then a cool ice queen the next, it's because we're trying really hard and epically failing. I know it's confusing, but, live with it.

5. If a girl is having a hard time sometimes all she wants to do is moan - boys like solutions, girls just like sympathy. That's just that.

6. We're not hairfree and airbrushed all the time. We're not born supermodels.

7. Girls do eat, and fart, and smell when they forget their deodorant. But, believe me, boys eat more, fart more and stink more.

8. Breakups are done in person, privately, and sensitively. Just because you've gotten bored with her doesn't mean she feels the same way. Texting, ridiculing in public, over the phone or on IM is simply not an option. It's like murdering someone over the internet. Have the balls to do it in person.

9. Dragging a girl to the footy (unless she's really into that kind of stuff) is like a man being dragged into a shopping mall and being forced to watch her pore over clothes and shoes and bags and makeup. These things are best done with mates of the same sex.

10. Girls love, and girls need love.
