Everyone knows that men and women have different perspectives on certain aspects of life, but there are a few that are just ridiculous. Washing your hands, having sex with certain people, and relationship issues are the issues brought up on the regular basis. I have discussed these three topics with friends and have come to a very precise conclusion. Most young women have more common sense, hygiene values, common courtesy, and respect for others than most young men. Washing your hands should be the first thing you think of after you use the restroom. For most young men, washing your hands after using the restroom is a waste of time. What? Since when did being a sanitary human being become a waste of time?
“My genitals are clean, so if anything I should wash my hands BEFORE I use the restroom” is the statement I have heard from several different young men. Receiving this bit of information made me cringe at the thought. These were young men whose hands I have shaken on many occasions. Now I will think twice about greeting young men and eating at their households.
Now the issue that bothers me the most is the issue about having sex with certain people. Among my male friends, it has been said that they would sleep with two girls who are very good friends. They were given a scenario and then asked a question: You are “talking” to a girl and you meet some of her friends. You find that one of her friends is more attractive. Do you have sex with the more attractive friend? All except one guy said that they would have sex with the more attractive friend. For the guys who said yes, I was highly disappointed, because they were all very good friends of mine. The result of their actions would destroy a friendship and have a girl feeling hurt and disrespected. Yet the guys failed to even take the less attractive friend into consideration. The one guy who said no later said he would only have sex with the girl’s friend if it would “make him feel gay if he didn’t.”
I didn’t quite understand what he meant by that so he gave me this explanation: “Okay, say you and I are ‘talking’ and we are really starting to like and care for each other. Now one day your friend Stacy comes to visit my roommate, but instead she comes to my room, gets undressed, and tells me she wants to have sex with me. I would feel gay if I didn’t have sex with her. So I would have sex with Stacy under those circumstances.”
That is one of the most ignorant statements and explanations I have ever heard in my natural born life! If he liked me as he claimed he did, he would care enough not to sleep with Stacy, and he would most certainly not feel gay for not doing it. I honestly believe that guy mentalities like these are some of the causes of bad relationships and friendships between young men and women.
I know that some, or all, of the accusations and opinions I have stated in this article may bother some people (mostly males), but rest assured that I am not the only young woman with this point of view on these specific topics.
