Top Ten Misconceptions About Guys

There are so many misconceptions about guys, especially when you go to college. The myths are never really debunked either, unless you start dating a guy and ask him. But if you don’t have a boyfriend then these mysteries can evade you for years. So here are the top ten misconceptions that girls usually have about guys in college. Photo: Getty Images

All Guys Love Football

Sports can play a large part in a guys life, but not all guys love to watch it. For those who do like it, the aggression of the game can play a factor in their love, but it could also be for personal glory. Every guy(who loves football) wants to be a part of the game and score that one goal, or give that amazing pass that everyone talks about for weeks. Many guys love football, but there are also many other guys who could care less. Photo: Getty Images

Guys Can Fix Anything

Not every guy can be a Mr. Fix-It. Some guys can’t fix anything. This myth comes about as another ploy for guys to prove their masculinity to other guys. There are quite a few guys who can fix just about anything, but it usually because they have the strength and or knowledge of how to fix things. Photo: Getty Images

Guys are Only Romantic When They Want Something

Guys can be romantic on any given day if they choose to be. I know lots of guys who give flowers to their girl just because they felt like it, or sent a cute romantic letter for no special occasion. They do not have to want something from you, they probably just gave you flowers because they think you are cute!

Guys Don't Cry ... Ever

This is one of those myths that come about because guys want to seem very masculine around other guys. It usually takes a big life-changing event for a guy to cry, unless they are just emotional people, then it takes just watching a heart-wrenching movie for them to tear up. My dad cried when I was born, and one of my friends cried when his girlfriend said she would marry him. Guys are pretty emotional, they just hide it most of the time.

Guys Don't Understand Women

Again this is true only for some guys. Some guys are afraid to know what we think even if t would help them gain brownie points with us. But, Brian Bishop, a sophomore at Arizona State University said, “Men will never truly understand women, they can only hope to grasp what they are feeling at a given time.” So we at least have a hope that they will be able to understand us when it is important.

Guys Only Think About Sex

Sex is not always the first thing a guy thinks about. Some people even think that guys only think about sex without any strings attached. Brennan Smith, a sophomore at Arizona State University said, “I would always say being committed to a person is way more important than one night of sex.” This seems to be the same for many guys. So don’t just assume that they only want sex because some of them just want to hang out and get to know you!

Guys Hate Chick Flicks

Most guys do not like watching chick flicks, or at least admitting to watching them. I know plenty of guys who would love an excuse to cuddle with their girl while watching Pride and Prejudice or Marley and Me. There are so many excuses during a tearjerker for a guy to put his arm around you or hold your hand.

Men are Unwilling to Make Sacrifices

Every girl needs to understand that if a guy is not willing to make a sacrifice for you then he is not worth your time. Guys who legitimately want to be your friend, or more than a friend will leave some things behind so he can be with you.

Guys Can't Hold Long Phone Conversations

Guys can hold long and intelligent phone conversations, some just prefer not to have them. If a guy wants to talk to you he will more than likely want to talk to you in person, that way he can look at you and he will be able to pay attention better.

The First Thing a Guy Notices...

Most women think that all guys are perverted and that the first thing they notice about a girl are their breasts. As with all these myths there are some guys who do notice that first, but according to Marc Leatham, a junior at Arizona State University the first thing he notices about a girl are her eyes and/or smile. This is especially true when talking to a girl in a conversation.
