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
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
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 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!
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.
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.

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!
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.
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 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.
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.

As a man of 38 I agree with this I personally don’t like much of any professional sports. To me if I’m gonna watch grown men playing with balls and each other what with all the physical contact and such, then I’d call professional sports mild soft core porn, if I wanna waste my time like that than at least it should be actual gay porn at least there would be sexual thoughts from more entertaining action than millionaires get payed to do nothing. If they didn’t have their sports they’d at least be able to assist all of us regular people to better society and our countries with real work, but alas they don’t wanna grow up they just wanna play games meant for children instead of contributing to society.

Men often feel pressure when it comes to liking sports, especially sports like football. Boys often feel the pressure to play sports. My son's friend growing up was not sports inclined. But his father pushed him to playing soccer, baseball, flag football. There shouldn't be this pressure to have to like and play sports. If you do, that's fine. If if don't, that should be fine too.
