I do not usually consider myself a very opinionated person, because I tend to be quite passive in most things. However, I do have two very strong opinions on two extremely different matters that have nothing to do with each other. The first one is clearly about the boys these days, as I am sure most girls would have an opinion about. The second is a recently founded opinion about none other than dirty dishes. Enjoy.
Ok number one; boys! Do you know what bothers me more than anything? The fact that there are hardly any of those cute old fashioned boys left anymore, and if there is, I sure have not run in to very many. What ever happened to a guy taking charge? I understand we live in a very “feminist” world where woman are becoming more and more independent it. But seriously, it is NOT a girls job to ask a guy out on the first date. I would be willing to bet, though, that more often than not it is the girl that has to make the first move. I guess that just proves who is braver, eh? Now I am sorry if you are a boy reading this and you are offended, because I know you are not all like this. I am just talking about boys in general. I really do believe that it has become the mindset of guys, though, to think that it is the girls job to make the first move. This is so false! So please, man up and just do your job. I will even let you in on a little secret. Girls love gentleman! Now you know.
Ok second thing, which is completely unrelated to boys, is dishes— the dirty kind to be exact. It drives me crazy to come home and find a huge pile of dirty dishes, with food still on them, sitting in the sink to rot. Is it really so hard to rinse your dish after you use it and put it in the dishwasher? Nope I don’t think so. So it is my strong opinion that all violators of this crime need to stop and think about what pain you are causing your roommates by leaving your sick nasty dishes in the sink. Coming home to an apartment smelling like rotten garbage is just fantastic after a long day at school! Oh wait, it’s not. So please clean up; that is all I ask. I have no doubt that the world would be a much nicer, and cleaner, place to live if we would all just do our duty and do the dishes. The end.
I understand what you mean about dishes. I am a clean person, not OCD about clean but I like things in order, anyways... I wish people could at least put their dishes in the dishwasher. I Usually end up doing them because I want to eat out of a bowl the next morning, it kind of torques me out.
ReplyDeleteAbout the whole asking out thing, it is a little hard to just do it. It is not that I expect a girl to ask me, I would rather do it myself, it is just that we can be slow about getting around to it. I will try harder in the future I guess. haha
I wish I didn't know what you were talking about; I wish I could say my roommates are all clean; I wish it wasn't so hard for people to clean up after themselves. I just hope we figure something out....
ReplyDeleteI always hear girls complaining about asking guys on dates. I just have to say that I've never heard of a guy who thinks it the girls job to ask them out. or even that it's the girls job to "be in charge." I think sometimes girls think that guys have nothing better to do than to constantly be asking girls on dates. I go on dates pretty often, but it's not like I have time to ask out every girl in my ward and go on sixteen dates every weekend. Guys do have things to do like working, getting an education, and making all their wildest dreams come true, that take up a good amount of time. Also, it may not be that the guy is waiting for the girl to make the first move. It may be he's just not into that person. I've seen SO many situations where the girl is like "why isn't he asking me out?" and the guys like "what? I don't even like spending time with her, she's super lame" Then of course the girl just thinks that the guy isn't "taking charge"
ReplyDeleteThis may have come off a little harsh, this may not really portray what I think but it bring up some good points.
haha no I totally understand what you are saying Mckay. I think that does happen a lot..girls think that a guy is just being dumb by not asking her out but in reality he doesn't like her. I guess I forgot to clarify that in my post.
ReplyDeleteThis happens ALL THE TIME in my apartment. We finally ended up putting up a "friendly note" that says "please put your dirty dishes in the dishwasher. I the dishes in the washer are clean, please put them away." So far we have still had some problems, but it hasn't been nearly as bad. I just think that everybody grows up with different responsibilities in their households, and it's hard to just suddenly change happens all at once. I think, in the end, patience is the key.
