Alex on #Guys ...what else?

We've started talking about dating at Varsity. Dating is a very interesting topic, if I call it that. I don't know if my story is like yours, but I have never dated anyone. It's not that I haven't liked guys (I do), its because I haven't felt like God was giving me the "go-ahead". Plus, I'm very traditional, and I'd like the guy to make the first move. And since none have... Well, you know how it goes.

Tonight at Varsity, we talked about guys. I know you've heard it all before: Guys are visual, guys don't show emotion, guys are rude and think bodily functions are funny... All of those in true in some capacity. But here's something you probably didn't know.

Guys are and need to be manly. It's a guy thing. I was talking with a group of friends (all girls). Some had boyfriends and some didn't. They kept saying things like: I wish guys were nicer, I wish guys didn't stare, Wouldn't it be better if guys were easier to talk to, I wish guys were more sensitive... And it began to dawn on me that they were asking guys to be girls! Listen, there's nothing wrong with guys being masculine. In fact, nothing is more "hot" than a masculine guy who knows how and when to demonstrate his strength.

So, guys... Be guys. And girls - let the guys be guys.
