Yesterday I saw a Facebook status that read "When a girl says she's cold; it means she wants a hug". I’m not even going to sugar-coat this right now, the status annoyed me to the fullest. I mean I was in “irritated-mode”. I commented on the status, writing “NO IT MEANS SHE’S COLD!” The status wasn't the only thing that just annoyed me without any other reasoning, but it was the one that made me reach my breaking point with girls acting like without a guy their nothing. I swear I could write a romance novel, with my only resource being the statuses on my Facebook newsfeed. Since I was younger I was always known as “weird” because I never dated boys or told anyone who I liked. I even remember one time my cousin called me a lesbian. I remember it like it was yesterday! At the time I was so “mad”, I mean who wouldn’t be right? As I grew older, and still didn’t date I realized how different I was from the crowd I hung around. All of those girls were always looking for guys to date. And it seemed like they liked a different guy ever few months to a year. It was as if they needed a guy, to fill something in them, that was missing. I never felt that. I also noticed they would fall for guys right away because of looks. I couldn’t do that! I could never see myself “LIKING” a guy because of his looks, and only that. Rather than looking their personalities. All of that to say, why is it that in today’s society girls think they NEED boyfriends? I have the same question about a husband. I understand that in my religion, Islam, marriage is important…but if it doesn’t happen for you, are you going to go kill yourself? All of these questions running through my mind brings me back to the status I mentioned earlier. I can’t say I’m cold to a guy friend of mines and only mean that…I’M COLD!?!? The last thing I’d like to touch is overgeneralizations. Too many people over-generalize females. Because one girl said she was cold, only in search of a hug; does that mean that every girl is like this. And because one girl would literally do anything for a guy, does is mean that every female or the majority are like that? No. It’s stereotypical and there overgeneralizations.
