Controversy, Girls, Things I Do Not Understand, And My Shameless Opinion

So, I got to see a principle I learned at a very young age actually prove itself to be true this week.  The principle that controversy sells became real to me to the tune of a 500% increase of viewer traffic on  my blog in the past three days. Yes, I can see how many times people visit. No, I don't know exactly who is visiting (I could probably find out). Thanks for reading guys.

Anyways, that is not what I want to discuss in this post.

The topic on the table is women. Yes, you heard me correctly, I want to talk about girls. Now, I'm not going to talk about any likes or dislikes that I may have. . .because that would be stupid. However, I am going to throw a few things out there that either confuse or concern me. An example being, how girls play really hard to get until a guy pretends to not care, and then they throw themselves at him. . .I don't understand.

A little background about where my limited knowledge of the female species comes from: I grew up with two sisters and no brother. My older sister is only 13 months older than me and she taught me almost everything I needed to know about women - I say almost because, obviously, women do not fully comprehend themselves, or else, attempting to understand a woman would not be nearly as futile a task as it is currently.  My sisters exposed me to certain situations that I believe have helped me narrow my vision of what I consider to be my ideal woman. You see, the truth is that I am a very, very, very picky person because of what I learned from my sisters.  I've learned how to decipher a girl's intentions based upon her tone and/or body language, I've learned how to keep track of a conversation that jumps all over the place, and I've most definitely learned how to recognize the few days a month when girls should be avoided...period. 

Ok, so now that you kind of know where I came from, here are a few things that I don't understand:

1. Why is it that girls think it is okay to "claim" a guy?
- I have never been able to understand why girls will basically play the, "I saw him first" card in order to get the guy they want.  They'll be sure to confide in their best friend (who she knows is going to tell everyone) that she likes Johnny, she thinks he's hot stuff, and she definitely thinks there is chemistry there because he wore the same color jeans that she did...blah.

• Here's my take on this one...STOP IT!  Ladies, please save yourselves from this practice. All you're doing is setting yourself up for a serious emotional let-down in the future when you find out that every guy wears blue jeans, and this guy happens to like your best friend. 
• Stay patient and wait for the guy to come after you...Believe it or not, we like to choose, and the pursuit/hunt for the girl we like is our favorite part. So make it a challenge 

2. Why is it okay for girls to lie to guys as long as they say it in a sweet voice?
- You know who you are...You say things like, "Of course I like the Cincinnati Browns!" and, "You're not fat, you're just really strong!" or my favorite, "I love your shoes...". 

•  Well, for one, we're not buying it, and two...it doesn't matter if the Browns are from Cleveland when you smile like that....dangit!  I mean, it is not fair for you to lie to us and then demand honesty.  Play fair... 

3.Why do girls like guys that are mean to them?
-This is one that I've never understood.  The scenario: Guy doesn't like girl, guy treats girl like crap, girl falls in love with guy, guy takes advantage because it's easy...What has happened  to our society? Because I know you're all reading this nodding your head saying, "yeah, that happens all the time."

•  I blame movies. 
• Girls, please don't fall for a guy just because he shows you some attention. Wait for a guy who treats you like a princess, and who wants to be with you.

Ok, I'm going to stop here because this is starting to get long, and the other things that I don't understand about girls are probably not worth writing (Just like these!).  I want to leave everybody with this. . .Men, treat women with respect, love them the way that Jesus does, and fight to defend her heart as well as your own. I've failed in this area countless times -- I urge you all to do better.  Women, respect yourselves, wait for the right man to pursue you, and let Jesus be the one who holds your heart.
