Our Male Counterparts

Many times have this issue crossed my path and many others. And from what I gather, there are so many types of males out there. Listing all the negative ones, I have the: indecisive type, the player type, the keep-to-himself type, the egoistic kind, the I'll-be-nice-when-she's-of-use-and-ignore-her-when-I-don't-need-her kind. I'm pretty sure there are plenty more which I can't think off the top of my head now or that I haven't had the opportunity to encounter.

I as a female, speaking for a few of my friends, sometimes think that males are the best things ever on earth, though most times (more so when hurt) we think males are jerks. Maybe it's our luck that we seem to be cordially inviting the wrong males into our lives. Maybe there just aren't enough nice enough males out there. Maybe we're expecting too much of the ones we happen to like. Maybe, just maybe, we're not good enough.

All we do most of the time is get together and mope. Yes, we do that a lot. Especially, haha, Ai Lin and I. (Yay Ai Lin, now the whole world knows we mope. Hope you don't mind.) The thing is, as humans, we tend to blame ourselves more than blaming others when it comes to matters such as feelings. (Or so I think. You are free to have your own opinion on this matter.)We feel like we're not doing enough. Or not pretty enough. Or not nice enough.

I have seen friends who go through painful and hurtful experiences, many of which we end up crying over. We tell ourselves they're not worth it. But the thing is, that's exactly why we cry. We cry because they matter. Because they did something that really hurt us in some way, may it be big or small.

And after those tears, we tell ourselves to toughen up. And toughen up most of us do. Life goes on. Why dwell in the past? And we keep having to tell ourselves that. Mostly to comfort ourselves, and to rebuild the confidence we lost.

Don't worry. I do realise that there are plenty of good males out there, who would go miles and further just to please us. We appreciate it. A lot.

And also, I realise that not only females suffer these problems. Males too. Whoever it may be, I just want to let you know something. We might be lonely sometimes, but never alone.

Side note: Wooo...insightful huh?
