Girl’s Diary
Monday 3 October 2005
Saw John in the evening and he was acting really strangely. I went shopping in the afternoon with the girls and I did turn up a bit late so I thought it might be that.
The bar was really crowded and loud so I suggested we go somewhere quieter to talk. He was still very subdued and distracted so I suggested we go somewhere nice to eat.
All through dinner he just didn't seem himself; he hardly laughed, and didn't seem to be paying any attention to me or to what I was saying.
I just knew that something was wrong.
He dropped me back home. I wondered if he was going to come in; he hesitated, but followed. I asked him again if there was something the matter but he just half shook his head and turned the television on.
After about 10 minutes of silence, I said I was going upstairs to bed. I put my arms around him and told him that I loved him deeply. He just gave a sigh, and a sad sort of smile.
He didn't follow me up, but later he did, and I was surprised when we made love. He still seemed distant and a bit cold, and I started to think that he was going to leave me, and that he had found someone else.
I cried myself to sleep....

Well, first a boy must have a diary, which he won't because:

a) he's too much of a slack-ass
b) it's not manly (pouring out your secrets and ideas...tsk tsk)

But other than that....brilliant and true.

Ahh...sexism at his finest. So easy to see how people stereotype men as being without feeling about relatioships and such and that women are so intuitive, or so they think.

Of course if I guy shows feelings of any kind everyone screams "FAG", so it's rare.

I'd go around saying how I believe guys have feelings and it's okay for them to express their emotions...

But then again, I'm a gay guy.


Seriously.

i do express my feelings and emotions... but writing a diary is kinda boring, and i'm too lazy to keep it up. plus its kind of stupid: "i know, i'll write all my deepest thoughts and feelings in a little book so everyone can go read it whenever they want"... pah! i just keep it all in my head (which is NOT expressing anything of course :P )

besides there's no real reason to write anything down when punching holes in walls is so much more satisfying :D


lol at the OP though :p

Maybe there is such a high suicide rate among men because they are constantly told that they are worthless and stupid by bullshit like this?

You know, if I was ever friends with a girl like that, I'd probably have an uncontrollable urge to smack her upside the head every once in awhile.

Most girls are like that, man. In at least one way, I'm kinda like that (that one way being that my journal entries -- and there is SUCH a difference between "diary" and "journal" -- are kinda long, though usually rambling and really serve no emotional purpose). We all just hide it really well.

no silly child,its because men cant deal with emotions,and when we try our brains spontaneously combust.well not really,but men have been doing fine for all of existence without expressing themselves,why should it make a difference now?

Myself being a girl... my statement stands. And has less to do with writing a diary entry than what she's babbling on about.

Oh, ok, well.......yeah, I guess on a second read, that's different. That's cliche. That's.......kinda nauseating. And I wasn't sure if you were a guy or a girl, so I pretty much just went from my standpoint, sorry about that :D

No problem.

But really, the girl just seems really vapid and over-sensitive. All "Boohoo! John was acting kind of down today! He must be seeing another woman, ohnoez my life is over!" Suck it up, Princess!

...er, anyway. Being that it's a random made-up snippet, it's expected. But like I say, if a girl babbled to me like than in real life, I would so feel like smacking her upside the head.

Well, that WAS my intention.

But on a more serious note, I really do think guys should be able to express their feelings more freely if they chose to. Just because a guy feels sad or lonely or hurt doesn't mean he's gay. I know gay guys who tough it up, and I know straight guys who need to be comforted once in a while.

Feelings aren't just for girls.

I actually think punching a wall is a very good stress reliever, and extra points if you put a hole in it.

i just read a "study" and ive heard about it from other places that most men cant show/express as much emotion because the emotions need to travel through the brain (obviously) and men's brains only have a "two way highway" of space to let these emotions travel, where girls have practically eight way highways...
it kind makes sense, and the original post is funny and very true. but i dont think its because guys dont feel these things or think them. its probably just cuz they dont dwell on them and worry about it. most of the time anyways. im a girl so i dont know. but i DO know that i totally relate to the girls diary entry. its not always that dramatic but its the idea lol.

1. Women attempt suicide more. Men complete suicide more because we use more directly fatal methods like shooting ourselves in the head.

2. Because the testosterone burns our system out faster.

3. Lots. Even me, on occasion, and I'm a pretty stable and calm guy.


Besides, this is funny. Is it sexist? Yes, a little. but honestly, get a sense of humor. A lot of girls are like that, and a lot of guys are like that. No need to get angry about it.

EDIT: The last statement is in general to anybody who was insulted by this.
