Why Guys Do The Things They Do
By: Terry-Ann Masters
Dan Z, a junior here at Penn State, is your typical twenty-one year old male. He’s average height, with full black hair, and deep brown eyes. He works out, likes to party, loves sports and is constantly pursuing the ladies. He is without a doubt your everyday guy, which is why I sat down with him to discuss why guys do the things they do. I met with girls and gathered some questions that they’ve always wanted the answer to.
T: Hey Dan.
D: Hey, what’s up?
T: Not much. Are you ready?
D: Completely prepared to represent the male sex.
T: Haha, great. What is the official rule for calling/texting a girl when she gives you her number?
D: Well, I mean there’s the cliché wait three days rule. But really, it all depends on how desperate the guy is. And I guess it also depends on how much he likes the girl. And sometimes it could be a combination of both. If it’s the first time meeting the girl and you’re really desperate, call immediately. If it’s the first time meeting her and you felt like there was a connection on both ends, wait a week…or longer. You really have to feel it out.
T: So the more you’re into her, the longer you wait?
D: Yup.
T: Doesn’t that seem backwards?
D: No. You don’t want to seem desperate or needy if you actually like the girl, and you want it to go somewhere. What girl wants a needy guy?
T: Haha ok, so it sometimes seems as if guys still poke fun at girls when they like them. Is this something widely done among guys in college?
D: Absolutely. Making a girl feel bad about herself is not just a tactic used in first grade. It’s definitely still used now…of course it’s slightly more evolved.
T: How is it possible that you believe that you can make fun of a girl and still get her to like you?
D: Well, like I said it’s a little more evolved. It’s not like a group of people surrounding her and making her cry. It’s just; you say something funny and slightly insulting. The goal is to get her to laugh at herself. Once you’ve gotten her to laugh at herself you’re in there.
T: Wow. So what’s your rule for lying for your friends?
D: Do it. Always.
T: What if your friend is wrong?
D: It doesn’t matter, it’s your friend. He’s never wrong.
T: What if your two friends, a guy and a girl, are dating? The guy does something wrong. What do you do then, if they’re both your friends?
D: Bros before hoes.
T: Haha, fair enough. How much do guys actually share with each other?
D: More than a lot of people may think actually. I mean we share differently than girls do. Girls talk more about their feelings. Guys, we talk about our actions; things we’ve done.
T: Could you give me a few core rules that guys live by?
D: Sure. Uhm number one, bros before hoes. Two, if you like her don’t call her. Three, always lie for your friends. And four, be the best wingman you can be.
T: Rules to live by.
D: Fo sho.
