This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Cal Poly chapter.
We’ve all said some cringe-worthy things in our lifetime, but the species of the college-aged male is a whole different category of quality material. Whether it’s day-to-day conversation with your bro-y friends or if a guy is trying to hit on you, there are some things that us ladies wonder if guys actually thought about before they said them out loud. So, here are some tragically TRUE statements that various women of Cal Poly have experienced or heard come out of an 18 to 22 year old male:
1. *Sees decorations in girl’s room of New York and Washington D.C*
    “Wow, you’re such an international traveler!”
2. “I don’t know if I want to have dinner with her on Thursday. What if that means she wants to date me…or marry me?” Calm down bruh.
3. Freshman year in the dorms:
    *Turns on obnoxious trap music*
    “Let’s get this f*ckin room written up!!”
    *Gets written up*
4. “I want to sit down but these are Lulu’s” – Guy at UCSB game
5. “Oh you’re Mexican? I thought you were Spanish. There isn’t really that big of a difference between Mexico and Spain anyways.”
6. “Socks and Adidas sandals are a good combo, right?”
7. “And whenever Wrecking Ball comes on I’m like hell yeah…its Lorde!”
8. “Wow, I didn’t realize the power of mascara until I saw you before and after putting it on.”
Yes folks. I’m not kidding, these have actually been said. Sometimes the most jaw-dropping and funniest lines come from the most oblivious dudes.
