I’ve always wished that I could read the mind of a man. I’ve spent endless nights wondering whether guys analyze things the way girls do. “He probably thought I was being needy when I said that.” “He must think I am so annoying.” I had to get some answers, so I conducted a mini-research project where I asked a handful of UCSB girls what burning questions they had about guys. I then asked a few UCSB guys to answer their questions! Of course, these answers don’t hold true for all guys, but I figured it would be more informative to have a guy answer rather than a girl’s interpretive answer. Let’s be real, my guess is as good as yours.
Well, here are the Q’s and A’s provided by students from UCSB:
1. “How do you feel about a girl who ‘puts out’ on a first date?” -Michelle
-“I want her to, but she’s definitely not girlfriend material because she probably does this with a lot of other guys.” -Brain
2. “How many dates are appropriate before having sex?” -Christine
-“No specific number, it’s important to feel out the situation.” -Blake
3. “Conversely, how do you feel about a girl who makes you wait a very long time?” -Nancy
-“GTFO.” -Juan
4. “How do you feel about female body hair?” -Judy
-“The spikey hair can be annoying, but not a big deal. Armpit hair on the other hand? No.” -Peter
5. “Situation: You’ve been putting a girl on the back-burner, so she eventually stops texting you. Why is it that guys always seem to start things back up at this point?” -Lana
-“They miss the attention. A guy who does this is not worth it.” (In other words, it doesn’t mean that he’s had a sudden change of heart like we were hoping.) -Bruce
6. “Does the number of guys a girl has hooked up with bother you? Would it bother you if her number were higher than your number?” -Lauren
-“No. No one cares about that.” -Daniel (Then why do guys care about the first date thing, contradictory if you ask me.)
7. “Why are (straight) guys so fascinated by anal sex?” -Maria
-“Curiosity. To experiment. Because you’re not supposed to.” -Josh
8. “Why are guys so turned on by girl-on-girl action? Girls don’t care for guy-on-guy.” -Tiffany
-“It intensifies the hotness. It’s like what you would see in the movies” (i.e porn). -Ryan
-“Guys assume that they would be able to join in the mix, and two would be better than one.” -Seth
9. “Do guys think about the gameplay of texting?” -Summer
-“Yeah, come on. We all do.” -Anthony
-“To some extent. If she texts back too soon, it’s kind of cool, but also kind of desperate. I make her wait at least an hour before responding.” -Evan
10. “What are signs that a guy is just not that into the girl?” -Sarah
-“I’d start giving short answers, or probably ignore her altogether. I definitely wouldn’t hang out with her.” -Lee
