So, I was on Facebook for a bit today, and I noticed several posts that struck me as a bit odd. In fact, over the past several days, I've seen a few posts much like these. They were different because they were about relationships (or the lack thereof), posted by girls, and actually quite correct.
It is not surprising to find posts about relationships on Facebook. I see several per day. However, these posts were different in that they were about several things I have been preaching since I started this blog. One of them mentioned the problem that many girls have about not being able to see a guy for who he is deeper down. Another mentioned how she needed to find someone who is actually willing to put her first. Not often I see several of these admissions in one day.
The other part that gets me is that... they were posted by girls. Granted, girls probably post more about relationships than guys do. However, I rarely see them admit truths like the ones I have seen recently. Usually, they are about how perfect the jerk that she is dating is. Perfect? Hardly.
Yeah, I'm taking a few more digs at girls and relationships. Most people see it that girls are experts when it comes to love, and all guys are jerks, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. Sure, many guys ARE jerks. The problem is that those are the guys that the girls are usually in love with. Whose fault is that one? Either way, girls are no better at relationships than guys are.
When it comes right down to it, these are only Facebook posts. Whether or not the poster actually learned anything from them is another story in itself. As much as I hate to say it, they were probably just posting that stuff to make themselves feel better about a recently failed relationship or crush. When all is said and done, they will probably be right back to their old (and wrong) ways soon enough. But I can only hold out hope.
Hope... that one of them actually meant what was posted.
