kaylan Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) You know how we sometimes hear a woman say "I think a guy should pay for the first date". Or you ever hear a guy say "I feel the girl should be the one who cooks and cleans the most, since I plan to do most of the working" You can insert any other bs gender expectation that you like as well....like women shaving their bodies bare, or guys not getting any sort of salon work done (be it hair, nail, or otherwise) Now obviously everyone doesnt think this way...but did you ever notice that the people who tend to have staunch expectations of the opposite gender (that are grounded in outdated gender roles/norms) also tend to throw that crap out of the window if they run into someone they are very attracted to and really click with? Ive seen it happen with dudes, and Ive had it happen to me with women. Ive seen women not giving a damn about a guy paying for the first date, or pay for most things, because she was super into him. Ive seen guys not be so steadfast about chores and meals if the girl was sexy and awesome to them. In my time on this board, I have seen a few posters who have stated their expectations of the opposite gender, and throw those expectations out the window when dating someone they are really into. In which case, I dont feel anyone should ever complain about that person later when they gave them the impression they were ok with who they were. Final summation? Be who the hell you want to be and find that person who wont expect things from you that you dont wanna deal with. Not to mention the fact that gender norms/roles/expectations are societal anyways...so as long as you have some of those natural sexy attributes that cross cultures, you wont have a problem at all. Entitlements be damned, as they all fly out the window once someone realizes how sexy they find you and that you wont budge on your position. Basically, to quote the Hodge Twins, "Do whatever the FVK you wanna do!" Edited August 23, 2012 by kaylan 3
