I have dated too many girls and not enough women in my life, and it’s about time I made the change. So what separates the two? Let me give you some examples.
A girl waits for a guy to do everything, from making the first move to making the plans and it’s always a one-way street. A woman steps up to the plate when she sees a good thing and goes after what she wants, and believes that two-way streets are the only way a real mutually beneficial relationship will ever work.
A girl misleads men by manipulating the truth and her stories, a woman refuses to do that because she realizes that by doing that he will never know the real her and will end up loving a lie and resenting her once he finds out the truth.
A girl makes decisions by the seat of her pants, sometimes literally. A woman puts herself in other people’s shoes before making decisions and her conscience prevents her from making the wrong ones that will hurt both herself and others.
A girl has no respect for herself and has no problem being treated like crap either in or out of the bedroom or both. A woman realizes that how a man treats her out and IN the bedroom is exactly how he truly feels about her. If he degrades her and treats her like a piece of meat in a disrespectful manner, then that shows his true feelings for her. Live and learn, ladies. Live and learn.
A girl thinks love is a fairy tale, a woman has experienced it and knows it exists.
A girl is romantic because she feels it is expected of her and that she might get something in return, a woman does it because making her partner feel loved makes her happy because she’s making him happy.
A girl thinks dedication can be disrupted by trivial things, a woman knows that dedication only has a few extremely major deal-breakers.
A girl is faithful to both love and/or a relationship until she finds someone she thinks is more appealing even if she’s in a commitment or in love with someone, a woman sticks to a commitment and her love for someone because the loss of love is one of the greatest losses of all and she knows it.
A girl is passionate because she’s selfish or self-absorbed, a woman is passionate because she truly does care about the person she’s passionate about.
A girl has mood swings and changes her mind at the drop of a hat, a woman keeps herself calm and collected and her decisions are usually sound and stable, even under duress.
A girl walks away or drops off the face of the planet if something is said to her that she doesn’t agree with or makes her uncomfortable, a woman disagrees but discusses the differences rationally and calmly and tries to come to a meeting point where both people will be content with the disagreement.
A girl has low self-esteem, a woman has accepted who she is and knows all of her faults and is okay with them.
A girl looks at men in stereotypical ways, a woman knows that exceptions to every rule will always exist.
A girl will be attracted to those who will forcefully man-handle them and verbally abuse them, a woman will know that the innocent charm of a “good” guy who will treat them like gold will be a much better fit for the long haul.
A girl is a coward and constantly afraid of what ifs, a woman takes the plunge and accepts life as it presents itself.
A girl plans everything in advance, a woman has learned that life is what happens when we make other plans.
A girl is afraid of having children or doesn’t want any, a woman has learned that they are life’s treasures that need to be had and wants some of her own.
A girl darts when there’s a problem, a woman rides out the waves of life until the storms pass.
A girl is excited by violence and gore or non-stop thrills or excitement, a woman could have fun at an insurance seminar and still be happy as long as the one she loved was sitting right beside her.
So, are you a girl.....or are you a woman?
