Jared's Perspective

“No, I will not give my coat to my girl if it’s freezing outside,” I said, with utmost confidence. I know how beautiful women think, I thought to myself. My sister is beautiful(by other guys standards I suppose) and a lot tend to have the same manner of thinking when it comes to men, which is that they will use their looks as leverage. Funny, when I first thought this, I punished myself for being bitter. Now, when I actually explain and use people’s experience as proof to themselves. Funny, men are looked upon as dogs in their eyes, sometimes less.

That is not to say that there are no beautiful, nice and sweet girls out there, quite the contrary, but you must shatter their defenses first. “If her jacket is stolen, then yeah.” “You’re mean.” “No I’m not.” Interesting. When I became honest with myself, I notice that I become more open and blunt about things. This seems to be the right way.
