Do girls like guys as much as guys like them?

Answer 1

NO! WE LOVE THEM MORE THAN THEY LOVE US!!!

^ I agree completely!! :) Especially in high school, most guys just want...well you know. They aren't serious, and most can't stay committed.

Perhaps I shall provide an ulterior view. The stereotypical image is that men whenever they meet a woman will immediately subconsciously gauge them as a potential sexual mate, nonetheless it is unarguable that women will view the majority of men that they meet in a similar manner. I will provide somewhat of a contentious argument but one that i believe holds its own in attempting to explain why so many women believe that they are substantially more inclined to both love and maintain this love compared to their masculine counter parts. Historically, female sexuality has been seen in many male-dominated cultures as subordinate to male sexuality, and as something to be controlled by society through restrictions on female behaviour. One may say that within these cultures the most popular conceptions of female sexuality are seen through the male view point Traditional cultural practices such as enforced modesty and chastity have historically tended to place restrictions principally on women, without imposing similar restrictions on men. As women have had these sanctions imposed on their behaviour imposed on them they have become acceptable norms of society that women are less inclined to their natural sexuality and following their cultural dependent rules of modesty and chastity. This masculine dominated sexuality culture maintains its position in contemporary times as many women still follow futile premises of sexuality such as that men should be instigators of a relationship, men should be the provider and organizer of the majority of activities and men should be the instigator of sexual relations to which the woman is expected to maintain defiance until a designated period of acceptability. It is easy to see in counter cultures like the early Indian in which tantric sexuality was a celebration of femininity that "girls like guys as much as guys like them" in terms of both a relationship and in sexuality, but many people are affected by normative cultural behaviour into modifying their feelings into something acceptable. As the people above me have demonstrated this is particularly pertinent to teenagers perhaps due to a combination of romanticized Victorian era male dominated fairytale-esque stories celebrating the cultural expectations of society with these so called 'perfect' forms of relations and the general naivety of teenagers still attempting to discover themselves.
