The Stereotypes that Men Gives to Women

Every women can't be difficult to work with or difficult to understand. I refuse to get stereotypically judged by a man who doesn't know anything about me, nor will I allow to let a man judge me for who I am; however, I know stereotypes because I was born stereotyped by my family and classmates growing up as a child, and they refuse to see that it's going to drive me into insanity. But these stereotypes are still implied to women, by careless men.

The Magazine Image - This stereotype is what a man or boy wants to have or dreams of having. I know so because it's what girls tries to look like. News flash ladies: the women in magazines are photoshopped to look perfect, just think of how distort and depressed the model of a magazine photograph will seem when they see that their body has been altered in the final print of a magazine.

The Actress - This is a stereotype that could go either good or bad. It involves a dramatic or manipulative girl in order to fit into the stereotype. The actress can manipulate a boy into thinking that she's either a nerd or a complete bimbo, just to make him like her. She can also act out like everything seems like a big deal. Sounds like anyone you know? Well, I know that I've used this stereotype to piss off the people that I hated back in High School. Oops, sorry boys but I'm an actress.

The Tomboy - This one is when a girl doesn't want to wear high heels, dresses, or skirts because of her legs. It seems fair but that it not the case in some countries. In the Philippines, "Tomboy" literally means "Lesbian", which is not the meaning of the term. The real meaning of "Tomboy" is the type of clothes that she wears.

The Nerd - This one applies to mostly Asian girls. The girls who are labeled this are either Harajuku girls or girls who wears glasses. I am a girl who wears glasses and who got labeled "The Nerd" in High School, but it is not the stereotype that I see myself in.

I am not the nerdy girl in the outside. I've always see myself as "The Actress", though that's what I've working towards because it's something that I am; however, this doesn't mean a thing, because the stereotypes can be destroyed by us women and us alone. It's something that you can completely ignore because you are not a stereotype. You are you and you alone. 

So what does the boys wants? The boys stereotypically wants "The Magazine Image" like Puerto-Rican model, Jessica Caban and African-American model, Tyra Banks. The boys who likes that kind of girls are jerks, because those girls are not the real thing.

Ladies! Remember that you are perfect in your own way. You are your own "10", so tell a guy straight at his face that he is being a jerk when he talks about wanting a model girlfriend with big boobs. Just tell yourself that he is just all talk and not cute because of his ego is messing with his mind. Please, don't change yourself because of what people are saying behind your back.
