Sex, Sports, Competition, Video Games and Cars

From A Girls Point Of View

from JoeUser Forums
The more I'm around males, the more I understand their brains (or lack thereof) and how they work. I'll never, in this life, be able to fully comprehend what runs through their minds. I know some boys are more obsessed with these then others. But, I really don't understand why. Of course, this is a hasty generalization, but I can do that, because so often times it's true.

Sex. I mean, I'm sure sex is great, but why does that have to run through their minds every 3 seconds? I guess God made them that way, but don't they have any control, not even over their own thoughts? Are there any boys out there who can't see a gorgeous girl without undressing her in his mind, without picturing her giving him head? It seems like it's constantly running through their minds.

Sports. Sports are awesome, but they don't control my life. I don't stay home on a Monday night just because it's football. I'm not so into the screen that I can't pay attention to anything else. Have your brother/boyfriend/dad ever been watching a game and you have to say their name 8 times, the last time shouting, before you capture their attention in the least bit? And even then, they don't look away from the screen. All you get is a little "huh?"

Competition. Is it for us girls? Is that why they do it, they get so competitve to prove to us that they are the dominant male? Just like dogs piss next to the mailbox to stake their territory, males seem as though they have to prove something to the world by beating other guys at whatever it is. And, if they lose they either have to beat the guy up, cuss him out, or just think about doing them. If a boy thinks that another guy likes his girlfriend he's ready to slit the guys throat. They feel threatened by other males. They don't want any other guy to be better at stuff than they are. But to sum this part up, I have to say, sadly, this isn't so much a male thing as a cultural and societal thing. I know I'm the same way. I don't want girls to beat me at stuff; I don't want a girl to be prettier or smarter than me. I want to beat them, and I suppose when they beat me, I wouldn't mind taking them out.

Video Games. I think at a certian age, guys outgrow this. (At least I'm hoping so) What is it with mindless games? Are there no boys out there who like to play skill-building games, instead of mindless games? Killing each other and racing seems to be favorites.

Cars. Cars freaking rock. Speed rocks. I'm a girl and I can say that, but I don't know every single car out there, and I don't go 80 in 35 (cough cough). I mean, come on! Being in love with cars isn't that bad a thing, I just don't see how it can be so intruiging. Isn't it that Shania Twain song where she says "you kiss your car goodnight..."? LoL

Well, even my boyfriend admitted to me the other day that all (well, almost all) guys think about is sex and sports. Granted, there are a few more, like beer, junk food, etc. but why guys, why?!?! Okay, enough of my boring ranting... moving on... to great things like painting my nails, getting a facial at the spa, going shopping, drinking tea. j/k!

lol, i definitely agree about the sex part, but about videogames... that's just not true. it's not that they're mindless... it's just that they require a different sort of mindset to get into. if you ever tried the old pac-man or super mario games you'd realize your brain actually needs to be thinking harder. most gamers drop into this sort of zen trance, which is probably what others would mistake for mindlessness.
and as for more modern videogames, you'd be surprised at how mature some of them can get (although to tell the truth, these games are mostly overlooked in favor of games like football or racing or bloody CounterStrike...). games like final fantasy 10 and silent hill 2 (to name a couple) deliver their message in an incredibly mature way while still giving players a fun time. although they aren't perfect, there are some rare games that you can walk away from feeling like you've just experienced something valuable and enriching.

There are a couple things to say about that. First, I agree for 99.99% of all guys. There are exceptions; and I'm not even saying that I'm an exception- I'm definitely in all categories- but there are some. And two, I only agree as a qualification, so let me touch on the categories.

Sex- Contraversial subject, there. I wouldn't say I think about it every three seconds, or three minutes, and there are certainly (waking) periods of three hours when I don't think about sex; but it certainly crosses my mind quite often. In my experience, the amount one thinks about sex really depends on 1) priorities and 2)how one defines sex. My priorities are in areas that not only don't include sex but by their very nature exclude sex; hence, it doesn't tend to cross my mind as often. But if your priority is a life of pleasure, then obviously sex is going to become the rice and beans of your thought. Definitions of sex also play a hugs role. If you consider me telling one of my female friends "you look fantastic today" as thinking of sex, then you can gleefully erase my comment on how often I think about sex. If you narrow it down to thinking about a person or event in a sexual manner, then it applies. If you mean how often I literally think about sex, the physical action, I think about it very, very little. Maybe a few times a day, if you don't count responding to articles like this. It's not something I'll have the privelage of worrying about for several years:)

Sports- I don't think about sports unless I'm playing them or somebody else mentions them. I enjoy playing sports but not obsessively. (except maybe ping-pong... lol...)

Video Games- I don't think about them much, but recently I've been investing about an hour or so a day to gaming, which is more than I have in some months. But a large percentage of guys aren't really in to video games.

Cars- I think about cars sometimes when I'm in my cars, but a car is a means to an end for me, and an end in itself.


All that to say, it depends on your definitions, if you'll excuse the Clintonism. For me personally, most of my thought is about people. They're the most complex thing in my life and simultaneously the most rewarding; thus, they deserve the most thought. That's my take on the subject. Sorry for my long comment:)

You're amazing, Dan. I know, my article was very sterotypical. Please keep in mind I was exaggerating a bit. I know, and sure appreciate that there is more to most guys than my article gives credit to. I appreciate your comment and article.

What's funny is that when I hang out with beautiful girls, I don't think about sex. It's when I'm alone with not one beautiful girl around me that I start really obsessing over it.
