When we were younger, we thought guys were totally different: rude, unkempt, and only made fun of girls because we were the other sex. Could we imagine that guys, it turns out, can also have emotions and feelings, that they too suffer from unrequited love or worry about a stain on their shirt? Now, after a while, many secrets have been revealed to us that prove that boys are just like us. We've compiled the most basic.
Guys love to cuddle
Most guys love a gentle hug, just like girls. Any guy I've ever dated has always been thrilled with a hug. And I've heard from many, many guys that their favorite part of dating is the hug. Remarkably, it is the lack of a hug that they regret the most after a breakup. So don't be afraid: embrace him, he really wants it badly.
Guys love to gossip
Girls often gossip, but guys also gossip just as much, and sometimes more than us. My brother could gossip for hours about all of our mutual friends and his girlfriends. When I fight with my friends or girlfriends, my boyfriend literally couldn't wait to hear the details. Guys tend not to be dramatic, but if you're close and frank with them, they won't deny themselves the pleasure of gossiping.
They worry about making an impression
A lot of people are used to thinking that guys don't care about how they look, but they don't. My boyfriend always worries about how he's dressed when we're going to go out or meet friends. Whenever my little brother is going out, he carefully chooses new clothes and a new fragrance. I know guys worry about pimples, a spot on your shirt and all that, because they also want to impress you.
Guys get worried when we don't respond to their messages
Just know that if a young man likes you, he'll care a lot if you ignore his VKontakte messages or texts. They're even willing to ask their friends for advice to deal with this sad situation.
They like "girlie" movies and shows
Most girls are convinced that guys have a persistent aversion to romantic comedies, but trust me: that's not actually true. My ex-boyfriend watched The Notebook more than I did, and he cried more than I did when he watched that movie. My two best friends and my brother are fans of "Pretty Little Liars" and "Gossip Girl" with me. And once I managed to get my young man to watch Titanic in 3D, he just fell in love with the movie.
Guys have pseudo friends
I always thought the concept of "nemesis" only applied to female friendships, and there are many reasons for that. Even though guys act more casual with their friends, they are more honest and more likely to tell it like it really is, even they have pseudo-friends. Here's why you shouldn't think that having such "nemesis" is the prerogative of only girls.
Guys take a very long time to get ready
Do you know guys who get together in five minutes?. What, really?! My boyfriend, for example, sometimes needs more time to collect himself than I do. From taking a 40-minute shower, to checking "what's new on Facebook," to choosing a shirt that doesn't need ironing. And one time when we went on vacation with a large group, I realized that we were always late for dinner because of my brother and his friends who needed to get together…
Guys follow you on facebook
Don't let them fool you – guys all over the place stalk (monitor pages and all activities on social networks) girls they like, as well as their ex-girlfriends. They don't like to talk about it, but I see my brother, his friends and all my guy friends do.
They get very anxious about breakups
When a guy breaks up with a girl he really liked (really liked) – he is very unhappy and depressed. Sometimes even more depressed and upset than the girl. When a guy gets his heart broken, he takes it very hard. I've seen my little brother suffer – he was desperate. When my boyfriend told me that he had to break up with his ex-girlfriend because of her cheating – it was the worst few months of his life, he couldn't bring himself to leave his apartment, he sat at home in front of the computer for days and didn't want anything. So don't think the guys are feeling great after the breakup. That's not true, they have feelings!
