Do you think that there is a stereotypical image on girls and guys in this day and age? What is it?

Boy do I, I think you open a magizine and there is a skinny female or a muscle bound man.  I think we have what we have and just to be happy with ones self.  That's all it takes.  Be glad your who you are, cause I am.\nSee ya

I agree with you to an extent. I think as a society there is too much emphasis on labeling and marginalizing people. Everyone's different though. I'm sure plenty of people are specifically attracted to one gender and not the other, while some people could potentially be attracted to/fall in love with someone of the same or opposite sex. I think people should accept love wherever and however they find it.

I have a problem with this black and white / cut and dried assumption that a girl is either pretty OR she is intelligent. Most girls have some of both qualities.\nSomewhere society has assumed if she good looking shes dumb and if shes clever she must look like a bulldog chewing a wasp. Not true.

There is a  fine line between stereotyping\nand generalizing.  Example#1: boys are discipline\nproblems in school.  Are there more boys or girls in\ndetention?  Generally boys are in trouble because\nthey are more overt in their behavior, but are\nall boys causing problems?  #2 Rednecks are crude, \nbeer drinking, pickup driving guys (or gals) living \nin trailer parks.  Jeff Foxworthy helps with that.\n#3 Blonds are dumb....enough said.

Definitely, but I'm sure it's not as common mainly because men and women have different biology.  I don't think being a particular sex prevents one from experiencing and feeling what the other sex can.  I don't know how society in general would feel about this because society does generalize and stereotype, but I'm certain a lot of men wouldn't think it was necessarily a bad thing......

It's just that people stereotype based on what they see on the media. Just prove them wrong and don't internalize it too much. \nGood luck

i don't think it's just boys in 6th and 7th grade...i think this a follows a trend of immature male behavior through many ages...i think it has to do with social condemnation and the fact that a stigma has been placed by media and society itself on the idea of being a momma's boy...then there's the whole thing that the media plays off of where anything authoritarian is viewed as being 'the man' and just trying to bring people down and they rebel against that and then there's the whole thing about "hey you give me respect or i'll blast your brains all up and down this b***h!" and people thinking that they automatically deserve some kind of worship just for living and they don't understand the concept of EARNING respect...there are many reasons...and not all of it is rooted in trying to impress girls

From your perspective that may be true but from a guys perspective it isn't right in front of him because guys think differently than girls and interpret words and behaviors differently.

girls these days seem to be thirsty for love and way too naive! i was telling my mom the other day that i'd wish there was a mandatory class for girls to learn how to not stay with abusers, throw their bodies around, and make stupid idiotic choices.\n\ni think parents aren't doing a great job these days, either.

Excuse me???  What an insulting stereotype!  I was blonde (age has turned me silver) and I was never superficial or vain.  I am also not the stereotypical "dumb" blonde...having brains enough to graduate high in my class and become an R.N.\n\nI really HATE stereotypes and callous blanket statements such as yours.  Not everyone in a certain group will fit the stereotype.

as far as what? I believe that this generation is not it 's all about image and keeping it real staying in the hood, going to jail, being shoot, having sex with many women. That what being taught in most music to the furture generation. We like it that way staying where we are and letting other do that same.\n\nWe as a people do not want to see someone get ahead of the other.

Absolutely not!  My female friends give me a perspective of life I cannot get from guys.  I am attracted to intelligent women who are interested in more than who's the current hot celeb, or who's with who - who's dumped who.  Getting fresh views of the war, the economy, ethics ... it's very refreshing getting a women's view of the world.

Personally I think it's a two way street. Both men and women stereotype the opposite sex. I think most of the women/girls that you see posting these questions are using the site to vent since they know there is going to be at least one women/girl out there who agrees that their husband/boyfriend is a jerk. In doing this they are only emphasizing the stereotype given to them by men that women are whiny, nagging, money grabbing, bitches, that hate sex. \n\nI don't really think there are any rules as you suggest but that there are common courtesies expected of both genders. Men and women both have expectations of how they feel they should be treated or respected and it is up to individuals to know what if any that there partner expects from them. \n\nAs far as rules all women have it again depends on the maturity level of the women. Most are common courtesy although the more immature women tend to have expectations that are not reasonable but this comes from not having the experience in dealing with relationships yet.

Sorry to break up this girl fest but this question is absurd. You cannot speak of men as some monomorphic entity that thinks and acts exactly the same. Sure, some 15 year old boys think this way, and since there are so many of them on the internet this may make it seem that this is how all males think, but it is not. It is just like me asking "Why are girls such sluts?" Replace Men with "some men" and reask your question. Thanks.

I think so. The media has never been completely fair to us with regard to how we're portrayed. No group of people falls into one category of anything. I'm sure it's discouraging for many of us. I think it's a shame.

Yes, I use to judge guys on the kind of car that they drove. If they had a sh*t car then I would not date them but that was back when I was 16 or so but I got over it after awhile. It was just something I thought matter at the age.
