"So ya, I'll just text you later..."

Think about it. Back in elementary school both boys and girls were eating glue. Then, a couple years later in middle school, the boys were still eating glue while the girls found the glue-eating-boys entertaining to watch. Then in high school, girls were over the glue-eating-boys, so the guys switched from glue to beer. Nothing has really changed since.

Guys can master accounting and finance but, for goodness sake, asking a girl out on a date just isn't feasible. It's like asking a guy to say he is "in a relationship" on Facebook, let alone actually admitting to who he is in a relationship with. They stay in their little comfort zone, living the "ideal college boy lifestyle" until they hit about age 28 and realize how stupid they were. Oh don't worry boys, you will realize how stupid you are sooner or later.

You won't see many college guys out on dates these days either. Instead, it's always a few drinks in a bar, a night at the frat house, the awkward morning after and an "I'll text you later." So all that date money boys ask their parents for is really going towards all the alcohol they consume on a nightly basis, the late night Café Brazil runs, and condoms for the girl that finally gives into their sweet talk.

Boys, we don't hate all of you, just those of you who have chosen this lifestyle, you know who you are. I just hope that the next girl you meet in a bar you try to look at her as more than just a piece of meat, but then again, after a few beers and shots in your system, most of you are probably not going to think twice about my column.
