While women have recently been busy celebrating Women's Week, reclaiming their vaginas through the Vagina Monologues and seeing movies like "What A Girl Wants," men have had to take a back seat.
Some may argue that men can celebrate their manhood everyday. They point out the fact that our university bears the name of part of a man's anatomy. They also argue that the entire campus is centered around the largest phallic symbol in East Central Indiana.
Well, they can have their school name and bell tower because that's not what men want. I've spent the past few days talking to men to find out what they do want. Here is the list:
Sex: Turns out the guys who said they based their relationships mostly on sex were currently single. The guys who said they based their relationships on qualities like personality, compatibility and shared common interests already had girlfriends. Usually, their girlfriends were within hearing range.
The "look": Guys want to look cool without having the appearance of trying to look cool. It's complicated to explain if you don't understand, so on to the next item on the list.
Simplicity: Guys like to keep things simple. To the women -- if you go to class all decked out with the J. Lo sunglasses and 4-inch strappy sandals, more power to you. But do your feet and your dad's credit card a favor and return the unnecessary items. As my friend Nicole says, "It's one thing to wear the J. Lo glasses, it's another thing to think you are J. Lo."
Me time: When guys are in their 'zone' nothing else matters. Approaching guys while watching television, sleeping or other personal moments is highly advised against. If you do happen to approach a guy while he is in his 'zone' and you're talking to him, chances are he's not really listening.
Naturalness: If hair is growing there and it's on a guy, let it be. Some guys don't want to pluck, wax, shave or use some other hair removal process. They are aware of ways to remove the hair, and some feel it's a way of removing their manliness.
Tommy Rector: The men (and women) of the BSU community want a voice on the Muncie City Council. Students want someone they can relate to and easily approach, and Tommy Rector is their guy.
To be approached: Ladies, pay attention. If you see a guy you are attracted to, approach him, extend your hand and introduce yourself. If you're in one of Muncie's fine bar establishments, go ahead and buy him a drink. You'll make quite the impression and he'll be bragging to all of his friends for days.
Final thought: When you come across a guy named Peter, Dick or Johnson, be nice to him. You have no idea the ridicule he has gone through.
