^Oh my gawd, I hope nobody's stupid enough to do that, guy or girl, but I guess not...
I know this was a while back, but... what? I've always been a "guy's girl", but maybe I avoided the slut thing by wearing ugly glasses and being a nerd. Who knows?
Girls are WAY crueler than guys. A guy will just punch you in the face or insult you loudly, and you get angry, you get over it, you make up or you don't. A girl will pretend to be your friend and then turn everyone else against you behind your back. Or, worse, a girl will consider you to be her "friend", but look down you because you're not as cute as she is, and constantly insult you by trying to make over not only the way you look, but the way you act and who you are.
...Yeah, personal experience.
Interestingly, a lot of people think that gay guys act like girls socially. That's not really the case. (I know most of the gay population of my college town, so yeah.) Yes, they do have drama and it doesn't usually involve punching people in the face, but it lasts max a few weeks and then it's over. Girls hold grudges more, I think.
Also, sensitive guys without gross muscles and with curly hair and long eyelashes FTW. (Maybe this is just my taste from my boyfriend of 3 years, who I am very much in love with.)
To the guys (and girls I guess): Are you put off by a girl who has guy roommates, even if they're gay? What's so different about roommates as opposed to having a brother or a father in the house? Heck, I'd be a LOT more awkward if I saw my dad naked, or a brother if I had one. At least with my friends, I can laugh it off.
Also, guys: Do you get offended by the media (particularly advertising) portraying guys these days as uber-casual, barbequeing, sports-watching, smelly oafs just for a laugh? Personally, I think that sexism (even "reverse") with humor is still sexism.
