Boys. One Track Minds.

It's Unhealthy.

You all know about TooYoung, the boy a babysat for the other week? Well, if it's possible, i've found a guy who's almost as obsessed with what is apparently a boy's favourite subject. Except this guy is seventeen. And is yet to have a conversation with me in which he can avoid the topic. And is unable to bring it up in a way that is endearing and amusing, rather being garish, uncalled for and just generally foul.

This particular idiot attempts to convince me that we're friends and that he values my company. However, we're yet to have a lengthy conversation in which he doesn't comment about my looks (which he knows very little about, seeing as we met ages ago), or about his current state of... uh, emotion, or what he's 'up' to. It's really quite gross. I mean, what on earth would make him assume that i'm interested in knowing those kinds of details every time we speak. He doesn't need to give a running commentary - he's a teenage boy, it goes unsaid.

Despite a number of comments i've made, this guy just won't get it. The thing is that (aside from the fact that blocking people always makes me feel really mean) our conversations that are about other things are fine. I'm sure he's a nice enough guy. But he's driving me insane!

And, he's not the only one! I've got another guy friend who does the same thing, no matter how bluntly i tell him to just lay off. These guys just WILL NOT GET THE PICTURE.

Another thing; if you get stroppy when i tell you to lay off? That just indicates that you have severe issues and should look into getting some therapy for those.

I know plenty of guys who are the same with my friends, face to face. Or, just your average guy who cannot go a week without some kind of comment. Now, i realise fully that guys just can't help themselves. That's fairly apparent. But what i don't understand is why on earth they just can't LIMIT themselves. Jokes and the occasional comment are fine. But guys should think about appropriateness on the whole sometimes. Constant commetns made in all seriousness are really not on. When they're in the company of a girl who obviously just wants them to shut the hell up, they really should. And they should get the point that if she doesn't want to listen now, then she probably never does.

It's just annoying me that guys are so completey inconsiderate and self-centred in some respects. Now, i don't mean all guys. Just the ones with this particular annoying habbit. So, now you know. If you're talking to me and you feel the desparate need to bring that up? I am going to give you such a tongue lashing that you'll regret it and won't be saying anything of the sort anytime soon.

Geez. Show some respect. Maybe i'm old fashioned but as far as i'm concerned, just because society is different today than it was a few decades ago, that doesn't mean that you can openly discuss absolutely everything socially these days. Some things belong behind closed doors.
