In reply to Huda. I'm glad you agree with me! It's extremely frustrating to see that what magazines are selling to girls haven't changed in the slightest since I was in middle school (in over 10 years). It's a little ridiculous, especially with all the positive changes that gender equality has taken. Thank you for reading and commenting :)

Great post! I find all these games you have to play in order to get a guy/girl attention so silly. If two people like each other, it should be simple. The fact that these magazines sell these ideas of girls having to act a certain way and guys manipulating women to get their attention needs to stop! xx

You have brought up such an interesting issue in your post. Its an obvious problem the difference in genders, whether that's how we are treated or spoken to in everyday life. And its so insightful that you have wrote about dating, more specifically what we read in magazines. It totally should just be about what works for you at the time. Its almost as though we're going to reach a point where we should be carrying around an instruction manual on dating. Thanks for raising such a good topic for discussion! x

In reply to deannasstilwell. I haven't read any Seventeen magazine in years, but i'm kinda sad to hear it isn't good anymore! I have never heard of Matthew Hussey, so I'm actually going to check him out right now! Thanks so much for reading and for the recommendation :) xxx

I used to love reading Seventeen magazine, it's complete poop now. The relationship articles were funny to read, as for men's articles I haven't really read any. I think men focus more on YouTube videos now, as I've learned from my boyfriend,but nothing offensive in the ones I've seen from my close friends watching. Have you watched any of Matthew Hussey's videos on YouTube? I love his advice and learned about his channel through my boyfriend. Deanna from deannastilwell.com :)

In reply to flippingthruthepages. While things are changing, rules are still instilled into us from a very young age. While there are differences between boys and girls, I don't think it's fair to change how someone should act while dating according to your gender. Thank you so much for reading and your thoughtful comment :) xxx

Fantastic post and yes to all the points! It seems like in our society all the rules are only for us girls. Why is that? Why the society is so male-oriented? I hate when we have to follow certain things in order to make the man happy. We are as much as free as they are and it is the responsibility of both the persons in a relationship to act and respect each other equally.
Wonderful post!
