Men are from Mars, and if I were one I would stay there

July 4th, 2003 with 87 views

I don’t understand guys at all.

During lunchtime, Male Blockmate 1 was looking for Kim because she wasn’t at the table with the block like usual. When he asked me where she is I gave him a knowing look and said, “Oooh, you’re looking for Kiiiim!!!” I thought he’d just laugh it off but to my surprise, he got all pissed and started calling me, “Immature! Immature!” (Like he has every right to do that because he’s the most mature guy on the planet!) I just stared at him as he started saying how he liked me because I was a serious, mature person, but I guess he doesn’t like me anymore because I’m such immature brat for teasing him and wanting a little fun. O-kay. I didn’t realize that all mature people sit around looking serious all day while pondering on the mysteries of life or something. I don’t do that, so I guess that makes me one very immature person.

When I was halfway done with my food, I looked up and saw My First Secret Crush standing by our table, minus the girl from my block that he’s always with. The takoyaki ball I was eating fell off my chopstick when went over the the empty seat right next to me. I tried to look like cute guys sit next to me all the time, but inwardly I was very thrilled. Now’s my chance!

Tina mentioned to me once that My First Secret Crush lives very near my building. I thought this might make a good conversation starter so a little later, I asked him, “Where do you live?”

It seemed to take centuries but eventually, My First Secret Crush looked up from his food. He stared at me and said, “I live….in a house.” before exerting all his brain power and concentration into eating his takoyaki balls. He didn’t say it like he was kidding, and if it was a joke, I didn’t get it. I didn’t attempt any further conversation with him and when he was done, he moved to the empty seat next to Kayelle.

Bah. I don’t get it!!! Why can’t I seem to have a decent conversation with guys at school? Is there something wrong with my hair? My face? Or is it the fact that I’m such a social retard around guys because I’ve been going to school with girls for waaaaaay too long?

Pffft. Whatever. I’m not wasting my time on attempting to understand the male species anymore.

    What are you talking about?!?! Lauren’s the most beautiful person on earth.

  3. Jonathan on July 4, 2003 07:25 pm

    How dare you, Lauren’s extremely beautiful, as well as coming across in her journal as being a highly intelligent young woman.
    Lauren, if those guys don’t want to talk to you, it’s because they aren’t capable of holding an intelligent conversation. Don’t waste your time on them!

  4. Lauren on July 4, 2003 07:57 pm

    Ooh, and I bet you are so gorgeous that guys are just dying to be within ten feet from you. =P

  5. Mariela on July 4, 2003 09:42 pm

    I just read your ‘first entry’. You started writing when you were ten? That’s like wow! My little sister is ten, and I can’t image her writing like you did. Just had to say I’m impressed :)

  6. beth on July 5, 2003 03:33 am

    erm…if lauren’s ugly, then I’m like, an ogre 8-O

    :sigh:

  7. lala on July 5, 2003 05:21 am

    maybe the guy’s not intelligent enough to hold a conversation? you should feel more confident about yourself. you already have a guy so you know you’ve got something that guys like.

  8. Jean on July 5, 2003 07:31 am

    i think they are just nervous are yah because you’re so purdy *^^* makes sense doesn’t it? most people get nervous around the people they like or think they’re hot or whatever.

    girl will never understand guys and guys will never understand girls. :mrgreen:

  9. Paula on July 5, 2003 07:49 am

    There’s something wrong with the guy Lauren, definitely not you…None of the guys that I met in ADMU resembles anything like your crush’s attitude…

  10. Allen on July 5, 2003 10:59 am

    Don’t mind what Trisha said. If people made negative comments about you it is because they themselves are “FUGLY”!!!
    Don’t let these low life people look down on you because for me you are beautiful no matter what they say. :razz:

  11. Kent on July 5, 2003 11:01 am

    The guy is a BIG JERK!!! That’s all there is to it!!! :lol:

  12. Tyrone on July 5, 2003 11:04 am

    Not only nervous but also no sense of humor. I guess some filipino guys think they are cool but in reality they act stupid, ignorant and asshole jerks who thinks they can get any women they want. :razz:

  13. Allison on July 5, 2003 11:06 am

    yup you got that right. Some pinoy guys think they are DA MAN! HAHAHA. Actually they are arrogant, narcissist A*hole who thinks they are cute :grin:

  14. Jason on July 5, 2003 01:31 pm

    Are you talking about me?

  15. Lauren on July 5, 2003 04:14 pm

    I know. That’s why I don’t like dating Filipino guys. I don’t get their sense of humor at all. :-?

  16. Lauren on July 5, 2003 04:15 pm

    Aww, you’re not an ogre! Not to sound lesbian or anything, but you’re really cute. :)

  17. Lauren on July 5, 2003 04:16 pm

    Thanks! :D Hehe, I think my earlier entries sound so precocious.

  18. sasha on July 5, 2003 10:54 pm

    so many filipino guys are big jerks. Stereotypical ateneans and lassallites especially. They won’t talk to you unless you measure up to their standard of pretty. I’ve encountered my fair share of assholes.

    But then of course, there are guys that aren’t like that and are the sweetest things on earth. You just have to find them. I’ve found that southridge guys are great and a select few ateneans. take kayelle’s brother ziggie for example. He’s cute, funny, down to earth, and one of my really really good friends. hehehe. BTW. If kayelle invites you for thanksgiving dinner at her place don’t think twice about going. It’s FABULOUS!!! I was there this year and the food is so good!!

    but anyhoo, back to the topic. if the guy acts like a jerk to you the first time you meet him, it might just be his defense system and he might be shy. but if it’s more than once, then he’s an asshole and you should just steer clear of him.

  20. Stephanie on July 6, 2003 12:59 am

    Boys are stupid. Point-blank. :brokenheart:

  21. KENT on July 6, 2003 01:18 am

  22. cArYn on July 6, 2003 01:31 am

  23. Wie=Wei on July 6, 2003 05:26 am

    :roll: …It’s like they have any real sense of humor at all!!! :mrgreen:

  24. felisha on July 6, 2003 03:47 pm

    I don’t quite understand guys too, that’s why I don’t talk with them and they end up thinking that I hate them. 8-O

  25. moochs on July 6, 2003 11:03 pm
