There’s nothing that I love more than a man. A big, hunky man. AM I RIGHT, LADIES?! wink wink
But beware my honeys, there is a BIG, and I mean BIG, difference between dating a MAN and dating a BOY. Lucky enough for you sweet thangs, I’m going to help you learn how to differentiate between the two.
PSA: Differentiating a MAN vs a BOY is NOT, I repeat, is NOT based solely on age. I’ve dated guys that are 25 that are far more mature and far more MANLY than guys I’ve dated that are 35…
So, WITHOUT FURTHER ADO:
DATING A MAN VS DATING A BOY
MAN: Holds the door open for you
BOY: Expects you to open the door yourself
MAN: Pays for your food
BOY: Expects you to pay for your own food/asks to split the bill #eyeroll
MAN: Communicates his feelings/emotions calmly and clearly
BOY: Ignores you, yells at you, BLOCKS you, blames you and does NOT express his feelings/emotions in a respectful manner
MAN: Treats you like a queen
BOY: Treats you like a bro
MAN: Makes plans for the future. Has clear goals and ambitions
BOY: Doesn’t plan for the future. Only cares about the moment – aka going to the bars every night
MAN: Will invest fully in you and the relationship
BOY: Scared of commitment/hits the hills running the moment you say the word “boyfriend”
MAN: Is firm in his morals and values
BOY: Doesn’t have set morals/values – very inconsistent
MAN: Has integrity – if he says he’s going to do something, whatever it may be, he will do it
BOY: Makes endless broken promises
MAN: Stable income and work life
BOY: Broke AF
MAN: Will take you out on dates
BOY: Invites you over to “Netflix and chill”
MAN: Has intellectual conversations about the world
BOY: Doesn’t talk about anything deep and meaningful
MAN: Is there to comfort you in your times of need
BOY: Runs away from anything displeasing – he will NOT wipe away your tears, darling
MAN: Makes you feel secure in yourself and the relationship – always brings you up
BOY: Makes you feel insecure about yourself and the relationship – brings you down and makes you constantly question everything
MAN: Doesn’t put a huge emphasis on social media unless it’s work/family/friend related
BOY: Follows HELLA HOES on Instagram and consistently likes their photos
So ladies, MAKE SURE YOU DATE A MAN AND NOT A BOY!!!
