Why oh why?

I am a freshman, and I am proud to be here. Despite things said about this college, I came here anyway because I am proud of the black culture and wanted to see what this school had to offer in the Architecture Department. I did not come here to be hassled by financial aid (but that's off topic). I was writing referring to the article "The Game of Infidelity: Men" written by Frederick Crawford. Wow...I was shocked and appalled that a guy wrote this. As a young adult, not yet a man, I know what it is to have a good girl. I know what to do with a good girl, and I know how to keep her. If every girl were to read and believe this article, her mindset would most likely be, "What's taking so long for my man to cheat on me?"

This could lead a girl to cheat on her boyfriend because she has the slightest idea that he may be cheating on her. This ruins what could have been a great relationship. With bad relationship experiences, those experiences might lead a girl or guy to "go the other way." But digressing from that issue, this is why we can't have good relationships. Cheating. Yes, it is true that guys should not cheat on their women and vice versa for the women (another issue). One thing women need to realize is that they need to stop being so picky. They say, "Oh...as long as he's good to me and treats me like a real woman and he's handsome and intelligent...and blas' blah," when they really want something else.

I've not yet figured it out, but from conversations with some guys around the UC, freshman girls would rather be with an upperclassman. Therefore freshman males go in search for the upperclass as well. When the freshman ladies get hurt by the upperclassmen, they then rush to the freshman guys...which by that time are upperclassman as well, creating some kind of potentially avoidable cycle. But my point is we should all get out act together.
