Mini Rant

Why do guys hate on the bands that girls like so much?? Seriously. It's like right now, I was listening to some Honor Society in my guy friend's room while we are waiting for the film we made for our filmmaking class to export to quicktime. He's like "Who are these guys? They sound kinda good." I was like "Honor Society." To which he answered, "Never heard of them." Then he sees the CD case sitting next to my laptop and looks it over. Then he states, "Oh. They are produced by the Jonas Brothers. That's why their sound is so generic and boy-bandish."

Why do guys always lump all these bands together under one banner? And why do they hate them so much. I refuse to believe that they just don't like their music. Because I know for a fact that some of my guy friends actually have 'pop' music that has a similar sound to JB and HS sound, but isn't sung by what is commonly known as "boy bands".

I think the real reason that guys don't like them isn't because of their music, unless they are jealous of their musical talent but rather that all the girls would rather fantasize about being with a Jonas Brother than to be with a guy they already know. I think they realize that if we are attracted to guys like that, that we aren't going to be attracted to them.

And it's not to say that my guy friends aren't date worthy or whatever, but I just don't see myself dating any of them. It's not that I'm holding out on the hope that I might someday be with Alexander, Jason, Michael, Andy, Nick, or Joe - Kevin's already off the market - but I'm just not attracted to any of my guy friends in that way.

My guy friend says that the Gent's look "gay". I was going to argue with him, but it's probably pointless, so I'm ranting here.
