From time to time I hear people expressing statements like "oh if girls were tough and independent, what would they need a boyfriend for" and "that girl is so successful in work, she doesn't need a boyfriend" and other assorted remarks of the like.
I think it's rubbish.
Have you ever heard someone say "oh that guy is so gentle and good in housework, he doesn't need a girlfriend"? No right? Because we realize that girls are not only good for cooking, cleaning and being gentle. They are people who provide companionship, advice, humor, support and most importantly, love.
So, boyfriends are not just for providing a shoulder to cry on or a defense against cockroaches invading the kitchen or to give financial support. They are people who provide companionship, advice, humor, support and most importantly, love.
Why would a girl who is tough, independent, smart and able of giving out a ass-kicking not need love? Toughness does not equal cold-heartedness.
Next time people say "tough girls don't need boyfriends" to me, I'm gonna tell them "so tough kids don't need parents?".
