People think I'm a slut, but I'm not


At first glance, people assume that I'm a slut-- one of those easy, flirtatious girls who is well versed in bed and who depends on men to get fed. But i'm not. Beyond face value, I am more than that.




I used to be that shy girl, who lost weight in college, who suddenly became kind of popular. Now, I'm a 21 year old college student striving to be a front-end developer. All I do is sit on the computer. But somehow I'm extroverted and friendly. I grew up with my brother, so I picked up on 'bro' talk, a dirty mouth and humor of a teenage boy (laughs at penis jokes, cusses now and then).


Most of my close friends are guys. I know what you're thinking-- don't worry, they're not friendzoned. I'm very selective with my friends-- and the ones I do make are the best. We treat each other as 'bros' instead of someone of the opposite sex. I'm extremely comfortable with both genders (I live with 5 guys atm), but for those who don't know me too well, think i'm a slut.


I dress in low collars, because high collars make me look like I have no neck; cover my shoulders with a cardigan to ensure some respect; and wear shorts because I don't like the feeling of pants. I'm sure if men were given the choice to walk around in their boxers, I'm sure they wouldn't protest. During summers, that is my basic set. But during the winter season, I'm wrapped in layers of crap. It's just a style that works and feels best.


Most of my facebook pictures are at parties because that's the only occasion where I can see all my friends, look decent, and socialize again. I'd reunite with my girl-friends and dance until guys would come up and try to dance. I'd talk, and do my best to have a friendly conversation and to geniunely just get to know them. But never have I ever kissed or became intimate with a guy at a party--I'd always back away and be on alert if they tried.


Why? Because I've never been the type. To be honest, I'm that virgin, who waits for her first boyfriend, who'd take her first kiss, to arrive. I respect myself enough, to not let a guy I met just that night to easily take it without commitment in their mind.




TL;DR: I'm just a normal college kid who hates pants, has friends, and goes to parties. But i'm tired of hearing slut jokes behind my back like "You didn't bring any boys home tonight" and "you must be dirty". I'm beginning to get affected by their crap. Talking to guys is so much harder now, knowing what people are saying behind my back.
