Stereotyping In The Song Girls Just Want To Have Fun

Stereotyping happens everywhere. There is no way to avoid it because every person cannot simply interact with every type of person to get to know who he or she actually is. Due to the impossibility to have personal connections with every time of person, people start to stereotype. Unfortunately, stereotypes almost always tend to be negative. Men have been stereotyping girlfriends since forever. Everyone has heard of the guests at a bachelor’s party warning the groom that this will be his last night to have fun if he goes through with the marriage the next day. The received idea that women are anti-fun is just stupid. Hello, have you every heard of the song Girls Just Want to Have Fun? Guys seem to believe that once they have a girlfriend,

Not the stereotyped girlfriend that guys have made girls out to be, but a real girlfriend. I am not anti-fun, as I am made out to be. When I think of someone who is anti-fun, I think of a person who enjoys laying around the house all day, goes through the same routine everyday, and never tries anything out of their comfort zone. I enjoy jet skiing, rollerblading, road trips, zipling, traveling, and anything that involves being out of the house. In my opinion, these are not the typical activities of an anti-fun girlfriend.

That doesn’t mean I don’t want to do things with him, of course I do. I just mean that I don’t need him to be able to do things. I like going out with just girls to get my nails done and go shopping. Just like he likes going to get food and going to the gym with his guys. I will never tell him he isn’t allowed to hang out with his friends because I am more important. The idea that girlfriends do this and try to control their boyfriend’s life

I don’t think many, if any, girls fall into all of these stereotypes. I am a fun, non-clingy girlfriend, who only complains when it’s earned and who doesn’t try to control her boyfriend’s life. I love my boyfriend more than anyone and anything in the world because he is the only person who has always been there for me. He introduced to what a real family is. I am forever grateful for him coming into my life. I don’t think I am the stereotyped girlfriend because if I were we would have never lasted the nearly four years that we have. If I were that type of girlfriend, I would know because I would have broke up with myself by now. The person people see me as and the person I actually am are two completely different
