The Boys

Girls floors get a lot of rather alliteratial nicknames, most of which have to do with our sexualization. Virgin Vault, Whore Hall, the sort of names that make hardcore feminists foam at the mouth. I can't say that I ever was upset at either of those names, I'm not that sensitive about sexism that I take any of those names seriously. Anyway beside more cattiness and more girls' bathrooms, I didn't find it that much different than any other floor. There were always guys around anyway. The Adopted Guys of the Girls floor. Even when David had to move out of Helene's room because of her new roommate he was on the floor more often than not. Joining David as resident Adopted Guy were the boyfriends and Cody.

Cody had a thing for Tara. Somehow she has a way of attracting men who were seeing someone else. Maybe she liked the idea that they were unavailable, I don't know, I just know they were the only ones she ever seemed to attract. My personal theory is they seemed safe to her, so she was more willing to be physically affectionate with them. From my experience, men are insanely afraid of rejection, so a woman who is willing to be physically affectionate before they ask them out thins out there chance of being rejected. And Tara, like I said, just wanted a man to pay attention to her, and she was much more addicted to drama than I was. Cody was Tara's pseudo-boyfriend, a guy who was crazy about her without her having to deal with actually having a boyfriend. Not fair to Cody, but it made him one of honorary girl floor members. We even one night did his hair and make-up and dragged him to a floor meeting. He must have really liked her. I actually have a picture of him in a bra still I think.

Overall I think the guys of the girl floor had a rough gig. They were all nice guys, but got in with a weird crowd.
