As a lot of you know, I'm a student worker on campus at the college I go to (well...for a few more weeks, anyway!). I work as a computer technician, and our department mainly has guys in it...there are just a few other girls, and I'm the only female student worker. I used to get annoyed as hell whenever a guy would ask, "Do you want me to carry that?" or something of that nature if I was totin' a monitor or whatever somewhere. I was walkin' down the hall once with a male technician, and I was carrying a monitor. He was like, "Everybody is staring at me and thinking I'm an ass for making you carry that...give it to me!" and he ripped it out of my hands. It used to make me annoyed...but...lately...I've been findin' that I enjoy it. I like it when I pick up a big printer, and three guys drop what they are doing to run over and ask me if I need help. I decline...but sometimes they just take it from my hands. However, it no longer annoys me. In fact...I must confess...I kinda enjoy it now! Don't get me wrong...I'll still carry my own stuff...but, if a guy offers now, I'm more inclined to just say, "Sure" or at least let him help me. It kinda makes me feel more "girly" and feminine...whereas I think people often see me as a little rough around the edges. It's also cute too because the guys always seem so proud and strong after carryin' somethin' for me. *lol* I've been thinkin' that it's kinda nice to be the ole damsel in distress sometimes. I've proved my strength to them in the past in various ways...so...why not enjoy a little help?
Any other girls feel that way? Or am I gonna got my ass whooped?? I know some gals think that it's just horrible to feel that way because girls should never let guys do things for them because some see it as admitting our gender is weak or something.
