Their brains aren't as well developed as female ones.

Well surely not all guys are like that. Many do just say it. But others ain't really like that I guess. It's just the way they are!

"If God wanted women to understand men, football would never have been created." - Roger Simon

Because teenage girls love to sit around in groups and think up great "put down lines" for guys that tell them that they like them. How would YOU like to tell a guy that you like him and have him laugh and say something really cruel and insensitive, huh? No one likes sarcastic, nasty rejection..not even guys. So, that's the reason that teenage boys do not tell girls that they like them.

No matter how cynical you get...you just can't keep up.

good one texas

The more you know about anything, The more you know about everything.

Yes it is abosolutely true
It is just the way it is and it won't change

texas is quite right, you know, and i should add that not all teenage guys are like that. i remember me liking too much a girl from my class and i went and told her everything. she said "oh, how sweet but i see you only as a friend" and then the next day everyone in class knew it and she also had told mean things to her girlfriends about me so girls need to be better too

Amen to that!! Girls are cold & heartless creatures when they're teenagers (ok, maybe not all of them, but often they are )
You all scare the shit out of us, gosh!!!

We could return the question to you, why is it that girls often act like a bitch when a guy finally dares to tell the truth???

HAIL TO THE EMPIRE!!!

I'm not heartless.
And I honestly don't see how girls do find enjoyment out of putting guys down. I know I never would and I will never say anything like that to others or my friends. I'm not that sort of teenage girl. I want to build up guys confidence but they put a wall there so it doesn't work. I understand why guy put up a wall. I do too. I just thought that we are so different that there would be another reason. I am sorry to all the guys that have been hurt by cruel teenage girls. It's not nice and I know.

What happened? I know it's kinda understood but I'm very wealthy. Does anyone have any mustard I can borrow?

agree with texas. i didn't ask a girl out till year 11 and while she said yes, we never eventually went out, but it took me ages to get the courage to ask her because i was afraid she would say no.

i'm supposed to have a good memory only i can't remember how to use it... i ran away to leave the circus...- paul dempsey

oh my god...you waited until you were all of 11....when all those 6 and 7 years old were out having the time of their life....?
I would say many teen age boys aren't all into their feelings anyway...
Just as many of them will say they like a girl when they actually don't (anyone ever hear of that dance?) as the ones who are worried about getting all rejected and put down. ALL teenagers are worried about rejection. So maybe they'll chose either the offensive or the defensive position.
I never insulted any of them...I was never into hurting anyones feelings...though I'm sure there were several who most definitely deserved it.

Quite simply I let my fear get in the way. If I had it all to do over again there's one young lady I went to high school with I'd have surely asked out. Instead I ended up settling and marrying someone I didn't really Love. Divorced now, I'm back "out there"...it's okay though...life goes on, and I won't make the same mistake twice!

Being a teenager is a cruel world... in that age boys act tough and are a bit more straightforward in teasing and all that wich goes into being a teenager whereas girls can be more cruel than boys cause their cruelty is more emotional :/ ... i'll have to say that i'm with Texas on this one ...

" a closed mind is like a closed book, nothing but a brick of wood"

I think a lot of correct answers have been covered here, but I think there is one more.

As males, we are not really taught to be expressive, or emotional. In the past few decades, there has been (and rightfully so) a focus on how females have been somewhat marginalised by society. And of course that margnialization was real.

However, there has been little attention paid to the roles males are expected to adhere to, and there is just as much pressure for us as there is for females.

We have all heard of the grossly unfair double-standard where if a guy sleeps around, he's a stud. If a girl does it, she's a slut. Hopefully we are all now of the mind that the insulting term "slut" is equally applicable to both genders. My point however is that there is an opposite, yet equal double standard. If a girl remains virginal and ... pure, that is viewed as a quality. If a guy is such, he is viewed as weak or unmasculine. This opinion is held by members of both genders.

I lost my virginity in my 20's with a girlfriend who was not a virgin. It did not bother her one bit that I was a virgin, but there are women who would find that odd, and maybe even view it in a negative light.
During my teen years, there was obviously pressure to have sex, but that pressure did not stem solely from the raging hormones within. It also came from the perceptions associated with my entry into manhood. That men are expected to be the leaders, to be strong, to know the ropes.

Someone else here quite rightly said that it is part of a fear of rejection. What I said above plays into that. However it's not simply fear of rejection from the girl/woman in question, but also that he may be perceived as weak by members of his own gender. This is of course crap to a certain extent, as when you're not having sex, you think everyone else is. This is not the case when you're a teenager, as other teenagers are not having sex as often as you may think.

I hope you understand what it is I'm trying to say. I am not a feminist, though I think there are many virtues to that philosophy. However, it often fails to recognise or address the issues and presures facing males, and I personally believe there are just as many.

One final thought, life gets a lot easier in this regard when you get past the teenage years.

Maybe they prefer to play football

Because we are too much afraid of being rejected...

Je grimperai sur l'espace lumineux,
Je traverserai l'esprit de la terre,
Je cheminerai dans la lumière
Et j'atteindrai l'étoile.

It's just about fear if otherone isn't feeling same and then all dreams are wiped away at once...
i'm not saying it's reasonable, but maybe love never is fully reasonable anyway

I was and probably still am for a big part too shy to do that.

I have to say Texas is only half right...he puts too much emphasis on the bitchy teenage girl excuse. I think it is quite simply fear of rejection.

Actually, I did tell girls how I felt about them. That's when I was more open to the girls back then. Now I don't even say a word to girls in case they think I'm hitting on them.

Things change...

Not all guys are like that......obviously. But anyway, why does it have to be the guy's job? Why don't you tell the guy that you like them? Just something wrong with some people's tongues apparently. Anyway, speaking from a personal point of view, i wasn't interested in girls, relationships and dating when i was a teenager. I couldn't be bothered with any of that stuff when i was a kid.

thats wot i m talking about,man! ur good.

Being a teen means being immature even if you think of yourself otherwise (".... i already now everyhing blablabla..."). So you really wonder why teens behave like they are supposed to behave? Life would be boring if you were born and already have the abilities, knowledge, experience and mindset of a 25 year old.

I do whatever the voices in my head tell me to do......
