Over the years, I understood that there are certain things that we women-folk do that the guys just do not understand. On a lighter note, let’s see if you agree with these five things and their perfectly logical explanations:
1. We need the details, please!
We need to know exactly why, where, what with who, and for how long. Why is that important? Well, that shows that the other person, usually a guy, has thought about this, planned it, and actually paid attention to important details – that makes us feel more secure. Also, of course, we need to plan our outfits, what to pack in our handbags, and psyche ourselves up to be the best version of our own personal fabulousness.
2. We take long to get ready.
We have a lot to think about when we are going somewhere. Besides everything else we need to think about, we also must also make sure our bra straps are straight and that the wire does not pinch, the panties do not show undesirable bulges and slits, not to mention that they must also be comfortable. Sometimes just finding a panty that wears well takes a long time. It might even be the last one in the drawer and we might have to try on all ninety-six to find THE ONE! Only then can we pay attention to the rest of the outfit.
3. We take long to shop!
It really boils down to finding the right thing. We cannot, like men, just walk into a store and grab the first shirt and pants and be happy with it. We need to mentally fit the new garment into our lives. It has to fit our bodies – no use having something that is not sexy and awe-inspiring. It also has to fit in with our latest pair of shoes, the new lipstick we bought, the scrunchie with the small flowers, the super-stylish new handbag, that I must still grab from the other side of the store, my favourite sunglasses and of course, it has to be an over-all showstopper in the eyes of all my admiring friends. Yes! And don’t forget it must also fit into, preferably his wallet.
4. We go beserk if someone has the same outfit on as we do!
If you would comprehend the massive effort described in points 2 and 3, it will be a logical conclusion to crumble and have a melt-down in total dismay, for the thought of all the effort made to be exquisite, only to find that a “friend” has more exquisiteness than you in the same dress. Especially when hers fits like a glove, and even picks up on the highlighted colour strands in her hair and her sandals!! Yes- we notice things like that.
5. We go to the bathroom together.
No explanation needed here. Just look at the diagram. It explains the whole thing perfectly.
Fact of the matter is that we are women-folk and that is how we roll. Take it or leave it. Women-folk, take Aunty Acid’s advice: If you are going to be weird, at least be confident about it!
