10 Things Women Do That Men Don’t Understand
Over the past week, I’ve been noticing things that women do that I would never find myself doing or even fathom the reasons behind. As a man, I have come to accept that I will never really understand women or their thought process. And while the following 10 things will always be a mystery to me, I would like to think one day I might have a better understanding of the opposite sex.
1. Playing With Your Hair - It’s cute, I admit that, but sometimes it seems like you’re disinterested.
2. Unintentional Flirting - Some people are just overly nice and when they’re just being “friendly” it comes across as flirting, which is extremely confusing.
3. Driving 25 in a 40, Then Driving 40 in a 25 - At times it seems like all you should care about in your car is blasting “Since You’ve Been Gone” by Kelly Clarkson while belting out the lyrics and texting friends. Those are the times select drivers tend to “forget” what the speed limit is by being so preoccupied.
4. Feeling Self-Conscious About Looks Even When Extremely Attractive - Come on, you’re a beautiful and attractive woman, and yet you still feel ugly and fat? You’re underweight for God’s sake! And all the purging… it does wonders.
5. Becoming Emotional Randomly - On occasion, women become emotionally overwhelmed and just like with Mother Earth and her earthquakes, these events strike without warning.
6. Swooning Over Shiny Brooding Overprotective Vampires - I haven’t seen Twilight, but from what I have gathered, it is like Buffy the Vampire Slayer except the female lead is submissive. For some unknown reason, women want to be stalked by a creepy pale guy in a leather jacket, as long as he looks like Robert Pattinson and sparkles in the sunlight.
7. Gossiping About Other Women - From a young age, girls are taught to spread vicious rumors about one another and label each other with terms like “slut”, “whore”, or “bitch”. I don’t understand what that accomplishes.
8. Obsessing Over Shoes - Never understood the need for more than one good pair at a time. Maybe a dress pair and a running pair too, but not really anything to accessorize with an outfit.
9. Idealizing Slutty Heiresses and Actresses as Role Models - Why are Hollywood’s stars such big hits with teenage girls and older? Do they want that life too? Being chased by photographers trying to capture a compromising picture of me doesn’t sound like the greatest life.
10. Taking At Least 2 Hours To Get Ready Before Going Somewhere - Guys take 20 minutes tops to get ready for an outing, no more than an hour when it’s something important like a date. Some women take much longer than that and are not even ready when the man arrives at their door.
