1. Why we take so long in the bathroom.
Gossip, makeup touch-ups and more gossip.
2. Why we go to the bathroom in pairs.
We can't gossip on our own. Since our minds are always racing non-stop, we need to be able to express ourselves to one another.
3. Why we're so emotional. No, this does not mean we are on our period. We get mad and upset and sometimes we don't even know why. Women are complicated. Bottom line.
You want to bring us a bar of dark chocolate to our door step and watch chick flicks while we cry on your shoulder? Don't mind if you do!
4. Why we say we're fine when we're not.
We want others to figure out if something’s wrong. It's not that we don't want help, we just get too upset and tired to explain why.
5. Why we date bad boys. Bad boys present themselves so easily. When we've chosen to go for the bad boy instead of the good, honest gentleman, it means we've reached a mega low. We are really just searching for love in the wrong places. Either that or we just don't think we're worthy of good, caring men.
We need to be affirmed, gentlemen!
6. Why five minutes means 30 minutes.
We really don't want to keep you waiting, so we genuinely mean five minutes when we say five minutes but then the minutes end up accidentally stretching out to become 30 minutes. It happens more often than not.
7. Why we say we want a sensitive a guy but don’t go for the sensitive guy. We don’t really want a sensitive guy, we want a guy who will be sensitive to our feelings. We're crazy emotional and need men who ground us and make us feel safe.
8. Why we spend so much time on our looks when men don’t care half the time.
We've heard men say a million times that they like us with minimum makeup and that they love us just the same in sweats as in a dress, but we can't help wanting to impress. To be quite honest, not only are we trying to impress men but also (mostly) our girlfriends.
9. Why we are so indecisive.
We don't like making decisions. We struggle because we want all people to be on board with the decision being made, so we'd rather not be the ones in charge of the final decision. Women, contrary to men, care more about the consequences of the decision instead of the decision itself. What're people going to think? Will they be upset?
10. Why we have so many shoes.
Women own about 20 pairs of shoes, on average, at a given time. Flats, heels, boots, platforms, clogs, sneakers, tennis shoes, sandals, buckled, lace-ups, peep toes — the possibilities are endless! Different colors are essential to go with different outfits. We choose shoes depending on our mood too, so sometimes we need to buy more shoes to perfectly match that mood. Shoes allows us to communicate without saying a word. A lot can be told about a person by the shoes they're wearing. For that matter, having the cutest shoes is essential. Plus, it's not like your feet are every going to lose or gain weight either so we don't have to worry if they'll still fit in the next year.
Irrational? Maybe, but to be quite honest I don’t even understand myself.
