We're Really Not That Complicated

An abbreviated guide on what women are really thinking.

We're Really Not That Complicated
new now next

Okay so lately I've been hearing a lot of people talking about how they don't understand women and it's kind of confusing to me. Maybe it's because I'm probably one of the lowest-maintenance people you'll ever meet, but a lot of women out of there can probably identify with me. I feel like the image of women being hormonal/angry that's perpetuated by society is unfair, making it somewhat difficult to destroy the stereotype. I'll be the first to admit that sometimes I'm just hangry and won't tell you what's wrong, but I'll usually be honest with you. Guys, you should take notes.

1. "I'm fine."

Okay so this one could go either way. Is she smiling or do her eyes look blank? If you chose the second one, she is definitely not fine. You better start apologizing now. She probably wouldn't mind a bouquet of roses. Or chocolate. If she was really smiling, it's okay to just believe her. Don't keep bugging her about if she's actually fine or not, because that actually might make her irritated with you.

2. "What do you want for dinner?" "Oh I don't care."

Sometimes she might actually not care about where you go, but sometimes it's just a statement that attempts to see how much you actually listen to her when she talks about her favorite and least favorite foods. I hate most breakfast foods, so I just hope that with enough times I've ranted about my hatred for pancakes, you won't suggest IHOP.

3. "Oh that looks like it'd be interesting!"

This is an indicator that she probably wants to go do/see whatever you just talked about. This is also kind of a bait to see if you'd be willing to do things that she likes. I really don't 100% love football, but if the guy I'm talking to/dating wants to watch a game, you better believe I'll be there trash talking the refs and yelling at the kicker for missing the field goal.

4. "Wow, he got her the prettiest flowers."

Okay so I definitely have done this before. If I make it a point to tell my significant other about someone else's life and relationship, it probably means I wished he'd do something similar for me. I really could only get flowers once and be fine because they die anyway, but it's the thought that counts. Actually, just get her something she likes. I would probably be happier about getting a box combo from Cane's, so adjust according to the woman!

5. And the famous "What did you just say?"

Chances are, she probably heard what you said. And she didn't like it. You should quickly reevaluate how you just came across and sincerely apologize.

See guys, this is a shortened version on the guide to women. If you follow these guidelines, you and your lady might have a much less tense relationship.

Disclaimer: Not all women are the same so please adjust to suit the personality of your significant other.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
