Searching for the Unknown

Alright, in my last post I concluded by saying that I would ask some questions of things I don't understand about girls. Just so happens that my youngest brotha Kyle is in the house to help me with this one. So here we go...

  1. Why do girls always complain about being "fat?"
  2. What goes on in the restroom that causes women to be 20 minutes late when they went in there an hour before the departure time?
  3. How many shoes does it take?
  4. Why do girls always take ponytails out and put them back in just to look the same? (KJ)
  5. Why is it that the only thing girls seem to remember about guys is the mistakes they made? Don't brownie points count?
  6. Why do girls take our words, break them down, analyze them, reanalyze them, and then turn them every which way to figure out exactly what we meant when we meant exactly what we said?
  7. When girls go to the mall looking for one thing, why do they always come out with at least three bags full of things? And why does it take them so long to find it? (KJ)
  8. Why is it that when a girl responds to the question "What's wrong?" and she answers "Nothing" that that actually means something? And more than likely that something is what you did and you should know what you did if you really love her?

With that being said, I welcome any answers that you girls may have. I'm sure there are many other questions out there and if you guys would like to add any, please feel free. Although I suggest you sign this disclaimer..."I (insert name) understand that all I say on this blog will likely come back to haunt me and I will take all the blame and not pin it all on TJust." please sign here..........................................

Okay, Toddio, here comes some female insight from your cousin in Chi-town. While I can't speak for my ENTIRE gender, here are my answers:

1. We complain about being Fat because we live in a society that constantly barrages us with a model-thin image that is all but impossible to live up to. Ever notice how many chubby funny guys have tv shows? Now ask yourself how many chubby girls/women do. Think about it.

2. Beauty takes time, baby! Do you realize how long it takes to really make one's hair look good?

3. There are never enough shoes. Ever. As long as they keep making new ones, we will want them.

4. There is an internal tightness to a ponytail that is not noticeable to the observer. This re-tailing is vital to create the ideal tension and hold.

5. I am a tad uncommon in that brownie points DO count with me. They do with most rational women (yes we do exist!). But honestly, it is easier to remember the things that cause us pain - they stick more.

6. We break down things and analyze for one reason - we're smarter than you are. But seriously, women tend to be more analytical on this level. It's because we care, to be completely honest.

7. Shopping is therapy. It takes time. Also, in regards to looking for one thing and coming home with three, refer to the shoe answer.

8. We say "Nothing" because we expect you to show us the same courtesy of analyzing everything we say in minute detail and want you to pick up why we're upset without having to say it. Try a little intuition, guys!

Wow, that was long-winded. Hope it helps, though!

Ok Todd, here's my words of wisdom...lol
1. As far as I can tell (because I don't completely understand why either) girls complain about being fat because they want people-especially guys-to tell them that they're not.
2. Some things just aren't meant for guys to know.
3. Enough to match every outfit at least. For me, that still wouldn't be enough.
4. There's gotta be something at least a little different the second time- you know like a bump, hair out of place, etc. Or maybe it's just because we're bored and it gives us something to do.
5. Haven't you ever heard that if they're mean to you, they like you?
6. We're used to doing that with each other, because we rarely mean what we say. In other words- it's just habit.
7. First of all, sometimes we run across something we've been looking for for awhile, but just now found it. And second of all, you always have to find the best deal on everything or the perfect fit, etc. Plus, no matter what you say- shopping is fun!
8. We want you to try and figure it out, and then be sweet and say you're sorry and beg for us to forgive you. Just kidding! I'm not quite sure why- it's just a natural reaction.

Well, hope that helped! Not exactly sure that I'll be signing the disclaimer....I'll have to think about it!

so far i have gathered some beneficial information as i try to grow in my knowledge of the female mind.
thomas - i would say i still reside on your end of the spectrum with the understanding of women.

I have lots of comments about women and the way their minds work, none of which are politically correct. I would share with all of you, but I'm not willing to sign that disclaimer, so I think I'll just keep my mouth shut.

EJ - I see that you have learned much being married for just 6 months. But seriously, don't be a wienie.
