What is that...?

I know practically nothing about football. This afternoon, I was watching the purdue/notre dame football game with some friends on t.v. Randomly, I'd lean over to my boyfriend and ask him a question about what was happening on the screen. He'd explain it to me and leave it at that.


My mom went to a party with a few of her friends. One of her friends complained to a few guys they were with that she had no idea how to do the electric slide. The guy got up and showed her immediately how to do the dance so that she could enjoy herself. My mom told me that this same woman had been doing the electric slide gracefully the week before.


A common one is from Mean Girls. Cady (Lindsey Lohan) wanted to get the attention of hot guy, Aaron Samuels. What did she do? "Uh, I don't get this...can you help me?"


Being ditzy helps girls out. Need some attention? Ask a question. Pretend you don't know. Or, in the case of my football inexperience, ACTUALLY don't know. Girls can get away with that. They can ask the DUMBEST questions and no one really thinks much of it. She may get some rolling eyes, but that's about it. A female can be completely uninformed on a situation and nothing bad will happen. It's life.

Tide-to-Go?

I went home this weekend, so I am typing this from the comfort of my bed in my hometown. My high school was having it's homecoming, and I had to be present to pass on the crown to the next homecoming queen ('07 homecoming queen, baby!). After the football game was over, my friends and I went to a party. During the laughing and talking and snacking, a male friend of mine realized that he had gotten BBQ sauce on his bright, white polo shirt. It wasn't something that was horribly noticeable, but it was noticeable to him and to the people there when it was pointed out.


So what did he do? He asked if someone had a tide-to-go pen. He was going to go ask the mom of the girl whose house we were at if she had one. We stopped him. Why? Because we knew that she would laugh in his face just like we did. Yes, there was a possibility that she might have a tide-to-go pen, but it was the fact that a male was asking for one. A guy was SO concerned with his appearance that he wanted to fix his small problem.


Now, if a girl had spilled something on herself, she could have made a big deal and no one would think any differently about her. Girls can be so wrapped up in their appearance, and no one will give it a second thought. The minute a guy overly worries about his physical appearance is the minute he is considered gay by all his close friends. And possibly some strangers.

“No, I’m not being mean. It’s just my time of the month.”



You’ll never hear a guy say that. If you do, something might be wrong with the functions of his body and he might need medical care immediately. While the side-effects of PMS are usually quite unpleasant for most females, they can definitely use them as an excuse. No man is going to fight against a woman claiming pre-menstral syndrome. If he does, he’s really got some guts. If the girl really does have PMS, he is going to get a VERY nice talking to.



Girls, if you are in a terrible mood, how many times have you heard a guy say, “she’s probably PMSing”? I’ve heard it a lot. Guys usually think that if you are having an off day, it can be blamed on your monthly visitor. While that can be annoying if your bad mood are ALWAYS blamed on PMS and NEVER blamed on something the guy may have done, it can also be a blessing.



If you just wanna be grumpy for a day, but don’t have any particular reason for it, girls can pull this one off. “I’m just in a bad mood” doesn’t cut it for most people as an excuse. “I’m just PMSy” does. Always.



And, another great thing that you can blame on PMS…food intake. “I’m CRAVING chocolate. It’s my time of the month…it makes me feel better.” Isn’t that a blessing in an odd form?

This is an update

Guy Try

Well, I am a very fair person. Therefore, every week I plan on having "Guy Try of the Week." This will consist of me explaining an argument most males would use for something that makes them better. I won't leave anything out; girl scouts honor. (I really did used to be a girl scout, promise!)

Of course, then I will come back with my own side of it.

For my first week, I will do something that most men always say when it comes to why men are better. Pregnancy. It cannot be denied; women can get pregnant and men never have to deal with that risk. Yes, they have to deal with the risk of their girlfriend or wife getting pregnant. However, they don't have to deal with the pain and weight gain that comes with pregnancy.

There is an intense amount of pain that comes with giving birth. Women have to deal with a baby coming out of a place that, well, is not the size of a baby. There is nine months full of aches and the unpreventable pounds added to undesirable places.

I guess I'll give this one to the guys.

Wait.

While women do gain a lot of weight while they are pregnant, they have an excuse for it. Men do not have a reason for their beer bellies other than the fact of drinking too much beer and exercising too little. When a woman is pregnant, if she craves something, she can eat it. Want to eat peanut butter straight out of the jar? Go for it, you're pregnant. Another great thing is that the woman is straight-up catered. "Oh, you want that jar of peanut butter on the highest shelf? I'll get it for you, since you're pregnant." A girl can mention to her boyfriend that he is gaining weight and needs to go to the gym...if a girl is pregnant, she CAN'T go to the gym. It might hurt the baby.

And the pain that comes with giving birth? It just proves how strong a woman is. No man will every go through that pain. It could be the worst pain in the entire world; men will never know. Women are beasts (in a good way).

My favorite part? When pregnant, women get an overload of estrogen. Which means an intense amount of moodiness and emotional outbursts. Even if a woman is not feeling extra moody...get this...SHE CAN FAKE IT! Being pregnant is an excuse to let out all of your frustrations. The woman will also not get yelled at...I mean, come on, she's pregnant...she's emotional...

Sorry, guys.

We were drunk...

Sometimes, you don't plan for how things are going to happen. It might not be your intention. But when drinking alcohol, sometimes things can get a little crazy. You might make a complete fool out of yourself. You may say some inappropriate things. Maybe you might kiss someone that under normal circumstances, you would not.

One of my favorite songs right now speaks of just that. Katy Perry's song, I Kissed a Girl, talks about getting a little wild and kissing another girl. Does anyone see anything wrong with that? Nope, not at all. It is clearly explained that she was a little tipsy when it happened. She doesn't regret it, and that's okay. That's how most girl kissing girl stories are. I dare someone to find a man who would be against a girl kissing another girl. There may be a few, but they are hard to spot. Girls don't usually say anything against it. I mean, come on, they were drunk.

Imagine this situation.

Jim is having a party. Bob was at the party. He had a few beers and one too many shots. He is going a little crazy: stumbling around, laughing uncontrollably, etc. After everyone else leaves the party, Bob stays to play a few rounds of COD4 with Jim. Jim gets overly excited when his kill to death ratio is 35 to 3. Bob gives him a congratulatory high five with a hug. Still a little tipsy, they go a bit overboard and a peck on the lips is involved.

WHOA!
HOLD UP!

Get my point? Two straight men kissing is not accepted by most people in society. This is not anything against homosexuals; I am JUST talking about straight men. People cannot just pass that off with, "they were drunk." It just does not work.

What are you wearing?!

What is wrong with the following image?

Answer that question however you might like. Now...what is wrong with the next picture?

Other than the crazy amount of alcohol this man must have been drinking, did you notice what he was wearing? Of course you did. If you didn't, your vision might be slightly impaired, which then I must ask why you are even reading a blog. The male in the photo is wearing a very unflattering dress, complete with heels, garters, and a beautiful hat.

In the first photo, the punk princess was wearing a tie, wallet chain, and other things typically associated with male clothing. However, she looks hip. Avril sporting a tie became a fad in girls everywhere. I don't believe that wearing floral print dresses will ever become a male fashion statement.

So, what's my point?

Woman can pretty much wear whatever they feel like wearing that day. If they are most comfortable in ratty jeans and a band tee, they can go out in public and not get any weird looks. If a male goes outside in women's clothing, he will either be treated as a homosexual or a drunk. Either way, mothers will be taking their children to the opposite side of the street while scolding them for staring. It's just not socially acceptable.

This is something that has changed over time. It used to be that women always wore dresses. Things differ greatly now. Women can wear dresses, pants, shorts, sweats, etc....whatever might be suiting their mood. Men, however, went from wearing traditional male clothing...to wearing traditional male clothing. There is no getting around it.

What does this mean?

Superior Sex

People always wonder about the battle of the sexes. Are men better? Are women? Well I am here to tell you that the battle will never be won. Arguments will continue on this topic until one sex is extinct. However, I can guarantee you that women have the advantage in life most of the time. There are so many things that women can do that men most certainly cannot. Not necessarily that it may be illegal for a male to do something, but that it would go against what is normally accepted in society.
As you probably expected, I have been a women my entire life. Believe me, after so many years of experience, I can pretty much tell you exactly what a women can get away with. There is definitely a lot. No one can tell me that I don't know what I am talking about, since everything I write about will be something I have either experienced or have researched in depth. I will be writing 2-3 times a week most likely. Each entry will be based on a different thing that women can get away with that men cannot; it will probably be based either on society or legal issues.
I have always been quite interested in the differences in genders. I have also been fascinated by just how differently people are treated based on whether they are socially acceptable in a skirt. A lot of my close friends try to tell me differently, but I simply do not listen to them. In my mind, women are the superior sex.
