11 TYPICAL WOMEN'S SECRETS WE DON'T TELL OUR GUYS
Long story short: I'm an eyelash picker. Let Josselin not hear it, I don't want to know how terribly bad it is that every evening I pick off my mascara layer like a complete idiot. Sander finds it particularly annoying to find me on the couch surrounded by black fluff after an eyelash attack. Or worse: when he causes dark streaks on the floor while mopping due to my mascara remnants. To which I then put on my most innocent baby deer eyes (with my eyelashes that have survived the ‘pulling session’) and pretend I know nothing.
My secret hobby is bad, and above all a bit gross. I get it. But women tend to have strange habits. And so it's time to list our quirks..
1. Women occasionally play with their breasts in bed. Just because. Because breasts are actually quite nice things. We understand those men. They are like little waterbeds.
2. It probably doesn't sound very badass or anything, but we can really get teary-eyed at YouTube proposals, sad animal commercials on TV, and when we're really on a roll, also a Disney movie here and there. Like when Simba is left alone after his father Mufasa dies.
That happens in The Lion King, for example.
3. We wear bras sometimes way too long.. There are almost spider webs in them, but really, it's ridiculous. While we have a drawer full and only really like two of them.
4. Yes, we have all come across a stray tampon at some point. As in: forgetting that thing was in there, casually putting in a new one, and later pulling out the newest tampon and completely freaking out because there's another string between your legs. We don't know exactly how long the other one has been in there, and then we're terrified of tampon disease.
5. Speaking of forgetting: we also really forget that birth control pill more often than he thinks, by the way. I've taken three pills at once and told my love: ‘No honey, I'm on schedule.’.
6. In the category of eyelash picking: it also works particularly well with nail polish, by the way. On one hand, super annoying if you don't have remover on hand, but on the other hand, also très satisfying to peel it off. Especially if you have two thick layers on and can pull off a layer of polish in one go.
7. No time to shave our armpits = long-sleeved T-shirt. Everyone gets that. Oh, and greasy hair = instant ponytail.
8. And yes, you've also crawled into bed right after a workout with your sweaty body without showering because you were tired. Don't pretend it's not true.
9. We act like it's a secret where our lipstick remains. But we know it doesn't just stay on the glass we drink from, but that we literally eat it too. It's on our food, on our tongue, on our teeth, and then we find it ‘a mystery‘ where it goes. Yeah, right...
10. Every woman has a secret stash. Whether it's about makeup, cookies, or ugly underwear that feels good. Yep, we have our secret collections.
11. We want nothing to do with this entire list. Deny everything. Dirty bras? I don't do that, you know. But secretly we silently agree with every point. I see you nodding, girlfriend.
