11 TYpical female things we keep from our men
Long story short: I like to pull at my lashes. Don’t let our beauty editor know though, I know like no other how awful it is pull off my mascara at the end of the night. My boy hates it even more when he finds his way to our couch and it’s covered in mascara residue. Or even worse: while he’s mopping the floors the black mascara only smears out more and leaves a trace on the floor. After which I look at him with my puppy dog eyes (with all the lashes I managed not to yank out) pretending like I have no idea what happened.
My secret hobby is bad, and pretty gross too. I get it. But women just happen to have odd habits. And it’s time to sum them up.
1. Occasionally women will play with their boobs while they’re in bed. Why the heck not. And it’s not like men don’t understand this. Think of them as mini waterbeds.
2. This doesn’t sound too badass, but women can easily start sobbing while they watch YouTube proposals, upsetting animal commercials on TV and even Disney movies will get us going. When Simba’s father Mufasa dies in The Lion King for example.
3. Sometimes we wear our bra’s for far too long. Even though we’ve got plenty in our closets, there are always two that you tend to always stick to. Much too often. Without washing them.
4. Yes, we’ve all come across that lost tampon. As in: the one you forgot you had in and you’re trying to push in a knew one until you freak out because you still see a little string dangling between your legs. How long it’s been in there? No idea.
5. Staying in line with things we forget: taking birth control pills. I once remember taking three in at the same time and said to my boy, ‘no, don’t worry babe, I’m right on track’.
6. In the category yanking out my lashes: same story when it comes to nail polish. On the one hand it’s annoying as hell when you don’t have remover, and on the other hand it’s trés satisfying to scratch it off.
7. No time to shave your pits = t-shirt with long sleeves. Everyone knows this. Oh and uh, greasy hair = instant ponytail.
8. And yes, you’re guilty of heading straight to bed after a workout without showering because you were tired. Don’t pretend like you’ve never done this.
9. We always pretend like it’s a secret where all our lipstick ends up. But we don’t know is that we don’t only leave a trace of it on our glasses, but we literally eat it too. It’s in our food, on our tongue, our teeth, only to then say it’s a ‘mystery’ where it all goes. Uh huh…
10. Every woman has a secret stash. Whether it’s regarding makeup, cookies, ugly underwear. Yep, we all have secret collections of a ton of random things.
11. We want nothing to do with this entire list. We deny everything. Dirty bras? Nope, not us. But secretly we’re agreeing with everything that’s written above. I see you nodding.
