10 Things about Girls that Guys will NEVER understand.. (so don't even try, 'cause we don't quite get it either!)

1. Shopping

Yah. We all know it. Shopping is an amazing experience to us gals.. And guys will never understand. Women can spend literally, hours on a shopping spree, when the mood strikes. Can we explain the high we get from purchasing a really nice black dress? No. And no, its not like the other 8 black dresses we have already either. This one is made of satin. You know, that shiny material. And because it makes my butt look smaller, I'm buying it in three different colours.

I recently acquainted myself with the high of shopping over the weekend. I just got paid, I went to Orchard and Great World City and managed to find EIGHT pairs of shoes (7 heels and one pair of flats). Then I had a horrible taxi ride home (long story), which would normally leave me upset for a good few hours into the evening. But the moment I picked up those bags from the taxi booth, everything seemed better. I was happy again. I can't explain it, I don't want to either. But it was beatiful. The best part of it of course was the fact that all my shoes did not cost me more than $500. Which brings me on to No. 2.

2. Bargains.
Which woman does not love a good bargain??!! Some of my most cherished items in my closet and around the apartment are things that I have paid what I deem to be below market price for. Long formal dress from Zara: $70.00. I love it more than a special exquisite piece I bought from a boutique for $250. Dining table mats made out of wood: $15 dollars. Red ruffly heart-shaped mat, $5 (IKEA BABY!).

3. Make-up and toiletteries.

I know I already have two types of foundations in my make-up pouch. But this one says it firms the skin as well! And two different types of eye cream is better than one, right? And yes I need three types of facial masks, two types of moisturisers (Day and Night, mah!), and different shades of eyeshadow. Lipstick is another story altogether; as with lipgloss.

4. PMS.

Dont try to blame yourself if we get hung up once a month and decide that we want chocolate icecream more than affection from you. Its nothing personal, really. Our body gets tender, bloated, and we feel awful, just be there for us when we moan in regret after downing the entire pint of Haagen Daz, even though we enjoyed every spoonful. And please, during this period (pun intended), AGREE with everything we say. Just nod and smile. It'll only make life easier.

5. How we can order Diet Coke with our Value Meal and then a large fries and chocolate sundae to go with it.

The Diet Coke cancels out calories, leaving room for us to enjoy the other foods we like. :D This is usually experienced during PMS, read last two lines above.

6. Why we act like princesses sometimes.

That's because we are. And we know you love it, deep deep down inside. Makes you feel all manly, right? Well if it doesn't, console yourself in the fact that this mainly occurrs during PMS, as stated above.

7. How we can sit for 6 hours in a hairdresser's shop.

And come out looking exactly the same, right? WRONG. Its hair treatments, perm, hair colour, highlights, that keeps us looking GOOD. So its not that we come out looking exactly the same; its all this effort that MAINTAINS us looking sexy. Again, we know you love it. Or we think you do, anyway. Regardless, it makes US feel good stepping out of the hairdresser's, even if it was for a 2cm trim. Again, just smile, and nod. <--- which is what all guys should do, whenever we bring back a bargain as well.

8. Going to the bathroom in groups.

Its so that we can talk about you, silly.

9. Why we say 'nothing' when you ask what's wrong; when something obviously is.

Because we don't want to be the one to start the argument, or seem nitpicky. But the bottom line is, you've done something majorly wrong and you need to bring it up with us. Press on, give us cuddles, and ge to the root of the matter. We want to know that you're as concerned about the relationship as we are, and that you would take and make the effort to resolve an issue should there be a one. Most of the time its something silly, like something wrong you said that she took personally, of which a simple laugh-it-off would do. If its something *really* serious, then at least you took the first step towards talking about it. The silence on us girl's part is our way of basically telling you, "OY. You messed up, Dumwit, please take the initiative to make it right!".

10. How we drive you crazy in every sense of the word..and you still cant get enough of us.

Because we're worth it. ;)
