40 Reasons It’s Good To Be A Woman (stolen, of course). I don’t agree with all of these. I have definitely been in love with a cartoon character. What about you?
1. When a ship sinks, women (and children) get off first.
2. A woman can hug her best friend without worrying she’ll think she’s gay.
3. Women can talk to attractive members of the opposite sex without having to picture them naked.
4. A woman can never be blamed if it’s wet on the floor around the toilet bowl.
5. If a woman cheats on her spouse everyone will assume it’s because she was being emotionally neglected.
6. Women are capable of doing at least two different things to a passable standard at the same time.
7. Women live longer than men.
8. Women know how to cover up spots and other facial blemishes.
9. If a woman inexplicably disappears for two weeks, one of her friends will notice.
10. Women mature earlier than men (some men never mature at all).
11. There are times when chocolate is really the answer to all woman’s problems.
12. Women don’t feel uncomfortable with gay waiters or hairdressers.
13. A woman can fully assess a person just by looking at their shoes.
14. Women know the truth about whether size matters…
15. A woman can take a drive without trying to beat her best time.
16. If a woman forgets to shave, no-one has to know.
17. Women are capable of going longer than five minutes without thinking about either sex or football.
18. Women never lust after a cartoon character or the central figure in a computer game.
19. Women can be groupies. Male groupies are stalkers.
20. Women can cry and get off a speeding ticket.
21. A woman can get a whole new lease on life just by changing her lipstick.
22. A woman can congratulate her team-mate without ever touching her rear.
23. Women don’t have to worry about catching anything important in their zipper.
24. If a woman says something stupid, most men will just think she’s cute.
25. Women can admit to others when they’ve made a mistake.
26. If a woman cries, she’s sensitive; if a man cries, he’s a wimp.
27. Women know who their children are without having a DNA test.
28. It’s cool to be a daddy’s girl. It’s sad to be a mummy’s boy.
29. Women can wear platforms – which is why there is no such thing as a short woman’s complex.
30. Women can watch one TV channel at a time without getting bored.
31. Women have total control over their eyebrows.
32. Women can get drunk quicker and cheaper than men.
33. A woman’s friend won’t try to persuade her to get a tattoo while she’s drunk.
34. A woman won’t drive to Hell and back before she asks for directions.
35. Women aren’t covered with hair like shag carpeting.
36. Woman don’t feel threatened if their partner earns more than they do.
37. For women, a new season means a whole new wardrobe.
38. Women know exactly what buttons to push to get exactly what they want.
39. Women don’t think reading the manual is a betrayal of all their species stands for.
40. Women can keep potted plants alive for more than a week.

But we can if we want to, right?

I can’t keep a potted plant alive to save my life. And I don’t have a penis …

I have to agree–potted plants are risky business at my house. I either forget to water it entirely, or I drown it.

Tori says:
I have a black thumb when it comes to potted plants. So, no, not all these apply to me either.
And, yes, I have lusted after a cartoon character. 🙂

And this sure doesn’t apply to me!

15. A woman can take a drive without trying to beat her best time.
Nope, I have to beat my best time. I’m still trying to shave off the last 5 minutes from where I live in Md to my mom’s house in Pittsburgh (and actually she lives 30 mins further away than she used to so I’ve already cut off 25)!

Eve says:
Potted plants – used to, no more patience.
TV channel – um, I’m a surfer.
Cartoon character – Johnny Quest?
Women can talk to attractive members … – :rotfl: not in my world.
Football? – not during football season.

#40 . . . I look at them and they die!

Hmm. I wonder who made up this list. Some are way off, others are really chauvinistic. I’d say a lot don’t apply to me or it depends on the circumstances.
My plants died but that was because:
1. my sister-in-law took some home.
2. my niece blocked the access to my plants with oodles of boxes I couldn’t climb over.
I hate shopping for clothes, shoes and almost everything else except books. I always found things I liked when my mother wanted something herself. My feet are odd, i.e., narrow heel, long and I can’t find comfortable shoes, certainly none with more than, at best, a 1.5″ heel. Most of my clothing dates back 10-30 years. Comfort is all. My mother was the fashion queen. I’m the plain brown mouse and have to have the colors that suit that. Although, that’s not to say that I don’t have clothes that get compliments and that I feel great in. My colors (some of them) happen to be popular this year but not usually and that’s the main reason my clothes are old.:grin:
The other points I’ll leave alone.

Oh, yeah, oddly enough I seldom get what I want. Oh where are my womanly wiles:???:
And I still can’t hide my blemishes completely. I admit I’ve given up.:loser:

I like being off the ship first. Too bad they don’t use that on cruises, too. :bananadance:

OMG!! I have done number 20!! I had just given birth and it was DH driving but the police officer didn’t know what to do when I started blubbing and DH was actually proud of me! Bless him.

Cheryl S. says:
Nope, plants don’t live around me either. And shopping for clothes – hate it! The same size at two different stores are NOT the same size. :hissyfit:
Maybe half of the other ones apply though.

I’d better not show number 40 to my husband…he may laugh so hard that he may give himself a hernia

Lynn Daniels says:
I definitely don’t agree with all of them. I had friends try to convince me to get a tattoo when I was drunk. They lost. 😆
And it takes more than new lipstick to give me a new lease on life. There at least has to be some eyeshadow in there, too. :rotfl:

Mik says:
It seems unanimous – we all kill plants. I’m guilty as well.
I used to have a crush on He-Man. And who hasn’t lusted after a particularly dashing Disney animated hero? (I’m think of the Beast when he turns into a man… oh my he’s hot.)
Yes. I am one sick individual. :wigglebrow:

I have never, ever, EVER gotten out of a traffic ticket! :no:
So–what?? Did I miss girlie-school that day or something??
Couldn’t have anything to do with me being too busy calling the officer a blind butt s.o.b… :yes:

Cute, Suzanne. Thanks for sharing. I haven’t cried my way out of a ticket, but I did schmooze my way out of one. 🙂
