We all know that males and females tend to care about different things. Some of the these things may be labeled "stupid" or frivolous by members of the opposite sex. I will be the first to admit that I care about some of the things in this list and I am o.k. with it. No apologies, women of the world!
Take all of this with a grain of salt and try not to get offended, because in the end we all care about at least one "stupid" thing :)
Stupid Things [Some] Women Care About:
What We Wear
Fashion and the Kardashians have ruined our lives. We spend hours planning outfits and shopping for accessories when half the time they sit in our closets unworn with the tags still on them. We also have too many pairs of shoes, accessories and beauty products. I am not alone in saying that I've ruminated a little too long on what's hanging in my closet and what I'm going to wear to a certain event. Sometimes I think life would be better if we all just walked around naked. Plus, when it comes to guys all you really need to do is wear spiked heels and a tight dress - lose the patterned tights, wedges, and the ornate earrings you bought at urban outfitters for $50 dollars because they don't give a damn about them!
What Our Boyfriends Ex Looks Like
We may be dating a guy for a year and know that he's over his ex but we still want to find out what she looks like. We'll find her on facebook and create a fake account so we can add her and pretend to be interested in her (maybe we'll pretend we want to be Farmville friends) and then we'll snoop her page as much as possible. We'll compare her body size, hair and style to ours, even when she isn't really our competition. The more we find out, the more it will drive us crazy but we do it anyway. Has anyone heard that quote, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results?" That quote was written for us.
Nail Polish Color
There is an entire industry that is making bank off of our obsession with changing our nail color every week and matching it with our outfits. This is also something I'm pretty sure guys don't understand or care about. As long as your nails are clean and your hands don't have the texture of a scaly reptile, you're pretty much set. However, it doesn't matter to us! We will contue purchasing nail polish to represent every color of the rainbow until the day we die!
Celebrities
WHY DO WE CARE ABOUT THESE PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW WHO WE ARE?! I don't know, but we do because US Weekly magazine is still in business along with the entire E! network. I loathe the Kardashian family, yet the newest installment of their reality show is set to record in my DVR. Why do I care what Natalie Portman wore to the Oscars last year or that Justin Bieber had a childhood without Santa? I don't know, I just do. So shutup and leave me alone with my remote.
Being "Facebook Official"
This is definitely something females tend to care about more than men. It may be because we put more emphasis on the status of our romantic relationships than men do. It may also be because we get really tired of looking at "single" on our profile, while men probably enjoy it. Maybe we just like how it feels to change our status from In a Relationship to Single to Widowed to Married to It's Complicated so everyone can comment and feel bad for us. OR...it's possible we are tired of getting messages from sleazy guys or men from our past so we hope they will leave us alone once they see our new FB status (i.e. "Ey girl, you be lookin' sweet n scrumptious, I be pokin' you on da FB but you be ignorin me, wassup wit dat babydoll?"). Maybe I'll invent a new relationship status that says, "None of your biznazz, I'm married to myself."
Getting Attention From Men
How do females do this? Let me count the ways. Number 1 on the list: passive aggressive facebook posts in the form of statuses, depressing songs about heartbreak and "liking" FB pages such as, "I love douche bags." Other actions that made the list are slutty dresses, spray tans and wearing makeup at the gym. Why don't we wear or do something for OURSELVES instead of always trying to attract men? Who likes a woman who is so spray tanned she looks like an oompa loompa? Girl, you know you didn't get that in the real sun and it ain't part of your natural genetics!
Being Single Forever
We've all said it and posted it and cried it as we sit with our head in the toilet after too many Mai Tai's. "I'm going to be single forever, there are no men out there." Get it together! It's not true! In my opinion, as long as you think of singleness as a curse that you are destined to hold for the rest of your life, you WILL be single forever.
Looking Perfect During "Intimate Time"
Okay by intimate time I mean sex. During the deed, guys really aren't thinking about whether that certain position makes you look like you have a double chin. They also aren't worried about the several stretch marks you attained on the side of your thigh or whether your make up is smeared. Are you enjoying yourself? Yes? Then they are happy because they are enjoying it too. So let go and enjoy the (ahem) ride, because no one cares what you look like. Believe me, once you stop thinking about what you look like you will definitely enjoy the journey AND the destination. :)
Twilight
Need I say more? And yes, I did see Breaking Dawn Pt 1 on opening day.
Men To Want Us Or Something When We Don't Necessarily Want It Ourselves
You see, we have this thing....where sometimes we get offended when a guy isn't interested in us even if we weren't interested in him. So we think he's ugly but he blows us off, but we are still offended and want him to want us even if we don't want him. Get it? In relationships sometimes we don't necessarily want something but then we find out our significant other also doesn't want it and then all of a sudden we want him to want it, EVEN IF WE DON'T REALLY WANT IT. It makes absolutely NO sense. It may even apply to exes! Our ex moved on and we don't want him but we are still sad that he moved on and make fun of the girl he's with - but we don't want him, so why can't we be happy for him? Again, I don't know. We are mysteries to ourselves.
