Today I realized one of the hardest tasks womanhood has to face
Applying Red Lipstick Perfectly
OMFG I was trying on the two new lipsticks I bought for Halloween and decided to try out the red. Since it's such a dark colour, any mistake is really noticable and it's SOOOOOOO hard to get off! I was rubbing my mouth with every product I could find until my whole mouth area was raw! How does Gwen Stefani do it?
What are the other hard things about being a girl in your opinion?

From the sound of it Tillie...sure am glad I don't have to put that on my lips! :p

I wouldn't know about that either, but I imagine it can't be easy to put up with guys like me! :dunno: Always sticking my nose in threads it doesn't belong :p and bugging you to make avatars ;) ....how do you put up with me? ;) lol!

I think the hardest thing about being a girl is staying true to yourself no matter what people around you expect you to be. :)
At the risk of starting a gender war.....men have it harder. :funny:
I can't imagine for one moment anything like lipstick is worse than having to shave everyday for example.

Oh yeah, and women don't have to shave every day. Our legs are just naturally hairless!
Well yes, you have to shave too I know that, but not your faces everyday.....not fun at all.

I'd rather shave my face everyday than my legs or armpits.

Way less hair Randy, you're right. And BTW, it's soooo easy to start a gender war with me, lol!
Good point. How do you shave armpits? Glad I don't have to do that. Or waxing...

I second that.

ummm....with a razor. Guys! :rolleyes:
ummm....with a razor. Guys! :rolleyes:
Yes but.....kind of tricky, its soooo bad when you cut yourself so armpits have to be even trickier.
I still remember the day and unique day I had to wear a lipstick just because of a theater "obra":p but it never repeated anytime:funny:
I'm happy the way I'm.. very natural:p

I would say girl's monthly cycle is the hardest part:D

Ummm...that's like the dumbest question I've ever heard
And yes I agree the "monthly cycle" isn't a treat.

Agreed on both parts Tillie. I'd have to say trying to understand the way a guy's mind works isn't too easy either.
Why is it a dumb question? :huh:
Think of the shape, it must be hard to do it without mutilating yourself. Seems a fairly reasonable question to me!
Anyway men's minds are easy to understand because we don't change. Women on the other hand don't know themselves what they are thinking so how men are supposed to understand female minds is beyond me.
For example, men know what they want when they go shopping, they go there, buy it, and leave. Women spend all day and come back with pretty much everything except what they went there for. If they even knew what they were getting in the first place. Am I right or am I right?!!! :funny:

Just more proof that women are smarter than men and stronger too. And that when we do cut ourselves shaving (which is not very often) we don't run crying to our mommies.
Still like you Paul, just making a point, lol! :)
Ahhh well you have to ask, who is the smarter? Women who say they are smarter, or the men who let women say it and say nothing.....:p
As for stronger, well I never had a problem lifting up a razor! And when I cut myself, not very often either I usually make that weird "ssstttthhh" noise, swear and try to stop the bleeding. It's usually when I'm rushing, I get casual.....
Anyway we do it all for you. It's done out of love. ;)

Men just aren't smart enough to say that they are smarter. If a man said that he was smarter than a woman, then it wouldn't be too hard for a woman to prove him wrong.
As for stronger, I mean emotionally and physically. Women are stronger in both ways.
You seriously think we shave our legs and armpits for guys?! :eek: That's another difference between men and women. You do it for us. We do it for us too. Like a joke I heard a while back.
A man says to his girlfriend, "Why do you women always try to impress us with your looks, instead of with your brains?" to which the woman replied, "Because there's a better chance that a man's going to be a moron than blind."
Sorry to have to say, it's true.
Alright, I'm going to go take a shower, but I promise I'll be back in a few minutes to reply to whatever you have to say next. :)
Well, we let women have their say, we hear it, accept it, say nothing, and know without feeling the need to say anything! Because we're smart, no point arguing with a woman, that's not smart. Which means by saying nothing we're the smart ones. Unlike now, but I'm only saying that to make a point, normally I'm quiet. :p
For example...I'm on a course of 180 people. There are only 13 males and the rest are female, so you learn to know what to say and when. On the first day we did a get to know each other activity (run by a female tutor). It was one of those scenarios where you are on a raft and have to discuss which items to keep and which to throw overboard. I let the girls in the group have their say, I listened to them before adding my opinion (which turned out to be the right one). Then the tutor (female) said "I bet the males in the group were the loud ones who tried to organise everything and dominated the group". Wrong! It frightens me to see what happens sometimes....

You're right, there is no point arguing with a woman. This thread shows that. You, quiet? I doubt it, and that's what I like about you! :)
I might be wrong, but the guys would try to dominate if the women would let you. But they won't, so there's really no point going into that. ;)
Hey, I'm not against men, just look at my avatar and it'll prove that. :)
Thanks I think!
Well no point in looking at my avatar. Women - can't live with or without them!

Men do not have it harder than women...women give birth! Beat that! :p

What is not hard about being a woman. Being a woman is a full time job
"monthly cycle" is something we have to deal with every month
"Eve, you wicked woman you've done put your curse on me. Why couldn't you just leave that apple hanging in the tree" - Dolly Parton
On hot summer days men can walk around toples. Women cannot. If we do, we are accused of indecent exposiour
Wearing a skirt is one thing that sometimes annoy me about womanhood. But it is not hard.
Waking up every morning having to decide what to wear.
Being looked at by creepy men in the streets.
But the hardest thing of all, that a woman has to do, is to figure out what goes on in a man's head.

Great points Ulla...and Jenn - yeah, giving birth, surviving 9 months of sickness and gaining weight, or getting a giant c shaped scar....JUST TO BRING MORE MEN INTO THE WORLD. You owe us guys.
Men do not have it harder than women...women give birth! Beat that! :p
Can't top that.

damn straight :]

Listening for our whole lifetimes to women talking about giving birth! At least its over for you in a few hours...
OK now I'm being naughty, I'm glad we don't have to do that. I had kidney stones once and apparantly that's the same sensation as giving birth. I wanted someone to hit me over the head with a brick, it was sooooo painful.
Blue_Firefly
10-30-2006, 5:56pm
Yeah but Paul, it aint all over in "a few hours" :uhh:
Okay, sure the pain of giving birth is all over, but then we have to cope with the fact we have the afterbirth "pooch" out front and seems how most women are very self-conscious about their weight, this is a big issue! We have to try and work off that pooch! Also, just being a new mother is very stressful and emotional. Men handle stress better than women in most situations.
I also heared that breastfeeding can be painful. So there ya go - it aint all over in "a few hours"
I have also heared that kidney stones are as bad as childbirth :weird:
I meant the birth, I thought that's what you meant specifically. I don't envy that at all, but it's all worth it because babies grow into wonderful human beings like *insert my name here* :p

It is a little unfair I think that a man can be done in less than an hour. while the woman has about a whole years in this new baby business.

Nah, I meant the whole process...carrying baby around for 9 months and everything afterwards :p And yeah, babies do grow into wonderful human beings like Shania Twain :D

Well these days things are different of course, years ago usually only the men went out to work to provide the home and support for the mother and children, whilst the women brought up the children. Now women work more so it is harder to be a mother and work. And men are expected to do more motherly duties too...it can be just as hard being a father, especially if the family depends on you for support, I'm sure if you ask any of the members here who are Dad's they'll tell you it wasn't easy, it's not an hours work and thats it for men, not if they are responsible fathers.

I totally agree on this, Ulla... cause I have kinda living example at my work...

As men and women - we're just wired differently - this discussion isn't going to change that fact.
Gotta love the female gender though: it's a curious mystery for men to explore for a lifetime... each day you find out more, and it's the same feeling vice versa - funny how that works for the mutual benefit, right..? ;)

What about the ones who are responsible for other people kids, like me for instance. I raise my neice which is pretty responsible if you ask me. By the way thanks for mentioning dad, finally some kudos for the other half of the equation.

hmm... maybe we should give Sean the Forums' "Mother of the Month" prize..? :p
No really. Children are the most valuable asset a society holds. And it's the responsibility of us all to look after their well-being.
Good Luck, Sean. It's an important task you've got there.

John - :)Yeah! Sounds good to me cause I'm one mean mother f........ guy type person. :p
The only thing I really care about is her not ending up like my sister. Thats a scarey thought, and it doesn't sit well with me. You are right though because they are the future, and more importantly they'll be running things when we're old. You don't want that coming back at you in Karma form. :p
Thank you sir, but I do what I can. Its nothing special really, I just do what I do.

Exactly, we have to work again to lose the weight and also we have to breastfeed! And back pains continue for months after birth.
At least its over for you in a few hours...
My sister was in labour for 36 hours.
And the stupid male nurse refused to believe it so he wouldn't even give her anything for it orlet her stay in the hospital.

Well I always thought it was extremely difficult to understand women. :funny: Guys are simple... no complications there. :p
Giving birth I'm sure has to take the prize. Men have their role in that and women have theirs which is how God made us. That's just the way it is. Also I think women are pretty good about feeling certain pains and men can run like wussies. :D
