The funny, blunt Dee of Black in the Baystate had a recent post that answered "10 Questions I've Always Wanted to Ask Women" as posed by TD Hurst and I thought I'd give the questionnaire a go and see how YOU ladies would answer as well :D
1. Why are you always cold?
My girl sleeps in pants and a shirt, smothers herself in the covers, likes the thermostat at 80 and showers in water that would scald me. WHY?! Seeing as how women are more likely to have higher body fat percentages, shouldn’t they be equipped not to be cold? And this isn’t just a skinny woman problem. So, what’s up? Do you ever get hot? Why am I sweating while clad only in boxers while you radiate heat while you sleep yet never complain about being too hot?
We're just cool like that ;) You WOULD think that with our higher body fat content that we'd be toasty all of the time, but across the board I find that women are colder than men too so just toss it up as a wonder of nature. My brother and his friends will traipse around with no coats on in the dead of winter (I live in CHICAGO mind you, lord knows our winters are deadly) and be just fine whereas I practically need a fur coat at the first whisper of a breeze for fall. Connundrum *wraps snuggie tighter*
2. Why would you wear high heels unless you absolutely had to?
I get what high heels do. I accept that they make women’s legs look great in dresses and skirts. What I don’t get is why you’d ever wear heels unless you were specifically dressing up. Heels with jeans? Shorts? Does it REALLY look that good? You know that’s not comfortable, and I guarantee most guys don’t care 99% of the time, so what’s up?
I don't know about that guarantee there, buddy. Most guys like a girl in heels and most girls want to be liked by guys so......there ya go. Men's magazines have girls in heels with a cops uniform on, bathing suit, naked, whatever, HEELS are the order of the day. Women like appealing to men, men like women to totter around in sexy heels. Same reason that Chinese women used to bind their feet, surely that wasn't for THEIR pleasure! LOL. They wanted to have the tiny feet and little toddle walk that the men liked.
Not to mention, most designers put their REAL oomph into their heel collection. Heels come in way more varieties than flats, especially on the sexy side of things. A tight, body hugging sexy freakum vavavoom dress just doesn't look the same without heels, trust me, I've tried.
you KNOW she's uncomfortable...but SEXY
3. Why the faces? Why cock your head?
The duck face and the head lean are rampant. I see it everywhere. Ladies, some of you I have no issue with, but as for the rest of you…what is up with the faces you make in the camera? Why do you always lean your head to a side?
Lol, when ya'll figure out how to smile in a photo or what to do with your hands, then I'll hold a "no zoolander faces" class. Men take terrible pictures, I just don't get it. I see way more of you guys either looking like serial killers who can't crack a smile or the Gotti boys in pics than I see girls doing crazy poses. Step awaaaay from myspace ;)
4. Why can’t you cook?
Back in the day the women cooked and the man worked. As we’ve moved out of the dark ages, men have learned to cook, take care of the kids and other domestic duties previously handled by women. Women have assimilated themselves into the job force, attend college in higher numbers than guys and are, for the most part, treated equally in nearly every way. Yet there are more women now that can’t cook than I’ve ever seen. Dudes can cook now, but ladies, why can’t you? Is this your way of getting back at society? (note that sharing is the best way to handle any domestic duty. I do not believe any one person should be responsible for the same chore every single time. Well, except breastfeeding.)
My friends and I can cook, but I guess it's a stereotype that black women can throw down anyway :P
5. Why don’t you wear ponytails all the time?
Many dudes – okay, Hispanic/Latino and White guys – long to grow out their hair long enough to put it in a ponytail. It looks kinda tough, a bit worldly and you can have product discussions with the ladies. But women seem to do anything they can from putting their hair in a ponytail, but here’s a not-so-secret secret: dudes love ponytails. It shows the lady is low-maintenance and fun. High ponytails are also distinctly feminine. We love it. Why do so many women fight it so?
Dudes love ponytails? Really? So why aren't men's magazines filled with girls in tied back hair? The women who are all marketed to men have sexy Victoria's Angel hair, not pulled back neat ponytails. Goes back to the heels thing, girls like men liking them, so they do what catches the men. Notice how in makeovers on shows, they always have the geeky girl with glasses and a ponytail as the BEFORE and then a girl with long bouncy hair that's out and down with NO glasses as the AFTER? There's gotta be a reason for that.
LOL these were the first two images that pop up when I put in makeovers, exactly what I said:
6. What’s the deal with words on your asses?
I’m sure those ultra-short workout shorts are comfy, but do you really need something across the ass? This looked weird when you did it in college and it looks ridiculous now. No man wants any part of that and I bet all the other girls hate you.
It brings attention to the round bootay that I'm carrying around. The men calling out "Heeeey miss BCBG" seemed to love those jogging pants that I had with the words so subtly applied across my derrière back in my words across the booty phase. I can see why you don't like them on flat asses though, that looks TERRIBLE....baggy with a bunch of air and wrinkles only? Can't even read the words because they are fading into her non-existant bum? no sir, i'd rebuke that in the name of satan too!
*facepalm* so flat, so UNsexy
7. Why the sexual double standard?
Girl sleeps with a few dudes, she’s a slut. Girl says something bad about you, you call her a slut, which must mean that sleeping with a few dudes is bad. Why? You don’t care when us guys do it – unless we’re hitting some serious triple digits – so why do you care that someone of your gender does it? Are you jealous? Are you ashamed?
We're catty bitches and know that it'd hurt to hear that. Tell a guy that, he won't care. Tell a girl that? Even sluts who know they are sluts don't want to hear it. I called a friend a groupie and even though she'd had sex with at least half of the football team, she was mortified. Go figure lol. We didn't create the double standard, but we love to use it to cut someone down to size. And yeah, I do care when ya'll have a huge number of sexual partners, but I seem to be a bit more discerning than women these days.
8. Why do you hate each other, yet pretend not to?
The amount of women who I’ve heard say they hate someone and then immediately turn around and talk to them is ridiculous. Not that they’re liars, although they are lying a bit, or that they’re two-faced, because I don’t think they’re meaning to be mean, but it’s weird. Seems to happen to more girls than guys, ‘though dudes do it too. We do it because we’re intimidated OR to show power. Yep, either one and no, I can’t tell you how to spot either.
The whole frenemies thing is a weird phenomenon. I can't be bothered with people that I don't like, so I don't get that either. Sowwy
9. What kind of underwear is actually most comfortable for you?
I know you can get used to thongs or no one would wear them, but they can’t be comfortable to wear. Couple that with women wearing low-cut jeans often showing off their butt crack and I get why thongs aren’t standard. But what are? What cuts do you like? What do lace and other fancy fabrics feel like? Are granny panties comfy?
When they need to be worn, random cotton boyshorts by Victoria's Secret are uber comfy :D
10. Why haven’t you taken over the world yet?
We all hear that women are better in groups, better at handling children, better at learning and better at nearly everything that doesn’t require physical strength (even then there are exceptions), so why are you not in charge of everything yet? You are the heads of households, no matter how much money you make. You control the budgeting. You raise the kids. What’s stopping you?
Self doubt after centuries of being told that we are less than.....and the fact that we are catty bitches to each other :P
Readers, how would you answer the questions?
