That list was the biggest bait on the PLANET and it deserves the other cheek turned.
It's fabulous to be a woman, and here's why:
~ You get to choose your last name (you aren't just stuck with it)
~ Because the garage isn't yours, you don't have to clean it (and most maids won't do that...lol)
~ You get one week out of every month where you can go nuts and not have to provide a reason <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
~ You get to do/spend pretty much whatever you want on a wedding (because otherwise those plans aren't taking care of themselves...=) )
~ You can be president (ok, maybe it's of the PTA, but that is Sooo much easier... and you don't have to put up with Congress..lol)
~ Chocolate is not just a snack... it's a
reward, which we all know tastes better anyway, which leads me to my next point of
~ We don't take the little things for granted.
~ If you wear a white T-shirt to a water park, chances are you'll get in free <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
~ You have a shot of getting Car mechanics change your oil for free... or a friendly neighbor
~ Your new haircut is different enough that people can actually TELL that you got a new haircut without guessing.
~ You usually smell better.
~ You often don't have to pump your own gas.
~ Same work... more time off.
~ Noobody questions your work ethic if you decide not to work and stay home with the kids.
~ You live longer.
~ Wedding dress $5000, but you get all the compliments.
~ You get to make fun of the idiots who stare at your chest while you're talking to them... and then file that away for future use... jk
~ You have an inherent better sense of direction.
~ People are amazed when they realize you CAN belch; and men secretly respect you for it. LOL
~ Those mangled feet are actually a good excuse to go SHOPPING!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
~ People KNOW when you're mad.
~ You are always in style, because you help set them.
~ You get to get away with five suitcases on vacation, enabling you to not have to decide on what to bring. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
~ You can get someone else to open your jars so you don't have to. Manual labor is soo petty!
~ You get pampered for hours at the salon... not butchered, blow-dried and kicked out. Remember, being robbed is only a matter of opinon.
~ Because you don't leave the motel bed unmade, people think you're thoughtful... and the maid doesn't leave dirty sheets on your mattress or short sheet your bed.
~ Again, you don't HAVE to kill your own food.
~ It's expected for you to change your mind every thirty minutes and, therefore, is ok.
~ If someone forgets to invite you to something, you have the perfect excuse to get rid of someone you probably didn't want to hang around anyway.
~ You can get away with spending 20 dollars on one pair of underwear... and if it's satiny or see through, you'll even get your H's blessing!
~ When you model aforementioned see-through underwear, H will forget about the other three hundred dollars worth of stuff you just stuck in the closet.
~ You get 90 percent of the closet space without having to fight for it... it's expected.
~ YOU get the expensive car, because you're toting around the kids.
~ If you're 34 and single, you either KNOW better or you're never having to pay for dinners (either way, you come out a winner!) lol
~ If you're not already naturally gorgeous, you have the ability to become so. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />
~ You get the enjoyment of watching your man eat crow when he gets himself thorougly lost because he didn't ask for directions like YOU told him to. (Ok, that might be an LB...hehe)
~ Noone expects you to keep just three pairs of shoes, and so you have yet another excuse to go SHOPPING!!!
~ You don't have racing stripes on your underwear.
~ You get little gifts when friends drop by!
~ People share their desserts with you.
~ You understand the value of a good conversation.
~ You can play dumb with powertools and your guy will come and do the manual labor for you, saving your manicure. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
~ You CAN see wrinkles in your clothes, and therefore, you always look better.
~ You don't have to deal with knicking your FACE on a regular basis... or aftershave. Ouch!
~ You have the ability to have more than one hairstyle without people asking you what era you are trying to recreate.
~ You live longer.
~ Ten purses, ten wallets .... more reasons to shop.
~ You can have someone else do your nails for you, so you don't have to, without looking like a whimp.
~ You can do the aforementioned while some buff, young guy is massaging your stress away and it's considered "normal."
~ You get mace... and the ability to use it without looking like a weakling.
~ Noone expects you to assemble big stuff.
~ People come to you for the warm, fuzzy stuff.
~ You can cry for no good reason without worrying about looking like a dweeb.
~ You inherently know what people want for Christmas and that's why you get cooler gifts.
~ You only have to say you're sorry and give a little smoochie when you make mistakes; they have to give you flowers and take you out to dinner.
~ When you aren't happy, ain't NOOBODY happy... so everybody's trying to keep you happy.
That's not really a bad gig when you think about it.
