Five things guys just don’t get about girls

Five+things+guys+just+dont+get+about+girls

Men are clueless. We have no idea what goes on around us. Most of the time, we say or do the first thing that comes to mind. So I’ll be the first guy to say it here and now: we are hopeless.

But what most guys especially don’t understand are the things girls do. Sure, we’ve covered a lot of ground like figuring out “I’m fine” doesn’t really mean that you’re fine, or accepting that “I’ll be ready in ten minutes” really means you’ll be ready in an hour. Yet, everyday there’s something new that makes us tilt our heads.

I’m going to put it out there, five things I simply don’t get:

1. Towel hair thingymajig

I’m 19 years old and I still don’t understand girls’ towel hats. What is it even called? I interchange hat with crown, hijab, cap, or basically any name for headwear. I constantly wonder how it manages to stay balanced on girls’ heads. There must be a special knot or hidden rubber band or some other sorcery. Men of the world may never know.

2. Infatuation with boy bands

One Direction, Passion Pit, Jonas Brothers, Backstreet Boys; what’s to scream about? Every obsession is always over another band that can simply harmonize and sing NSNC. I’ll admit I love Katy Perry, but I don’t hang her posters around my dorm. But then again, we men do hold shouting matches over sports.

3. Bathroom trips in twos or more

What’s so special about the bathroom? Is there something in there that isn’t in the men’s’? Every meal, formal or casual, ya’ll flock to the bathroom like birds migrating south. WHY.

4. Periods

Don’t know. Don’t want to know.

5. Putting up with us

We can be nice, we can be assholes, why bother with us? I’m surprised men haven’t driven the entire female population into becoming lesbians. I’ve witnessed girls completely slave over a boy. Sometimes it leads to a happily ever after, but most times it leads to tears. Men around the world should appreciate women’s patience and ability to put up with our s****. We must be incredibly funny and extremely good-looking. Well, whatever it may be I’m lost.

Here’s one to the fairer sex. Sorry, fellas.
