14 Things We Love, But Men Hate

1. Bathroom crap: Loofahs, potpourri and peppermint foot scrub exfoliant spiked with Shea butter are among the products we 'women' like to stick in our bathrooms to the detriment of the world's water supply. Give men a toothbrush and some soap and they're good!

2. Shopping: Being dragged along on one of our shopping sprees is guaranteed to drive any sane man mad! Please girls don't ask a guy whether or not this dress or bikini makes our ass look like oatmeal or FAT! Well I did take a guy once shopping and tried on a few dresses he chose the most conservative one that made me loook pregnant : s and told me to ditch the sexy one...Well guess what I got the sexy of course the next day...why? coz I didn't want to hurt his feelings I WANT THE SEXY ONE! Don't drag yer guy into this unless he's a fashion freak!

3. Talking: Women are constantly prodding men for affirmation. Because most guys are comparatively aloof, holding little gab sessions allows women to ascertain "where things are going." This might not be so bad if it weren't for the fact that women pick the most inopportune moments to pry open your mental safe (i.e. directly following sex and/or during something obscure and interesting on the History Channel).

4. Crying: Guys prefer not to cry, the exception being a broken bone or downed satellite dish. But we know something they don't know; crying makes you feel better. So good , in fact, most of us do it all the time. Like strung-out addicts, we need that feel-good fix and will cry three, four, five times a day just to get it. And dare I mention the ability of tears to guilt men into jumping through hoops of fire...Crocidile tears!

5. Cosmo quizzes: Ever pick up a copy of a Cosmopolitan ? Doing its quizzes about oral sex and menstruation, or some other sordid topic like "Is he the one?", is, mystifyingly, a guilty pleasure for many women including me! I hate to admit they're kind of fun but I never really believed in them!

6. Shoes: We place so much stock in footwear, but with so much else to look at, do you think all men notice our shoes? (unless they have a foot fetish thingy going on). The only time a guy would notice our Manolo Blahniks is when they're at the foot of their bed. Sneakers and dress shoes have always done them right, so why do we complicate things for them? WE love showing off infront of other women, maybe?

7. Fad workouts: Before pilates there was Tae Bo and before Tae Bo there was yoga. We hop from fad workout to fad workout like J.Lo hops to and from husbands. Here's to hoping your woman is more loyal to you than she is to the ever-changing world of "hot today; not tomorrow" exercise regimens.

8. Gay guys: prominent gay characters are popping up and garnering impressive female followings on popular sitcoms like Will & Grace, SATC... I guess it's coz we are fascinated by something different and besides they're FUN and adorable don'tcha think? Plus they're more loyal in friendships js like lil puppies!

9. Flowers and chocolate: Men want big-ticket items like flat screen televisions; chicks just want the immediacy and confirmation of your love. And for some reason, nobody has had any luck figuring it out... nothing says loving like candy bars and dying vegetation.

10. Enrique Iglesias & Justin Timberlake: Deep in the heart of every woman lies a dormant teenybopper singing in a gay voice. All it takes is a pretty boy with pipes to rouse it. Hitting the high notes and bouncing along to choreographed dance numbers are typically not the talents men esteem in other men, which explains the disproportionate number of females who comprise Enrique and JT's fan base. I used to have a HUGE crush on Nick Carter the guy from Backstreet boys from the age of 11-14 then switched to Howard from the same gang then to Enrique and recently I' m into Justin Timerlake he's gettin hotter everyday!

11. Spiritual stuff: There comes a time in every woman's life when they begin to search for deeper meaning. This usually prompts us to delve into things like astrology or feng shui or tarot cards. I'm into reading palms and coffee cups now. Turns out I've only been in love twice :s and that I' m going to have a boy and a girl : D

12. Soap operas: Better judgment precludes men from watching such drivel. The truth is they know that the days of our lives are not like sand through the hourglass. I think it's safe to say that no woman you'd want to date watches soap operas, at least not religiously. If the Daytime Emmys is her favorite awards ceremony, you've got yourself a problem. I'm into mexican series now, they remind me of my teenage years, boy I've learned alot of things from them plus they're sooo funnyy!

13. Carrie Bradshaw! I LOVE HER! Sarah Jessica Parker's on-screen character seems to be every urban woman's idol. She's witty, cool and impeccably dressed. She's also a bed-hopping, chain-smoking, self-obsessed megalomaniac. Great role model : p

14. Cosmopolitans: The drink that refuses to go out of style (mostly because millions of women refuse to let it) is really just a fancy way of making a Cape Codder (cranberry and vodka). The only addition is a splash of Triple Sec and lime juice, in case you want to shake her the perfect one yourself. It's worth noting that overpriced coffee-based beverages featuring the word "mochaccino" are the daytime version of the famed "Cosmo." Why aren't we satisfied with a simple concoction -- vodka on the rocks, a cup of coffee? I guess we love complicating things and making things a lil more glammed up. My second ex used to make fun of me when I used to order them, he always used to say that women just want to show off even when we order drinks (such a sexist) and that ordering martinis is more sophisticated and classier.

Cheeerz!

Feel free to add some in! : D
