What do girls talk about in the bathroom?

I wish I can present a good list of topics (things that guys will find useful, that is) that women talk about while congregating in the bathroom/powder room/toilet. But I can’t help but wonder, what’s the big deal anyway? I don’t understand why they find it “annoying”, “amusing” or “weird” that women do travel in packs when heading to the said destination.
Well, okay. Let me give it a go and list some of the things they talk about: Makeup and girly stuff while freshening up, recent shopping haulage, latest gossip (either showbiz or family or friends, whatever they’re most interested …read more
On Girl Talks & Guy Bashings
April 26, 2007 by Sasha Manuel
Filed under Relationships
I’m quite certain that most, if not all, women have engaged in conversations that are filled with “girl talks” and “guy bashings” — somehow, it can be said that it’s quite a normal occurrence. Guy bashings occur when, of course, there’s bad blood between exes. Girls vent out their frustration to their friends and basically diss the guy, hence, the name. It’s probably developed during pre-teens and was nurtured all throughout the female adolescent life. Though, the question is, do women grow out of them?
In my personal opinion, some do and some don’t. It only varies in intensity and frequency. …read more
Is it love when you can’t say goodbye?

Filed under Relationships
I was chatting with a friend earlier this afternoon when we broached the subject of conversations with men of note (special someones) and ending it, in particular. She said something that alarmed created an impression on me and wish to discuss it further. It was something along the lines of, “it must be love when you’ve been saying goodbye for the last 30 minutes.” Ack. Love?!? REALLY? Gawd.
There may be dozens of reasons as to why a conversation continues even when someone wishes to end it. Among them may be,
An idea, question, or memory suddenly surfaces.

The New Year’s Eve Kiss

Filed under Relationships
Is it a little like the kiss under the mistletoe? I’m not certain.
Hmmm.
I’ve heard it said that it’s best to go to that New Year’s Eve party with someone you’d want to kiss when the clock strikes twelve because word has it that he might just be “the one”. Does anybody know who started this tradition? In my country, it being a conservative one at that, we really don’t practice the kissing on the lips part when we welcome the new year. It’s unacceptable to kiss someone outside matrimony. But, of course, things are a bit lighter now. Some …read more
Are women master manipulators in relationships?

So, tell me —
Are women master manipulators in relationships?
Curious thought, I must say.
I was talking to a co-worker of mine about this quote I shared when she told me that it’s true. She does believe that women, by nature, have the ability to manipulate a situation to turn in their favour. I have to admit, to hear a married woman say that, surprised me. Then I’m caused to ponder on the thought some more and I realised that I, too, was guilty of being a “manipulator” at some point in my past relationship — the bitchy kind at that. …read more
Maharishi Fattifatbastard’s Guide to Zen, er, dating..?

“There are two theories about how to win an argument with a woman. Neither one works.”
I lifted this quote from ma friend Rico over at Fool for Five.
Isn’t it quite apparent that I’m trying to start a gender war here? LOL. Nah. I’m just playing. I just found the quote or, uh, zen teaching(?) equally funny as the last quote I shared to you guys.
Read more of Fattifatbastard’s guide, I suggest you brace yourself for more laughs. Enjoy!

For all you cynics out there, here’s one quote you’ll appreciate me thinks. Teehee.
“Marriage is give and take. You’d better give it to her or she’ll take it anyway.” — Joey Adams
Aw, shucks.
How did the women turn out with a reputation like this?
I hope this made your day a little more brighter.

In the Spotlight: The Guy Friend

If a man finds you attractive, you cannot be friends.
Thoughts? Opinions?
Uh, violent reactions perhaps?
I’m one of them who thinks that it is possible to be just friends with a guy. But I have to admit that if we are to bring “attraction” into the equation, it can definitely complicate the friendship. Hands down. Especially when everything’s one-sided. Ugh. Train-wreck.
Here’s the argument.
I actually went ahead and did what the he said I should do to “ease my doubts” about this theory. I asked the questions and I got an almost-verbatim set of responses.
Tips On How To Troubleshoot Your Girl

WORD OF CAUTION: This post [or the links contained in this post, that is] is not suitable for the, uh, faint of heart. Reader discretion advised.
I, now, have a new blog-addiction. Reading the utter craziness written by this Noisy, Noisy Man! Hahaha. I really had to laugh out loud! He’s friggin’ funny! Mind-numbingly C-R-A-Z-Y! [All meant in a good way, ok?!]
Since I did a feature for the women on how to care for their new boyfriends, I thought I’d extend the same courtesy to men who have — uh, not necessarily new — girlfriends.
Of course, in my readings, I stumbled …read more
On Giving Up Your Weekend

“If she hasn’t given you her weekend, then don’t even say you guys are dating.”
I lifted this thought from a friend’s post, which was quickly followed by a number of people commenting that they agree with it.
Hmmm.
I guess, it’s time for my *opinionated* self to dissect the said thought. Hehehe.
The essence of the statement is as real as the sky is blue. Well, from where you’re standing, looking up, you’d see that it is blue but if you try to bottle up the sky, it’s not really blue, right?
Alright. Alright. I know you may be thinking — what does …read more
