As women, there are some struggles we have that guys will never get, mostly because they include things that they will never experience (some guys don’t even know what a tampon looks like). Here are some things that guys will never understand, even if we were to try to explain.
1. Having to ration your nude underwear to wear under white pants
2. Having to ration your thongs for leggings
3. Maybe never encountering the underwear dilemma because you have 71 pairs
4. Having ridiculous amounts of clothing but absolutely nothing to wear
5. Taking hours to get ready mostly because you’re deciding what to wear
6. But then you get distracted and just lay in your towel for an hour on your phone
Oo, cat video!
7. Feeling the need to place your hand on your boob or in your pants (without even realizing you’re doing it, most of the time)
8. Losing an inordinate amount of money and sanity on bobby pins and hair ties
9. Losing an inordinate amount of money and sanity on pads and tampons
It really isn’t fair, people.
10. We often cry or ache for no explainable reason
11. And then we have a reason that pops up monthly
12. Makeup, nails, hair, etc.
So they’re not necessary expenses but they are.
