Warning: This is highly satirical and stereotypical (kind of true though!) and was made with the intent of being funny. If you find any of these crude jokes offensive, then suck it up (nah, I apologize if you are).
So this is a list that I found (with the exception of a few I changed) on this site.
10. To have a baby
9. The inaccuracy of every bathroom scale ever made
8. Cutting your bangs to make them grow
7. Taking a car trip without trying to beat your best time
6. The difference between beige, off-white, and eggshell
5. To gossip
4. Eyelash curlers
3. The need for the same style of shoes in different colors
2. PMs
1. OTHER WOMEN (I love this one the most by far)
So, what do you think of this list? Funny or lame? And which ones could you see applying to you?

Of course I understand all those things
guest
I counted 8 of those that my boyfriend is pretty understanding with (some more than me)-
guest
haha.
guest
lol. very true.
guest
what are PMs? or is that PMS? frankly, i don’t understand eyelash curlers.

haha about the colors.
guest
I have never used eye lash curlers. I think they’re lame.
Boys can understand how having a baby works. My brother learned so much about child birth when his wife was giving birth. He can explain a whole bunch of the terms, and what is happening when certain things are happening. It was cool.
guest
Haha! the bathroom scale one is SOO true.
guest
Eyelash curlers…people still use those? I thought with all the mascara technology, most women discarded them…
guest
i truly dont get 8, 3 and 6, i mean, if its the same color why name it different, its like the millions tones of white o.O white is white, i understand if it shines or not, but eeeh?
and above all i dnt understand other women really T_T
guest
i don’t like how the things shift from being actual things to being infinitives. ugh.
that aside, men gossip too! just go on over to mancouch.
guest
@hilaw@xanga - Agreed. That’s one that I just don’t see the need for.
Other than that I thought this post was cute. My boyfriend might not understand these things directly, but he is understanding of the emotional conflict of PMS and all of that, lol. Didn’t find this offensive at all!
guest
oh number 6. you forgot ecru and sand
guest
I’m a women myself and even I have a hard time understanding women xD

@hilaw@xanga - @where_are_my_fritos@xanga - well they help with fakesies. fixes together the real lashes and the fake; keeps them from looking completely unnatural, you know?
and i take guff with #5. guys gossip just as much as girls do.

It irks me when guys ask if I’m moody because I’m PMSing. No guy should ever act like they understand PMS. They underestimate the pain and discomfort…if they only have to deal with cramps AND bloating…and be in our shoes before mocking the power of PMS.

I’ve yet to understand number 10.
guest
3. The need for the same style of shoes in different colors
oh please sometimes i think guys are way crazier with this
guest
I don’t like 9. even guys care about their weight and appearance, except most men care about building muscle and being bigger, while most women care about losing fat and getting smaller.
guest
number 6. i can tell the difference, my boyfriend thinks everything that looks white is white. HAHA
guest
I must secretly be a man because none of those make any sense to me.
guest
i don’t really understand 10. to make a baby…maybe i’m just not there yet.
guest
I don’t do 8 or 7, especially not 7.
guest
You may wanna change #2 – I think you mean PMS, not PMs. PMs = personal messages. LOL.
And I think the majority of these are true.
guest
you missed being a bitch(not aggressive but actually bitchy) after years of friendship (stupid, paranoid freakazoid, ugh!) sorry personal getting in the way…
guest
I’m a man and I understand not one thing you mentioned,
Looks pretty accurate
guest
i must be one hell of a lousy girl.

#10…. not for me yet
guest
Haha, that’s good
Especially number one & number seven. Number 10 on the other hand, I believe men want children also. What I don’t get about it though, is why women are in such a hurry? If you’re 25 & single you’re known as some sort of spinster or something. No thanks! I’m waiting & taking my time in life.
sunflower / 271 posts
3!
guest
I think this is silly. I like it.
But I’m adding hair extensions to the list. Only women understand why we would want them.
=]
guest
dude, i don’t get 10 and 2. lol. in fact, i don’t believe 2 actually exists.
sunflower / 494 posts
i only understand gossiping, eyelash curler, some women and pms. btw i thought guys buy the same type of t-shirt in all colours? lol
guest
Lol, some of these are funny, shades of white only matter is they are being used together, I hate when people wear certain colors together, white, red, and black mostly, and they don’t match! If they aren’t being used together then I don’t care.
And 7 I so totally get, my best friend live several hours apart, so after making the trip a few times, we have started seeing who can make between each others homes the fastest, but we have to deal with city traffic, pit stops, weather, and other drivers. It’s actually kind of fun. The boyfriends don’t get it, but she and I are usually the ones driving it, and mostly alone so we have made the drive dozens of times over the last few years. The guys, only a few times each, and I am not actually sure either has ever driven it, they have always just been passengers.
guest
6. The difference between beige, off-white, and eggshell <<—-EXACTLY! hahaha..
guest
never heard of the colour ‘eggshell’ o_o
guest
For the record, I *always* try to beat my car trip time.
)
guest
#9!!! omg i cant tell you how many times ive gotten on one scale..and then goto the other one and its like a 3 pound difference?! Its petty I know..but i have alot of free time
guest
I believe guys gossip even more than girls.
guest
@mewithoutu77@xanga - Yeah, same here.
Everything else I get though.
orchid / 127 posts
I have to agree with the eyelash curler. I have two and my husband doesn’t know why.
And number 10 — I went through labor WITHOUT any pain medication. And my husband got mad when I told him not to touch me during a contraction….he would have understood if he went through it.
Ahhh…this list made me laugh.
guest
10. To have a baby
I don’t want a kid.
9. The inaccuracy of every bathroom scale ever made
Some of the cheaper ones are inaccurate. Mine is accurate. It better be, anyway.
8. Cutting your bangs to make them grow
No, I never did that.
7. Taking a car trip without trying to beat your best time
Nope.
6. The difference between beige, off-white, and eggshell
Aren’t they all white?
5. To gossip
I don’t gossip, or at least I try not to. My female friends noticed this and they told me it was nice I did not gossip as much as them.
4. Eyelash curlers
Nope.
3. The need for the same style of shoes in different colors
Yes, I understand that.
2. PMs
PMS is different for every women. Some get really emotional, while others like me don’t really get mood swings, but I do get fatigue and bloating. Other girls just act bitchy because they know it’s coming.
1. OTHER WOMEN (I love this one the most by far)
This depends. I don’t understand certain women and why they act the way they do, while other ones I do understand. I can understand where some women come from. It’s the same with men… Sometimes I wonder why they do the same things they do, and other times I understand where they are coming from. Or maybe some people are just fucked. I don’t know.
Yeah, this is stereotypical, but it’s okay and a pretty harmless list.
guest
I disagree with number 7. I drive like a Cullen ; ]
guest
well…since i’m so different…i don’t know what to say…xD
guest
Haha. Love the one about the bathroom scale!
guest
ahh… bathroom scales. I have three! they are all wrong!!! one of them now has dust on it because it is so wrong I barely use it anymore… it says im heavier than what the other two say I am… lol. Most of the others I dont get tho… i must be a man… that gets PMS. lol
guest
haha, i like numbers 9, 6 and 1.
guest
I don’t understand women… Shit.
guest
True and funny!
guest
10 confuses me I dont understand :S
guest
@xjadersx@xanga - I’m assuming on the list it means what you actually go through. A guy will never know the pain a woman goes through during birth and the emotions. But that is great that your brother really got into it, go him!!
guest
Well I do technically understand eyelash curlers (don’t they use them for when they’re putting fake eyelashes on?), but I don’t use them because I don’t wear fake eyelashes and also because I have mascara. I think the gossip thing applies to both women and men. We all have a strange fascination with talking about other people’s lives/wanting to know what is happening in other people’s lives, whether it be friends, other people we know, or celebrities.
I only really understand 2, 3, 4, and 5. 6-10 (for 10: if you mean the obsession with babies and wanting to have a million of them) don’t make any sense to me, and I honestly don’t understand other women.
guest
i only understand 5 of those things…
i see no need to have 5 pairs of shoes in different colors.. or eyelash curlers…and to me.. those 3 colors all seem the same.

Gossip has such negative connotations, more accurately women understand small talk and being social, while most (not all) men don’t. I have this married couple as a friend and they are the perfect example. I can call with something important to discuss, like making plans, and if I get the husband we are done within five minutes, guaranteed. I can call with nothing in particular and if I get the wife it’s a forty five minute conversation before we even get to “so why did you call?”
guest
@ScorpioInBlack@xanga - SO TRUE.
guest
Number 6 made me chuckle, especially because my husband and I have had that discussion, hehe.
guest
How about numerous pairs of shoes in the same color, different style… The boys I know DO NOT understand why I have more then one pair of black flats/heels.
guest
i don’t understand the point of this list :p
guest
I don’t get eyelash curlers or #8..
guest
Pretty much true for all of them. Although I’ve never used eyelash curlers.
guest
I’m a woman. I don’t understand any of those except for #6, and that’s because I’m an art major.
But as far as jokes go, this was kind of funny.
sunflower / 392 posts
4,5, and 6 are the only ones i understand so far. and your pic is the cutest! is that really yu?
guest
I understand most of those x-)
guest
out of all these ten things, the only ones i understand is 7 and 2.
rose / 781 posts
I don’t do 8 or 7 and I don’t know anything about eyelash curlers?
guest
I understand all of them except having a baby (too young), eyelash curlers and other women! lol
sadly I don’t understand us either.
guest
True, they all apply.
guest
nice.
guest
Yup…That’s pretty cool~
guest
I definately think the most true on this list are:
10. To have a baby
8. Cutting your bangs to make them grow
7. Taking a car trip without trying to beat your best time
6. The difference between beige, off-white, and eggshell
2. PMS
I disagree with the last one becuase, honeslty, I never understand other women >.<
