Yeah, yeah: pee sitting down, get their periods, hardy har har. But here are 5 less obvious things we ladies do that has the men in our lives scratching their heads.
1. Return from the bathroom in a bar or restaurant and inform your friends that “it’s not bad,” in case everyone was wondering if it’s too sketch to handle and you should just hold it.
2. Go underwear shopping together. Victoria’s Secret is more fun in packs!
3. Do a Biore pore strip and then examine the blackhead gunk on the strip for 10 minutes.
4. Use those scented reed diffusers. We have like 6 at our place, no joke.
5. Post chore lists in the apartment for whose turn it is to clean what.
6. Moisturize.
7. Be cold no matter where you go.
What would you add, Lovelies?

I so agree with number 2. My BF thinks it’s totally weird my sister and best friend go underwear shopping together, or go to VS together for anything. He just doesn’t believe it’s more fun that way!
guest
I can’t get over the picture to this post, dude.
Is it THAT much fun to eat, like, cookies and whatever that green stuff is? Is it really necessary to smile THAT much?! Sheesh.
orchid / 189 posts
And much agreement for number 7. I am ALWAYS cold. No matter where I am.
guest
Disagree with 5 and 6 but the others are pretty good. Especially the thing about the bathroom lol me and my friends do that all the time.
guest
Haha. I think the only ones of those that I do are 2,3 and 6.
Sometimes 7.
But this is a great list.

LOL BLACKHEADS
Oh my god are they disgusting but oh so intriguing.
orchid / 237 posts
I would add spending hours and hours shopping without buying a single thing. Although lately, with the holidays here, I have been coming home with more. This only confuses my boyfriend more as he doesn’t get why I bought anything that I brought home with me LOL
guest
Not a girl, but numbers 6 and 7 apply to me. I guess that makes me 2/7ths girly.
guest
My guy friends have those reed whatevers at their altar, and do the chore thing, and moisturizer… Sometimes, they’ll go underwear shopping with me.
orchid / 127 posts
#6 and #7, yes. The rest are bullshit, at least for me. I must not really be a woman.
guest
I don’t do any of these things except moisturize, but to my knowledge it’s one of those things guys do that they don’t want to admit to XD
guest
I only moisturize and get cold a lot. I especially don’t do the whole “going underwear shopping with your friends”. It’s just something I don’t bother to involve anyone else in on. Same with clothes shopping. I hate doing those things with other people.
guest
i know a TON of guys who moisturize actually! of course, they keep it a secret from the other dudes cause it isn’t manly..but it’s fun to discuss which is the best one for winter dry skin with them
guest
i love underwear shopping, i just can’t stop buying underwear from VS.
I am always cold, not matter what season it is or what state i’m in. always cold no matter what.
guest
Haha. I lived with a bunch of guy roommates and it seemed like I was constantly the only one who was always freezing.
guest
I think most of these are a little general. Because we’re all different, especially girls so we don’t all do or relate to these things. But anyway, being a girl doesn’t mean I love shoes or shopping, etc. I’ve noticed some girls spend a lot of time in the bathroom, just getting ready or in general (I do). Girls might get together just to talk, whereas most guys want to get together to do something more active.

Crap, I do number four….
dahlia / 2382 posts
1. Bathroom checks are a must!
2. I actually never did that. I went with a guyfriend though! LOL
3. Eh…more like 5 minutes
4. Reed diffusers for some reason mess with my allergies so I havent had one in years. The only scent that works is cotton..
5. I advocate for chore lists. It’s not fair when one does all the work. If they cant alternate times in one day, then it should go by week.
6. Dudes do it too, they just dont tell. XD
7. cold doesnt bother me but I am a bit anemic so I need a sweater.
guest
haha.VS is MUCH better in packs
and I’m always cold :\
rose / 834 posts
I still blush when I walk into VS, like it’s weird to go underwear shopping or something. I only like going to aerie for my boybriefs… little kid at heart I guess. So, no, I don’t go underwear shopping with girls. And I’ve never let them do a bra fitting at VS. Too personal.
guest
What about the gay guys who love to moisturize, use pore strips and go undie shopping at Vickies?
I want a gay friend so badly XD
guest
I do all of these except of the blackhead strip thing. I don’t use them. lol.
guest
I actually don’t do any of the above 7 on the list, except for the two obvious ones first mentioned that was not included in the list. Lol although I do 6 & am like 7 at times.
guest
the victoria’s secret underwear table is chaotic. there’s a crowd of women picking up, examining/selecting, and throwing around a mountain of underwear. the 5 for $25 isn’t even a good deal
sometimes I try on about a dozen clothing items and maybe buy one, but I’m hesitant to wear it out because it is too pretty and I don’t want to ruin it lol so I just try it on and admire it. I might wear it on a special occasion though but even then, I keep it in immaculate condition, because I’m a neat freak
sunflower / 392 posts
I totally do the first one, because some bathrooms can just get really sketchy. I love going to Victoria’s Secret with my friends.
guest
Going to the bathroom together, then waiting for each other while talking over the stalls.
Which bra is cuter?
guest
@CelestDiggory@xanga - I’m one of those aforementioned gay guys, but even I wouldn’t go into VS without a girlfriend with me who wanted to look around or buy something, lol.
guest
I disagree with 6 and 7. Some guys need to moisturize as well seeing as they get dry skin. My dad and the guy I’m seeing moisturize so they don’t dry out.
ranunculus / 3457 posts
Queef.
guest
loool pretty much
guest
i like the “always be cold”. i’ve used that sooooo many times to my advantage. hehehe
guest
@PeriwinkleAdonis@xanga - lol. I think there should be a rule: Never go undie shopping by yourself if you’re looking to go to VS
guest
i’m sure guys do some of this stuff, too. and i don’t even do half of it.
guest
LOL, so true @ #1. I would do #3 if I used pore strips.
& yeah, my [old] best friend wanted to get me underwear from VS Pink & her dad was like, “You can do that?” Haha, guys would NEVER buy each other underwear, or go underwear shopping together.
sunflower / 291 posts
@lacharrsurvs@xanga - Yeah, I spent a good minute staring at this picture and trying to figure out what was going on.
guest
haha this list totally made me laugh!
if ii don`t do them myself, ii know at least one other person who does it LOL
guest
I agree with the last statement-
be cold wherever you go!
Now that it’s winter, the feeling of universal cold is just AMPLIFIED.
It’s always funny when my teeth are chattering in a place which wouldn’t normally be thought of as freezing (maybe nippy) and my boyfriend just gives me a confused look.
guest
None of these. Guess I’m not most girls, eh? oh yeah! =D
lily / 5148 posts
@makesenseofmadness@xanga - True
guest
hahaha i’m always cold toooooo! when i go to school on a cold day you’d think the heaters would be on in the classrooms, but i’m still cold! weird though, coz my friend who is also a girl, always makes fun of me for being so cold. she’s not. idk. so maybe not all girls
guest
LOL @ #5, my roommates and I do this!
guest
I only do five and six. Five because I live with three other girls, and if we didn’t post a list, people would complain about doing more communal chores than everyone else, and six because, well, I care about my skin,
guest
Hey now, my guy loves browsing underwear and sexy barely there items with me especially if we go home with such items. And we’ve used the Biore strips on him and yes we both looked at the nastiness.

can you put a hat on my profile picture and mr. bee’s?
guest
agreeeeed
orchid / 184 posts
Definitely I agree with number 7
guest
I would NEVER go underwear shopping with anyone, even with girls! If they insisted on going into the store, sure, but I would wait until I’m shopping alone to look for those personal things. I won’t even go with my mom, for heaven’s sake. As for number one, my boyfriend is just as guilty of this one as I am.

@MoonFaeEyryan@xanga - Ew. Although, true.
guest
pretty much dead on.. haha
hydrangea / 59 posts
@lacharrsurvs@xanga - haha i guess so…i wish cookies made me feel that good!
guest
#7! all the time, baby.
guest
@Daniella_Aalyiah_Li@xanga - Lmfao I know, right? I’d be HELLA happy if they did! lmfao
guest
3. I wouldn’t say TEN minutes, but as soon as I read that I was like “ZOMG so I’m NOT the only one who does that?!”
guest
yeah i don’t do any of things. except maybe 7.
guest
Okay so with the exception of 6 (and I’m going out on a limb to give myself that one), none of these even remotely apply to me. Did I miss the memo on womanhood or something?
guest
haaaaaaa… #3 ROCKS!!! I did that with my gals sometimes XD
guest
hahaha I hate to admit it but I’m a yes for all of these!
guest
Lol! This is an awesome list!
guest
@lacharrsurvs@xanga - lmao I was thinking the same thing like they were told to say ah and smile at the same time the pic was taken LMFAO
guest
lol me and my friends are always cold
guest
HAHA! Also, I feel that us girls have way more DIRTIER conversations than guys and much more in detail!
guest
…I take offense at number 6… I have dry skin.
guest
@lacharrsurvs@xanga - i think its guacamole, friend. and yes. it is that fun. lol
guest
I love 1 and 7. This list is totally true though.
peony / 2 posts
I do all of the above…….
Also:
Talk about their boyfriends even though they are only a few feet away, but speak of them as if they are out of the country.
Comment on furniture placement at a friends flat.
Play with sugar, cream and salt and pepper shakers whilst at a restaurant as well as organize/sort cups and utensils.
guest
8. Post stupid stereotypical blogs about what “girls” do.
guest
@RaVnR@xanga - Word.
guest
@mon_lipon@xanga - It makes me mad how they have girls do that in pictures when they’re with their “girl friends.” it makes us all look like ditzy little bitches lol.
@SpOnTaNeOuS_sPiTbAlL@xanga - Guacamole is not THAT good to be practically screaming about it lol
guest
6. hahahahha. My boyfriend hates all my lotions and moisturizers. I just went to the Body Shop the other day and bought body butter in his least favourite scent.. but I can’t help it’s my favourite!
I don’t do anything else, though. Pretty proud I’m not a typical girl, this all sounds annoying.
guest
HAHA. #7. YES
guest
maybe its guac fused with pot? that’d make me laugh!
guest
mehh, only 6 and 7 apply to me.
guest
1 is so true aha although i know men who moisturise.
guest
What a stupid list.
guest
I do all of those things, except #5…
guest
lol I just got my boyfriend to start moisturizing.
Why are so many Lovelyish readers so crabby?
I enjoyed your article.
guest
I think queefing is one of them too.
guest
Aside from 3 and the random moisturizer (I’m one of those girls who just flat out forgets to do all that crapola), you’ve got the wrong dame. Vicki secrets doesn’t fit me and I go panty shopping aloooone. Bathroom reports sound weird. Those stick thingies irritate my sinuses, chore lists…not so much. I post to-do lists to remind myself to do stuff. And 7….ehhh no. I’m actually pretty temperate.
guest
“But here are 5 less obvious things” and then proceeds to list 7…
But number one is so completely true. I usually wait till someone else goes to the bathroom so I can find out how it went.
guest
i only do number 7, dont know what kinda girls all yall are
hydrangea / 77 posts
7, 3 and 2
It’s like you’re watching me.
guest
I don’t like this list. I don’t think it is very true
guest
go to the bathroom together !
guest
I know guys who do 5 and 6 and a few who do 7 as well – but they’re basically skin and bones. With that said, I’m a girl and I pretty much only do 5-7. lol. I think I’ve done 1 once. I don’t even know what you’re talking about in 4. I’ve never used a Biore strip and I hate shopping.
haha
guest
i kind of love #1. but i know my boyfriend sometimes uses my moisturizer, and ive had plenty of guys who werent him use it before. everyone gets dry skin, especially guys who shave! and i think ive gotten a boy or 2 to use a pore strip before, guys are just as fascinated as we are by the fuzzy looking pore gunk on it haha
guest
Victorias secret is funnier in packs!!! xDDDD
magnolia / 1066 posts
Only the last one is true for me. ._.;
guest
haha I do all these things…
guest
@lacharrsurvs@xanga - Ecstasy cookies, ecstasy spiked beverage, ecstasy dip. It explains it all.
I do #6, I have sensitive skin. *ahem* As for #2 I usually do that on my weeknights before we go out in drag.
