Lady or Not? Part 1

In many ways I am a girly girl.  I like my nails and hair done just so.  I fuss if a man  doesn’t anticipate my whims.  I like all things that sparkle and I dislike sports.  All this being said, many girlfriends ask me why I have a higher than average ratio of male friends.  One of my girlfriends and I were discussing this the other night when we went out.  She is very similar to me.

 Lady or Not? Part 1First, what is it with women and lotions?  Every year around my birthday and Christmas I am inundated with baskets of this stuff.  Who the heck uses hundreds of lotions?  They always smell like some sicky sweet fruit thing and are greasy and sticky.  Don’t people realize that the more you use the stuff, the more you need it?   I have started giving them back as gifts to the husbands of the wives with a box of Kleenex as a white elephant gift the next year.

 Lady or Not? Part 1The next one that gets me is the “Why are they always looking at my boobs?” question.  Well ladies, if more of your boobs are showing than are not, I will look. I hate to break it to you. I am completely straight, but boobs are boobs.  You can’t help but be mesmerized by the suckers (pun intended) and when you don’t cover them they should be fair game to peek at.  Anyone that knows me, know I will say it to your face if you complain.

I would take him right now. This is friggin’ hot!

Next is sex. Who doesn’t like sex?  Women that have to do everything don’t have time to put out.  I can tell you though, I have never met a woman who wouldn’t put out if she saw her man scrubbing floors without being asked.  Yumm…The difference between me and some women is that I don’t typically ask for it to be done.  If you don’t ask, they want to help because it isn’t a chore.  Then again, I am smart enough not to come up behind him and tell him he is doing it wrong.  I haven’t met a woman that doesn’t lose her s*&t if her significant other tells her SHE is doing it wrong.  It is a partnership not a parenting relationship.

 Lady or Not? Part 1The last one is I am overly blunt.  I tend to call things like I see them.  This works wonders with me, women on the other hand tend to want me to sugar coat things.  If they ask me if their butt looks big in something, I will say yes if it does.  If they look hot in something, I will tell them.  If they are wrong while complaining about their spouse I am the first to say.  I don’t do drama very well.  I hate it in fact.  But I will let you in on a little secret.  The majority of men I know are bigger gossips than the women I know.  Little known fact.

The reality is it took me until my late 20s to find girlfriends that were the same way back to me. I have such a wonderful group of friends, though most live far from me now.  I am very blessed to have men and women in my life that understand that I have the subtlety of a rhino.

  1. Yep. I know that one. I have never figured out why most women seem to want a person to say “You look wonderful, catwalk material,” when in fact “Oh. My. God. Take it off immediately because being arrested for indecency is far better than going around in public looking like THAT” would be closer to the truth.

  2. show us your boobs, he says bluntly. btw, i really think you should brush your teeth occasionally. you truly are amusing, and this will be a test of just how amused you are by ignorant comments. ;)

  3. “When you don’t cover them they should be fair game to peek at.” THANK YOU! Also, I regularly scrub floors but that’s because I live alone. If I was married, we would have a deal. I’ll scrub the floors if you want, but if you do you have to be dressed as a kinky French maid. As for bluntness, I’m a blunt person myself and I think it is the best way to be as long as it’s not mean-spirited.

  4. Plus you’re probably not going to get into a fist fight, hair pulling, nail scratching fight with a guy.

    (Thanks for reading my blog btw). Girls can be mad drama.

  5. I must say, I agree with you ten fold. I too, grew up with dominant male friends, and few girl friends. Even now, I married one of those guys I grew up with, and my husband is my bestest friend! The mind of a man, I seem to understand and relate to much better than most women.. But like you, I am a woman who enjoys girlie things, just at a minimum. I am very happy to have found your blog!! (I am new to blogging myself.. maybe check me out sometime) thinkspeaktryst.wordpress.com

  6. You look surprised? Of Course you have 1300 hit/views in one day, because from yesterday I fulfil one’s destiny as a man…I follow you, then they follow me and so on..hahaha
    Now: Your site is my destination. You are my destiny. You are my obsession Rebecca, my fetich you are… Yeah ;)
    Keep writing Rebecca with my best wishes on more views per day.

  7. We want to help because it isn’t a chore. What an epiphany! Male psychology– not so complex. Heck, I’ll start scrubbing floors in the nude just to make it quicker. You know I love everything that makes Becca, Becca and the only thing making you only “practically” perfect is your dislike of sports, although I think bedroom gymnastics should qualify.

    Oh and if you want to make a practical white elephant gift, don’t include Kleenex. Better a cheap washcloth. Facial tissue breaks and sticks too easily– just sayin’– if you’re thinking like a man. :D

  8. The whole “does my butt look fat” thing….
    I am going to touch on a subject that damn near got me killed by women NOT my wife. My wife is expecting our first child in December and has continued to ask me if things make her look fat. I only had to answer that question wrong once but that still doesn’t make me too smart.

    Fortunately, I have a little intelligence and now answer with a “No, you it makes you look pregnant, which is the most amazing vision in the world.” While I know that sounds trite and forced, it isn’t. We had been trying to conceive (vigorously and with extreme attention to detail I might add) for almost 7 years. To see her with my child truly is an awesome sight. She is sleeping but I think I’ll go kiss her now…and stare are her boobs.

    It occurs to me that this isn’t MY blog (which you can read at http://wguwzkid.wordpress.com) and I might have shared to much info. So….um….

  9. Lmao…There si know doubt in my mind that you are a true Lady. Your style is direct and is much appreciated in my world where so called friends will stab ya in the back….hence I dont have to many “friends”, unlike yourself. It’s nice to see somebody who doesn’t go around sugar coating everything. Keep up the great work and look forward to rewading your next blog. Oh and thanks for checkin out mine and I always look forward to your comments. Yuccoloco

    • Ohhh see I would never say it unless you asked me. That is the key. Now food in the teeth or booger in the nose, yes I would say without question. I don’t even really think about people are wearing unless it is scary. I am just truthful if they ask.

  10. Great post Bec – I’m perfectly domesticated myself. No ulterior motives, just the way I am; while I can cope with a bit messy, not so a bit dirty. The bloke who shares my apartment – we’re sort of like the odd couple, crusty old bachelors – tries hard but he’s a bit hopeless. I suspect he’s always had a woman running the domestic front. Like he’ll do the dishes and all – but I redo them when he’s not around. I’ll introduce him to the vaccum cleaner and mop one day sooon. Every morning he has the very same thing for breakfast – toasted Turkish bread, tomato & cheese with some really hot peri peri sauce (on weekends he adds about 4 poached eggs). Which is cool. Except he invariably burns the toast. This means I’m constantly airing the joint and/or burning incense. And it must annoy the bejesus out of the neighbours ‘cos it also sets off the smoke alarm, which is very shrill and loud. Usually I’m gone by that stage. It’s not a case of monkey see, monkey do either – I have tried to train him to shut the kitchen door so as to keep the smoke from reaching the alarm in the hallway but to little avail.

    Congrats on your milestone.

  11. PS I do blokey things as well – the whole DIY thing – recently fixed a friend’s gate which took 3 hours rather than the half hour I’d figured (which figures) but she was mightily impressed and I was rewarded with a spectacular chicken dinner (she does great chicken but also the best rice I have ever tasted – I’ve closely watched her do it – involves burning off the starch over a hot flame – but I can’t replicate it so I have reverted to the rice cooker – surely the most useful gadget of recent times). And I’m a sports junkie….

    • I make rice, but have never ever used a rice cooker. Rice seems pretty simple to make. ;) I could use a fix it man here in exchange for cooking. My cookin’ would make you want to smack your mama. Read today’s post.
