How To Be The Perfect Woman
winquest

If you are a girl, you have probably grown up being told to “be ladylike,” or to “mind your manners,” or you've even been threatened by adults that “boys don’t like girls who” do this or do that, things that boys are never told to do, or if they are, it's not a priority. But as a girl, constant pressure is put on you to be as mild-tempered and easygoing as possible. Studies have even found that in schools, boys are praised for outgoing and loud personalities while girls are praised for being obedient and kind. But you could become the perfect woman in these easy steps.

1. Be obedient and kind.

Or don’t.

2. Wear dresses.

Or wear sneakers and sweatpants or jeans and a T-shirt or whatever you consider comfy. Because how you dress does not matter. As long as you are comfortable and feel good about yourself in your clothes you will be more confident and happy.

3. Have long, beautiful hair.

Or rock the pixie, the bob, bangs, highlights, curls, ponytail, even the mullet (if your heart really desires).

4. Don’t swear.

Though sometimes it is not the time and a place, say whatever the hell you want to say. First Amendment rights.

5. Want a family of your own.

Or don’t. If a career is your main priority, good for you. Reach your goals and do not let gender expectations hold you back.

6. Clean up after everyone.

And be tidy yourself.

Or be untidy, because you probably have more important things to worry about and not enough time to clean all the time.

7. Be skinny.

Go to the gym daily and watch your carbs. And don’t forget to wear makeup to the gym duh.

Or don’t wear makeup to the gym because you know it will be sweated off. Or don’t go to the gym, period.

You could go on for days about things a woman should or shouldn’t be. But point is be you. Because being the perfect woman is about thinking that you are the perfect woman. If you're happy with yourself that is all that matters.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
