We're Really Not That Complicated

An abbreviated guide on what women are really thinking.

We're Really Not That Complicated
new now next

Okay so lately I've been hearing a lot of people talking about how they don't understand women and it's kind of confusing to me. Maybe it's because I'm probably one of the lowest-maintenance people you'll ever meet, but a lot of women out of there can probably identify with me. I feel like the image of women being hormonal/angry that's perpetuated by society is unfair, making it somewhat difficult to destroy the stereotype. I'll be the first to admit that sometimes I'm just hangry and won't tell you what's wrong, but I'll usually be honest with you. Guys, you should take notes.

1. "I'm fine."

Okay so this one could go either way. Is she smiling or do her eyes look blank? If you chose the second one, she is definitely not fine. You better start apologizing now. She probably wouldn't mind a bouquet of roses. Or chocolate. If she was really smiling, it's okay to just believe her. Don't keep bugging her about if she's actually fine or not, because that actually might make her irritated with you.

2. "What do you want for dinner?" "Oh I don't care."

Sometimes she might actually not care about where you go, but sometimes it's just a statement that attempts to see how much you actually listen to her when she talks about her favorite and least favorite foods. I hate most breakfast foods, so I just hope that with enough times I've ranted about my hatred for pancakes, you won't suggest IHOP.

3. "Oh that looks like it'd be interesting!"

This is an indicator that she probably wants to go do/see whatever you just talked about. This is also kind of a bait to see if you'd be willing to do things that she likes. I really don't 100% love football, but if the guy I'm talking to/dating wants to watch a game, you better believe I'll be there trash talking the refs and yelling at the kicker for missing the field goal.

4. "Wow, he got her the prettiest flowers."

Okay so I definitely have done this before. If I make it a point to tell my significant other about someone else's life and relationship, it probably means I wished he'd do something similar for me. I really could only get flowers once and be fine because they die anyway, but it's the thought that counts. Actually, just get her something she likes. I would probably be happier about getting a box combo from Cane's, so adjust according to the woman!

5. And the famous "What did you just say?"

Chances are, she probably heard what you said. And she didn't like it. You should quickly reevaluate how you just came across and sincerely apologize.

See guys, this is a shortened version on the guide to women. If you follow these guidelines, you and your lady might have a much less tense relationship.

Disclaimer: Not all women are the same so please adjust to suit the personality of your significant other.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
