Women do crazy things

"How can you girls balance on those things?” A guy friend once asked. Naturally he was referring to stilettos. On another occasion, the same friend (you can gather that he is quite clueless about female fashion) asked, “Hey Janice! Why do you have a towel wrapped around you?” He was pointing at her tube.

I guess his behavior is a clear demonstration of how guys can never fathom why girls do the things they do. I mean, who in their right minds would want to walk around with on 3” stilts?

Quite crazy right? Not only that, girls like to subject themselves to pain and torture. All in the name of beauty.

We allow sharp objects to get near our eyes just to remove minuscule hair:

We tear during the process, but anything for perfect arches:

But if this is for guys to notice us more, it is a useless attempt. After Sherry got her brows removed by 50%, she looked like another person to us girls. But when her mother asked her brother to guess what was different about her, he mumbled that she had a giant pimple on her nose. So guys, pay attention!!!

Then there is the whole bizarre act of putting glob of glop on our faces, sometimes white:

Sometimes black:

Even though we know guys will not notice that blackheads have vanished from our noses. Who will sympathize with what we went through to remove those darned things? We have watery and blood-shot eyes from the glop molecules that got into our pretty peepers:

Also on our lists is to experiment with things that can make us different from the rest of ‘em girls. There’s the whole arsenal of make-up and beauty products; then we sometimes burn our hair to make it curl like those Jappie kawaii girls local guys seem to love, and from time to time, we give colored contacts a go:

Often ending up with scarlet eyes.

Why oh why do girls do such outlandish things? Is it to attract guys? Or to gain admiration from fellow females? To get on the cover of magazines?

Alas! All these are fruitless. Firstly, it has been proven that guys will not notice that you have eyeliner on today and not yesterday. Secondly, though the female of the species will notice your tiny changes (let’s face it girls, we are all bitches scrutinizing every other female on the streets), they rather die than to admit that you look nice (read: they look less nice). Thirdly, magazines look for celebrities, not virtual unknowns (Hey! I like that pun. Virtual unknowns, geddit???)

At the end of the day, girls do all these and whip out our digital cameras to practice narcissism because we are our biggest admirers.
