There are times in your life when you just have to admit, it's great to be able to play the girl card...
-Women can cry their little hearts out at a good chick flick. No judgements will be made. Kleenex will be passed.
-Women can declare a box "Too Heavy". Men can't do that. Well I guess they can but it's not very sexy.
-Girls are able to ask for directions. Apparently men are not able to do this? They are missing the direction asking gene. That's a fact. I asked around.
-Women can SHOCK a man when we kick his butt in a hand of poker, hang a picture, or set up a TV. These things men are supposed to know how to do.
-We can be scared. It's even cute.
-Enjoy a mani/pedi. Personally, I have already advised my girls to avoid all boys who have better nail polish then they do.
-Wear a pretty little sundress to that wedding while he melts in his hot, yet oh so gorgeous suit.
-Women can scream for help when we see a hairy spider. Men, not so much.
-Get giggly over wine. Yeah, not so attractive from a dude.
I know there are lots of things about being a woman that truly suck...PMS, unrealistic body expectations, crunch between work and home...but I would never, not ever want to be a man.
So I'll admit it, here in the Suburbs, sometimes it's good to be a girl.

Amen to that! :)
About men with nail polish... ugh! That, and pinky rings. Double ugh.
That's a great list. I've seen many a man giggly over wine, and I think it's very amusing sight.
heh heh I enjoy being Mr. Fix it around here!
and can sob my little heart out with a chick flick.
Gimme the Kleenex! holds hand out to the boys and they roll their eyes
So true! I love every minute of being a girl and wouldn't trade it for the world! Cause lets be honest...boys are gross.
Love your post! My sister used to say that 'I wish I was a man'
I' ve never wished I was a man.
It is not easy but it is good to be a girl ;)
I am so with you on men having to sweat it out in a suit while we wear much cuter and lighter outfits.
And I will never have to change a tire or my car's oil or filter. I'll always play my 'girl card' for car work.
Thanks for stopping by today!
I can definately agree. I would hate to be a man...they don't get slack for anything. And have you ever seen a man talk his way out of a speeding ticket? :)
Hellooooo! High five on this list! LOL!
I don't even have to know how to START the lawnmower. I have no idea what's under the hood of my car. I almost never have to drive on long trips. I could go on...
Amen, Amen! Yes, PMS does suck (especially as I get older - wth?). And a few other things - but man oh man. How great is it to be a girl? The power of giving birth or mothering a child? And yes, as Mrs. Eyecansee - boys are gross! Just look (or smell) mine and you can see that!
No dangly bits. I'm appreciative of that part of being a girl. Ah ha
It is good to be a girl in the Land of Nowhere too! Although I've seen a man scream like a girl when he thinks there is a snake in his bed. [Evil Laugh}
This is the best!! And yet, so true, Great insights girlie!
Hello, I'm new here; sound familiar? Just thought I'd pop in for a quick look-see. I think some of the rules change/bend when you reach my age. Giggly over wine, that's o.k. and bonding when you're old.
Not lifting heavy stuff, that's sexy because it's smart not to put your back out and smart is sexy. See? Things change when you're 1/2 a century old. Oh yeah. . .almost forgot, Cute Hubby cries at stupid things like car rental commercials. Now that's sexy. xo
Amen! I would sooo hate to be a man!
I kill the spiders in my house...
my husband is afraid of them.
Love it!! Great list! It is good to be a girl!!
Thanks again for visiting my blog!!
I agree with you. I love being a girl...except for some of the girl issues. ;)
I am in complete and total agreement (though I must say my hubby did stop to ask directions the other day. Had we been dating that SO would not have been okay. Married, it was just fine!)
I absolutely love this! So true, I love being a girl and everything that comes with it :)
Growing up I was a tomboy and hated being girly.
Now, I love being a girl so much. LOVE it. I love being girly while still being able to show I am strong and capable.
Also I couldn't be a man because I need to multitask!
Yep - I love being a girl. Wouldn't change it for a thing (not even for the dangly bits). Definitely love the wearing a dress to a wedding and not having to get all hot and bothered in a suit (and look almost like everyone else). Nice post lady...x
Giggly over wine and loving a good manicure. Totally a chick thing! :)
Awesome list! And I'm with you, I wouldn't want to be a man. As I say around here all the time, "It's good to be Queen"!
I couldn't agree more..with just about all of it! My favorite part is the fact that I can be super tough when I want to and super delicate when the need arises! It's GREAT!
you are so right! I would make the wimpiest man ever! And after all the girl wardrobe issues, we deserve the sundress advantage :)
Being a girl is always good. Or at least, the good definitely beats the bad.
How about shoes? Men's shoes are nowhere as fabulous as ours. Nor should they be! We are girls ;-)
Hey! Thanks for visiting my blog...and for leaving a comment! Nice to meet ya!
I've been reading yours today. What a hoot! Your list here is pretty cool. I'll add one more, if I may...We women can snuggle into our man's shoulder just to be held and loved. Men don't get to do that. What a feeling.
Have a great day!
love this... i always say i'd rather be a girl any day!
I enjoy being a girl, thanks for reminding me of the joys of XX chromosomes.
LOL always better to be a girl!!!! Love the list!
I agree, being a girl definitely has its benefits! I have seen a guy scream at a hairy spider, my dad hates them, lol!
Agreed! I love being female! Except the whole monthly crap.
I'm back. Thought I'd read what everybody else had to say. You hang with a nice crowd, and got yourself another follower missy. : )
wow, i love this post! (and i feel it's always great to be a giiirrrll!!!)
Don't forget we also get to wear fabulous shoes...even though they make our feet hurt. I don't ever wish to be a man, although I wish to inflict some of the not so good things about being a woman on them from time to time.
So true! All the men I know scream at spiders!
This is funny, my eight year old son just asked me, "what's it like to be a girl?" And I thought, "sometimes it's not easy"
we can read the manual too, another gene missing in men!
I agree. I can't tie a tie so I'd look stupid in a suit!
Great post!
Hugs!!
I love being a girl! Boys are stupid.
I hear you! If nothing else, we get to wear clothes that are comfortable for the weather. You hit the nail on the head! Sundress? Tank top? Fine. Our men are always wearing long sleeves and pants...too bad!
Absolutely, positively!
i couldnt agree w/ you more!
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!
I enjoy being a girl!
Being a girl is definitely awesome. My husband has finally gotten to the point where he brings home chocolate, for me, for medicinal purposes. He's learning! And he would never get away with expecting the same from me. Men addicted to chocolate are just weird...
Finally got caught up with reading your blog.. Lots of giggles! Loved them all. :)
Amen. Very well said and oh so very true! Being a girl is pretty darn cool.
Amen sister! Now if I can just have a baby girl who will grow up one day and agree with me on some those thoughts.
I think I'm pushing it a little.;)
Yay, I got my post up about this fab post (and I see it's already listed at the end, in "posts linking to this post" lol)
