18 Insights Into Understanding Women

From The Bachelor Guy – It’s no revelation that we guys have a tough time understanding women. It’s been the subject of dozens of “romantic comedies”, gave Jim Belushi a longer career than he deserved, and filled enough books to reach to Mars and Venus and back. But when you hear some of the conversations women have when they don’t think anyone’s listening, you start to gain a little more insight.

The following are pieces of overheard conversation taken from the website, OverheardInNewYork.com, and its sister site, OverheardEverywhere.com. Besides being off the charts on the Unintentional Comedy Scale, they are, let’s just say, illuminating…

Insight 1: Regardless of how true something may be, they will still be shocked and appalled at us for thinking it.
Hot southern girl #1: So, before I came up here my mom is like, “Be very careful around those northern boys, they think all southern girls just love to cook and f***.”
Hot southern girl #2: Oh my gosh, are you serious? They think that? That’s so messed up!
Hot southern girl #1: I know!
Hot southern girl #2: But I really do love to cook… And f***.
Hot southern girl #1: I know… Me too.

Insight 2: Women may claim to love a guy with a sense of humor, but a huge bank account is still the biggest aphrodisiac.
Woman #1: It’s really small, you know, but the sex is wonderful.
Woman #2: You mean he’s rich?
Woman #1: Yeah. Exactly.

Insight 3: Role models are important. Ours are athletes, successful businessmen and action heroes. Theirs are just different.
Chick #1: Have I ever told you how much I hate Sex and the City?
Chick #2: Yes.
Chick #1: I just think that if women are going to base their lives around a TV show, it should be a cooler one… like Ninja Turtles.
Chick #2: You’re right.
Chick #1: April O’Neil was a good role model. She was interested in reporting the truth and wearing yellow jumpsuits. And nailing Casey Jones. He was hot.

Insight 6: If they don’t look good, personality helps.
Girl #1: I’m funny.
Girl #2: No you’re not.
