Don't Rush Us!!!

                Fellow women, ladies, and girls of all ages, how many times do you feel rushed when you’re getting ready to go somewhere or meet someone? How often does someone pressure you to “hurry up” or “get going”? How frequently do guys “poke fun” or “tease” you because they don’t understand how long it takes girls to prepare before going out?  
 

                 For most women, time to get ready for any given day is practically the same as the time guys take before a big football game! That time is considered not only essential but also sacred.  Ladies like to look and feel their best before tackling the everyday events in their lives. If you really think about it, girls have to do a lot to be on top of their game.

 In the shower girls have to:

Ø  shampoo and condition a lot of hair

Ø  They also have a lot more to shave then men do.

Ø   (Men only have to shave their beards.)

Ø   (Girls have to shave their entire legs and underarms too!)

Out of the shower girls have to:

Ø  Blow-dry their hair which takes about an HOUR

 (just for the record!)

Ø  Fix/do their hair

Ø   Apply makeup

Ø  Pick out clothes

Ø  Pick out matching accessories

Ø  Experiment with different styles.

Ø  Do fingernails and toenails

Ø   Fix eyebrows

                Oh! Don’t forget that if you get multiple girls together getting ready, then it’ll be like a whole  party within itself. Then they can check out each other’s choices and give them tips. Plus, it just gives them another closet full of clothes and accessories to choose from! Therefore next time guys want to say something about how girls take too long getting ready just to go out guys should think twice before they even open their mouths!

                However, psychological studies have proven that men and women perceive the world in different ways; as if every female on the planet is wearing a pair of pink contact lenses and every male is wearing blue lenses. Dr. Emerson Eggerichs uses a similar analogy in his book Love and Respect to make  the point; that a certain event or action can be seen very differently between different genders. This is one of the reasons guys don’t understand the way women get ready; whether to go to work, or to a party, or even just taking a shower.

                Guys just don’t seem to understand that this time to get ready is very important and cannot be rushed! If a girl is rushed, it will probably take even more time because she will keep remembering things that she still has to do since she didn’t have enough time. Although, with that being said, it is true that no amount of time will ever really be enough for a girl to get completely ready. There are always more things she can critique in any amount of time she is given. Therefore, it could be arguable that it shouldn’t be that important, or that there is no time “long enough”, so you might as well just go. But it really just comes back down to the pink and blue glasses. It’s just one big difference between boys and girls.
