“Why are women’s clothing sizes all over the place? One store, a size four, could be a nine at a different store,” one man confessed.

Four thousand men wanted to know, “Where do you want to eat?” One woman answered, “Sometimes, I get into this cycle of knowing I need to eat, but NOTHING sounds appetizing.
So when I get asked where I want to eat, I’m stuck because I’m cycling through restaurants and their familiar dishes in my head, going….. ‘does this sound good? Will I eat this?’ My brain often says, ‘Nah, sis, pick something else.”
10. Why Are There So Many Bobby Pins and Hair Ties?

Someone shared, “I watched one of my female friends “hit on” a guy a few nights ago, then come back to the table mad that he wasn’t responding to her advancements. I watched the whole thing go down.
