It's Hard Being a Woman

Do men realize how much women put themselves through to look attractive? Between the face paint, hair highlights and dying, tight-fitting clothing and spike heels, women should get an award just for existing.

Lately I’ve been banning all things womanly. I can't remember the last time I blow-dried my hair. I wear minimal make-up and avoid high heels like the plague. This time of year, when it’s cold outside, looking attractive comes secondary to being warm and comfortable. I can already feel my winter weight creeping on. Thank goodness for bulky sweaters!

I’ve been taking notice of the painful atrocities women go through just to attract men. The other day in 40-degree weather, I saw woman tromping around downtown Atlanta in a tank top, skirt and knee-high boots. She looked cute but very cold and uncomfortable. It’s cold woman, put some clothes on! Is it really worth freezing your butt off? Nope, not to me.

For the time being, I will resign myself to the fact that I simply have stopped caring. You think I look better with make-up on? Guess what, I don’t care.

I’m gonna sit here and sip my diet soda and think about how happy I am that my spike heels are resting comfortably on my closet floor. Welcome winter, I’ve been waiting for you!
