Hi Everyone,
Honestly, I have no idea when any of these started but they did and they’ve been with me for awhile, so they are kind of hard to stop. There are four things that make me like a man. This is what I mean.
If it’s one thing I can’t stand is shopping! That’s the first thing. Now I would like to remind everyone that I am a woman so my not liking or in fact hating shopping is considered highly unusual to other people. Men seem to appreciate it but most women seem confused by this. It’s the truth though. The only way I can go shopping without losing my mind is by doing the following.
The first thing I do when I enter a store is approach the FIRST clerk I see and tell them EXACTLY what I need or want. Here’s an example. “I need black pants, size 0 or size 1. Do you have any? Are they are sale? Okay where are they?” And then I grab as many as I think will fit me, head for the change room and buy as many as I think I need. My thinking is that I hate shopping so why not get as many of whatever I will need in one trip or store to prevent me from having to go back anytime soon.
If they don’t have what I need or my size I immediately ask the clerk what stores in the mall they think will have what I need. Then I rush off to the closest one and repeat the above until I find EXACTLY what I need or want. For the times that I do find what I am looking for in more than one store I will do some comparison shopping but even that is kept to a minimum. All I ever want to do when I’m in a shopping mall is GET OUT of it as soon as humanly possible. Shopping to me a HUGE waste of time! So yes, I am a like a man when it comes to shopping. Although there are a growing number of men who, for whatever reason are starting to like, enjoy shopping.
The second thing that I think makes me like a man is the fact that I HATE gossip as much as I HATE DRAMA!!! I’ve blogged about this several times already because well, I HATE both of them. Again to me they are a HUGE, UTTER, COMPLETE WASTE of time! And then there is that saying by Eleanor Roosevelt, “Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events and small minds discuss people.” After reading that, what would you want your mind to be known for? If you said, small-mindedness, SLAP yourself TWICE!!! One for each of your side of your face. If, by chance you have more than one face, slap yourself accordingly. I’m like a man when it comes to listening to gossip and having drama in my life.
The third thing is cleaning. Washing floors, bathrooms, kitchens etc. are things that I know I must do, so I do them eventually. If I had it my way, (and trust me, I am working on that) I would have a cleaning service. I mean it. Sweeping is okay. I don’t mind that. Dusting is definitely not my thing. I’m like a man when it comes to cleaning.
Now that I think of it few things that have been known for being, feminine are my thing. That also includes cooking. While we’re at it, I hate all of those girlie things that women do like their nails, hair, etc., BUT, BUT I do them ONLY because men are visual.
The fourth and final thing will probably knock people into next year. I think about sex more than men do! The average man thinks about sex 19 times per day and the average woman thinks of it 10 times per day. I don’t know why or when THAT started, but again, it’s the truth. I guess it’s a good thing that I have a very active imagination.
If you don’t know what I mean, here’s a link for, Are You Ready For Valentine’s Day, http://arebelsrant.com/are-you-ready-for-valentines-day/
For anyone who doesn’t know me, this is a rant. This is why. A lot of people don’t seem to understand why I don’t like or enjoy what a lot of other women do. My question is WHO CARES? If you want to accept me for me, cool. If not, that’s okay too.
Thank you for reading, A. Rebel’s Rant! ;D
