Demystifying Women

I recently saw a friend I hadn't seen in about a year.  She'd lost a lot of weight and she looked GREAT!  She was rockin' her jeans big-time.  But when I told her how great she looked she said, "OMG!  I've put on like 5 lbs. in the past couple of months."

And it made me realize why men get so frustrated with us.

Let's say I weigh 140 lbs.  If last year I weighed 150, then 140 ROCKS! But if last year I weighed 130 lbs. 140 SUCKS!

Likewise if last week I put on a pair of pants and they felt tight; and today they feel loose, I’m in heaven! If they feel the same or tighter, it can flat-out ruin my day (and probably yours). It doesn’t even have to do with tightness/looseness; all it takes is something shifting a bit (which happens as we get older).

We know you think we look great, and we appreciate that, but what really matters to us is what we think. So keep the compliments coming, but don’t expect us to always agree with you.

I hope that helped a bit.  Have a great weekend!
