So after a 'discussion' with a few female friends, I just decided that I needed to vent about how easy getting ready in the morning is for guys.
Us females, have this innate sense to always want to look nice. We're not exactly fond of looking like we just rolled out of bed 6 seconds ago and ran all the way to class and forgot to brush our hair and put on deodorant. Preferably we'd like to look like we woke up at 5am (and still look well rested) and spent at least an hour trying to at least look presentable. Now, don't call me vain or anything, but it's just a natural instinct. Guys, they wake up and think first about their need for the bathroom and then the fact that they've only got 4 pop-tarts left, meaning they've only got enough for a breakfast and a half. They grab a shirt that doesn't have visible stains, or outstanding odors, throw it on with the pair of jeans they wore yesterday, put on 1 of the 2 pairs of shoes they have (tennis shoes and dress shoes) and walk out the door, in 3 minutes flat. NO! Not so easy for us females!
If we wake up late, the first thing going through her mind is "what's quick to put on, but looks like I actually woke up when my alarm first when off an hour ago?". Jeans and a t-shirt is usually what it ends up being because that's what grabbed first and you don't have to worry about matching. Next thing is shoes, deciding between the 15 pairs that you have. Heels usually are kicked off the list because those are hard to run in and you're already late. Tennis shoes just makes it look like you're ready to go for a run. So you decide for flats, but which pair. You obviously need your brown pair, since your t-shirt is predominately brown, if only you could find your other shoe. By now at least 5 minutes has passed and you still don't have shoes or your hair done, much less makeup! So, you actually decide on your black flats since you can find those, but then you have to change your shirt to match it, so you have to take another minute to find that cute black t-shirt. Now comes the hair. If you're lucky you can comb it, throw it into a ponytail and walk out the door. But most people aren't lucky. After brushing through your hair, you debate between wearing it down, putting it up in a ponytail, or putting it half up. After actually looking at yourself, you decide that if you were to wear it down, you'd either need to put in some product or straighten it. Better opt for the ponytail, it requires the least amount of time, at least that's what we'd like to think. First attempt leaves you with a huge bump on the top of your head, nope better take it out and try again. Finally after the 14th attempt, it finally looks good and bump-less. Oh, and I had forgotten to mention the decision between putting in the contacts or wearing the glasses, made while washing the face of course. And since a huge pimple decided to present itself overnight, makeup is in order, to at least try to hide the fact that it looks like a kid drew a big red circle on your face in permanent marker. And of course, grabbing breakfast while on the way out the door, do you opt for the not so healthy pop-tart, or rather the protein shake that you've been needing since you've got a dress to fit into. Yep, better opt for the protein shake, them dresses don't grow to fit you!
Oh, and if it's a windy day, a female must choose a hairstyle that's going to look decent wind-blown. Or if it's rainy, no white shirts, and shoes that you don't mind getting a bit wet. Ah yes, being male must be rough, at least when it comes to getting ready in the morning.
