The Modern Woman

1) Why do women always go to the bathroom together?

Asked by: Jim S. from  St. Paul, MN


Believe it or not women are capable of going to the bathroom alone... we simply choose not to 95% of the time. One reason we tend to travel in groups to the bathroom is so we can talk to each other about the men that we are with. Women are natural gossipers, and sometimes we can't wait to talk about what we think about our date or about what a friend thinks about their date. Another reason could be that we aren't sure where the bathrooms are, and we don't want to look stupid alone while wandering all over the restaurant alone. The main reason we go to the bathroom together, however, is because of the lines in the bathroom. Men don't seem to have this problem so you may not feel the need to bring company. Waiting in line for ten minutes just to pee tends to be more tolerable when you have someone to talk to.

2) What's the most "over-rated" feature on a man?

Asked by: Geoff H. from Kansas City, MO


Not every woman will agree with me of course, but I think the most over-rated feature on a man is well-defined abs. A man who takes care of himself is attractive, but a 6-pack or an 8-pack is not required. Women don't want men who live in a gym and are more obsessed over their bodies than we are. There is a fine line between being in shape to be healthy and being a narcissist.

3) Are women's "time of the month," nearly as bad as described?

Asked by: Pete D. from Las Vegas, NV


This is a tricky question: No and yes. In no way could a woman's time of the month be described as pleasant. Our boobs hurt, we get cramps and our hormones are running rampant inside our bodies. It's not pleasant, but it's not terrible. It's more of a nuisance than it is the agony that some women describe it as. It is something every woman has to deal with frequently, and we should all be used to it by this point I would think. Without our "time of the month" we would not be able to reproduce, so some women need to look at it more as a part of life rather than an illness.

There are some extreme circumstances where periods can be as bad, if not worse, as described due to illness. Endometriosis causes severe pelvic pain and irregularity. Also, some women suffer from Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder that causes severe depression and is often treated with psychiatric medications.

4) What's the worst pick up line you've ever heard? (Feel free to give a few.)

Asked by: Paul O. from NYC


I have yet to see a pick up line actually work, so in my opinion all pick up lines are bad. I actually had a man come up to me and ask me if I was looking for a sugar daddy! I have also had men ask "Can I have some fries to go with that shake?" and the infamous "Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?"

5) What's the worst way a guy has ever broken up with you?

Asked by: Billy K. from Spokane, WA


I am not a good person to ask about this one because I have only been broken up with once and it was when I was a teenager. He called me on the phone and after talking for about 20 minutes he told me that he was sorry but he didn't have time to have a girlfriend. I was upset and hung up the phone, but understood where he was coming from because he had school, a job, and football. Two days later I come to find out that he was dating a friend of mine.

6) Should men pay on every date?

Asked by: Chad K. from NYC


I think that it is a very nice gesture for a man to offer to pay, but I don't think men should pay on every date. I am more fond of the idea of taking turns, switching who pays every date. In the past when women didn't work it made sense that men paid simply because women didn't have the means to do so. Today, there is no reason why a woman can't pay for dinner or a movie every now and then. Salaries between men and women aren't quite equal, but they are damn close. I almost see it as taking advantage when a woman doesn't pay for anything.

7) What's the one thing you wish guys did more?

Asked by: Mark W. from Los Angeles, CA


What a lot of men don't understand is that the little things mean more than you going out and buying us jewelry. When I say "little things" I mean calling just to say that you love her, kissing her on the forehead, holding hands in public, scraping the ice/snow off of her windshield when you leave before her in the morning, cuddling on the couch, hugging her a little longer than normal, telling her she is beautiful, etc. These are things that some men never do, and a lot of times these are things that fade as a relationship progresses. Not only will she feel special and loved, but you will most likely have sex more often.
