This weekend Nate decided he wanted to go for a more grown up look. He planned to rid himself of his luscious curly locks and outfit himself in new ties, dress shirts, and dress pants.

If I said I could change my look in a day, my Pinocchio nose would be about as long as the impending snow storm we are about to be hit with. For me to get a new haircut AND go shopping for a new wardrobe in a single day would be impossible. Haircut is doable in a day, but anytime I get my haircut all I want to do is look at it and style it and toss it about. Buying clothes is a totally different thing. I am a miserable person to shop with. I am so indecisive and could stand for minutes in front of a mirror in the dressing room deciding if I wanted something. The best shopping I have ever done was in California when United lost my suitcase. I was given a timeline of 5 minutes to go in, grab some new panties, and get out. Minus getting doused with Axe by an immature 26 year old man, it was a good experience. (Note: said 26 year old man running around Target spraying Axe all over impressionable young ladies is same man wanting to be more grown up. How fitting.)

| Goodbye hair :( |
I didn’t think he could do it in a day, however, I was quickly proved wrong. In just over an hour Nathan had a new hair cut and new wardrobe. The Hair Cut Experience was something I am not sure we will go through as a couple again. He let me at his head with the buzzer. I attempted a sassy fade “do” but very soon after I started I heard “Jesus Kace, just throw on the 3 and just buzz it.” I had never seen Nate with his hair that short but for some reason, I was addicted to it. I think I told him over 78 times that day that he looked so sexy. He might have been ginger creeped (shout out: ANNIEH) a bit, but when I see something I like, I gotta have it.

Hair: check. Now, onto his wardrobe. For this guy it was a one-stop stop, and an impressive one at that. I picked out a pair of slippers and a pack of socks in the time he picked out:
· 4 Ralph Lauren button down shirts in colors to brighten up the wardrobe
· 3 pairs of dress slacks
· 4 ties (that I can’t wait to get my hands on)
· 6 white undershirts
· 6 pairs of dress socks
· 4 pairs of white socks
This whole day got me thinking of how easy guys have it compared to girls. So my ladies and I put together a list of all the reasons guys have it easier than girls. (Shout-outs to my girl KSwitch from the Willo, my homeslice EMac from the Sunshine State, and my lady JackEL from Woostah).
Now, for your entertainment pleasure, I give to you, The List.
- They do not have to stand an extra 3-4 inches off the ground for 8 hours a day
- They can choose any seat on the metro, rather than having to avoid an open skirt shot, available to the whole train
- They can live without spending an extra 10-15 dollars on unfortunate female products every month...not to mention being out of commission for 12 weeks a year
- They can throw a tee-shirt on or go shirtless and hit the field. Girls can't... we have to tuck the tatas in extra tight just so they don't smack you in the face when you're running.
- They can pee anywhere
- No one questions their sexuality for being good at sports
- No one questions their job loyalty when they decide to start a family
- They can pick their boogers whenever and wherever and leave them anywhere.
- They can get away with sitting on their hand and when asked why respond with, “Sometimes I like to feel my farts and then spread their love.”
- They can sit in the living room and have a farting contest with one another male. (note: if the girl chimes in with a fart, it is disgusting and uncalled for)
- They can break up with a girl and move on getting it on while the girl is labeled as single and promiscuous
- They can get away with announcing to the room that they are on their second “dump” of the day
- Their work attire is typically shirts and slacks. Girls can wear pants/skirts/dresses/heels/flats/boots/cardigans/blouses/sweaters/tees etc etc.
- They don’t have to deal with the glass ceiling and they get mo’ $$ for the same job
- They don’t have to get up and fuss about their hair and makeup (minus the males from the Jersey Shore)
- They don’t feel the same pressures girls do to keep a nice figure or diet
- They can participate in a burping contest.
- Few men like ugly women, but many women will love an ugly man.
- They can shave off their hair to hide premature balding
- They don’t need to carry around a bag of everyday goodies (but imagine how soft their hands would be and how un-chapped their lips would be if they did)
- Wrinkles are a non-issue.
- They don’t have to deal with the whole “Oh, you got your jeans at Walmart” issue
- Men may get ugly clothes for Christmas, but rarely get granny panties of size 6x that Granny found in the clearance bin
- Grey hair on a guy = Sexy silver fox. No such term for a woman. (Cougar does not apply because she is a done-up woman)
- They can wear sneakers everywhere. And they now make “dress” sneakers for men.
- They are just faster than girls are no matter what.
- They can sleep around and not be called dirty names – just makes them better kissers.
- They can get up for seconds and finish their meals without guilt
- They can be smelly and be proud of it “YEAH B.O. TODAY YEAH!”
- Their manicures are free – bite them nails off, boys!
- They can get their haircut in the comfort of their own bathroom FO FREE
Ladies! What else can we add to this list?!
hey, life is good :)








Shout out to the immature AXE sprayer. He's a jerk, I wouldn't hang out with him if I were you.
ReplyDelete-They don't have to shave the legs
- Stay at home dad vs. stay at home mom.
- Boys: "Carbs, what are carbs?"
- They don't have to squat over the toilet and worry about dropletts, just point and shoot, point and shoot
Oh Kacey, So Brad and I later read this list together. Mind you, he was committing 3 of the crimes WHILE reading the list. Farting. Picking nose. Biting nails....Ooops! There came a burp too!!
ReplyDeleteHe thought it was hilarious.
...
Brad says: Ï'll tell you why girls have it tougher than boys. It's because when a guy reads another girls blog and say 'she's awesome', his girlfriend gets imeediately jealous and says...watch-it-mister!. Jealously, that's one. Secondly...you ladies do not have to sit at your desk for an extra 10 minutes whenever the nrb's come to visit! " I personally like to put it up in the boxer strap...its hides it..and it feels great."
....Kristin
:-) Thanks for writing chica, keep it up!
1. Pee standing up trumps everything. Not to mention no long bathroom lines
ReplyDelete2. Minimal hair removal required
3. They can eat as much and as often as they want without getting judged. and metabolize it.
4. Boxers are so cheap! they look alike no matter what the brand, and no pressure to ever wear some itchy overpriced piece of lace. $40 bras for us, $2 white tee for them.
(but to be fair, they probably spend that extra dough on dranks for us)
