There are rules...

Being a single woman now I find that there are rules that apply. First let me say that it's expensive being single. And since I used to be married I figure I am a capable of explaining the difference in what you spend. One. The amount of money spent in hair removal. I know that this may seem like a funny subject, but it's one that deserves some attention. Let me start off by saying that I am a woman who waxes. Everything. So the times that there is ever a razor in my shower is for touch ups in between the time that I don't have the time to go see my favorite waxer. And that shit ain't cheap. So for the women who actually shave they probably go through a good portion of money in razors and shaving cream. Not to mention the amount of time and attention paid to shaving. So as a married woman you can pretty much decide when you're going to shave. Like when you feel like wearing a tank top, or shorts and most importantly you know when you're going to "put out". There usually aren't any surprises about who is going to show up at your doorstep. Now as a single woman. You have to constantly be on the top of your game. Single woman usually go out with no ideas about what's going to happen that night. So you have to make sure that any surface of your body is in the right condition to be exposed.

Now the hair that is on our head. As a married woman I feel that I really had no reason to keep up with my highlights every 4 weeks or do my hair everyday that we went out in public. Being that I was already married & since my hair was kinda my thing for awhile I didn't feel the need to grab some random guys attention. I know some of you are thinking, really hair? You're hair was your thing? Most of you know I have naturally curly hair & I've always been a risk taker with my hair & I keep it healthy. So yes my hair is my thing. Don't ask any questions. Besides hair is one of those things that does grab guys attention. I'm sure that it has something to do with guys imagine pulling it or running their fingers through it. So anyway as a single woman, you have to make sure your hair is always in the right place. You really can't go out without doing it. For me that means either a shit ton of hair spray or an hour spent running a flat iron through it. If you have any sort of color put into your hair that means getting your roots done every 4-6 weeks. And that's at least 80-100 bucks a time. I used to get my hair colored but now I just don't have the time. I'm not the type who likes to make appointments. I just want to go in & get it done.

There's clothes, shoes, accessories, lip gloss, gym memberships, alcohol, nails & pedicures, cute little somethings & plastic surgery(lol).

So with ALL that being said the first rule is: Free food is free food. Now whether this is food coming from dinner with your parents, relatives or on a date. Oh we can feed ourselves no doubt, but all women like to be seen, so going out as oppose to staying in is a lot more ego boosting. So if we agree to go out on a dinner date with you don't always assume it's because we're into you. It could be because we're just tired of cooking for ourselves. Now if we go more than once it's probably because we do enjoy your company & its free food. Now I really don't mean to sound like a bitch by all this, but it's the truth. And it doesn't even go for single women or single people in general. Ask anyone to breakfast, lunch or dinner and tell them you'll pay & you can bet that they'll likely say yes. It's the FREE FOOD rule. We single women though will drop any plans or prior engagements to jump on the free food bandwagon.

I wish I could go into greater detail about this whole free food thing, but it's pretty cut & dry. Women as a gender are pretty damn expensive. And it's 75% looking good for guys, 15% looking good just to make ourselves feel good about ourselves and it's 10% looking good to make other girls jealous as hell. We all relish in the fact especially that when we run into a girl we disliked in the past & looking damn better than she does now.

More rules to come. It doesn't stop there.
