That most of us usually do everything together. What I mean is this, when a friend needs to go to the restroom in a restaurant or the mall, we'll go with them. Or if they try on clothes, even if it's a swimsuit or underware we are there and they ask for our opinion. But i've never seen guys do this. Isn't it weird?

We are innately more affectionate and communal and rely upon our sisters to satiate our needs.

Men also have similar needs, but they are met in different ways. The last thing a man needs is to be seen skipping to the bathroom with his buddy to powder his nose.

I think there is a certain age you outgrow trying on clothes with each other, but we do go to the restroom together at the clubs and restaurants, usually to talk about our dates. But we women have stalls and I hope everyone isn't going into the stalls, guys don't so they might feel weird looking around talking to their buddies when they are peeing.

I'm not like that at all. Most women are I think, but some of us aren't. I don't see anything wrong with it....women in our society aren't that threatened with being seen as needing security...men are the opposite. They need to be in charge...independent. Dumb but true, and it carries over into all parts of life...same reason men won't ask for directions, or read an owner's manual...lol.

It's part of our sisterhood unwritten rules. Everyone goes through them some point in their lives. The shopping part we will never out grow, but the restroom part you will later in life, unless something important is going on like a horrible double date!

I just got a funny email story about this:

The Stance

When you have to visit a public bathroom, you usually find a line of women, so you smile politely and take your place.

Once it's your turn, you check for feet under the stall doors. Every
stall is occupied.

Finally, a door opens and you dash in, nearly knocking down the woman leaving the stall.

You get in to find the door won't latch. It doesn't matter.

The dispenser for the modern "seat covers" (invented by someone's Mom,no doubt) is handy, but empty.

You would hang your purse on the door hook, if there were one, but there isn't - so you carefully but quickly drape it around your neck, (Mom would turn over in her grave if you put it on the FLOOR!), yank down your pants, and assume "The Stance."

In this position your thigh muscles begin to shake.
You'd love to sit down, but you certainly hadn't taken time to wipe the seat or lay toilet paper on it, so you hold "The Stance."

To take your mind off your trembling thighs, you reach for what you discover to be the empty toilet paper dispenser. In your mind, you can hear your mother's voice saying, "Honey, if you had tried to clean the seat, you would have KNOWN there was no toilet paper!"

Your thighs shake more.You remember the tiny tissue that you blew your nose on yesterday - the
one that's still in your purse. That would have to do. You crumple it in the puffiest way possible. It is still smaller than your thumbnail.

Someone pushes open your stall door because the latch doesn't work.

The door hits your purse, which is hanging around your neck in front of your chest, and you and your purse topple backward against the tank of the toilet.

"Occupied!" you scream, as you reach for the door, dropping your precious, tiny, crumpled tissue in a puddle on the floor, lose your footing altogether, and slide down directly onto the TOILET SEAT. It is wet of course.

You bolt up, knowing all too well that it's too late. Your bottom
has made contact with every imaginable germ and life form on the uncovered seat because YOU never laid down toilet paper - not that there was any, even if you had taken time to try.

You know that your mother would be utterly appalled if she knew,
because, you're certain; her bare bottom never touched a public toilet seat because, frankly, dear, "You just don't KNOW what kind of diseases you could get."

By this time, the automatic sensor on the back of the toilet is so
confused that it flushes, propelling a stream of water like a fire hose that somehow sucks everything down with such force that you grab onto the toilet paper dispenser for fear of being dragged in too.

At that point, you give up.

You're soaked by the spewing water and the wet toilet seat.

You're exhausted. You try to wipe with a gum wrapper you found in yourpocket and then slink out inconspicuously to the sinks.
You can't figure out how to operate the faucets with the automatic sensors, so you wipe your hands with spit and a dry paper towel and walk past the line of women, still waiting. You are no longer able to smile politely to them.

A kind soul at the very end of the line points out a piece of toilet
paper trailing from your shoe. (Where was that when you NEEDED it??)

You yank the paper from your shoe, plunk it the woman's hand and tell her warmly, "Here, you just might need this."

As you exit, you spot your hubby, who has long since entered, used and left the men's restroom. Annoyed, he asks, "What took you so long, and why is your purse hanging around your neck?"

This is dedicated to women everywhere who deal with a public restroom (rest??? you've got to be kidding!!).

It finally explains to the men what really does take us so long.

It also answers their other commonly asked question about why women go to the restroom in pairs.

It's so the other gal can hold the door, hang onto your purse and hand you Kleenex under the door

I tend to have an odd way of looking at other women. What I see is two things in girls - they need to have companions and they NEED to be told that they are good looking. Guys show insecurity in a completely different way, and moreover, they're better at being alone.

Not weird at all, all girls act/behave as a group' ; until the girl/s lose their vjins to a male, when she will desert her girl friends and seek the help opinion of her man.

no- we seek confidants and the bathroom is a good place to pow-wow thoughts you dont want others to hear. besides they have extra make-up and are like a mirror with eyes to tell you whats stuck where. I think behind every great woman-is a great group of friends.

i think that we as girls have always been told that girls do everything together like shopping and going to the restrooms together so when we get older we do everything just like they told us. it's society's fault to keep women feeling insecure about themselves

because guys prefer to do somethings alone. But we do quite a bit together the same way women do. just not all the time.
