Hey, I'd like to revive this controversial thread, because of its controversial goodness. Remember that everything said here is in good fun. Here are the lists as they stood before, plus my addition:
Girls tend to be more fashion-savvy than your average guy. I don't know if it's because they tend to shop (and enjoy shopping) more than us dudes, or if they're under more pressure to look presentable, but from what I've seen, it doesn't seem to take as much effort for a girl to dress well. It's like they have an innate sense of color theory. Girls: Moody, Gossiping, Diabolical Aliens, Shop-mongers, Weaklings, Cheaters, High Maintenance, Evil Seductresses, Smell Sweet, Great Conversationalists, Good-looking (x2), Beautiful, Squeezably Soft, Complainers, Too much make-up, Fixaters, Sensitive, Sticks in Butt, Physically Affectionate, Beautiful Smiles, Innate Fashion Sensibility Guys: Pigs, Active in sports, Dense, Oblivious, Car-Obsessed, Manipulative, Insensitive, Perverts, Neglectful, Sweet, Protective in a good way, Smell Nice, Humorous, Jerks, Good Listeners, Egotistical, Couch potatoes, Violent, Immature, Unemotional, Independent |

Yeah, controversy good, hehe.
I think you're right both times. Most of my girlfriends love to shop. We shop when we're bored, when we're not, when we need more clothes (don't we always?) and those rare occasions when we don't (...wait, scratch that). As for feeling pressured to look presentable, wouldn't both guys and girls feel it? To us though, there's a lot more involved in looking nice and that is in no way a good thing. For those who know me, know I take a pretty long time to get ready in the morning, doing... I don't even know what. It still takes up time. As girls, we feel it's not fair you guys can throw on a clean shirt and pants in two seconds and look nice. It seems so much simpler. Any of the female members out there can back me up if they'd like.

Girls have to be more conscious about their appearance than guys because males are peripheral animals. We like eye-candy
Guys can look good in just a plain ole' white T-shirt and denims because it fits us  Zzzz...zzzZ

Actually, I'm of the opinion that the human male simply has to adhere to lower standards. But what do I know? I'm just a mere noblesquirrel. *cracks open an acorn*

So, you're saying girls have to dress up just 'cause we know guys like it, Lucky?

Precisely. I know you are going to go ballistic shortly, but I think it's probably the truth. Would girls really find it necessary to, oh say, wear short skirts if there wasn't an opposite sex on this planet?
Before you insult someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you insult them, you will be a mile away and have their shoes.

Yep yep. Of course girls also like to dress up nicely just for the thrill of it. But when we get down to the basics, girls wear promiscuous attire to get the attention of us guys.
On a related note, I heard that some girls like wearing thongs not only because of the risque aspect, but because they don't have the annoying panty lines (?)  Zzzz...zzzZ

Perhaps, lucky, you are delving into this issue a bit too thoroughly?

Haha, don't worry. You're safe for now Chris. Can't seem to find my knife anyway...
I agree that certain girls dress for the sole purpose of attracting guys, which is fine as long as your self respect is not on the line. People with beautiful bodies should be allowed to show it off, just don't overstep it. Even if there weren't any guys on this earth (I shudder at the thought), girls wouldn't become complete slobs and wear sweats all the time (shuddering again). Oh, and Lucky... Yes. |

Thoroughly is good
 Personally I think thongs are overstepping a bit. They reveal too much; leaves nothing to the imagination  Ahh, here are some interesting facts I discovered some days back: 1) The avg. weight of women was 150 pounds. I swear that's what I read  Is that reasonable??2) Women cannot absorb as much heat as men, hence that's why they always feel cold. Zzzz...zzzZ

3) Women have a worse sense of direction, though that's a theory based on amounts of metal.

1) Depends on what you consider reasonable, I guess.
2) Naw, we always say we feel cold if we like the jacket the guy's wearing. 3) Is it that women have a worse sense of direction - or are they more able to admit when they're lost? Er... yeah... thongs... you know, flip-flops? Perfectly innocent pieces of rubber... no, that sounds wrong. |

Actually, I heard the same thing about women and direction. There's some correlation. Alia, you're right as well. Men don't like to admit defeat
 Mmm...piece of rubber  Zzzz...zzzZ

There was a theory based on data showing men were (in general) better at direction and had larger amounts of a certain, highly magnatic type of metal that men had better senses of direction because they had better onboard compasses. Though that's controversial as there is no nerve cells anywhere near the metal and thus no way to detect direction.
