What comes to your mind when you think of the term ‘ladylike’? Only the images of being modest, delicate, sophisticated, and clean come to mind. But the reality is, most women are rarely ‘ladylike’. Because of having that expectation, women do things that are as far from ‘ladylike’ as it comes.
What are those very ‘unladylike’ things that women do? Let’s go over 7 of those things right now that women will never admit to doing.
Women Bite Their Nails
Biting and picking at nail cuticles is a nervous habit that women have and it happens even more when they are stressed. However, it is not just unsanitary to do this as biting can open up wounds that leave them susceptible to infections, but it is bad for the jaw and teeth as well. It can be even worse for the stomach. Working with a counselor to help stop this bad habit can be a way to find healthy habits to replace it.
Not Washing Bras Often
Making the time to do laundry is not the issue. But there is no time to handwash delicate fabric which is what the bra is made of. The problem is that it takes a lot of time and energy to wash a bra since you can’t throw it into the laundry with the rest. But the problem with washing bras too often or not enough is that they degrade and don’t last long. If you don’t wash them enough, they become smelly and you will end up having to spend a lot of money replacing them often.
Not Washing Hair Daily
Women may want to appear that they wash their hair daily but that is not really the case. Some may only do it once a week. And the good news is that washing your hair daily is not recommended anyway. If you are using shampoo on a daily basis, it can ruin your sebum production in your scalp. You need to have a healthy oil balance in your hair so washing your hair every 2 to 3 days a week is ideal.
Farting
Your grandmother likely told you that she never once farted because women just don’t do that. However, she was not being truthful to you at all if that was the case. Because women fart just as much as men do which is from 10 to 20 times a day. In fact, passing gas is a sign that your gut is functioning the way it should.
Foods such as dairy and anything fibrous will cause excess gas to build-up. But if you are farting too much, then perhaps it is a sign to change up your diet and talk to your doctor about it.
Cyber-Stalking
Okay, here is the truth about cyber-stalking. It has a terrible label because cyber-stalking is not real stalking. Women are curious so they will look up Facebook pages of those who they know and like (more likely didn’t like) to see what they are up to. Maybe the better term for this is that women are nosey. However, this is not such a bad thing either. Sometimes it is a good idea to ‘stalk’ a page to see what type of person you are about to work for really is.
Flirting Is A Way To Get What They Want
Women know that men enjoy it when they flirt with them so, therefore, they will flirt with men so they get what they want. That is even the case if they don’t have any ‘crushes’ on them and even married women do this. If it means she will get faster service if she is going out for dinner or needing help from a mechanic, she will flirt. Therefore, this is a manipulation tactic and women can be manipulative.
Picking Noses
Kids are known to pick their noses but does that really end in childhood? No. In fact, both men and women pick their noses. But if you have to pick your nose, make sure that you have no open wounds on your fingers and sanitize your hands immediately. You could end up with terrible bacterial infections otherwise that can affect your skin, bloodstream, bones, joints, respiratory tract, and food poisoning!
Therefore, now that the cat is out of the bag, women are anything but ladylike. And they don’t want anyone to ever know this, but there is no shame in it either. It is what humans do.
