19 Sure-Fire Ways To Know You're A Woman

1. You're a Bitch

2. When asked "Is something bothering you?" reply "NO" then get pissed off when you are believed

3. Become attracted to someone because he is outgoing and loves parties, start dating him and immediately expect him to stop this behavior

4. Always take an hour longer than promised to prepare for the evening

5. Always hide very important events in very unimportant terms so you can have something to be pissed about when your boyfriend declines because he has pressing business, i.e. You say "It's no big deal, but I was wondering if you would like to visit my parents with me if you are not busy this weekend." when you mean "It means a great deal to me for you to see my family with me this weekend whether or not it is possible!"

6. Whine

7. If you are trying to sleep, it's because you're exhausted from your almost super-human level of daily achievement; if he is trying to sleep, it's because he is lazy

8. No matter what the activity, he doesn't do it as well as a past boyfriend

9. If he pays attention to you, he is smothering you

10. If he gives you space, he is ignoring you

11. Complain

12. Hate any bar that he likes

13. Demand to be treated as an equal in everything ........ except when paying for meals, airplane tickets, concerts, beers, clothes, etc .......... these are required gifts proving his love

14. Declare PMS at any given time. If he is knowledgeable about your cycle, tell him you're irregular from all of the stress in your life (also, see number 7)

15. Remember that ANY woman who so much as looks at your boyfriend must be labeled a WHORE and your network of friends must be informed immediately to spread this around as quickly as possible

16. Make his life miserable by making him feel guilty about doing anything other than catering to your needs

17. Break into tears for no apparent reason, then use number 2

18. Ask for help in some endeavor then become livid when it is given

19. Insert yourself into your boyfriend's group of friends, break up with him, then make sure you are present at every gathering for the next month just to rub it in.
