"Girl talk” is code for a top secret discussion kept among ladies and ladies alone. But how much do we really keep from the men in our lives? Collegiettes, we’ve devised a list of a few subjects we girls keep on the DL. Because there are some things that men just don’t understand—never have; never will. Why waste the energy trying to explain?
You don’t tell him...
1. How long you actually took getting ready for that date.
Guys know that women tend to take a little longer to freshen up, but they may not quite know the extent of it.
“I never tell a guy how long it actually takes me to get ready for dates,” says Annie Blanks, a senior at Sewanee. “I like to make him think my hair just naturally fell into that perfect blowout.”
Ladies, if you’ve taken more than an hour to get beautified for your date, there’s no reason he needs to know about it. The fact that you took 120 minutes just to spiral curl your tresses is NBD to us ladies, but men would be shocked to find that out (in that amount of time, they could hit the gym, shower and scarf down three Big Macs. Charming, right?). Some things are better left unsaid.
2. The details of your, um, menstruation.
To put it plainly, your dude does not want to know the particulars of your time of the month.
“I never talk to men about my period,” says Briana Morgan, a recent graduate of Georgia College & State University. “Unless I need an excuse to get out of something.”
Call them crazy, but most guys don’t like discussing the idea of a woman shedding the lining of her uterus. Refraining from the details is definitely not a bad idea. Besides, you have much better things to talk about with your guy—like what you want him to get you for your next anniversary (is a $100 Forever 21 gift card aiming too high?).
3. How much you’ve stalked him on social media.
