Stumbled upon this on cracked and thought I'd post it here. I really like the articles and advice for socially awkward men so it's nice to see the ladies get one too. It's also pretty funny!

I'll pass on the girls night out, it is not really my thing.

Maybe one or two close girl friends who share some similar interests to myself and whom I can have fascinating or humourous conversations with or a lover would be nice. But I don't do the whole girl pack thing unfortunately.

I tried it once. I took them on a tour of the local museums. They would not go out with me again. Apparenlty they wanted to walk around town talking about make up and boys (I was a teenager at the time). Prior to that a pack tried to adopt me as a friend but they wanted me to bully people like they did. I declined their offer of friendship.

I decided back then that the girl pack was not for me.

I got as far as "how to navigate a girls' night out" and lost interest. My favourite method is to just avoid them like the plaque

In other term, this page is telling the socially awkward girl to transform into a typical social girl.

Which piratically isn't a bad advice because it's usually the only way to fit it, unless you find a group of weirdos to hang out with but this is rare.

Quote:

-Boys, and the sex you're having with them

-Boys, and the sex you wish you were having with them

-Double entendres

-The importance of owning at least one cowboy hat to let surrounding men know that you are looking to have sex and own a cowboy hat

-Television shows where bitchy vampires have sex with each other

Are girls really that limited? What age group is that?

Hm. Maybe the article is a bit tongue in cheek?

I would agree with the usefulness of double entendres and innuendo though, if you can get your head round the subtleties. The problem might be in knowing when it's appropriate, I guess.

I think Temple Grandin has written a book about social mores which is probably more useful than this article!

The make up tips are odd. Putting on a Halloween mask is less time consuming than piling all that make up on.
Don't get me wrong, I like a modest and subtle amount of make up but painting yourself a whole new face goes one step too far as far as I'm concerned.

*notices where said article came from and chuckles*
This list isn't to be taken seriously, I think it's meant to be satirical.

Yes, this list is meant to be satirical.

And yes-- after going out drinking with my sisters-in-law, my cousins-once-removed, and whatever you call your husband's aunt-- yes, a lot of women really are that goddamn shallow.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO HANG OUT WITH THESE WOMEN. It is a complete and total waste of time, as is trying to "make it" with a man you are likely to meet in a place frequented by these women.

It does serve one purpose-- causing you to truly appreciate the next Friday night, which you will be thrilled to your soul to spend at home with the cat and the brick of cheddar.
