Girlie Stuff We Couldn’t Have Gotten Through Without Guys
We know August is all about the celebration of girls and friends in honor of our National Girlfriend Awards, so we’d like to confess to some really chicky stuff that we’ve done in our lives. And while we are independent, strong women, there are some things that we just couldn’t have done without (gulp…) guys. So, even though we’re a little critical of the males in our lives sometimes, thank you for killing bugs, calming our nerves about unwanted critters and carrying us over puddles.
“I came out of my room in the morning while my BF was still asleep and didn’t have to be up for a few hours. When I spotted a big roach in the kitchen, I was too afraid to smush it and too nice to wake my sleeping man, so I put an upside-down bowl on top of it, piled a bunch library of books on top of that, and finished my mountain with a Post-it note reading, ‘Please kill this when you wake up.’ But hey, he did!”
“I called my dad every time there was a mouse in my apartment. In my old place in the winter, that happened frequently. I would scream and jump around while he’d talk me through getting the thing out of my apartment. So happy I moved.”
“I had my guy friend carry me over a puddle so my shoes wouldn’t get wet.”
“My boyfriend and I were at my lakehouse this past weekend and decided to take my most prized possession out for a spin…my jetski. I’d like to say I’m not a girlie girl, but spiders really creep me out. I had made him wipe down the jetski before I got on so that there were no spiders or cobwebs on it. Finally, I started revving the engine when I felt a tickle on my leg and looked down to see a giant spider dangling from it. I started screaming, squirming and yelling at my boyfriend to get it off of my leg, and I almost fell off the jetski. Luckily, I threw that spider off, but then I noticed another one on the dashboard. I screamed and stood up, almost throwing my boyfriend and I off the jetski…again. Finally he got it, and I was able to whiz around at high speeds and prove that my moment of girliness was short-lived.”
“I am terrified of anything creepy-crawly, namely bugs and spiders. I have called my boyfriend (who lives in another state, mind you) late-night to alert him of the following things: a piece of fuzz that I was sure was a bed bug, a spiderweb dangling from my ceiling (he told me to call the FBI for that one), the mysterious small ant-like things in my kitchen (I swear they’re mutants)…. He listens to me complain, whine, cry (with the bed bug-esque fuzz, yes, I did get hysterical for a few seconds) even though he can literally do nothing to help.”
GIRL TALK TIME: What really girlie things would you like to confess to? What chivalrous things has a man done for you when you’re acting like a complete chick?

Post a Commentim terribly afraid of spiders.. like.. really. I freeze (after i scream) and i get cold sweats and my heart races at a millions times faster than its supposed to. I would NEVER, EVER kill it ( i have a fear they’re going to attack me!) luckily my husband isnt afraid of anything so when i squeal and point and jump up+down he leaps into action.. he has to show me hes killed the thing.. but from as far away as possible… and please dont flush it down the toilet… im convinced they will crawl up and attack my bum!!
Roles seemed to be reversed in my household
Spiders are really the only thing that scares me..before we moved we kept finding lots of spiders in my house…guess which room..MINE! ughh…i found one crawling on me one night and called my boyfriend and he talked to me even though had to go to work the next day until i forgot about it enough to go to slepp.
deep
I think that we as people can do a whole lot Simply Put men are needed to ensure there is an even balance in life
Dealing with snakes and lizards and fixing the car…love my man for taking care of those things for me.
lol
I’m pretty good with most everything on my own, but I need my husband for anything big bug or car related.
I hate spiders and snakes but other than that Love
My boyfriend is always there for me when I freak out, even if he just laughs … I remember I saw a bug the other day, and he just “causally” took care of it … Yeah right inside I bet he was freaking out, because the bug looked like it was infused with steroids!
fixing a flat tire and killing spiders are boy jobs. Nothing could make me happier then a boy who can fix things when they break
My husband is there for me as I am for him. Through thick and thin, we stick together. However, I’m a sissy when it comes to snakes and for the life of me I can’t stop screaming loud enough to take care of the problem myself!
Guys rule
I kill spiders for my hubby…hahaha!
I love the story…I don’t like bugs either the make my skin crawl.
i hate spiders or any kind of bugs.
im usually able to do everything myself, but one time i stumbled upon a spider as big as my hand. there was NO way i was going near that thing! im glad my boy was there to help!
Bugs? Snakes? Washing machine breaks? No problem! Carrying heavy things, furniture etc. Then a man. I am a girl through and through. But a very independent one.
I am completely afraid to swim in Lakes, Creeks and the Ocean. My BF was so sweet when we went to FLA in Oct. of 2006 for my birthday. He waded way out into the Ocean(even though the water was freezing!) for me just to gather the good shells that were out there. I kept every single one and love him dearly for that.
unfortunatly since womens lib, we can and should do everything if needed. I’d perfer it the other way, but come on girls we can do anything better.
