10 things women can do better than men



10 Things Women Can Do Better Than Men

 
Women are better smellers than men.
Studies show that women are more accurate at pinpointing a certain smell compared to men, such as: citrus, vanilla, cinnamon and coffee smells.This could be due to more women coming in contacts with these ingredients in the kitchen as opposed to men. 




Women in general live longer than men: 
During many studies it has been proven that women live ~five to ten years longer than men. There are many reasons for this, such as biological factors: studies have shown that men are more likely to engage in risky behavior due to high levels of testosterone that can be life threatening which increases the death rate of the male populous. 




Women are actually tougher than men.
Many studies have shown that biologically women are tougher than men. "Scientists now know that female hormones protect women from heart disease and they believe that the reasons for women's biological resilience have to do with the way women have evolved to play their reproductive roles. It's about gene survival. The mother needs to survive longest to care for her young until they are able to fend for themselves whereas the men are expendable earlier - having done their bit!"



Women are better drivers than men.
As many of you have probably heard the "women are bad drivers" joke, it's nice to know that it's been proven false. "Carnegie Mellon University researchers found after analyzing a lot of traffic data in 2007 that men are 77% more likely to die in a car accident than women, keeping the miles driven constant."  



Women can remember appearances better than men.
Yes, we like to keep tabs on everyone around us. "Terrence Horgan, research fellow in psychology at Ohio State University, and her co-researchers found in a study that women are more accurate in describing appearances after seeing people once. The study was published in the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin."



Women perform better than men in timed tests.
Let's just say that time is money, and the women can hit the jackpot faster than men. "In a study by Vanderbilt University researchers in 2006, they found that women on average score better in timed intelligence tests than men. This study, published in the May-June issue of the journal Intelligence, didn’t find much difference in un-timed tests, which meant women have a quicker mind."



Women can communicate better than men.
"This is now scientifically proven and acknowledged. Louann Brizendine, neuro-pyschiatrist at the University of California at San Francisco, found in a study that women can process 20000 words a day compared to men’s 7000 words (Louann Brizendine,The Female Brain, Morgan Road Books). This difference, as per Brizendine’s study, is more biological than social, which starts as early as the fetal stage" 



Women can cope with stress better than men.
"A study at the University of California, Los Angeles, published in the July 2000 issue of Psychological Review, found some biological and behavioral differences in the ways men and women cope with stress. It found that women tend to seek contact with others and social support when they are under stress, which is a psychologically much better way of coping with stress than the “fight-or-flight” approach of men."



Women can have multiple orgasms: 
Um...not much explanation is necessary, it's easy to say that women don't need to 'reload' before another orgasm...  



Get aroused in public without displaying the evidence:  
Well, in general women don't have to cover their genitals from showing the evidence of an arousal either by crossing their legs or using on hand materials like their male counterparts.

Funny hobo/homeless signs

I was browsing the web and came across these amazingly stupid signs that hobo's use to extort money for civilians.

Warning, these signs have been obtained from the internet, I am in no way, shape or form saying that they are mine. They have been collected from various sources.



Which one is your favorite?

Why shouldn't you try to smuggle a dead body on a plane?

Question: Why shouldn't you try to smuggle a dead body on a plane?
Answer: You'll get caught. Just ask the two women who recently tried it, failed, and got arrested. No jokes.

Two women in England tried to smuggle their 91-year-old relative Curt Willi Jarant's dead body on a plane by putting him on a wheel-chair and adorning him with sunglasses making it look like he was asleep while trying to smuggle his body to Germany.

Curt Willi Jarant

They were caught by airport officials who who suspected the duo, aged 41 and 66 of being suspicious. The incident took place on Saturday April 3, 2010 at Liverpool's John Lennon Airport. It is believed that the two women hired a taxi to bring the deceased man from Oldham, Greater Manchester, which is a ~35 mile distance from the airport. The cause of the death is still unknown.

The police are still investigating the case and you may be wondering what happened to the two women. Well, following their arrest for failing to give notification of death, they were bailed from jail and are looking forward to a hearing on June 1, 2010.

What did the pair have to say for themselves? "We're innocent. Willi was asleep when we arrived, he must have died at the airport." The doctor that was called in to confirm the deceased reported that the man probably died the day before.


Were they trying to keep some change in their pockets because the repatriation fees are £3000, did they really not know he was dead, or was this a bigger, more heinous crime?

Coincidence? Maybe. Murder? Maybe. Stupid? definitely.

When I read the headlines, I was shocked. This is a case right out of the movie Weekend at Bernie's, which came out in 1989.

Plot: When two bumbling businessmen, Larry Wilson (Andrew McCarthy) and Richard Parker (Jonathan Silverman), alert their boss, Bernie Lomax (Terry Kiser), to an expensive discrepancy in the company books, he invites them to his home on the beach with the intent to have them murdered. However when they discover that their boss has been murdered prior to their arrival, they attempt to convince people that he is still alive to avoid suspicion for his death, leading to all kinds of wacky mishaps. - Iotis Erlewine, All Movie Guide

How to make a folder for chapters on wattpad?

Hi guys, I have been getting lots of emails and messages on my wattpad account from people asking me how to make chapters on wattpad.

To make chapters on wattpad you have to make a story group.

Step One: Make sure you have at least one chapter for the story you need to create a folder to hold your chapters for.

Step Two: At the top of the wattpad page, on the very right hand side it should say something like "Hi [Your Username]". Hover over those words and it should open some links. Click the second last link which is called, "Your Story Groups."

Step Three: Once the page opens, there should be a link called, "Create New Story Group."

Step Four: From the Available section, click on the Story you want to create chapters for.

Step Five: In the middle there should be a << sign. Click that and the First Chapter should now be transferred to the left side of the chart.

Step Six: Give the Story a Title and hit save.


In the future, whenever you upload a new chapter you can add it to the story group you created on the page where you are given the option to name your story and add tags to it.

Spiderman ft. Power-Rangers robot & Batman's batmobile...ahem I mean Spider Machine GP7

While the world is very familiar with the whole Spiderman series/movies, what many of the western world doesn't know is that their beloved underwear adorned superhero has a Japanese counter-part, who is very lacking in funds and giving his Spiderman namesake a very tacky image.

While I was watching some random youtube videos, I came across this amazing, refreshing, new twist to the whole spiderman series--in Japanese. It's downright hilarious!

  • There's a speedy 'spidermobile' known as the 'spider machine GP7' that presents itself as a cheap knockoff of the batmobile.

  • There's a wristband device thingy which is voice activated and sends thick rope out of Spiderman's wrists

  • A toy trucks that fall off of bridges in a lame attempt to re-create an accident 

  • An odd looking green stone monster with very bad driving skills who looks like he walked out of one of the Power-Ranger series (of course, I can't pinpoint exactly which one of the series he might have been snatched from, the Linghtspeed Rescue, Time Force, Wild Force, Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder or Mystic Force...there's obviously more series, but at the moment I can't recall all of them)

  • awesome Spiderman theme song. I have to give the guy who randomly says 'Spiderman' in a breathless wisher some props--the song kinda reminded me of Teen Titans...I dunno, let me know what you guys think
  • And the cherry on top of all this? The 'Spider-walk of Suspicion' as I like to call whatever the Japenese Spiderman did during the 1:52 min. time mark in the video.

  • oh and plastic nets? Where did I see plastic nets?


All in all, it should be a big success--for an entry in America's Funniest Home Video's, too bad it's Japanese...

Don't believe me? Well, I've attached the video below, and for those who want to watch the main attraction of the video, you can watch till around 3 Min. and still get all the juiciest bits, the video is attached below.

Hymenoplasty: You're a virgin...AGAIN!

So you want to be a virgin...again? Sorry guys, you need not apply, because it's exclusively for girls, but I guess you reap the rewards.

Hymenoplasty is a vaginal surgery that's quickly becoming very popular. It's basically the restoration of the hymen: the thin protective tissue that is way back in the vagina (well, actually it's not part of the vagina at all as many people believe, but the vulva, which is an external genital area behind the vagina), it tears during your first intercourse, or in some cases during strenuous exercise such as sports and causes some internal bleeding and discomfort.

What is hymenoplasty? Well, in lamens terms, the surgery restores a torn hymen (Hymen Repair Surgery) by restitching it using dissolve-able stitches. The Small blood vessels in the surrounding area are thus connected to the stitching and cause some bleeding upon tear to simulate the 'popping of the cherry'.


You are not hospitalized as a result of this surgery and can return to daily routine in a few hours after the surgery. The usual cost for the surgery is about $1800-5000.

Many women get the surgery done due to cultural reasons: The family might object to loss of honor (the girls virginity is used as a sign of purity). Also, many women who are engaged want to get the surgery done prior to their marriage to make the occasion special and simulate the 'first-time' experience.

There is an increasing number of women who are getting the surgery done as a valentines day present for their boyfriend, or as an anniversary gift for their husband. Where before the statistics for hymenoplasty was as low as ~10/month, it is close to ~200/month now.

What do you guys think of this rather bizarre surgery, but keep in mind that nose jobs, implants, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and botox are also some surgeries the women and men undergo to look beautiful and in essence increase their desirability.

So compared to the cosmetic surgeries above, how much worse/normal is hymenoplasty?

My opinion? Well, I really don't care. People who get it done have their own issues and reasons behind it. If they so choose to undergo something like this, that's their problem and since it doesn't effect me in any way, shape or form, it's not my business.

As far as trying the surgery myself, I don't think it's something I would ever be able to do. Not my piece of pie...this cosmetic surgery business. 

In so many of the books I read (Historical Romance Novels), virginity is such a big issue. If a female is not a virgin upon marriage, the husband can get an annulment as it's seen as a breach of the marriage contract. Also, if the girl is not a virgin upon marriage, the husband will forever be suspicious if there is ever a child due to the fact that there were no condoms in those times to protect from pregnancies. So you can't tell whose child you might be fathering. That put virginity on a big pedestal and caused it to be a wanted commodity if marriage was involved because it basically meant for the guy that the kids will be his own.

Anywho, let me know what you guys think of it :]

I have small breasts? Noo...really mom?

Have you ever had an uncomfortable conversation with you mom where she gives her opinion regarding your attributes...or lack thereof? More than likely you have, especially if you are a girl.

If its not about being fat and getting you to eat less, then its about being too skinny and begging you to eat more--which in my case has become the bane of my existence. No dinner goes by with my family that I am not reminded of how I need to gain weight. It's a sort of joke with my family, and the main topic of many conversations, their favorite is the "Would you look at that, she finished her plate. She'll survive for the coming week yet." or blowing at me and pointing in the distance saying "Oh look, there she goes!"


Of course, you guys probably have your own little issues, but what I was getting at today was the issue of big breasts, or maybe small breasts...

I would think it logical to say that, if a girl is petite (small in height), she would therefore be small everywhere, which would of course include her breasts. But apparently my mother has problems with that logic. She likes to remind me time and time again that I am lacking in the "ahem...chest area".

Well thank you mother for letting me know, I was very ignorant of it prior to your warning, seeing as I am blind and don't know how to use the mirror in my washroom...

Anywho, suffice it to say that in no uncertain terms, my mother told me to get bigger boobs. This comment more than anything cracked me up, which she took to heart and now thinks I don't mean to rectify the offense of my small breasts, so she went out and got some push-up bras for me. 

When I refused to wear them, she became more stressed. 

  I can just see  my mom having one of these expos regarding small breasts

Now her main focus has shifted from my breasts to my weight again, as she likes to say "Once you get a little meat on you, it'll hopefully fill the right places!" 

Sure mother, whatever you say...

As to what I think of my body, i'm pretty happy with it. Yes, i'm small in height compared to my brothers who are 6 feet, me being only 5'3 or so, and I have small breasts, I am not too worried about it in the way my mom is. 

In a way it's helpful because I am what you might term a 'tomboy', and thinking about getting bigger breasts only brings one thought to my mind "Hmmm...wouldn't they be heavier?" 

As you might be wondering what this all has to do with the wattpad-catalog, I finally decided to write the next chapter of Survival Guide, and for those who read the story, you will know that I fashioned Aliza's body to be much like mine--hence her being able to fit into an all boys school without the hinderence of big breasts to cover and in the coming chapter, as Shakespeare might put it, there's, "Much Ado About Breasts"


So Hopefully you guys look forward to the sizzling chapter as Lucien is caught kissing Aliza *SHOCK* and Aliza discussing her breasts. 

Oh, and below is this funny little video I found on the web, it basically shows you how to get bigger breasts, but my  main problem is the make-up, god knows I can't abide that stuff on my face, let alone try it on my breasts. But it's entertaining to watch nonetheless.

Short Love Story

Hi guys, I was browsing the web and came upon this really cute short love story, it's a folk legend and I thought since it was nice and short, why not post it here.
___________________________________________________________________________

There is a folk saying, “Three people with five eyes which refers to three people looking at something and still failing to see its defects.

Another expression is “The next day is too late to discuss long and short legs!”, which means once a deal is made it is too late to reconsider its advantages or disadvantages. Sometimes the two expressions are linked together. But they both mean the same thing: you should look over the merchandise before buying it, because the next day is too late to complain about defects.

There once lived a matchmaker named Xiàng Qīn famed for being able to find a mate for absolutely anybody. She was approached by a boy with one leg shorter than the other who sought a beautiful girl for his bride. And she was approached by a girl blind in one eye who sought a handsome boy as a husband. And she decided to match them to each other.

When the time came for their formal meeting Xiàng Qīn told the boy to stand casually in the doorway and rest his short foot on the high threshold so the girl wouldn’t see the two legs together.

And she told the girl to stand in the doorway on the other side of the room and keep half of her face hidden behind the door frame, merely peeking around, so as to convey the impression that she was very demure and shy. Both of them did this, and therefore neither got a full view of the other. And both of them loved what they saw. So they agreed to the marriage.

“You must be absolutely certain,” said the matchmaker. “Once you are married, I don’t want any of this business about “three people with only five eyes,” as the old expression has it, or any misgiving about the “long and short” of anything. The young man and the young woman both thought these were merely hackneyed turns of phrase and remained enthusiastic about the marriage.

After they were married, the groom lifted the bride’s veil and was shocked to see her blind eye. But she wasn't blind in both eyes, and with her veil up she immediately spotted his short leg. And that is how they discovered that the sneaky matchmaker meant these phrases quite literally, for of the three of them, the bride was missing an eye, so truly there were three people with five eyes; And the groom truly had a long leg and a short one. But by then, of course, it was too late to do anything about it.

Drama Addiction, Book Addiction...Obsessions for the Teenage Soul

I used to have this accessive drama disorder, for those of you who are currently suffering it, you know what i'm talking about. You see a drama on the web, you want to watch it regardless of the fact that you have no idea what the people are saying [thank god for subtitles].

Oh, sorry, I forgot to mention that the drama's i'm talking about are the asian kind (Korean dramas, Japanese Dramas, Taiwanese dramas, Thai dramas, Filipino dramas, Chinese dramas etc...). Currently I have not been watching too many because it seems like there are no exceptional dramas coming out at the moment, or it just me having a relapse and getting bored too quickly? The only drama that seemed to have gripped me in the past year has been:

You're Beautiful [K-drama].
 

Anywho, so my addiction moved on to historical romance novels, which I have been devouring like a maniac because I have more than likely read 300+ books in the last year (I am really not exaggerating, during the summer, I read about two novels in one day--yes, I ate, slept, dreamed novels. And Hence, I ended up getting into writing stories of my own, albeit not historical novels, although Holier Than Thou is a bit on the historical side (yes, I know, I just couldn't resist).
Now, I wonder what gets you guys into something and that you end up getting obsessed as I do? What made you decide to write a story, or whatever your addiction is.

The Blog Messed Up

Ok, I am going to strangle someone!!! Arg, what the heck is wrong with the blog header? It was just fine a couple of minutes ago, for those who are seeing it right now, there is a blank space at the top of  the page where the header should be, so i'm going to try and fix that.
Edit: OK, so I spent some hours fixing the missing links, and now the header should appear, if you guys are still having some difficulty viewing it, leave me a msg. Just mention that it's something to do with the layout.

Also, there's the whole thing with the genre's that I have to go through. They have to be tweaked a bit so they look like the 'Romance' genre, but i'll do that in a bit.

Anywho, I am going to give some good news as well, not all is going haywire, just most of my life. I'm writing the next chapter for "All Boys School Survival Guide for Girls" right now, so hopefully you guys will be able to read it by the end of the day :]

I'm also going to try and make it a bit longer, but don't hold me to that promise.

New Blog

Ok, I swear this is going to be the last one. It takes me a lot of time to make the blogs, but I usually grow tired of them really quickly.

I got this blog because its so simple and clean. The last one had too much going on. Too many scrolling thingys, too many button to click and I didn't like the salmon colour in the background too much, so the white for this blog is just simple and clean.

It's going to take me some time to get everything going, but bear with me guys and hopefully i'll get everything running asap. 







I just posted the Romance section and I have to say, i'm already liking to more then the last one because it's a little more edited and the titles are more enhanced. Let me know if you guys like this blog or the last one, suggestions and comments are always welcome.
