A thread for the Ladies.

Social Forums Non-Philosophical Chat

Here ya go womenfolk.

You can paint your fingernails and talk about celebrity gossip in here.

You can share recipes, discuss things like how to make your hair shiny or how to maintain flat abs.

You can talk about shopping or tell stories about times that your man took you on a date.

You can discuss your menstrual cycles…hell, maybe if you all hang out in here enough you can get on the same cycle and concentrate your forces against misogynists everywhere.

If all the people who hate women could please refrain from hating them in this particular thread, that would be nice. It would be a good first step toward eventually, someday…way down the line…possibly getting laid.

No fighting.

If you guys have any ideas about stuff I could buy for my bathroom that would be awesome. I have soap and shampoo and towels and all that but it just seems kinda blah in there. I feel like I need more stuff. I dunno. Help me out ladies.

LoL get some rugs to match your shower curtain, and a decent light fixture, and if you don’t have anything on the back of your toilet, get on it.

I’m fond of bathroom readers, myself, so there’s a book entitled, “What’s Your Poo Telling You?” on the back of my toilet. Funny AND informative.

I would suggest that the most important thing to have in a bathroom is a bath. Without that, shampoo, towels and so on are mostly useless. You also need some means of conveying water to the bath, such as taps. Don’t try having a bath without water, it doesn’t work.

Women need Smears to start a thread for them. They need his guidance to choose suitable discussion material. Go figure. :smiley:

Phyllo, Who says it’s a need? Why can’t people just have what they want?

Maia, I have all the things listed in your post. I need some other stuff. You know how women always clutter the bathroom with all that stuff they have? I just need a bit more clutter. My place is a bit too efficient. I’m sure I need a hair dryer. Girls keep leaving early because they have to go home to use their hairdryers. If I got one, they could sleep until an hour before they have to work. Girls like to sleep late.

Blurry, I have a rug and shower curtain that match. On the back of the toilet there are q-tips and baby wipes for that extra fresh feeling after you poop you can use the baby wipes. The q-tips are for ears only. I don’t have any books in there, because I’ve sworn off reading. I prefer to play games on the phone, or post on ILP while I’m pooping.

Well, I’d advise against cluttering your bathroom up too much. I live alone and yet the countertop in my bathroom is so full of makeup and lotions for different parts of the body and hair care products and jewelry that you can barely see it through the clutter. I don’t mind most of the time, but once in awhile when I have company I get a little bit self-conscious about it. Of course I could clean it up before people come over, but then I’d just have to take it all out again, so fuck it. It looks a mess, though.

I like to keep it really clean. Like you could eat off my toilet.

SORRY, I couldn’t resist. :smiley:

How do you like living alone? Have you done it for long? I will be getting my own place in March and I can’t wait. I suspect it will be 90% bliss. :slight_smile:

11

I don’t think I’m the right person to come to about a subject like this if you’re wondering how much fun it is to live alone. Yes, I love living alone, but I’m not…normal. I’m highly anti-social and require large chunks of time on a daily basis in which to be completely alone. Yes, require. When I’ve had roommates it meant I had to shut myself in my room in the evenings, so living alone works better.

I don’t know what it’s like for normal people who live alone. Probably the same, but more lonely-feeling.

12

Maybe you are more normal than you think? :slight_smile:

I’m very sociable, but when I had roommates I felt the need to be away from them as often as possible. I think everyone (or most people) should have some place in the world that is just their own.

Smears, yeah Blurry’s right with the shower-curtain thing. If you got a shower get a nice curtain to replace the old crispy one :wink:
Get a set of nice soft towels (face, hand, body, hair towels), color to complement the shower curtain or window blind. Have them nicely folded in a stack on the cabinet if you got one. If you have a good rack for the shower/bath have it stocked with some decent hair products and body lotions. Get a basket and put some assorted blocks of fragrant soaps and some pot-pourri/dried leaves and flowers and shells and stuff - looks pretty for the girlies. Softest toilet tissue. Clean clean clean most important aswell. Talking as a single dad with 4 daughters :slight_smile:

14

Maybe. I only know what it feels like to be me.

The caged animal, fight-or-flight feeling I get when I don’t get to walk into my empty apartment at the end the day doesn’t seem very normal to me, though :laughing:

15

I think that is normal, too. When I lived with roommates, I hated how my comings and goings were always monitored. Hated it.

So in this way, I think you are sane. In many other ways though, you may be completely crazy. :smiley:

16

I’m okay with being crazy, or not being crazy, whatever the case may be.

I’m a girl, we’re all crazy.

17

The shower curtain and rug and towels and all that stuff match. I think I’m just gonna give a girl 100 bucks and tell her to go buy a hair dryer and whatever other stuff should be in there. As far as the softest toilet tissue…I only use the cottonelle. That stuff if like having your ass wiped by royalty.

18

Preach it. :slight_smile:

19

Forget getting stuff to match, it should be random and arbitrary, an organic growth from the whimsical nature of consumerism.

Neither, I’m a meticulous and precise shopper.
