A day in the life - female

The above chart shows a breakdown of a typical weekday (in hours) for a working woman. After allowing 8 hours for kip and 9 hours for working + commuting (obviously only possible if in France or if you live relatively near your place of work!), there isn't a lot of time left to dole out! Of course, these functions can overlap during the course of the day. For example, she can do her makeup in the traffic jam (after all, why else would they put a vanity mirror in the visor?!) or pop into the toilet during lunch to touch up the war paint. If she's really lucky, she may be able to even grab some shuteye at work, depending on the nature of her job. One of my ex-girlfriends actually managed this, but then again she used to fall asleep during many activities!!!! But, I digress....

Assuming the demarcation of the day as outlined in the chart, most of the remaining 7 hours in the day is devoting to gabbing. Following on from the previous post on the relative amounts of talking done by the sexes every day, communicating is much more important for a woman than a man. If you, her partner, is lucky, this communication will be mostly to other female friends or her family. If you are unfortunate, you will have to shoulder the burden yourself. I advise the purchase of flesh coloured earplugs/earphones and learn to nod or say "that's right, dear" every few minutes automatically!

The final activity that a woman tends to spend a significant amount of time on every day is preening. The right shoes with the right outfit must be carefully chosen, with reference to the last time they were worn and what every other woman at work is likely to wear, of course. The application of makeup and various creams and lotions to various parts of the body becomes a ritual for most women. Only they know why it's necessary to apply anti-aging cream to the soles of their feet or moisturiser to hands that they wash 10 times a day! A lot of this preening seems to take place because of some kind of innate female competition, rather than for the delectation of us men folk. Still, whatever the reason, we can still admire them!

Women don't tend to spend a lot of time eating, in comparison to men. A lot of chicks are paranoid about their weight and fear an affirmative response to the "does my ass look big in this?" question!

By the way, I am not trying to discriminate against housewives - I just wanted to compare like with like with the men!
