Curiosity killed the cat, I just hope it doesn’t run over Ronovan. There are things I wonder about. Some are important and some are not. Having a blog I get to ask these questions without the fear of being damaged bodily. Although I am certain I may hear about it through Twitter DMs, About page message system, emails, and even facebook messages. I am entirely too accessible.
Things I Need to Know From Women
Are bra’s comfortable at all?
The mere thought of having to wear a harness freaks me out. It’s like having to hook up a guide dog for service. I just can’t imagine. Come to think of it, I am happy I can’t image. I have a great imagination but brassiere wearing isn’t a great image apparently. At least not on me. I will stop at that with this one.
Do you like g-string undies?
I just had to ask this. A friend said she only wore them with certain outfits because of VPL. I had to google VPL, I thought her auto correct had malfunctioned. Shoelaces for undies seems so uncomfortable. Yes, men seem to get a thrill out of the idea but have them wear them and see how long that lasts. I just threw up a little in my mouth. Personally I would rather a woman wear those cheekies, I think they are called. They are probably just as uncomfortable but at least they leave something to the imagination and to me are just sexy.
Is drawing with a pencil around your eyes fun?
If I had taken a pencil and started drawing around my eyes with it as a child I would have been punished. Even little girls would have been. But it’s a huge business for adults. Eye liner, mascara . . . have you ever thought how scarey mascara sounds?
Do you like the feminine product commercials?
I just can’t imagine sitting there with the family and suddenly certain commercials come on and my son looks at me and begins to ask questions. I am trying to think of a man product that would be similar. I am sure there should be but men aren’t willing to admit it. I suppose hemorrhoid cream would be the closest. But I just don’t see how anyone would want their bodily functions, which are beyond their control spread across the television screen.
Do you like products that change colors and the like just to attract your dollars?
Do you really care what color your pens are? I even read that one college in Canada was banning various colored ink due to their being racist or discriminatory. Do you prefer your ink to be pink or is okay with you if it’s blue?
If a man has a nose hair waving at you on a date, do you still kiss him?
You like the fellow, he’s been nice and sweet and you have thought about that goodnight moment at the door. Then on approach the nose hair waves at you. If you kiss him it might even touch you. What do you do? What . . . do . . . you . . . do?
If a blind date goes badly do you hate the friend that set you up?
It happens. I know none of the ladies reading this ever had to go on a blind date. But let us say hypothetically you did go on one, what would you do if it went badly?
a) Forgive the friend
b) Disown the friend
c) Get revenge and set said friend up with the worst possible date you can find (Sorry, I’m not medically allowed to drive yet.)
Would you date a friend?
The killer happens. You go out with . . . a friend. Is it possible? Can it work? What if it doesn’t? Can you remain friends after having . . . you know . . . done the deed . . . kissed? It happens and if it goes unchecked the friends just keep going down the path to marriage and so on and so forth without that in love aspect. Would you date a friend?
Do you feel discriminated against in grocery stores with the shelves so high?
So you are elevatededly challenged and you approach the soft drink aisle. And of course what you want is on the top shelf. I know a lady of 68 who stepped on the bottom shelf to reach the bottles. She is maybe a hair over 5 feet tall. The bottle slipped and came down on her head. Now if it had been the side of the bottle it might have been okay. The problem is it came down straight bottle cap first. Is it rational to have the shelves so high when you can never find anyone to help? I don’t know how many times I’ve had to help people get things down in stores. Is it a form of discrimination or insensitivity law?
What is the biggest turnoff in a relationship to you?
Not much I can say here. This one is really up to y’all to speak on.
Those are just some of the things that came to mind recently that I need to know from women.
Much Respect

Wow Ronovan. The subject of this post really got my curiosity up, so of course I HAD to read it and respond.
Bras….no. Bras were and still are generally designed by men. 90-some % of women wear the wrong bra size, because getting them to fit correctly takes someone that can actually fit that bra TO YOU. Most women don’t do this, they just grab something off the rack and hope for the best.
G-Sting Undies/Thongs… I’ve worn them for years. I think it depends on what you get used to. I have girlfriends that are horrified at the thought.
Feminine Product Commercials….NO. We don’t like them either and if YOU happen to be in the room when one comes on, I get a little embarrassed.
Products That Change Color…Not since I was about 12. 🙂
Nose Hair…I guess it never came up. If the guy was sweet and hot, I’d kiss him anyway.
Blind Date…never been on one, sorry.
Dating a Friend….This is a very sticky thing. Me, I say NONONO. If you truly value that friendship, don’t risk it.
High Grocery Shelves…No. I’ve never felt discriminated against.
Biggest Turnoff in a Relationship… I think my biggest thing is dishonesty. That more than anything else will kill it for me.
I hope I’ve helped solving some of the universes mysteries for you Ronovan. Now, go forth without fear!!

I probably shouldn’t be amused but your questions about underwear and make up and others are hilarious. Alas, I don’t feel comfortable answering them in a public forum 😉 Suffice to say that as a woman I’m perfectly comfortable with women’s things, including bras and eye liners. And for high shelves, I’ve married a taller man 🙂

What questions! I actually love that you are asking these… it feels a little like some of the questions I see when I teach Sexuality Education Classes to middle- and high-school students — we’re all curious about those things that we don’t experience first-hand, about how the “other” (whoever that other may be) thinks, and often don’t have a venue in which to ask. Bravo to you for asking 🙂
So.. some answers!
Bras – Different women will give you different responses, of course, on this (and all) questions, and some of it will depend on matters such as bust-size, the kind of bra’s they are wearing, and if they have ever gotten a proper fitting (so important and can make such a difference). Personally I’ve adjusted to it, but I recall when I first started wearing one that it was quite uncomfortable. Now, it’s more comfortable than not wearing one when I’m out and about (unless it’s one that’s fitted wrong or old and has wires poking into me…that is not so comfortable).
G-Strings… that one I don’t understand myself. It just…makes no sense. Worried about VPL — wear a less tight skirt/pants or… you know… don’t worry about it at all? Yeah, I can’t imagine wearing what amounts to butt-floss being comfortable.
Eye-Makeup — Mascara is REALLY scary — and eyelash curlers!? You are poking things at your eye! I still do it, from time to time, but it is scary. Eye-shadow is okay (mostly, unless it’s too powdery and gets in my eyes, or I rub my eyes and unintentionally smear it all over the place. I’ve really self-taught how to even wear makeup, so a lot of it I don’t use (I tried eyeliner.. I really did.. but I have trouble tracing when all odds are in my favor, how am I supposed to manage tracing along the edge of MY OWN EYE? I am sure there are more cosmetics-confident women out there who have no troubles with such things but, if I decide I want to wear makeup one day (and really, it usually isn’t worth the hassle for me) I go through the fear of poking my eye out.
Feminine Product Commercials – I find them amusing, and less uncomfortable to see in mixed company than, say, commercials about medication for erectile dysfunction. But then, I have at various times in my life been a sex-educator so… talking about women’s periods isn’t a huge taboo for me (I’ve shared my “first period” story about as many times as I’ve shared my birth story). What I find amusing is the way that women are portrayed in them — like using the right tampon/pad is going to relieve cramps and hormonal moodiness and all of that. Yeah….
Product Colors – I prefer my ink to be black, of a certain liquid-level (you know, the ones that you have to take the little plastic cap off of before the first time you start writing?), but I chalk that up to a writer-eccentricity more than anything else. I do use multi-colored ink for things, when organizing notes, for instance, or editing my thesis (green for “forgot your reference/clean up that footnote,” red for “work on rewording here,” purple for “check the spelling of that work/name” or “didn’t you just use that word, like, a million times?” and so forth). Now, if you’re talking about color-changing products like the “mood-nail-polish” I found when I was in high school (it was a pale color inside, and then when I went outside it turned a brighter shade!) well, that’s just awesome-fun. Who wouldn’t enjoy something like that?
On a related note, have you seen the Ellen commentary on the “Bic Pen for Women”? It is excellent and hilarious. You should look it up.
Nose Hair — I guess that is like any other questions that relate to someones personal hygiene. It would not be a deal-breaker in-of-itself, however, if I am noticing THAT then perhaps I wouldn’t be wanting to kiss him anyhow.
Blind Date — Honestly, even if it didn’t go well I’d be happy that they even tried/thought of me. Unless the guy was a real jerk-wad, in which case I would question how well my friend actually knew me.
Dating a friend — I have a … perhaps unique… take on this. Of the boyfriends I have had in my life, the vast majority of them have started out as friends. And, honestly, have ended as friends as well. As a matter of fact, my absolutely-best-friend-in-the-entire-world was a guy that I dated for a number of years. He knows me better than anyone else, and isn’t afraid to call me on shit when I need to be called on it. Another one of my very-very good friends was my first-love (and I happily helped throw a bachelor party for him recently). It wouldn’t work for everyone, certainly, and there was hesitation going into these (and some adjustment coming out) but because of the nature of our relationships and friendships it worked. Can’t think of any male-friends that I have that I would have an interest in dating at this point (most of them are married or at least in committed-relationships, and I don’t think of any of them as potential date-able folks) so I don’t know if I would try such a thing again but, to be honest, I have a hard time thinking of entering the dating world/relationship-land without the base of friendship first.
Grocery Shelves — I never thought I was tall, but at 5’7″ I am, apparently, tall for a woman. I also took years of ballet, so can stand pretty high on my toes in a pinch with relative ease (somehow, still, after all these years). Suffice it to say I have never had a challenge reaching things in high places.
Turnoff- Dishonesty. Meanness. Lack of respect.
Hmm.. fun questions to think about, thanks for asking. 🙂

Are bra’s comfortable at all?
In a word, NO. Not simply no my friend, but nooooo. Torturous devices of restriction and restraint, yet ultimately necessary, though always, speaking for myself, slightly unbearable until the end of the day . . . release.
Do you like g-string undies?
My thoughts; eww, gross, why? It seems to me since the invention of undergarments that didn’t end at the knees, people have been trying to,keep those creepy crawly bit of fabric OUT of there, so . . .
Is drawing with a pencil around your eyes fun?
Fun? Perhaps at Halloween. Honestly though, I don’t wear a lot of make-up, but always a little. I like it, it makes me feel like I took more than a moment to think about the way I look. I can’t quite comprehend the need so many have to *look* made-up. A little goes a long way to enhance what you have. And mascara is and can still be scary!
Do you like the feminine product commercials?
Ugh. So silly they are. Show me a woman with dark circles, bloating, and in a foul mood. I don’t know about most other women, but I am not doing sports or dancing or smiling when the need for those particular products arrives.
Do you like products that change colors and the like just to attract your dollars?
Black ink. I’m fairly easy to please.
If a man has a nose hair waving at you on a date, do you still kiss him?
I’m not certain conversation would be attained if there were nose hairs waving at me :o) there are trimmers for that . . . I am certain a man would be hard pressed to go in for a goodnight kiss if the tables were turned.
If a blind date goes badly do you hate the friend that set you up?
As you rightly guessed, would never happen, but *if* there is always room for forgiveness.
Would you date a friend?
I did. I married him :o) I think a foundation of friendship is a MUST.
Do you feel discriminated against in grocery stores with the shelves so high?
Nah, but they could stand to be lower for some. I am 5’3, I just ask for help if needed.
What is the biggest turnoff in a relationship?
When people try to control their partner OR are entirely too dependent on them.

1. No.
2. No.
3. Yes. I Love wearing make-up, when I have time. It makes me feel pretty.
4. No.
5. Blue or black to write, and red and green to mark. I think using colors helps some people study and organize.
6. Yes.
7. I make an effort to never blame anyone for what I have agreed to do.
8. No.
9. Never.
10. Rude, unclean, or drunk men turn me off.

Hilarious. You definitely come up with the best kind of questions. I asked myself a lot of them already for a multitude of times.
So of course – no way I couldn’t answer them, just like everyone else here. Plus, it’s for a good cause, right?! Understanding women better (maybe). 🙂
Are bra’s comfortable at all?
They’re okay. If you have small boobs, they are probably not necessary, but if you have bigger ones, they spare you the trouble of two things wobbling in front of you that might potentially throw off your balance. They also spare others the ugly sight of “hanging cleavage”.
Do you like g-string undies?
No. Not sexy. Not comfy. Google “whale tail”… that’s part of what I absolutely don’t like.
Is drawing with a pencil around your eyes fun?
I don’t do that. But since I tried earlier in my life and it never looked right – it probably can be if you know what you’re doing, and want to invest the time and money. 🙂
Do you like the feminine product commercials?
Nope. But who does?
Do you like products that change colors and the like just to attract your dollars?
I like pens that write. Color is often secondary. But I think we mostly have black and blue in this household…
If a man has a nose hair waving at you on a date, do you still kiss him?
Good question. I think I go with Tempest on this one.
If a blind date goes badly do you hate the friend that set you up?
I think not. Unless the guy hurts me physically… then yes.
Would you date a friend?
It would be a risky game for both of us, so if we’re both willing to do it, why not?!
Do you feel discriminated against in grocery stores with the shelves so high?
Should I? I also don’t feel discriminated when I go into a store and they only have clothes in sizes I haven’t been wearing since kindergarten.
What is the biggest turnoff in a relationship to you?
Dishonesty.
Are you closer to understanding women yet? And did some woman already track you down for this? (imho: it wasn’t that shocking, sometimes we just have to ask questions!) 🙂
PS: I also sign Luccia’s inquiry about statistics or a summary of the answers. 🙂

Great post and I’m happy to help you understand us mysterious creatures better 😉
1. I hate bras. Tried many different sizes, even had a shop assistant take proper measurements and bought the right bra for me. It’s not working out between me and the “harness” (love that comparison!). They give me back pain, the straps cut into my skin, sometimes I can’t breathe. So 90% of the time I’m not wearing one.
2. Hate them, too! They’re too revealing, it’s much sexier leaving things to the imagination.
3. I used to apply eye liner regularly but the older I get the more I find that it makes me look old and tired. I prefer a fresher look now with simple eye shadow in brown tones and a little mascara. And nope, never given the actual word much thought but now you’re saying.. it does have a close resemblance to ‘massacre’ and perhaps that’s what one gets when they don’t apply it right?
4. Luckily I don’t watch telly so no commercials. I don’t mind them but don’t particularly like them either. When I was younger I hated any commercials about sanitary pads. It just looked so awful, like a nappy in your panty, and then they’d show the blood being absorbed. Put me right off.
5. As I get older I don’t care about the colour anymore. Sometimes when I need a pen urgently I’m glad just to find any in my house!
6. Hmmmm difficult one.. I think I wouldn’t. It’s just too gross. In a relationship later on, yes, but not in these first stages. If he’s not trimming his visible nose hair he might care even less later on.
7. It happened to me before and the so-called friend was laughing afterwards. She just found it hilarious to set me up with someone truly awful and ugly, it was almost too bad to be true. I told her she is no longer my friend!
8. Yep, had an FWB before and it worked out great for about 6 months. I starting falling in love and he called it off. We’re no longer friends. The thing is you can’t turn off feelings so I always say “go for it”, what can you lose? Perhaps your friend, but being in love with someone and not being able to let it out is also torture, so no point in continuing that friendship with a lie.
9. A football fanatic. Been through that once and the weekends were spent in football stadiums. During the week there would always be something football related on TV. You just don’t get a break.

Who likes bra’s? I mean I like the look of wearing one but not the uncomfortableness.
G-String undies, um no they are uncomfortable but try it – they make them for men nowadays as well. Some cloths you just have no option, it’s either a G-String or no udies.
Once you are used to it – drawing with a pencil around your eye is not so bad. And if you know how – you can achieve some nice looks. Like you can make your eyelashes appear longer.
Famine product adverts like for tampons and pads? Well my friend, here they are done very tactfully and I don’t think a kid would guess what they are all about. But at the end of the day that is just part of being a woman. We need to embrace even this aspect about ourselves.
Nose hair! Um, … kiss the dude anyways. There are worse things.
Um, it is not that friends fault if the said blind date goes badly,… but then I don’t go for such a thing in the first place.
If I was not married and there where sparks between said friend and me – sure I would date him. But if you know there are no other feelings – no. Can we still be friends afterwards? Well to my experience that never works out. It is a sticky situation do you risk the friendship for something more?
Um, you know –the grocery stores do that on purpose. You know stack the expensive products in easy to reach places that catch your eye and the cheap ones out of sight and hard to reach places…. It’s marketing not discrimination.
And your last question, I don’t know…..

Interesting post… funny too. And thanks for asking. 🙂
1. Bra – generally not comfortable unless well-fitted, French and expensive. Just kidding! Query why and who says women have to wear bras to be ‘decent’? If it is a choice between bra or no bra, the answer is ‘no bra’.
2. G-strings – only if necessary to avoid VPL. Then again why and who says VPL is not sexy?
3. Drawing around the eyes – generally with a sharp pencil, it’s a health hazard! 🙂 No, not fun…yes, I do it on occasions. Prefer dark eye shadow with a little highlight.
4. Feminine product commercials – they are ads, need I say more?! Oh alright, NO.
5. Product changing colours – as the only point of differentiation without changing the nature or quality of the product, then no.
6. Nose hair – eeewww. Enough said.
7. Blind date gone wrong – no hard feelings BUT I want to know why and how my friend thought it was a good idea. Am I missing something?
8. Date a friend – yes.
9. High shelves – yes, being petite (translation: short), I feel absolutely discriminated against 🙂
10. Biggest turnoff – ‘biggest’ as in only one answer permitted? That’s limiting… mmm, can’t do it. Narcissistic and/or crass men. Yes, there’s a list 🙂
