As we found out before, us girls are a strange lot. Unless you know otherwise, some of the things we do seem deliberately designed to annoy, frustrate, and otherwise infuriate you.
One of the most annoying things we do (according to a random poll of the three guys at the office right now) is that point in the evening, right after a few cocktails, when your girlfriend/ wife/ possibly-obtainable female roommate bats her eyelashes at her three girlfriends, and, apparently communicating by Eyelash Morse-code, the four of them rise at once like a badly coordinated Britney Spears video and disappear en masse to the restroom.
Why do they do this? Is there some kind of secret restroom ritual going in involving candles and handbags and possibly some unfortunate male virgin? Or is something far more sinister involved? You could be forgiven for asking those questions. TVLesson investigates…

Four Girls and a Restroom

Step
1
Let’s dispense with the mystery. When girls go to the restroom together like this, usually at least one of them really does need to, uh, use the facilities, as my grandma used to say.
But what are the other three girls there for? Moral support? To hold her hand? To guard her against rampant wildebeest en route between bar and the stalls? Nope. The other three girls go for one reason and one reason only: to talk.
Are they talking about you specifically? Unlikely, but your name will probably come up at some point. Girls love to gossip about guys, and where’s the only place where they can go where guys are pretty much guaranteed to overhear them? ;-)

Before you go getting paranoid, it’s usually not about you, unless you’ve done something particularly naughty with the neighbor’s ex-wife and your girlfriend’s third best friend somehow found out about it and is choosing now to spill the beans. If you have a clear conscience, and haven’t gotten spectacularly fat lately or lost all your hair, it’ll probably all okay. So chill. Sit back and enjoy that beer. You’ll be fine. Really.
Step

Unless they are involved in some form of secret substance abuse or she belongs to the CIA, there’s really only one other reason girls go to the restroom: to preen. Even if your girl looks perfect to you, chances are while she’s gazing into your eyes over your Super-Size BBQ Sliders she’s wondering if a) what her hair looks like b) what her make-up look like c) if she has lipstick on her teeth after biting into that onion ring, or c) all of the above.
To a girl, leaving the house without make-up is the equivalent of you going out without any clothes on at all. She literally feels naked without it. But make-up is a fickle beast and does not stay where it’s put. Lipstick bleeds. Mascara runs. Powder rubs off and makes our foreheads look shiny (which (in case you didn’t know) to a girl is Not A Good Thing). So she has to go into the restroom to fix it.

So there you go. Mystery solved. And I promise they’re not talking about you. Really. At least, not all of them at once… ;-)
