What do girls talk about in the bathroom?
I wish I can present a good list of topics (things that guys will find useful, that is) that women talk about while congregating in the bathroom/powder room/toilet. But I can’t help but wonder, what’s the big deal anyway? I don’t understand why they find it “annoying”, “amusing” or “weird” that women do travel in packs when heading to the said destination.
Well, okay. Let me give it a go and list some of the things they talk about: Makeup and girly stuff while freshening up, recent shopping haulage, latest gossip (either showbiz or family or friends, whatever they’re most interested in), men and sex (depends on how bashful these friends are about that topic) or just a chance to compare notes or catch up on small things if they’re with a crowd and it’s the only time they can get away and talk.
Quite recently, I overheard a conversation among three snotty high school kids in the aforementioned location. Can you guess what they were talking about? Well, basically, they were gossiping about and getting a laugh at the expense of their classmate whom they think are not as “cool” as they are. Nice, yeah? Well, that’s cold hard truth. Cool, indeed. Heh. Some people find the comfort of toilets befitting of such behaviour.
Personally, I’m not the type who practices this sort of thing, needing to go to the bathroom with my girlfriends. I can go to the toilet on my own but of course I won’t turn away an offer to be accompanied by a friend who needs to go to the toilet, too. Conversation is to be expected if you’re with someone, right? But we don’t use going to the bathroom as an excuse to hold a meeting or whatever. I can always single out friends to talk in private outside the bathroom, just away from the group we’re with. Or perhaps schedule a different time to have that talk.
You guys have any idea on what sort of things girls talk about in the bathroom? Do you really think that it’s something that men should pay any sort of attention to? Is it really something significant?
Discuss.

It’s significant when you leave your date sitting at a table for 20 minutes. Significant and RUDE!
