We're girls and proud of it.Now's our chance to celebrate the female behaviour that makes us so special....

Ever notice howmen have this amazing talent for turning every strange quirk into something to be proud of?Drinking milk out of the carton or applying athlete's foot cream.They're not ashamed of their species' tendencies,which begs the question:why should we hide our womanly ways?Those fundamentally female habits we try to disguise like gossiping for hours or travelling in pairs to the bathroom.It's what makes being a girl so fantastic and unique!
Take an indulgent look at this list of female conduct that you have every right to get away with...

Keep a wedding file
even though you don't have a fiance or even a boyfriend.Men hold on to back issues of car and gadget magazines for decades in preparation for their blissful moment of purchase,so what's the difference?

Secretly wondering
what you'd like with a boob job or some liposuction,even though you're not planning on going through with it.

Getting panicked
Hehe we have to admit it-girls are not very good at hiding their emotions and have a greater tendency to cry,be emotionally upset and get nervous and depressed or panicked-perhaps due to their motherly nature,while men tend to take a different approach,the poor ones just hold on to a bottle of beer to evade their problems!!

Female instincts
Neither should one fool with girls nor lie!!You'll,by hook or by crook be caught in the net somehow...a plus for girls!

Academically
Shall we say that girls are academically inferior to boys?Yes,no,maybe...i don't know!Reseach has proved that small girls can be more hard working than boys and produce better results but as girls grow older,it's all the way round.But exceptions do exist

Spending ages
in the bathroom.Your lengthy shower-and-spruce routine is the only real me-time you have during the day.So enjoy it.And anyway,when you feel great,you're doing the world a favour.

Window-shopping
You're flat broke and your credit cards are up to their limit,but you can spend an entire afternoon in the shops browsing and ogling pretty things without making a purchase.It's not pathetic...it's ingenious.This is a skill worthy of listing on your cv!

Looking at other women
Biologically speaking,it's natural to check out the competition.

Buying a slightly too small pair of shoes
Why?Because they were gorgeous and in the sale.Your rationale?They might work if you don't have to walk.Or they might fit your best friend.Or your daughter could wear them one day.The bottom line is,you're being thrifty and simply kindly thinking of others.

Divulging everything
to your friends,even things you don't tell him-that makes you mysterious but secretive sometimes...

Keeping a stash of survival gear
in your handbag(think extra batteries plasters,a sewing kit,hair slides,a nail file,extra undies,eyedrops,painkillers,earplugs,low-cal salads,sweets)that would make the A-team look like scouts.You might need a forklift to carry your bag around town,but in the mortal words of mums everywhere..."you never know"

Giving yourself the royal treatment
Getting manicures,massages and facials may seem self-indulgent,but a bit of 'me,me,me' generates positive emotions that can boost your immune system,enhance your metabolism and soothe your mind.So it feels good and is oh-so good for you.What exactly was frivolous about pampering again?

Taking one of his t-shirts
so you can sleep in it and smell him all night long

Going in herds to the toilet
You never know when you'll need back-up,like extra toilet paper from another cubicle or some chewing gum for fresh breath.Besides,hanging out with your friends in that impossibly long toilet queue is much more fun than having yet another cliched conversation with a complete stranger about how there should be more cubicles.And your friends will always be your look-out when you dash into the men's toilets to have a pee!

Rambling on
about your emotions or how something makes you feel.It's this skill and honesty that separates women from men

Going to see soppy films alone
and sobbing.It's dark and everyone's looking at Meg Ryan-not you.Cry into your tub of popcorn.

Having an unexplained bond
with your mobile phone,ie,checking voicemail 10 times a day every day.Every girl needs to stay connected in our chaotic world.

Knowing and showing
your good side in photographs.Posing with your headtilted up so your neck skin doesn't bunch under your chin,or angling to keep your eyes from squinting is a great skill that eliminates a lot of mental anguish later-and the impulse to panic and snatch the ugly pictures out of the hands of sexy men.

Making lists
Whereas the male mentality is,'if i can't remember it,it must not be important',we write down those trivial to-dos,like 'do the washing' and take out the rubbish' because it makes us feel more productive.Then we can allow ourselves more time to devote to the truly important things in life,like baths,George Clooney films and chocolate!

Raving to your friends
about how great he is.They may roll their eyes and make gagging noises,but don't let that keep you from complaining your man.You spend a fair amount of time complaining about irritating man tendencies and getting emotional about his latest lapses,so your friends need to hear the nice stuff too-whether they like it or not.

Thinking 'i have nothing to wear'
as you stare into a wardrobe stuffed with clothes

Gossiping
We all do it,and frankly,it's fascinating.But gossip is also good for your health.Gossip is to humans what grooming is to primates-it's a form of social bonding,which has been shown to relieve stress,boost the immune system and stimulate the release of endorphins.Men gossip as much as women.So there.

Calling your mum
when things get tough.Bad break-ups,issues at work-whatever the problem she has the ability to make you feel better without making you feel stupid.

Having occasion underwear
like buying flirty lingerie.Hey,we've got the shops at our service....

Being openly sarcastic
about an over-disciplined friend's diet and exercise routine but secretly wanting to know her little tricks for sticking to the programme.How does she manage to say no to evenings of pizza and red wine?

Asking friends
to check your teeth and nostrils to make sure you don't have any unsightly cling ons-that is to the extreme!!

Watching Trisha
You feel all warm inside from watching all those survivor stories about everyday women who triumph over tragedy,overcome the odds and self-motivate to succeed.But it's also reassuring to see that someone else's life is more twisted or tough than yours.

Sleeping with the light on
when your man or flatmate is away

Taking an entire cupboard
for 'products'.Between the hair mousse,the body sprays,those 8000 bottles of nail polish,the soaps that look like sweets,the free samples of perfume and make-up you'll never use,and the powders,cleansers,masks,scrubs and expensive perfumes you can imagine,you have a department store's worth a rubbish in there.Beautiful.

Feeling guilty
about killing insects and spiders,but expecting someone else to do it for you

Asking lots of questions
Curiosity is a sign of intelligence,not ignorance.Staying silent when you're clueless is as bad as pretending you know the score.

Getting dressed up
to go on errands.There's nothing worse than bumping into your ex or that perfect girl you hated in school when you're in tracky bottoms!And it's not as if showering or wearing a skirt to the local shop flies in the face of feminism and all things 'girl power'.

Dancing with your friends
or by yourself.Men with good rhythm are so rare and in demand,what choice do we have??John Travolta is unique!

Seing the big picture
Men are more 'here and now' orientated,so we take flack for having a five-year plan or dumping a man because he's rude to a waiter.But the fact is,we see the future or at least what might be and we try to prepare for it.Like when you pack an umbrella to go on holiday and your man accuses you of being anal.But then,there he is ,standing next to you underneath it when you get hit by a downpour.

Packing a month's worth
of clothing for a weekend away.Let's face it:a woman needs options.

Happily spending hours
analysing a friend's odd relationship without getting bored for a second.On some level,you're striving for a better understanding of your subject.Anthropologists do it too.

9 SIGNS YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR
Feminineis one thing,but moves like these give 'ladylike' a bad name.
*wearing so many ruffles and lace that you might set sail if there is a gust of wind
*Applying lipstick or powdering your face at the table during a date,thinking he finds it sexy
*Demurely ordering a salad for dinner,then eating your man's starter when it arrives
*Strutting in uncomfortable but sexy shoes and complaining after walking down one street
*Sending your boyfriend off to the chemist to buy sanitary towels or other stuffs when you know it will embarass him to death
*Saying in a sweet Scarlett O'Hara voice that you can't go out in yhe rain without an umbrella
*Acting absolutely miffed when a man doesn't open a door for you
*Gasping in disapproval when a friend tells you about her sexploits when you are guilty too(not for girls please:))
*Critiquing other girl's chin gair,as if you don't have a stray strand or two somewhere.
.......And off course,do not forget the good etiquettes!!
