8 Things That Women Have a Love/Hate Relationship With

Ladies, we all have them... those things we can't live with but can't live without. Here's our top 8 "favorites."

1. Men

We can't live with you and we can't murder you, either. You remember when the game will be on, but can't remember to bring the trashcan in off the curb. You can still remember the hidden levels on Super Mario Brothers that you used to play back in 1996, but can't remember to move the laundry from the washer to the dryer. Also, your 'how long do I have to sit and pretend to listen before I can take a long cell phone break in the can away from life' routine is getting really super old. Adulting isn't always easy.

2. Tampons

Ah, tampons. The simplest, number one period remedy in America! I mean, really. It's the most effective and preferred menstrual remedy for most women, so we love that part. Yet, you have to shove a plastic or cardboard tube apparatus up your hoo-ha and manually plunge a foreign, uncomfortable object into your body...and leave it there. Don't get me started on fishing for the disappearing string or the pulling out of a dry tampon, but hey, at least they keep us dry and sanitary!

3. Make-Up

Make-Up is what makes our faces smooth, even-keeled, and flawless. It's also the same thing that can cause the flaws to begin with. It takes forever to learn how to use, forever to apply, and costs an arm and a leg. Hundreds of dollars just to maintain a face? Can't someone just invent a cost effective pre-made makeup face that we can stick on quickly and pull off like a temporary tattoo?

4. Gynecologists

One word: Speculum. A paper sheet, open gown, and what resembles a nineteenth-century torture device. It seems like they crank it open so wide sometimes that they try examine you all the way up from your cervix to your lungs. We have more of a hate relationship with the gynecologist than a love one, but the gynecologist does make sure we don't have cancer or anything else wrong with 'lady luck', so hooray for gynecologists!

5. Pantyhose

Pantyhose are necessities for women, especially in formal situations. We love the way they smooth out and hide imperfections in our legs and tummy. We hate that they squeeze the life out of us, snag on anything but air, and cause us to sweat in places we really don't want sweat in. Because if women love anything, it's to be beautiful, smooth, and swampy.

6. Bras

Bras are beautiful, sexy, and vibrant. They make women feel like voluptuous vixens. What bras also do is pinch, prod, poke, and restrict. Bras are something you could wear for your hottest date or wish upon your worst enemy; it all depends on the situation. At times, bras make for better weapons than chest support. It's the modern age for technology for goodness sake. Can we please work on getting some better boulder holders?

7. Food

Women all have their indulgences when it comes to food. It's always either too fattening, salty, or sweet. We love it, and we hate it and there's a delicate balance to it. Too much of a delicious, unhealthy food can really upset the balance in the force. Once you start to put on a few pounds and someone asks when your baby is due, the relationship has probably teetered to the dark side.

8. Target Stores

All women are familiar with the awesomeness and money pit that is Target. Every woman at some point or another has walked into a Target store to buy just two required items which somehow turns into five full bags and a receipt that reads, 'Total: $114.17'. Target is awesome because it always has everything, including things we love but don't need. Target is horrible for our bank accounts because it always has everything, including the things we love but don't need! Sneaky Target.
