Culturally speaking, Ladies only poll…?

1. Becoming a wife. It is out of this relationship that having children together occurred. Not simply that one preceded the other, but it was our passion for each other that made us want to experience parenthood together.

2. BAD HAIR DAY. EVERY SINGLE TIME.

3. Friendship is the bedrock of my relationship with my husband, and friendship includes loyalty.

4. Depends on what for. I'm always running to the grocery because we ran out of something. I shop for pleasure at my favorite thrift store maybe once every two weeks.

5. I gain that in a single meal. I couldn't care less if I gained weight.

6. Fighting with my husband would rip me apart. Friends are a more peripheral part of my life.

7. I don't know about people who are "quick" to drop friends....but speaking from experience, many people over time come to realize they simply don't need close friends apart from their significant other, if that person is their best friend.

8. No clue about this. I didn't have a formal wedding.

9. I kept my last name.

1) Which do you anticipate or is, depending on where you are in life, more profound, becoming a wife or a mother?

I don't really have plans to become either, but it seems like becoming a mother would be a more poignant moment. Becoming a wife is, I assume, a lot like being a girlfriend.

Bad hair day. Acne is gross.

I don't know. 2?

Game Informer or Tattoo Flash.

1) Which do you anticipate or is, depending on where you are in life, more profound, becoming a wife or a mother?

1. As I am a mother, at least in the sense that I have given birth, and I am not a wife, I would say being a mother is more profound.

2. Give me bad hair. Some zits can be painful.

3. Friendship.

4. Weekly. When I go grocery shopping, that is. Other than that, it can be months in between shopping trips. I'm excluding window shopping trips, which are frequent because they get me out of the office during my lunch breaks.

5. I'd be annoyed, but I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

6. I've never really fought with a boyfriend. But fighting with a friend can be devastating.

7. Most women who do this are not aware of it. They are too caught up in infatuation and lust that they don't realize they bail on their friends. The ones who are aware were never friends in the first place.

8. Not a clue. I would rather see one or two, or even none at all than a large number, which is typically just for show.

9. If I ever get married, I will keep my name. This has no reflection on my future husband or his family. It is a reflection on how I felt about my family in the past compared to how I feel now.

10. Not sure I have one. I guess it would have to be Bead & Button as I make beaded jewelry.

1) For me personally, neither.

2) Bad hair day.

3) Friendship.

4) As little as possible.

5) I wouldn't care; it's water weight. I might forego dessert the next few days, but that's it.

6) Depends on how close I am to my boyfriend. The guy I am sort-of-seeing is not my #1 emotional priority; my ex, on the other hand, WAS my best friend.

7) I think they are somewhat aware, but too distracted to notice.

8) I'm not even sure what role a bridesmaid has... I thought it was like the Best Man... if so, then just one.

9) No.

10) Don't really have one.

1. Becoming a Mother

2. Bad Hair Day

3. Loyalty

4. Mostly on Weekends

5. Go to the gym right away

6. Fighting with a boyfriend

7. Yes they are aware, I have a friend who only calls me when her man is busy or they are arguying.. VERY ANNOYING.. We had been good friends since high school

8. 3 or 4 (sisters/best friend)

9.I would definetly take my husbands last name

10. I just pick up any magazine with a good cover

1) Neither.

2) It really wouldn't frazzle me either way. Bad hair day, I guess.

3) Both. Why would I have to go without one?

4) Not often at all. Although ironically, I went today. ...whattt? I had no clothes!

5) How do you "discover" something like that? Ha. I would go to the gym.

6) I've never had a boyfriend. I don't like to fight though.

7) haa.

8) Depends. How many good friends do you have?

9) I don't want to get married. If I did though, I probably would take his name.

10) I prefer the newspaper.
