One of the most frustrating things I have to go through as a man is waiting for my significant other to get ready when we are going out. What is it about getting ready that makes women the slowest creatures on the planet? It seems like whether they take 3 minutes or 3 hours they look the same to us. What do they do in there? What can possibly take so long? It is honestly one the mysteries of the world to me, that and how a thermos works have had me baffled for years. According to Men's Health magazine there is not much we can do to speed her up but there are a few things we can do ease the pain:

  • Lie- Tell her dinner is at 6:30 instead of 7. That way you have a cushion of half an hour to let her get ready and do all the things she thinks she needs to get done and you're not steaming about it.
  • Remind her- Gently. An hour and half before it's time to leave, remind her that is time to start getting ready.
  • Get ready first- Do all of your showering and shaving long before she locks herself in the can. That way you are out of the way and cannot be a fault for slowing her down in any way.
  • Get a book- The fact is nothing short of tear gas is going to get her out of that bathroom before she's good and ready, so make your time productive . Catch up on your reading. Watch SportsCenter. Whatever it takes to take your mind off the fact that time's-a-wasting. Good luck guys.
