Yesterday I randomly found myself on MSN when I noticed an article about the 'Top 10 Things Men Hate Most'. I couldn't help but save the link to read it through when I got a break. Reading through there were points I could see from a mans point of view and others that I just thought were ridiculous, then I read the comments that had been left and couldn't believe some of the angry comments the posts had received. I decided to do my own little poll and see what men really think.
1. Playsuits
Playsuits (above Cameron Diaz in Dolce & Gabbana) have been a BIG seller over the past two summers, and whilst we girls can't get enough of them, men, it seems, CAN. With one guy telling me they only looked good 'if your 8 foot tall and superskinny' and another saying they looked like babygros.
2. Baseball Hats
A BIG no no according to most of the guys I asked, with more than a couple saying that they make females look like 'scally's' and others saying that if you see a girl wearing a baseball cap it can only mean one of two things - she's hungover or too lazy to wash her hair. Oofff.
3. Floppy Sun Hats
MSN stated that men hated floppy hats as 'they remind them of the 80's and pogo balls - something they'd like to forget' but the men I asked said that, as long as they are not ridiculously large, then a floppy hat is probably the best hat a girl can wear. With it reminding men of catwalks and making us girls seemingly look elegant without any effort.
4. Gladiator Sandals
Ok, another one that I agree with the guys on. Well one of the guys I asked reffered to them as Jesus Sandals and I wouldn't go quite that far, but there is something about these that seem to remind men of Russell Crowe Semi Naked....just Saying.
5. Too Short Shorts.
Here is one that all the men seem to have the same opinion on. Short shorts look great on girls with a great body, as long as it isn't their girls friend wearing them. Double Standards anyone?
6. String Bikini's
One that men, going against what MSN say, LOVE - as long as it isn't Jodie marsh or Jordan wearing it. Suprisingly the girls in the office seemed to love it as well. Well, if you've got it, flaunt it.
8. Oversized Sunglasses
MSN stated that men dislike these as they make them think of 'human sized manti's' and the men I asked all agreed, saying they make us look hungover, lazy for not putting make up on and far too big (well they are called oversized).
9. Kaftans
One that MSN stated as a garment that make females 'devoid of all sex appeal' and the men I asked didn't even know what they were until I showed them a picture. Upon seeing an image the men I asked seemed to be all for the Kaftan, as long as they are for the beach, one guy even saying they were perfect to wear from the beach to a party. Well said.
10. Oversized Beach Bags
Finally - the beachbag. The article was right - men DO seem to hate these, with comments like 'they're so big' and 'why do girls carry so much crap' I think their just annoyed that they end up carrying them personally.
