Women's Bathrooms at Bars

There is a reason women take forever in the bar bathrooms.  Sometimes there is a really long line.  Lots of times they are "adjusting", reapplying makeup, checking their teeth, smoothing out their dresses or outfits, or just plain putting everything back in its place.  Oh, and they go in there to gossip...about everything. It's almost as if the bathroom is a secret world where they think no one else can hear them. 

If it weren't a bathroom, I would stand in there taking notes of the stuff I overheard because it is entertaining.  I feel for those bathroom attendants who hand out hairspray, mints, hand towels, and such while they have to listen to the various noises and smells emanating from the users in the bathroom.  At lease they have some sort of amusement listening to the patrons?

But I digress.  Women don't necessarily dress for men.  They think they do.  They try short shirts, tight shirts, low-cut tops, but in reality, they really just don't want to be judged by the other women. 

Some conversations that can be over heard are, "Do I look too skanky?" "How does my cleavage look?" "Can you seem my underwear line?"  "How's my hair?" "Do you think so-and-so noticed me?" "OMG, did you see what so-and-so was wearing?"  Sometimes there are questions and comments to improve upon something even so simple as, "Your tag is showing." What type of lip gloss is that, it is great." Other times women just compliment each other without prompts.  It goes on and on. 

The women's bathroom has many purposes at a bar.  One is to definitely relieve oneself, meaning urinating or just taking a break, gossipping, rearranging...and planning.  There is a lot of planning that goes on in a bar bathroom. So, guys, next time a woman says "the line was really long," it might have been the case, but that just might not be the only reason.  They had a plan.
