Although girls are notorious for cat fights, we also take comfort in being in groups. We go to the mall together, out to lunch together, to pamper ourselves together and most importantly (and most misunderstood as to why), we go to the bathroom together. Every girl knows that going to the “powder room” means you can get away from the men and have some one on one time. So for all the confused men out there, here’s exactly why us ladies like to travel in packs…

Girls Are More Powerful In Groups

Female relationships are notorious for being much more emotional than “bromances”, as girls tend to be more deep and rely on their friends more in hard times. Going to the bathroom in groups gives us time to talk about things we can’t necessarily talk about in front of everyone else. Also, we may need to re-group and plan our next move, whether it’s deciding to leave or which one of us is going to try and get a free round out of the creeper at the bar.

Girls Need To “Freshen Up”

No, this does not mean powdering our noses (even though movies like to make you think it does). The reality is, most girls are very aware of how they look, and going to the bathroom includes mirrors (one of our favorite things) so we can make sure our make-up hasn’t smeared or that our hair is still as perfect as it can be. We also need the re-assurance that we still look good from our girlfriends…maybe even more so than from the men.

Girls Need To Keep Their Mystery

Guys are so stooped as to why girls go to the bathroom in groups, and we like it that way. It’s a way for us to keep your attention and make you wonder what we’re doing in their…just one of the many ways we keep your minds fixed on us. Chances are we’re talking about what we should say to you next or even just gushing over how damn sexy you look.

There you have it guys. The biggest mystery since the Lockness Monster, revealed. So next time your girl trots off to the ladies room, all her friends in tow, don’t wonder about it, just accept it!
