Things Girls Always Do in Movies and Never Do in Real Life: Vol. III

culled from:http://www.glamour.com
We couldn't resist revisiting our signature franchise (see our earlier editions at the end of this post) in honor of They Came Together, the Amy Poehler/Paul Rudd movie that sends up the rom-com genre and all its puzzling quirks. For the occasion, we racked our brains for other leading-lady behavior that's never added up—and asked you guys for the things that rankle you.
Splash their faces with water when they're stressed. No girl will ruin her makeup like that. —@kellyjenkins822
Have a friend—or be the friend—who's just openly mean to every guy the best friend introduces because she's "the protective one."
They manage to never repeat a single outfit and it's like...how?!? (Oh. Right. Wardrobe.)—@ellaceron
Indicate "laundry day" by wearing comically large cotton panties. Let's be real: A lot of us actually wear our prettiest, laciest things on laundry day, 'cause we used up all our comfy stuff.
The "eat a pint of ice cream and cry" trope after a breakup is VERY exaggerated. The gals I know gotta get on w/life.—@kimyanattalie
Magically never have to wait for a table at brunch. Amiright?
Wear hats. And not baseball or sun hats but newsboy and others that are out of style and just look ridiculous.—@AdelaideScars
Have assistants who are mainly for blowing right past (SUPER-BUSY VIP COMING THROUGH!) as the leading lady enters her office. Thirty seconds after leading lady sits down, said assistant will apologetically deliver news of "Some guy? He says his name is ___? He says you met at ___?" being "on the line." This is the guy the leading lady will marry.
Invite all their friends over to decide whether they should get rid of one outfit.—@ml_boardman
Conduct full-on important conversations with their significant other while both are brushing their teeth in a gorgeously appointed en suite bathroom yet somehow never dribble spit. Bonus points if the husband is in the bedroom fluffing and arranging the pillows, since no husband in the history of the world has ever done such a thing.
Shave bald legs!—@Amprsndcstls
Tell their best friend/boyfriend they might be pregnant via one whispered phrase and one whispered phrase only: "I'm late."
Fall in love with their stalker.—our own Tanya Edwards
Live in apartments that always have a beautiful entryway (think vintage mirror and somewhere to drop your keys without looking) and a long hallway to sashay down. I mean, when you're 27, there's a far better chance you sashay right into a tiny shared living room and your roommate's boyfriend watching Pawn Stars. And the leading lady's always supposed to be 27.
Always have a happy ending, even with d—bags.—@CottimSonia (*I would argue this one holds up for either the guy or girl character being a d—bag.)
