To understand a modern woman is not so difficult, as men like to lament. For this, it is not at all necessary to climb into her head, into her soul or into the closet in search of a solution to her secret desires and lusts. It's enough just to look at the women's forum and scroll through the topics. Topics that are actively discussed, better than serious sociological studies, show that, in fact, today worries about women. So what is it? Career, family or beautiful figure?
The statistics of search engine statistics and popular topics of discussion are eloquent in themselves. This is how the approximate scale of values of a modern woman, based on the data of several popular women's publications and forums, looks.
Weight loss 40,5%
Even in the last century, the word diet was associated exclusively with gastritis, liver disease, steam cutlets and Borjomi. Today, this is the natural state of every woman watching herself. Strongly imbedded in the minds of the imposed mass media standards of beauty are pushing women to monstrous from the point of view of medicine and common sense experiments on their own organism. "Ideal" forms require an unshakable willpower, a belief in oneself, enthusiasm and ... time. And all this is spent searching the Internet for diets and exercises, discussing them again on the Internet or at work, reading thematic books and magazines. But the time to deal with these miracle programs is, of course, not enough. But there is always a topic for an interesting conversation.
Not so long ago, manipulations with his face, figure and body were considered personal, intimate and not discussed with anyone. Neither with a friend, nor with a colleague, nor, God forbid, with her husband. Today it is the most popular topic in the women's media. True, more and more condemns uncontrolled weight loss and promotes a healthy diet and lifestyle, but this is discussed with the same fervor and enthusiasm that ...
Relationships 22%
This topic is as old as the world. Love, jealousy, betrayal, loss ... But if earlier (still, by the way, in the last twentieth century), emotions and passions raged mainly in the soul or in literature and art, giving mankind immortal masterpieces of creativity and thought, but today a stormy and not always the pure stream of human passions pours on us basically mass media and the Internet. Women are still eagerly reading about the personal life of both famous people and "ordinary mortals," but they are discussing their family and intimate life, and others, no longer embarrassed by the public expression of their feelings and emotions. Perhaps they are looking for answers to eternal questions, trying on someone else's experience, but their frankness and frankness of the great thinkers of the past would shock. "To be or not to be" a woman does not care. Undoubtedly, be. The question is, with whom and where is he still? Well, of course, often, the next question arises: Lord, why do I need all this and what to wear?
Beauty 11%
Today this is a topic, first of all, about the beauty of the outside, and not about the soul, although women and put it, of course, higher. We love to talk about the vanity of efforts to change for better if not the world, then at least its imperfect exterior, but give this vanity not a small part of our time and means. We want to like. We just need it. Moreover, mass media, advertising and cosmetic firms greedily surrender and seduce with ease of decisions. What, are you still lonely? It's all about the hairstyle! Buy a new shampoo - and happiness itself will fall right into your hands. Just do not forget the manicure. And a cream from wrinkles, and then on sharieja it is similar! No, we do not believe in advertising. But ... and suddenly? And women tirelessly look for this magic tool that will make them beautiful, and therefore, happy.
Pregnancy 10%
This is a bit surprising, but the period of happy, exciting waiting and preparation for the appearance of the baby excites women more than the result itself. Future mummies quite reasonably consider themselves to be "the navel of the earth", and the navel increases rather quickly, reaching a huge trimester to the last trimester. At this time, women are worried only about their mental state, health, "inner life" and future births. To distract and forget that you are pregnant is almost impossible. And very often pregnant women do not allow to forget about this to anyone.
Animals 5%
Yes, the thematic magazines, websites and forums for the care and maintenance of pets are much more than resources dedicated to the upbringing of children. Undoubtedly, pets deserve a tender, gentle and attentive attitude and love. But there is a little disturbing thought. If there is so much attention and love for animals, then someone else clearly misses them. And, perhaps, these "someone" is very close.
Needlework 5%
It is amazing in this fact that someone else is engaged in needlework. Most recently, this occupation was almost vital and economically justified. Today it is more of a hobby and creativity. Knitting and embroidering are no longer fashionable and often cause ridicule of a young and active part of women, but there is hardly any woman in Russia who never took a spoke. And although the economy and domesticity do not stand in the list of indispensable female virtues of modern men, ladies will always look for something to apply their skillful hands.
Cooking 3%
This can be a very exciting activity, but a modern woman is not ready to give him too much of her strength and time. If only this is not an obligatory part of the most pressing problem called "Weight Loss". The women think less and less, what would be so delicious and useful to feed the husband and children. And more and more worried about the calorie content of food, the content of fats and carbohydrates and their negative impact on their own, still imperfect figure.
Household 0.8%
No, of course, we love and care for our children and give them a full 17 minutes of their time a day! That is how much, counted psychologists, spends the woman on education of the child. To communicate with him and education, and not for feeding, dressing, bathing and walking with the child in the shops. We are happy and proud to talk about our children, we show their photos and achievements and are very little interested in educational and development programs for them, relying more on nature and own experience. And the older the child becomes, the less we worry about him and less talk. Alas, but to dedicate your life to family and children ... is not fashionable.
Sport 0.6%
Sports excites lovely ladies, again, just like, unfortunately, a necessary part of the first paragraph of this list of values. Artistic gymnastics, basketball and hockey are of little interest, long ago giving way to aerobic exercise and isotonic exercise.
Household 0.8%
This topic if worried about women, so only with respect to her husband, namely, as a glaring discrepancy spent on it, farming it, time it and her husband. Since the first time women asked a rhetorical question, why should I do everything alone, this topic has moved from a household category to a social section and is being discussed hotly and practically daily. And not only at home in the kitchen, but also in the media. But since this question, as already mentioned, is rhetorical, there is no answer to it and can not be. Therefore, the topic of life at the end of the list of women's priorities and, I think, will disappear from the agenda in the near future.
Culture 0.3%
This concept in the list of topics and interests of women is determined by favorite series, films, novels, popular music and to the least extent to all the others that unite this word. No, this does not mean that modern women are not interested in culture, art and even science. Simply after an exhausting diet, finding out the relationship with a loved one, going shopping, visiting a cosmetologist, raising children and dogs, making outfits, painting pots and, God, they do not have time to clean and cook again.
Perhaps someone will notice that in this list of topical topics there is no career and education that so much mean today for a woman. But this is justified. Women, who are interested in business and career, as a rule, nothing more of the above is not interested. Therefore, the scale of values they have is completely different.
Undoubtedly, there are women who have other priorities: family, spirituality, culture. They are not interested in beautiful things, melodrama and weight loss. But, maybe, they just do not tell anyone about this?
