34 Things All Girls Do But Will Never Admit

Last Updated on 9th July 2023

Being a girl is certainly no easy feat; what with boys, periods, friendships and careers, there are a plethora of things we have to deal with on a daily basis. Not to mention the fact that girls are actually a lot weirder than they claim to be and if you look closely enough, you’ll actually realise there are tonnes of weird things girls do but won’t admit!

If you’re wondering whether the women in your life are really as sweet as they claim to be, check out this list of all the things girls do but will never admit.

1. Having a Pinterest wedding board full of dresses, colour schemes and venues, even though you’re no where near at the stage of getting engaged. A girl’s gotta dream, right?
2. Only washing your makeup brushes when your face is starting to look pretty grim. Am I really supposed to do this every single week?!
3. Squeezing every spot you get, even if it’s only tiny. Also, squeezing your boyfriend’s spots because you’re just that disgusting.
4. Literally never, ever washing your bra.
5. Only cleaning out your hairbrush once it’s so full of hair that you literally can’t get it through your hair anymore.
6. Using spit to wipe your smudged eyeliner. Ain’t nobody got time to go to the bathroom with a cotton pad.
7. Gathering all of your hair that falls out in the shower and rolling it into a pile that you’ll inevitably leave on the shower wall.
8. Having the tiniest chip in your nail polish and resolving to just peel the whole thing off. Totes cute.
9. Discreetly smelling your armpit in public to check if that BO smell is coming from you or Smelly Steve.
10. Deciding to go on a diet on Monday. Getting to 11:45 am on said Monday and joining the rest of the office in a jaunt to McDonald’s. You only live once, right?
11. Only fake tanning the bits of skin you can actually see. What’s the point in doing my back if no one’s gonna see it?
12. One of the grossest, albeit totally true things girls do but won’t admit is enjoying plucking out ingrown hairs, no matter where on the body they are…
13. Totally not giving a sh*t when a piece of food falls into your cleavage and eating it anyway. You gross human being.
14. Immediately taking your bra off as soon as you get home.
15. Only shaving your ankles if your skinny jeans are a tad too short.
16. Randomly grabbing your boobs just because.
17. Sitting in the hairdresser’s chair and wondering if you’ve always looked like Voldemort’s ugly little sister.
18. Pausing to take a breath when you’ve run up the stairs. Being so ashamed that your fitness levels are absolutely dire.
19. Desperately trying to get away with not washing your hair for as long as possible.
20. Twiddling your mascara and playing with your mascara gloop. Wondering why your eyelashes are so short.
21. Yet another weird thing girls do but won’t admit is smelling the clothes they’ve worn for the last two days to check whether they can get away with wearing them for the third day in a row…
22. Eating food in bed and discovering crumbs the next morning. Nice.
23. Doing a face mask and watching all the crap come out of your pores. It might be disgusting but it’s weirdly satisfying.
24. Going to McDonald’s drive through in your pyjamas when you’re hungover on a Sunday morning. Zero f*cks are given.
25. Using perfume and deodorant instead of having a shower.
26. Being so drunk and forgetting to take your makeup off. Waking up the next morning with mascara and red lipstick smeared across your pillow.
27. Watching flashmob proposals on YouTube and absolutely balling your eyes out.
28. Taking 57 selfies only to find one picture that you like. Spend ages scrutinising that picture and end up deleting that one too.
29. Stalking people you went to school with on Facebook and Instagram. HOW ARE PEOPLE MY AGE PREGNANT AND GETTING MARRIED?!
30. Sending a message to the group chat before you send it to the actual recipient for the BFF approval.
31. Having far too many screenshots of the most random stuff on your phone. People’s tweets ready to send to your best friend? Check. Cute puppers? Check. Betty’s Beach bod for inspo? Check.
32. Tying your hair up in a (very uncool) messy topknot whenever you don’t have to look presentable because Y SO MUCH HAIR?!
33. Instantly regretting wearing high heels on a night out and wondering whether you’ll be able to walk properly again this is definitely something all girls do but will never actually admit because heels always look so much better than flats!
34. Always needing more sleep, regardless of how much sleep you actually get.
