The woman in your life

The woman in your life may give you her heart, soul and, of course, her body, but still there's a part of her being that she'll never share with you ... stuff that makes her a mystery .

Yes, your woman is a den of mysteries hinted to you in her sly smile, enigmatic laughter or that sudden silence. She just pretends to be one, but is never an open book to you. Her deepest secrets are what add to her charm ... but render you an outsider in her own 'Secret Garden'. Secrets of her unshared yearnings, cherished fantasies or for that matter, a secret lover from the past...

From what is known of peeking into most women's diaries, the life of a woman seems synonymous with the life of a secret. What goes on inside a girl's mind usually fails to agree with her heart, leading her to hide a few things, not because she's afraid, but because she loves those things in her personal space.

While you may feel that your girl has divulged her most intimate experiences with you, she might be hiding her share of "fun experiments". Most women are afraid of being judged for their character, while others felt that sharing their 'dirty little secrets' would make their current partner insecure and jealous. Most men want to know, "Am I better than him?" and women find this very annoying.

You will never be able to break into the most classified realm of girl talk (unless you go undercover into a girls' room) where some of the most sizzling, spicy secrets are openly discussed with graphic juicy details! Most women who gave their opinions said that they would never tell their friend's secrets because it has nothing to do with their relationship with the guy. The inside scoop of a ladies night is your girl's place to vent. Sorry, men not allowed!

If you ever wondered how she manages to look so pretty all day long, it is obvious that you haven't seen where she keeps all of her cosmetic back-up. She wants you to keep wondering where the prettiness comes from and how it never goes. While some of you may be smart enough to know it's the make-up on her skin, your girl might prefer to cover up her anti-ageing cream, her under-eye make up or her pimple solutions!

Virginia Woolf so aptly quoted, "Love, the poet said, is a woman's whole existence."You know that she had a life pre-you. You know that she didn't spend all her days in a girl dorm before you saved your damsel in distress. And now you want to know whether she still feels anything about her past. However, a woman's heart will have the deepest of feelings that even she would never be able to decode. From what we gathered of the survey results, most women hide their true feelings about the ex-beau to save their current boyfriend from getting hurt. Interestingly, there's a flipside to this story! Some women said that they purposefully mentioned a few feelings about their ex-es to let the current partner know that the bar is set high for him.

Every time a woman has expressed her feelings about his sister being petty or his mother being overtly inquisitive, she's been accused of being insensitively provocative! It's as if she's trying to put him in a situation where he would have to make a choice. Over the years though, the entire race of fairer sex has become cautious of loosening their tongue over their true feelings for his clan members. The reason they all gave for camouflaging their opinions about his family - 'We don't want to be the ones to cause damage to the relationship!'
