“I glance down at my super low-rise Diesel jeans and the cropped halter top that leaves at least six inches of my stomach exposed, and I’m secretly thrilled at how toned my abs look, even after a night of drinking, despite being covered in goosebumps.”

“Christy is always hungry and constantly snacking on something or talking about what she just ate or what she plans to eat, which is rarely healthy. But the perplexing and only slightly annoying part of the equation is that Christy is super thin and claims to barely work out.”

“Janet is one of those women who doesn’t like other women. I can’t tell if it’s because of the whole glass ceiling thing where she thinks that there’s only time for one woman at the top, so everyone else is her competition, or if she’s the type who never got along with other girls, even in elementary school. But whatever it is, it sucks.”

“A girl who looks about my age opens the door. I know that I should mentally think of her, and of myself, as a woman, but I still refer to and think of all my friends as girls.”

“I focus on my flawless complexion (thanks to good genetics), my bewilderingly perky D-cup boobs (also good genetics), and my muscular legs (which look better in heels). These three attributes keep me from fixating on my wide hips and somewhat doughy stomach.”

“I try not to be too obvious as I scan her visible six-pack, and then I catch sight of her nipples poking almost indecently through her shirt and assure myself that I’m not the only one staring.”

“Also, you can tell she wants to eat, but she basically only eats salad and works out a ton. Although I guess that’s better because if she looked liked that and she ate pizza every night and never went to the gym, I’d truly hate her.”

“There seems to be an unfortunate stereotype when it comes to engineers, especially female engineers, and even more so when people think of female engineering students at MIT. However, Mallory does not adhere to any of those ridiculous stereotypes. She’s tall, blonde, and objectively attractive -although not my type.”

“Kendra’s outfit and overall look should be ridiculous, but she’s pulling it off judging by the appreciative glances from several men at the tables around us.”

“She’s the one who will make me whole again and let me trust again -I know that I’ll never have the same issues with sex and intimacy that I’ve had with other women these past years.”

“Although Paula is still a very attractive woman, she’s the kind of woman you can tell used to be gorgeous and is fighting the aging process every step of the way. My guess is that she’s about fifty, and even though I don’t like her, I must admit that she looks good for fifty, even if it’s somewhat artificial. She gets constant facial peels and fillers and dresses like she’s always ready for happy hour. I think she’d look much better if she just accepted her age.”
