You're doing something simple - squats, jogging, plank - and suddenly you realize that you can do a little more. And then that feeling of a small victory appears. It seems to give you the right to walk with your head held high, even if no one knows about it 😉

Not because they are evil or want to hurt someone, but it's just easier that way. It's easier to smile, nod and remain silent than to say what's in your heart. And yes, this applies not only to men 😉

These two words are like a quiet shot 🎯. A man doesn't even notice how they sound, but in my head a full-length film 🎬 is already unfolding. "Just tired" - and that's it, you can close the topic. But no, the female brain doesn't work like that 😏. We don't put a period, we start the whole mechanism with an acceleration of a thousand revolutions per minute 🚀.

Flowers? 🌹 Champagne? 🍾 A trifle. All this is beautiful only in movies and pictures on Instagram. But in real life, where coffee in the morning is sometimes replaced by warm water ☕, and for dinner there can be pasta with "fantasy sauce" from what's left in the fridge, romance smells like... bread 🥖. Warm, still soft, from the bakery around the corner.

Men love this phrase 😏. It’s short, safe, and makes them feel like they’re still “good guys” 💼. In reality, it often hides a simple truth: “I don’t want to” 🚫. I don’t want to text. I don’t want to date. I don’t want to waste energy on this woman right now.

Have you ever noticed how some men proudly say: “I’m simple”? 😊 It should sound like a virtue — like, no extra hassle, honest, open. But in reality 😬 it often turns into a convenient excuse, behind which hides… laziness. 💤

He says, “I don’t need a relationship,” and sits across from me in the kitchen, watching me cut a lemon 🍋 for tea. His smile seems calm, but his eyes already give away that he’s going to stay late 😉. I know this scenario by heart: first, light chatter, then “well, let’s have a glass of wine” 🍷 and, of course, that very moment when he suddenly appears nearby, closer than necessary…

Men love to wrap the truth beautifully in a wrapper 🎁. The phrase "I'm not ready for something serious" sounds soft, almost caring, as if he's worried that you don't have any illusions 🤷‍♀️. But behind it hides a simple and cold "you're not the one for whom I'm ready to give up my bachelor luxury."

Sometimes I catch myself thinking that youth smells different for everyone. For some, it's the smell of fresh paint in a dorm and cheap coffee at dawn, and for others, it's the scent of perfume absorbed into a pillow after a crazy night. I've always loved watching people at parties: someone dancing as if the world will end tomorrow, someone hiding in a corner with a glass, pretending to listen to music, although in fact they are just studying other people's movements.
