She watches the creepy crime shows you love and learns to like your favorite teams to prevent dying of boredom while you watch two hours of baseball on a sunny Sunday. So rather than grabbing the remote or rolling your eyes and then walking away the next time your girl is watching TV, how ‘bout you give in a lil’ and watch some with her? Here’s a general synopsis of the shows she may be watching without you, and how not to kill yourself while “giving it a chance.”

7 Keeping Up With the Kardashians
kardashians tv show 135x95 7 annoying shows women watch (and how to survive them)Butters dubbed them “The most beautiful women in the world,” before accidentally having them murdered. So perhaps you, too, find these lovely, endorsement-whoring ladies physically attractive and can watch Keeping Up With the Kardashians on a purely visceral level. Or, you can watch the show and giggle with your GF at the nuggets of humor, delivered in high-pitched baby voices. As a last resort, consider it research for the American phenomenon of getting famous by doing absolutely nothing. We actually hear it has something to do with sex tapes and O.J. Simpson — now that just doesn’t sound right…

6 Sex and the City
sex and the city 135x95 7 annoying shows women watch (and how to survive them)Sure, it’s been off the air for seven years now. And the iconic cast has been raking in cash by partaking in horribly embarrassing movie sequels that lure the kind of women who dress their Chihuahuas in tiny outfits to theaters in flocks (and by starring in I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter ads). But this classic chick show still plays in strings of glorious reruns throughout major networks. The bottom line: you won’t be escaping this HBO-series following four women’s tumultuous dating lives in NYC anytime soon. Sound annoying? Oh Buster, you’ve got something to learn. No, seriously, you can learn something from the show. If you can get past the fashion-obsession and annoying puns, you might learn why women fake orgasms, are hesitant to talk dirty in bed, and are attracted to assholes (I’m looking at you, Big).

5 The Bachelor
bachelor 135x95 7 annoying shows women watch (and how to survive them)If you don’t already know the premise of this show, let’s summarize: Some 30-something year-old dude with literally no hair on his chest and washboard abs goes to a house in L.A. with like, thirty women who all seem really desperate to marry him, even if he’s kind of a dumb douche and some of women are hot, twenty-two and living in New York (why!?). Then Dude starts narrowing the women down to find the One he might or might not propose to at the end of the season by getting to know the female contestants at really awkward cocktail parties, where someone always inevitably gets wasted, and dates of his choosing — many of which involve helicopters. He eliminates them in a weird ritual created by the hetero-normative cult of ABC called a Rose Ceremony. It’s creepy.

Along this “journey to find love” (that’s taped over the duration of two months) the women involved connive and then stuff comes out in the media about them, like their affairs with NBA players. Shots of people pondering life while looking out of a window when it’s raining outside or standing on a scenic overlook disrupt bouts of crying or really fun dates, like riding elephants together in Thailand. Contestants say things like, “When there’s something so stressful happening, such as a Rose Ceremony…” and “I went out and bought so many gowns for this!” If this didn’t just convince you to check out The Bachelor and laugh at its subtle, thought-provoking ironies, I don’t know what will (hot women in helicopters and riding elephants and stuff!).

4 The Bachelorette
the bachelorette 135x95 7 annoying shows women watch (and how to survive them)(Yes, this gets its own bullet point.) Due to massive insecurities brewing in this season’s fragile, dancing Bachelorette, and the sociopathic, but sort of hilarious man-villain named Bentley, (who allegedly went on the show to promote his business — a family fun center), the show this go-‘round has been hard for everyone to watch. Join your girl for a much-needed Bachelorette-themed drinking game. Sip your drank anytime the word “fairytale” or “amazing” is uttered. Chug when they talk about “being there for the right reasons.” You’ll be surprisingly shitfaced merely halfway through.

3 Teen Mom
teen mom1 135x95 7 annoying shows women watch (and how to survive them)Alert! Alert! This isn’t the same show as 16 and Pregnant Teen Mom is spun off of this series. But 16 is probably the most depressing show on cable, other than the modern Miss America pageants and your creepy shows about child serial killers. High school girls get knocked up, their boyfriends couldn’t give a shit (which makes for a really uncomfortable character dynamic), and then you see a teenager give birth in the end while crying/sweating off all her poorly drawn eyeliner. It’s a tragedy. Teen Mom is also watching-a-car-wreck-and-can’t-look-away-ish. It also has memorable characters, frequent arrests, and a woman taking out a loan to get a boob job, ahem, to make an “investment” in her modeling career, though. Ever wanted to be a dad? Take notes throughout on how not to be a good parent (see: anything the teen moms and dad’s ‘rents do).

2 Real Housewives

1 Anything on ABC Family
prettylittleliars 135x95 7 annoying shows women watch (and how to survive them)Well, this is just upsetting: We can’t name one male over the age of eight in our network who voluntarily watches anything on this channel. Adult women? The list doesn’t seem to have a finite number…

This might be something she’d happily compromise when you come into the room because she realizes she is not eight, or she may be like, “So what, my 12-year old cousin told me about Pretty Little Liars and now I can’t stop watching — go watch porn and leave me alone.” Perhaps this category can also be applicable to other shows targeted at teenagers like Gossip Girl and 90210. (Though, frankly, those are more risqué than anything on the network that once featured a movie called The Dog Who Saved Christmas Vacation, co-starring a sassy poodle voiced over by Paris Hilton.)

For these wonderful programs, crack open a beer, and humor your lady-friend by trying to keep track of the dramatic plot that always seems a little too familiar and that involves way too many characters as she explains it to you. Ask questions, like, “Who’s that?” and then maybe give up and take her up on the offer and watch some porn.

Well there’s still hope, when you get older and wiser like I did, you’ll watch shows that improve your brain and rational thinking skills. Try documentaries, there’s so many, I’m sure you’ll find something to enlighten you.

Wow, Dorothy, you like Ninja Warriors. That is a a good show if there are not creepy serial killer shows on to watch. Personal preferences … I will not watch anything on the above list, period, final word, that is it. I would rather go get a can of paint and dab a little on something and watch it dry first. It is more exciting and has more character than all of those shows combined.

Good post Cindy

Cindy, perfect choices. I confess to the world, however, that I am addicted to Gorden Ramsay and Bridezillas. We all have our faults.

I also like professional wrestling , Ninja Warrior, and the World’s Strongest Man competition. Don’t get me started about my Law & Order addiction.
