The age-old question: Do boys and girls experience outings differently? Spoilers alert: One is a rollercoaster ride and the other is a well curated work of art. The idea of fun for both differ; right from planning a party to the outcome, in amusingly profound ways. Girls’ hangouts are as carefully planned operations as military strikes while boys’ hangouts are more like random dodge games. So, are you a girl trying to plan a fun hangout? Well, then let’s start planning right away, because it will take three months to come through. You’re a boy? Well, let’s party tomorrow!

A challenge of sorts
Girls: Look, we only have three months, not a lot of time to think about the guest list, reservations, venue, theme, food, activities, decorations, colour scheme… ( Phew! this list is endless so let’s just move on). We need to be so planned that even if Godzilla suddenly decides to crash our party, we are ready!
Boys: What planning? Just call everyone, order pizza and hey, get Spotify and Xbox and we are done. Everything planned! And, by the way, Godzilla is a mere fiction. So just chill!

Planning in progress
Girls: First things first! A theme for the party. What about ‘A tropical paradise’? Sounds good. (Well, definitely there were more suggestions. What were you thinking? After all, it’s girls’ party. And it doesn’t end here.) Let’s make a Pinterest board about the vision for this beach themed party. Everything needs to be planned precisely!
Boys: A theme? ‘Just chill!’- Well, there it is - as spontaneous as the party. Let’s have some good food, good music, a good time, and leave the rest to the flow.

Get set go
Girls: An invitation on a beautiful floral pink colour handmade paper- like a mood board. What do you think?
Boys: Just send them a text- ‘party at 7, you know where?’ They’ll understand. (Just a little secret they will arrive by 8.)

One for the buffet
Girls: For food, let’s order from the gourmet restaurant. It’s a little pricey, but it’s worth it.
Boys: Pizzas are good! Get us anything that is edible.
Girls: But let’s be real. The games should be beach related. Fun, unique, and planned.
Boys: The new Xbox is sick!

The aftermath
Girls’ party: (After three months) Meticulously planned to the last sprinkle! Beautifully decorated, smelling of sweet candles, matching colour schemes, well-choreographed music, theme coordinated outfits, amazing food, and of course, group selfies every five minutes. Never short of drama.
Boys’ party: Zero planning, clean clothes, random music, and impulsive competitive challenges. Never short of chaos.

Perhaps, the girls could care a little less and the boys need to care a little more. In reality, if boys and girls collaborate one can expect pure entertainment where spontaneous entertainment meets organisational perfection leading to one magnificent goal: maximum fun!
