this was a great post from the fightergirls forum. . .
and I thought it was just me. . .
A spinoff of "you know your a redneck"...
There are a lot of weird little thins that distinguish you from "norml girls" and it will be fun to hear what everyone comes up with. Thought of this as I was rummaging through my purse, which leads me to
#1 You know you are a female MMA fighter when: You carry your mouthpiece in your purse "just in case" a training opportunity arises...
You have to stop wearing skirts and shorts because your legs are so bruised up you look like a crack whore...
You can no longer have long nails...
When you go to the salon to get your hair cut, you can't just get anything, you have to get something that can be pulled back in a pony tail and look good, and so your hair doesn't get in your eyes...
The only reason you care about your weight is to make sure you are able to make weight...
People ask you if you are driving your "boyfriends car" because it is covered in Tapout and other fight stickers....
You have become a makeup artist because you have had to learn how to cover up those black eyes from training for work...
You use Albolene for cutting weight instead of as a makup remover...
Your training partners absolutely don't recognize you in your street clothes and done up....
You used to wear small shirts, but now have to wear medium or large because they don't fit your shoulders and biceps...

Here are a couple more posts to YOU KNOW YOU ARE AN MMA FIGHTER:
You have to wear obvious fight girl t-shirts when out with your significant other so they're not accused of domestic abuse.
when the men you train with no longer ask if you are okay if they catch you with a good shot but ask you not to hurt them
pedicures are off limits because you worked WAY too hard for those calluses
When you refuse to put makeup on during the day because you'll only have to take it off when you get to the gym.
When you use cocoa butter instead of vaseline for you pre-fight lube job because it is non-comodogenic (won't clog your pores)
