I'll keep this essay short and brief. You may have noticed women wearing Airpods or wireless earphones everywhere they go. The secret is that majority of the time they're not actually listening to music or anything. I realized this when I started seeing women having full on conversations with each other and most of them had Airpods on. They usually have Airpods on their ears as a fashion statement or because they're lazy to take them out every time. I have approached about a dozen girls with Airpods, and later in the conversation I have ask them what they're listening to on their Airpods. I have gotten the following responses:

  • " I forget to take them off"
  • "I keep them on so others don't think I'm broke"
  • "Oh, im not listening to anything, its in case I go on Snap and see a video"
  • "I keep them on in case I have to Facetime my friends"
  • "In case my Mom calls me and I don't want to find them".
  • "I guess its just a fashion trend, I don't really know why".
  • "I dunno, but no guys ever talk to me, so why take them off?"

In the past it was common for women to wear wired headphones in public because they wanted to avoid conversation. But these days wireless headphones are portable and many wear them all day like earnings for several reasons. My theory is that women who wear Airpods are unconsciously shit testing to see who has the confidence to talk to them. but don't assume just because a woman wears wireless headphones that she is in her own world. If you see a woman wearing Airpods, assume she is wearing them as earrings and go approach!
