Men NEVER have to put on all this nail strengthener on their nails to get them grow without breaking. You never see that do you?
...
The same goes for hair. Men don't usually put a bunch of goop in their hair to make it grow stronger or all this outside of shampoo to clean it. Women make a big production out of it with all of this artifice and rig-up to get the perfect hair. Men just cut it and then forget about it. Outside of incidences of male pattern baldness our hair just comes back strong as ever. It might have to do with testosterone and other hormones strong in the male, I don't know.
I don't know. I know dudes whose nails peel, and if more dudes actuallylet their nails grow long, more dudes would have problems with chipping. My nails are very, very strong, until they reach a certain length. Fortunately, i don't desire long nails. Corporate or "sport" length is ideal to me. I like the look of a french manicure, and so that is what I do.
Most men's hair that I've touched has been really awful. Please use conditioner. Just using shampoo is a crappy idea. Most of the men I've known with long hair asked a woman how to grow it that way. The ones who didn't had spilt ends, flyaways, dandruff, the strands felt weak and britttle, and most of all very, very dry. My dude's in the military and keeps his hair short (though it does grow exponentially faster than mine). But when we first met, his hair felt awful to the touch, even though it looked beautiful (shiny, thick). After we began showering together, I found out why. No conditioner. Another dude I dated had hair that looked as dry and gross as it felt. he actually used Ivory soap to wash his hair! Yikes! I got both of these men using conditioner, as well as several other exes with hair in varied states of crisis. I hate to keep disagreeing with you about everything, but I'm gonna do it again!
Isn't it ironic that women seek to emulate features strongest in the male to appear more feminine? History will show you how much of our cultural practices are truly strange and temporal in a fashion sense.
This is true of high heels, which were first for men.
Also make-up is modernly a female mask. Used to hide insecurities or put on an image that they hope to attract with. It's not really that good for the skin. I really wish more women would wear less makeup, honestly. I'm not here to date Bozo the Clown. Hahahahaha!
I wear it for myself. I love everything about my cosmetics from the way they smell to the process of removal. I used to sell make up, and I used to be upheld to the other women as our version of "a natural beauty". Usually, unless I've had to hurry, you'd never guess that I wear concealer, powder base, eyebrow pencil (after shaving a portion of my eyebrows) two shades of blush, four shades of eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, lip liner, lipstick, and lip gloss. Of course, I don't wear all those items every day, but many days I do. And my make up is very nourishing and good for my skin. Not the mascara. The mascara is not good for my eyelashes at all. Other than that though, it's good for the skin. Of course, I don't buy 99 cent products.
Ok, makeup...
Chick I knew from a bar, hadn't seen her "dressed down" before.
She was one of the "hot chicks" at the bar, all face-icing and all. Saw her in the jeans, T-Shirt, w/o the makeup.. and FUUUCK.. she's a girl who should NOT wear makeup... She also went apeshit on me when I told her she looked MUCH better w/o the accessories/makeup. Ah well, so much for being honest.
I would have told you off too. Odds are, her make up and accesories are not for you, but for her. Mind your business. :tongue:
I remember I was putting on make up in my friends car while waiting for her to run some errand or other. I was puttingg on concealer, eyeliner, mascara, and clear lip gloss. This is my minimum. Some dude came up to the car and told me something along the lines of women enhancing the make up instead of the other way around, or something like that. I smiled and went back to what I was doing. He kept trying to get me to stop applying make up. (What would he have said if I were home, with good light putting on the full works?) I began to ignore him, annoyed that he was intruding on a ritual I find soothing and energizing. he was very attractive, and he tried to flirt, but I was happier by myself, playing with my eyelash curler, waiting for my eyeliner to dry.
I was resentful. I felt like he was trying to change me. I wouldn't be surprised if that's exactly ho your bar acquaintance felt.
