But it seems to me that very many guys assume that most women will tweeze, pluck and shave, and that's what women do, and that's how women will look.
Ah. There I think you're right- though honestly, if it's not an outstanding feature, they'll likely never know if you don't tweeze, pluck or shave. I have been known to go a while without shaving my legs because the hair there is blonde and fine- no one but Mr. H would ever know, and he doesn't get to tell me to shave until he thinks about ridding himself of the mountain man look. I just waxed my brows and stuff this weekend, and I had to tell him I had even after he saw Waxnhair in the trash.
I don't wear my shiny red shoes to work because I know just about every person would have to comment on them and it would get so tiresome. Yes, they are red. Yes, bright red. Yes, they are kinda funky. However, out and about, I don't mind a random stranger complimenting me on them, or asking where I got them.
I have had more comments about unshaven legs from women than I have from men.
This is me. I'm currently shaving but during my fuzzy years I had an angry old lady accost me in the street and, I kid you not, point at my legs and squeak, "Thats. Thats just not. Natural!"
It seemed that most women who gave me a hard time were vexed by the "if I have to suffer, you should too" phenom. It was pretty sad.
Glitter fans beware: Deputy sues Florida hospital after receiving injection of glitter in the ass.
OK, that is just so weird. How could you
accidentally
fill a syringe with glitter instead of Demerol?
a generality can be so general as to be meaningless
And some aren't -- are you saying this one
is
meaningless? That's a completely different point from it not being universally applicable.
I have red shiny patent leather wedges. I know they are Shoes with a capital S.
my Dh is sitting in the corner with Betsy's and Jessica's husbands. Which is good, because I really don't spend a lot of time worrying about getting dressed. Usually if I plan on being anywhere other than the neighborhood I look pulled together. or at least co-ordinate.
speaking of which I need to shower and get dressed for work.
bah
I'm saying there is no sentence that starts "Guys like" that I'm going to find plausible.
It's just.... too big a sample set. You can't draw a smooth curve.
If the world generalized to my boyfriend, there would be guys whose preferences seem completely unimpinged [that isn't even a word, is it] by social expectations. An example:
"your eyeliner looks nice!"
"I'm not wearing eyeliner. Do you mean eye shadow?"
"Maybe?"
"Are you just saying that because you can tell I'm wearing eye shadow?"
"Well, I see sparkles."
