Heh. My mom tells me frequently how much BETTER she likes my hair long.
I have to work really hard to not point out that my hair isn't All About Her.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Maybe that's one of the places where you don't need to work so hard. I mean really, what would it hurt to say that?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's not quite the same thing, though. I don't think I'll ever run the risk of a guy cutting his hands off.
But you could date a lean guy who became buff, or a guy whose love handles you loved who lost them -- as women we have a lot more "optional" bits, but still. I think as humans we can get attached to stuff.
It's off to get attached to things before you even meet someone, and then miss it when they lose it (or suggest that they gain it, to make you happy) -- that definitely bugs me. But plain enjoying what's there, and missing it when it's gone -- well, I have insisted a guy grow back a beard, and I don't feel slightly bad about it. He wasn't that attached to the barefaced look, so it wasn't a struggle.
And I do so like a guy in a goofy half-ponytail, even when I know it isn't the most flattering cut. It makes me smile. I like smiling. I like when hot guys make me smile.
I just don't ask them to keep doing so on my behalf.

Always Anti-fascist!
God, still can't get over the chick on Dr. Phil that won't give blow jobs and calls it disgusting. Admittedly, she probably didn't grow up thinking she was a sexual cypher and then find out that her mouth, yes, that one, could do *that*. I have a powerful connection to that practice.(My mom would hate it if I told Dr. Phil, though.) But if you love him, don't you love his dick?

Art Crawl!!!
I am so pissed off right now.
I was supposed to go to a lovely lunch but one of our professional staff members sent our student worker off to an event without giving any notice so I had to cancel my reservation with less than 10 minutes to go and I'm just so angry.

True, but it's not even worth it.

I dated a guy who absolutely did not want a blow job. (He had issues. Oh boy, did he EVER have issues.)

I feel like devil's advocate girl today -- I'm sure it's the migraine and the lack of cocoa talking -- but there may be guys using similar lines to justify a dirty sanchez or something else I consider outside my own personal portfolio. Most of us have boundaries. Most of us don't love every cell of our partner's body or excreta thereof to do everything with it. It's her and her boyfriends problems where her line falls.
