Why do some women give up on their appearance

[Maha]

I have recently discovered that I have a talent for shaving ladies heads. I am happy to oblige PB.

Use some baby oil Al..Jo will love you even more....rub very very slowly

Just to be clear, we talking about her head or mine?

[avgas]

probably similar to how 'She' feels, when she sees you all 'dressed up' (Clean jeans, Clean shirt (ironed), showered, shaved, and actually looking smart in a casual way,,, then when she gets you undressed.... OMG there in all it's glory,,, wrapped up in a pair of the Warehouse's/K-mart's best, Once were white, fly front, baggy, stained, shapeless, worn and holed old man style boxers, she thinks... "you want ME to eat THAT"????

Nah that is more like Subway.
Eat fresh.

(insert footlong joke here)

As for women looking like men? Scuse me, you mean they are wearing trousers? and flat shoes? and have a stylish short haircut? and no makeup?

....to please some random geezer who has got ideas about feminity dating straight back to the fifties?

sorry, a lot of us women folks just can't be arsed

And that is fine, women are entitled to make their choices.

However please do not delude yourself: men desire femininity in women and have done for aeons. The concept has nothing to do with the 1950s or the 1850s. It is about physical attractiveness and women understand that far better than men.

Most women do appear to take the time to present themselves as attractively as possible. In fact I'd say that is tougher to do today than 40 years ago given the thin images of models and popular celebrities we are exposed to daily.

Short hair works on some women but generally there is a risk of an asexual look. But hair just touching the shoulders is not long or hard to maintain and is a signature of being feminine.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Oh is THAT where it is - no wonder I cant find it....

Miss Vicki is getting to the 'I wonder if I should stop dying my hair and go grey?' point. ie there has been some discussion and a strong NO from the daughters.... (which will possibly prompt a 50 shades of grey event - no not that one)

I understand where she is coming from - we have a few 'artistic - mother earthy' friends who look stunning with grey tones in their hair. But on the otherhand I know where she is coming from in that she does NOT want that washed out dried up 'witchy' look ;-(

Its a tough question...

One thing that astounded me as the father of 3 girls was how few women have ever been shown how to put on makeup properly. If you are concerned about your significant others look then a gift voucher to a demonstration day at the over priced pharmacy isnt a bad idea. Usually there is the value of the ticket in product (at RRP) but it makes life easier having a formula to follow...

To be fair it's nt just (some) women who let themselves go - seen any of the "people of walmart" vids on YouTube?

The other day I was blocked by a woman on the escalator in a Westfield Mall.
The back-boobs were just massive and going by the strain on the brastrap (low cut dress to show off those "curves" seemed to be her thought of the day) it must have been using alien technology to resist the strain put on it.

I couldn't decide if I should phone Greenpeace or simply get to the fishing section of the mall and try to find a speargun large enough to harpoon it.

The mother of my oldest son I met in rehab, what a fuckin nightmare.

Bwhahahaha .. didn't anyone warn you about women in rehab ... The number of gorgeous but fucked up women I've seen in Hamner Springs ....

The number of gorgeous but fucked up women I've seen in Hamner Springs ....

And thats just the wealthy ones with holiday homes

I'd actually love to try the bald look as my scalp has no lumps or dents or weird shapes that I can feel but I don't know if I could rock the Sinead O'Connor look...

IMHO .. that can be one of the sexiest look on a woman ...

First, let me thank you for accepting the novel idea that women are ENTITLED to make their own choices. This is very generous of you, and I can only imagen that it would have taken you some time to come to the decision, that truly Females are full human beings able to decide their lifes. I know it was only yesterday when women of all ages were either property of their fathers or their husbands, and in absence of a husband, could choose life in convent.

Being a women in the first place is a sign of the feminine, just as being a man is a sign of being the masculine. One can discuss that some people have a bit more of the one or the other....but in general it is what it is. (disclaimer: this statment has got nothing to do with sexual attraction and orientation.)

You might have a belive that a women with short hair might risk an asexual look, and she might not appear be sexually attractive to you.....shit happens, most females on this planet will get up in the morning and NOT think oh what outfit, hairdo and shoes would Winston001 find sexually attractive. If you have one that will always get up in the morning and dress to please you, you should consider yourself lucky.

These articles about women not looking after themselves, or looking to much after themselves, or being to butch, or to whiney and needy....should all be thrown into the gutter. Shame on women for being to attractive, not attractive enough, to sexual, not sexual enough, to thin, not thin enough.....WTF? Really? WTF.

the movie was crap, but Demi Moore shaving her head.....priceless.

Something has changed in KB. Many moons ago this thread would have ended up with:
a) Asians
b) nice looking boobs
or
c) Women painting roofs

Instead all we have is shaved heads and man-boobs.

What the fuck happened KB? What the fuck happened?
