Does love transform women so they’re more feminine?

[Anonymous]

I notice this among girlfriends of mine upon meeting their serious SOs. While single they are super feminist, short hair, punk type, liberal girls. The minute they fall in Love it’s feminine dresses, flowers, and being wifely.

It’s such a sudden change!
Why does this happen?

[Anonymous]

Nature.

That didn’t happen to any women I know.

Maybe it’s insecurity or immaturity in the women you know.

Not that I know of.

Nice troll--I've got to give you creativity points, at least.

I hope love transforms you into someone who:
-Has a life that's too full to worry about what others are doing
-Can at least be tolerant of those different from you
-Be more confident in who you are so you don't feel the need to bash others

I notice the opposite, everyone cuts their hair short and starts wearing sweats.

I started being more “wifely” by cooking more. Not because I wanted to settle down, but because I love cooking and it’s better when you have someone else to feed.

I agree... I feel transformed around a manly man. Saw some hunk at the pool yesterday and I was all big smiles and subtle dainty poses. and the opposite is true, men puff their chests and lower their voices around attractive women. No sources... just experience.

Plead elaborate on “subtle dainty poses”. I have absolutely no idea what this would look like.

OP, in my experience, the women you describe marry other women.

hahah, like standing with one hip out, or one shoulder out (hand on hip). pointing your toes when crossing your legs (swear it's not intentional, just an observation). also I noticed I was walking slowly out of the pool, and picking up my feet, not splashing out like a rhino. My sister was there with me and we lit up around this hunk, it was crazy. He looked like Doug K. the weather guy

No.

My husband marched next to me.
