[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, OP, you would be happy for a woman to turn up for a date in scruffy clothes (perhaps man's sweats?), with a short man's haircut, no makeup, and smelling of man's shower gel and soap?

Because, "sexual revolution" aside, there is still a marked "female tax" markup on women's clothing, toiletries, and even hair treatments/cuts.  It costs a LOT more for a woman you take on a date to arrive looking presentable/good.  Do you want your wife to share your clothes, forgo makeup, and just hack off her hair into a mannish cut at the barber shop that won't take any more to keep up than your own?

I'm guessing that no, you have high standards for the physical appearance of a woman you date.[/quote]

I literally used to feel rage everytime I picked up the drycleaning, so now I make my husband do it.  If I tallied up the amount it costs to keep myself minimally presentable (i.e. not a ton of fancy or expensive makeup, quarterly haircuts, clothes) versus DH I would probably blow a gasket.[/quote]
