If you want to live like this, totally fine! But please don't disparage women who feel differently.Not all women want to spend time doing eyebrow pencils and lipstick. And my long thick hair takes way longer than 10 minutes to dry and style."

I'm the person who wrote that and I've got the thickest hair of anyone I know in DC, and it falls below my shoulders. Get a good cut and style that doesn't take forever to do every other day. Learn how to use dry shampoo.

Cool. Not all of us have the same hair.   No way my thick hair dries AND looks nice in 10 minutes.[/quote]

I agree. He!!, I have thin hair and it takes longer than 10 minutes to dry and style.  [/quote]

The dry shampoo lady just proved the old adage that women dress up for other women, not for their spouses.  She was the most critical person on the thread. [/quote]

Whatever.  Women dress up for men.  Do you think a community made solely of women would regularly diet and use daily eyebrow pencils?  
Do you know a lot of lesbians who do?[/quote]

I attend many professional events for women only. They are dressed and primped to the max, even more so than the same event when everyone attends.[/quote]

Really?  
What kind of profession?  
I played sports in college and have been to a women in medicine conference and a knitting conference, and no one was dressed up at any of it. 
 I’m kind of fascinated by this other world that I don’t have contact with.   [/quote]

I’m not surprised by medicine and obviously knitting. Most of my doctor friends don’t dress up despite any old stereotypes.

Think law/finance but even when there STEM types[/quote]

I mean, I’m a doctor.  I went to this conference with my doctor friends and I go to other conferences with doctors.

Women were considerably less dressed up when there were no men around.  And much, much less dressed up than when we go out with our husbands.  [/quote]

Why is it important information that you played sports in college?  It was not really relevant except to say “I am/was very sporty and healthy” So, you may not be judging women by their mascara, eyeliner and heels, but you are judging them on fitness levels.  [/quote]

I didn’t mean it that way.  I meant to say that I spent 30+ hours a week in a group of women with no men around (and we managed to deal with spiders).
