Truly baffling that a woman doing things to please her partner somehow deserves condemnation. Let's ask these critical women how they react when their husband's ignore their desires and preferences.[/quote]

What’s baffling to me is why none of you ask yourselves why women are doing all this while men do next to nothing.  Really no reflection on that?

Think how much of your life and your $ you spend on this and then picture what your husband does with all his free time when he’s not doing any of this.

And by the way, I participate.  I buy makeup and put it on and buy clothes that aren’t always comfortable and cram myself in uncomfortable shoes and spend time at the hair dresser getting highlights and blow my hair dry a lot of the time with all my hair products.  That is the tip of the iceberg of what some women are doing.

But at least have some level of awareness this is kind of all bullshit and conveniently women are the ones doing all this to be “attractive”.  It’s not women hating other women to point this out.  [/quote]

Sorry you married a dud. I control my eating habits to stay trim. I work out 5 days a week to stay toned. I spend time figuring out what colors of clothing look good on me. I spend time and money finding clothes that look sharp and fit well or having them altered to fit well (and in case you are unaware, and I'm guessing you are, good men's clothes are generally lot more expensive than comparable women's clothes because of the tailoring involved). I get haircuts regularly, far more often than she does. I select hair products that allow me to style my hair nicely without feeling or smelling weird. I pay attention to the deodorants and colognes I use. I shave my face and trim other parts regularly, especially if I expect that I'll be engaging physically. I go to therapy and read books about emotions and interpersonal relationships because I didn't get any of that shit growing up and needed to learn it later in life. And I do all this in response to her feedback - if she doesn't love a scent or a hair style, I abandon it and do something else. I'm not claiming I spend as much time on all this as she does, but I make a serious effort, and so does she, and that helps us both feel like the other respects us.[/quote]

Sir.  You are not doing even 10 percent of what most women are doing.  But good for you for what you’re doing.  Most men don’t bother.[/quote]

He's doing twice as much as most of the women on this thread, who apparently think brushing their hair is subjugation. [/quote]

Not really.  Women who don’t wear makeup regularly are probably doing more than this guy in terms of personal grooming.  Body hair removal and hair care alone.

How is it even debatable that beauty standards and even basic grooming standards to exist as a socially accepted person in this country is just a different level for women.  Sure some men make an effort.  Yay.  That is not really the point.  Men’s effort and women’s effort are not equal.[/quote]
