I was the president of a youth football team. I know about football.
I have upgraded, added more memory, fixed, programmed computer, etc.
I love for a man to cook for me in his house and clean up his mess | |

Posted: 3/19/2009 5:28:20 PM | PrimeWoman has made some very valid points here and I have seen other posts on this thread in which the women have complained that some of the men don't aspire to the same dress ( or other aspects ) we would expect women to. To me its a matter of situation as well..you dress for the occasion. I work in construction and know many guys who think nothing of wearing jeans and any thing other than a t-shirt as "being dressed up". I know a few who if you asked them what a sport coat was they would resond "one with the logo of my favorite team on it" ( laughable but true). Some of the company christmas parties have been interesting to see their version of the term casual dress. Lets jsut say a few had a REALLY loose definition of the words..lol.
I have been on a few "first face to face meetings" that I was accused of dressing up for. I was kinda confused at first then it hit me I wasn't wearing jeans and I had on a nice shirt with no wrinkles. Yes I do know how to use and iron even though neither of my ex-wives did, but they did think I looked sexy bare chested and in my dress pants ironing my shirt at the last minute. Yeah mom made sure all of us could do laundry and clean and iron our own clothes..What she told me then and I see it still holds true. No woman wants to be with a man who cant at least take care of how he looks. Although you wont find me at a barber shop ( no reason to anymore..whats left "around the top" I got rid of a few years back).The old saying that clothes make the man doesnt always hold true ( was a tailor who came up with it anyway..lol) .. but have found that dressing for the occasion and taking care of how you look isn't a chore its a sign of self respect and works for both sexes.
On a side note I really miss three piece suits ..To me that was the way to go. I used to look damn good in them too..lol. | |

Power has nothing to do with the pleasure in which we have selected to dress ourselves. Our attitudes have changed & defined ourselves due to the nature of the beasts who have crossed our paths. Our sexuality & dress is not an intimidating factor, when softness & kindness should be a focus.  | |

Posted: 3/19/2009 7:45:50 PM | | I think there is a happy medium between formal attire and comfort. When I was in college, a woman politely expained that slacks and a button down shirt make a better first date impression than faded jeans and a T shirt. I think that would hold true for women as well. I don't expect a woman to wear a formal and heels on a date, but then at the same time, what man wants to date a woman who wears sweats everywhere she goes? | |

Posted: 3/20/2009 11:31:45 AM | Wow, this can be a loaded question. Actually, I prefer T-shirts and bare feet. But when my guy asks..........I don't mind that little black dress at all. We all need to remember that a little bit of communication goes a very long way. And that works both ways. You like the little black dress and 4" heels... don't be surprised if I a make a request.
I something makes your eyes light up and something makes my heart smile..... well girls and boys this is where good communication works wonders. | |

I get a kick out of the women that send over the guys to ask. Oh man, I would never go over to another gut and ask boxers, briefs, or commando. LOL
Just not my style. I figure if a guy wants to know that question, they can get one themselves and then they can answer "The Question!"

The first face to face with my fishie we were going to shoot at the target range and then go for a walk on local trails that are rather wet that time of year. I still laugh about one of his pre-meeting emails where, since he'd be wearing jeans and boots, he said he'd be "first date presentable but only from the waist up". I don't remember if his shirt was pressed, I was too star struck  | |

Back the ever-lovin truck up cowboy!
You cherry pick my choice to treat myself to a manicure, not willing to ruin it by hiring a mechanic and toss it under the umbrella of rigid thinking, refusal to change and dare to attack me for being vain and wasting money to advance your tenuous position.
Let me clue you in buddy...
When I was packing boxes in a warehouse, contracting landscaping projects or enagaged in a working visit to my gf's pig farm, a manicure was not the order of the day.
Now I work in an office. My hands are large and manly looking, my natural nails are thin and brittle. I have pink and whites done--acrylics that soften and feminize the appearance of my hands and endure much better than my own.
Acrylics require special equipment and supplies, a certain level of skill and artistry. Is a polished look that fits my cosmopolitan leanings. No, I cannot do them myself for those reasons as well as the lack of ambidexterity to do my right hand with my left. I don't cut my own hair either, as low maintenance as my style is, I still call on the services of a trained pro, small business owner. I could go corporate, but I choose how I prefer to stimulate the economy.
Taking some pride in one's appearance does not equate to vanity, especially when making a first impression. It's an important distinction.
But I do my own pedicures (and perform manicures and pedicures on my bf), color my roots, wash and detail my own car, minor tailoring and repairs, most cooking (used to bake my own bread, but is not practical anymore), housecleaning, dog grooming...the list goes on.
Nothing wrong with my priorities and I have proven myself to be really quite practical, adaptable, willing and able to adjust. Who are you to tell me how to spend my money or disparagingly judge my spending habits as frivolous.
Not saying you do, but you won't find me spending my money on franchised products to advance the obscene salaries of sports figures. I refused to buy my car unless the dealership removed it's advertising from it...like I was going to be a free rolling billboard AND make payments for the honor?
I refuse to pay an entrance fee to home and boat shows for the privilege of seeing how I can be a conspicuous consumer and load myself up with debt. I don't need or want the cheap trinket give-aways that will wind up in the trash, my concerns for our environment guides me in that respect. Most movies I will wait to catch on video or pay-per-view, just for a couple of examples of a colossal waste of my hard-earned buck imho. $20 for ticket and snack to endure a movie for 2 looooong hours that leave me feeling foolish for having done so one too many times. Frost/Nixon was a pleasant suprise in that respect.
Btw...I have NO debt. I underspend what I earn. I don't live in a hovel or drive a beater, I own some modern electronic gadgets, use my bone china and crystal instead of storing it or saving it for posterity...getting the picture here?
Not only is your profile incongruent with your words/attitude here, but you are showing your true colors of judgementalism, rigidity,assumption and presumptiveness.
Can you say transference?
You are loathe to acknowledge that I made practical and valid points.
Acknowledgement does not equate to concession.
None so blind as those who refuse to see, none so deaf as those who refuse to hear.
You chose instead, to become defensive and launch a poorly executed attack.
A willingness to change does not refer to ones skivvies!
If you insist on a battle of wits with me, might I suggest you not come unarmed.
That's ok. You are who you are. And the ladies who are fishing will see what kind of fish you are clearly, thanks in part, to our thrust and parry here. Rock on. And that's all I have to say about that.
Smiles and sweetness, still keepin it simple and keepin it real--WP, PW in reverse
***********One more thing to the fellas, NAILBRUSH. Use one daily. Yeah, it's that important.************** | |

Posted: 3/23/2009 12:14:03 PM | Texas Sky hit it on the nose! Goodwill didn't even get mine; the trash man did! I was off this thread -- didn't know it was still going on. I think if a woman wants to dress up, feminine, casual, comfortable, or all out glam, that's HER business! It's all about how YOU feel. Your body, your closet, your purse! It has nothing to do with her ability to function in her job, with her family, with her man, whatever - it's called style, and everybody's got their own. I found out something about me, that for over a decade I chose to dress in sweats and overgrown clothing, and matched my spouse perfectly. Yeah, there's nothing like looking like one half of a salt & pepper set. What I learned was I was hiding myself from something ... Once I decided I wanted ME back, I changed, and it was a personal choice. No one else's. I now wear what makes me happy; makes me comfortable ... what makes me comfortable just happens to be sexy in the eyes of many. Just my 89 cents worth. | |

Posted: 3/23/2009 12:47:12 PM | hahhhahahahaahhahha I dress up stockings and all. I emjoy teh " girly " things. sad to see many ladies in sweat pants and sneakers. But I do it for me. At this stage of my life i dont have kids jumping on me, a dog shedding on me. So I find the time to make my self feel better about me. " Girl" dressing I call it. I enjoy jeans and shoes with pretty blouses. They do today RD you need to look.  | |

Posted: 3/23/2009 2:05:28 PM | Exactly. I LOVE stockings over panty hose any day; I love the way they look; they way they feel ON me. If I have the choice of a bra that's lovely and one that's a utility piece; it's gonna be the lovely one - as long as the underwires aren't kickin' my butt ... if it's a skirt over jeans; its the skirt ... if it is jeans, theyhave to be comfortable on me; I'm not adjusting to them, and I'm NOT wearing "MOM JEANS" ... well, err, not yet, anyway ..,. | |
