Do you REALLY appreciate all we women do to try and look good?
I ask cause guys never seem to notice.
I'm sitting here right now with some of that "at home chemical peel" stuff on my face to reduce the size of my wrinkles and help clear up the acne and it got me thinking - do men know or care that we do this stuff? Sure, we do it partly to make ourselves feel good, but we also do it for you.
We wax - sometimes extremely tender areas.
We shave.
We pluck.
We dye.
We wear uncomfortable shoes that make us want to cry.
We spend money we don't have on products to burn off the top layer of skin, fry off our hair, on pedicures, manicures - and some of those nail care people are REALLY rough, I've gone away crying. Hot wax dips.
And if we get any praise at all, it's a grunted "Hm, nice" and that's it.
Do you guys like it? Or shall we all just give up?
You know, just once it would be nice after I've spent a great deal of time on makeup, and pre-makeup beauty treatments like the peel, to have a guy come up and say, "I'm not saying this to come on to you, but I appreciate the time you took to try and look pretty, and you succeeded."
Well, maybe not those exact words, but something along those lines sure would make me feel good and make me more likely to do it in the future rather then just shower, shampoo, and pretty much otherwise go out "as is."
