I think everyone looks to some degree, but be respectful with it.

It's interesting how differently we approach things as I grew up in the arts and he's been in engineering and very conservative all his life.
My husband is an engineer/lawyer. He doesn't get my dancing with men and I'm not sure I've ever mentioned the Coed change rooms. Some men I skate with will say it's weird to be thst close to someone who isn't your wife. I tell them honestly I never think of it as anything other than almost clinical. I also warn them that it's best when we are super close so I will be close but once again it's all business. I know people get embarrassed when they grab the wrong part or "bits" bump. Whatever...often I don't notice because I'm trying to fix what caused that. But it's all hard to explain to people who haven't been immersed in that kind of thing. When I watch dancing with the stars and the celebs are worried because it's a romantic dance and they only think that way about their spouse I roll my eyes. Haha.0 -

Yeah, we always have co-ed dressing rooms also.0 -
I booked my husband a massage for today so he's doing that while the boy and I hang out. I told hubs we're going for bunch after. Sad that brunch is the highlight of my weekend but after the last few I'm happy to just do nothing.1

I can wear shoes on the hardwood floor AGAIN!
Haha my husband is the one who's particular about no shoes on the wood floors. I'm thinking if I'm the one who washes them, can't I wear my shoes?1 -
My dad refuses to take his shoes off anywhere so he'd have to stay at the door of your houses. haha1

not married, happily taken though, so the "would you kill, hug or kiss" threads are no go zones for me2

We live on a farm. Just leaving the door open lets hay and dust and sometimes geese in the house. I figure the shoes argument is moot at this point. His mom is super type A about her pristine house though so I imagine that's where it came from. I was raised with the philosophy that messes are fine as long as you're having fun and clean up later, so as long as I mop, who cares?

I am not sure it is that easy for guys. At least for me. My shoes have six eyelets and I am already dressed up and it is impossible to tie shoelaces at the end causing wrinkles in my shirt. The last thing I tie is my ties. And at that point, the shoes are already done. It is so difficult for me to reverse the sequence. I know it annoys my wife a lot, but I am gone by 6:30am and she is either asleep or in the shower. So I just escape.
The hardwood floor alone has caused so much friction between us. It's the bane of my existence.
I would rather put my shoes on when I dress so the outfit is complete. Clearly I'm not a shoes at the door only person. I dunno hardwood is meant to be worn and it adds character when it's worn and looks used. As opposed to a show home. But then again the house I live in was built in 1936 and has the original hardwood so ya it's worn2 -

I have been in her friend's places. They are all the same way. Very anal about cleanliness and house etiquettes.
haha my house is a pit so I never worry about tidiness. I like it say our house is lived in. I mean there's not dirt everywhere that's gross just clutter. which reminds me I need to go down the basement and work1 -

I am pleasantly pleasant to those whose presents shows it. Like I said I just started the community side of MFP and you are in 90% of them with something negative to say.
I would channel that and make it work for me and not against me. I am constantly working on myself from the inside.
A flower does not start with pedals and scent. It starts from dirt and seed and builds itself up to become the "Forget Me Not" of flowers. That is the Alaskan state flower by the way.
Stay happy. Stay true to you. I am only an opinion.0 -

It is no joke my fellow man. I have four kids. Be about the kids. Have a routine for them to go by. It helps with all the what's going on now questions. Do it because you want to not because you have too!0 -
