    This thread came to mind the other day... I went with BB to his band director alumni thing and had no clue until later when I noticed all the wives/gfs there instantly looked at my hands. I'm trying to play it off so I wait until I get alone in the bathroom to see what's up with my hands. My nails were all jagged and dirty from packing and moving. Since the whole point of him asking me along was to "show me off" to his buddies, I really would have appreciated him pointing out my nails (if he had noticed). Fortunately, I don't think any of the menfolk there even cared about my nails. I think the hair, awesome new dress, and body were all they cared about lol.

    PEOPLE NOTICE THOSE THINGS?

    Well I'm f*cked anyway XD

    I have had guys tell me that "If a girl can't even keep up her nails she probably doesn't keep up other area of her body."

    LOL, okay I guess if they care about nails so much they make excuses about it that's fine

    I can only imagine what they would have thought about me... I would have pulled my pocket knife out and cleaned my nails in front of them if I caught them looking. Seriously. #Redneck?

    Honestly, people who are so preoccupied with having an attractive spouse generally tend to be insecure. Hence, they use their spouse to build their self esteem and their personal shortcomings. Why would a man try to change a woman's approach to life? If he wants something different, then I think he needs to communicate that to his girlfriend.

    I met a man like this. He was very particular about the girl he dated. They must be a certain type and he usually don't deviate. Whether someone wants to wear makeup is their choice. I personally never wear makeup unless its for a date or a special event. Hell I even went out on date before without makeup. Maybe I am too comfortable in my own skin. Take it or leave it!

    Im one of those people that believe that when you are out and about, you are representing a couple, no longer just yourself. (bonus to being single, you're allowed to look like utter shit every day if you want to and don't care how it reflects on you or influences your reputation).

    Therefore, I'd be making him proud no matter where I was or whether or not he was with me, because I would care about how BOTH of us are perceived, and I wouldnt want him to ever have to answer the question - "Why are you with such a sloppy, style-less, frumptyfrump?"

    I agree with this. I wish more men thought how they look is reflective of a couple, too!

    ^ This.

    I take pride in the way I look and present myself. I'd expect no less of my significant other. Too many people nowadays just don't care or are too lazy to put any effort into the way they look.

    Agreed - I was embarassed when my guy friend wanted me to meet up with him and I didn't think I looked my best and his friends were there. He said I looked good but I didn't think so.

    Agreed!!

    You know what I kept seeing at the movies last weekend. The woman would look good (either heels or nice sandals, jeans and nice blouse or dress) and the man looked sloppy (baggy jeans and tee shirt).

    Now that I think about it i tend to see that more often than the man looking good and the woman looking awful.

    I'll dress up for a social event, but I am generally a jeans, tank top and ponytail kinda gal. I don't do pedicures (No one touches my feet except me. And my dog, he can lick them) and I don't do manicures. I work with animals so getting my nails done is unnecessary. I keep them clean but they are short and plain. If ladies are going to be giving me the stink eye over that then they can slap nuts for all I care. If my man cares so much that he'll think less of me then he'll get over it or leave.

    Wow massive brain fart.

    Meant to say that I tend to see most men looking awful while the woman looks good.

    Short and clean is good it is when they are jagged with dirt under them (like mine after softball or football) that the judgement starts.
