creepy much? ick

I'm not a make-up fan either, although when I used to wear it. But stopped when the rednecks at coffee shop thought I was gay. Ok cheap shot.

I've been trying to get money out of Adidas (I forgot about them) for years to no avail.

:spam1:

That's a complicated question, naturally. I'll try to give you the Cliff Notes version.

One factor is my Avoidance Syndrome. Instead of fixing something, I'd start over (eg, instead of fixing my job, go out and get a new job). Life is screwed up, become a different person, or fantasize about it.

Another is that I am a pleaser. I identify with women who talk about how that has kept them from taking care of their own needs, and how hard it was to please a controlling dominant father. A lot of guys talk about how when they were younger felt they could do anything and had lots of confidence. I always felt inadequate and don't identify with that.

I don't like the posturing of career-oriented men. I do it real well, but it is a strain to put up the facade. After talking with some women about this, it is a case of the grass being greener on the other side. Women can be tough on each other too.

Finally, men are plain. Women have a lot of freedom of expression with makeup and the variety of clothing they can wear. It seems like it's more fun to be female. :ivy:

If I were on a date with a woman that said she wasn't female at birth that would creep me out even though I might understand it. I know, it doesn't make any sense to me either.

I wore makeup once, but I was young and needed the money.

btw is Clinique considered a less expensive brand or have I read that wrong? Clarins & Clinique are considered quite posh among us admin staff. We get trial sizes of the skincare & eke them out so that we smell expensive. Slumming it would be buying Superdrug's own label brand.... (which is on my bathroom shelf at the moment!)

I hereby endorse Achewood. It takes about three months of reading it to even comprehend it at all. But having put in that time, I cannot look away.

Girls who don't wear much makeup are hawt.
