Madeleine, I agree with what you say about the media's portrayal of how women "should" look, but I discovered that I bought into that less and less as I matured. I dare say that most women feel the same way, if you look around you and see how many women you pass by every day spend tons of time grooming themselves to the nines and wearing heels, hose, and skirts. Besides, it is obvious the OP did this tongue-in-cheek. But, whether or not this thread masks the OP's personal envy of women is up to the OP to say.
Seriously, Sarah, why would your gf hate you if you take the time, effort and expense to make yourself up and put together an outfit to achieve your desired results?Originally Posted by sarahcsc
I've seen the sentiment expressed here over the years that women are jealous of CDers who make the effort and this has never made sense to me. Granted, a woman who is overweight might be envious of a partner who isn't - blame this on the media's unrealistic portrayal of the "ideal" woman, but this certainly is not the case if both partners have a similar body mass index. We're not all still in middle school. lol
This is why women aren't jealous of CDers: women have the natural advantage because they have all the curves, the voice, the smaller more delicate features. Anything else is packaging (even breast enhancements) and if women are interested in achieving the same results as a CDer who gets all dolled up, it just takes a trip to the makeup counter and clothing store.
