What Not to Say to a Woman, Pt II (Page 2)

Ooo, I just thought of one.  I went to this salon to participate in one of their hair dresser training sessions.  Basically, they had a special highlighting technique that they taught to other hairdressers.  I volunteered to be a guinea pig and in turn, got my hair highlighted for free by a hairdresser who already knew how to do hair, just not that technique. 

Anyway, at that time I was on a "natural" kick and had quit plucking my eyebrows.  One hairdresser and her friend were passing me and stopped to comment on how I would look so much better if I just plucked my eyebrows, adding that if I were in their salon, they'd insist on doing it, even if it was for free.  Talk about a blow to your confidence.  I ended up getting them professionally plucked and shaped the next time I got my hair cut, even though I had had some guys actually compliment me on having natural eyebrows.

Why is it that some people feel like your appearance is open to discussion when you didn't ask?

Okay ... this site is SUPPOSED to be about acceptance.  PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stop slamming skinny people.  (and as you all sneak a look to the left, no I don't look skinny in my avatar.) But after a  life of nobby knees and no curves, I don't want to deal with open season on skinny people.  Feel the love people. we are all beautiful.

This thread is starting to make me mad.  Just because you aren't attracted to skinny women, does not give you the right to say mean things on the board.  If you want to say I prefer curves that's great, but why do you have to put a put down in there?  Most women are self-conscious about their appearance anyway, and the very last thing we need is somebody saying rude things about whatever body type they happen to not prefer.

I am not a thin person by any stretch of the imagination, and I've dealt with this from the other side and I can tell you it hurts when people make statements like this.

In another thread (the one with the scary synthol dude) I mentioned that I preferred guys that were more streamlined/classic tri guy shape.  Then I thought about some of the guys who I know are on these forums and some of the guys I happily dated in the past.  And since I was thinking slowly, it was too late to edit my comments.

After considering the situation, I really think the most attractive bodies are those that exude health and happiness.  After all, thick or thin, a healthy body kind glows.  It seems like you can tell who is taking care of themselves, even if their 6-pack is still in the fridge or they are straight as broom.

There is nothing more beautiful than watching a person in motion, comfortable with their body and making good use of it. ;-)

Geez, I'm in a good mood today.  Too bad I have to be at work.

Well, a good personality goes a long way to forgiving those nobby knees and sharp, poking pelvic bones.... 

Now I'm offended. How dare you slam slight those of us without a good personality! We're people too, individuals with feelings, and we deserve some respect.

What a perfect way to head off to work! Thanks for sharing your good mood

Maybe if you put some meat on those bones you wouldn't be as thin-skinned.

Just kidding, just kidding!

My momma always told me not to play with sticks. You can poke your eye out!

Like the new pic, hides the knobs a little better.
