She's obsessed with appearance. It might be one of the sources of my self-esteem problems. I'm working through it though. I feel good today and I'm not wearing any make-up at all. :D


I´m glad to hear you are working on your issues.
I havent seen one of the "why do guys hate fat chicks" coment on your posts lately so I think you are doing a great job.
You have to accept yourself before other people start accepting your apeareance.

Si. Maybe I'm feeling better because I have a date coming up in a few weeks or that I'm moving back to college in 10 days. Either way, yaaaaaaaaaaaay! Of course, I'll wear SOME make-up on the date. Gotta show that I'm willing to put in some effort after all. :D

I never wore make-up on dates. I felt it was false advertisement since I don't wear it any other time.

I feel it makes me feel more comfortable and confident so I'll be more relaxed. Now I won't wear an over-abundance so that I look like a clown or anything, just a little polishing. :D

Suit yourself. Personally, I'm against make-up.

My mom takes 2.5 hrs to get ready for work. I take usually half an hour, including breakfast. And going to the store, my takes maybe 45 min, I can just put my shoes on, and I'm ready.

Including showers? 8O

If I don't need a shower, I take 10 minutes tops for just myself.

Showers with the kids = 40 to 50 minutes. Showers alone are about 20 minutes.

If I'm alone with my kids and need a shower, it can easily take that long.

That's pretty much what men have to endure. Women taking forever and they look no different at the end. DO they just sleep for a couple hours??

Maybe it's because I'm not a mommy. I guess I'll learn what it's like someday. :D

Keith - Nope. We are working on getting ready, I think a lot of it is mental preparation as well as getting pretty. If it takes a guy 5 minutes to get ready, 20-40 minutes seem like an eternity. I've known guys that take an hour getting ready too, it pissed off their girlfriends a little bit though. :lol:

At ast you guys don't have Puerto Rican mom's. They work on what me and my dad collectively call "Puerto Rican Time". Ever heard of the time dilation effect?
