ORIGINAL: puella I think most women, and society as a whole, are far more indulgent in the appearance of men... he isn't fat, he has a little beer belly.. he can be bald, he can be unkempt, he can be older, wrinkles and gray hair are distinguishing, they do not distinguish you as being an old hag.... I don't think any mayhem will result from your statement. It's too true to argue with. I've often felt men and women are too indulgent about tolerating male sloppiness in dress, lack of hygiene, lard and lack of muscles. Maybe, to some degree, that's been because men are expected, even today, to concentrate on work in order to be a good provider, and that may drain them of some energy that it would take to keep spruced up, but women have at least as much to do. I can't stand seeing a couple on the street, the woman dressed up nicely and the slob walking with her with faded jeans, sneakers, a baseball cap on and a shirt not tucked in. Oh, and a couple of day's growth of beard on his face. I'm ticked off at him for not showing respect to her, and I'm disappointed in her for putting up with it.
