I used to have a postcard of a drowned looking kitten with the words 'hang on in there' underneath.

I'm afraid thats about the best advice ican offer, even if it is a little trite.

I also had a fridge magnet with the message 'Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticise them you are a mile away and have their shoes.'

(bu bu ba dum tssh)

then there was 'we must have courage, faith and chocolate fudge cake'

and finally 'if you want the best seat in the house you'll have to move the cat.'

eh, that one doesn't really help much.

Ok, to distract you.

As someone mentioned up there ^ Men in make up, yes or no?

I vote yes. I'm not talking bases and blusher and stuff. But on the right guy, eyeliner is just drool worthy, and you can't beat a clam rocker, glitter ahoy! I mean i'm talking here of glam rockers. Turning up for work or to mow the lawn in a rainbow shaded lightning stike on your forehead is not the way to go, and eyeliner is a night time look, but ieven like dark nail polish on guys.

Saying that, its really pissing me off the way the cosmetics industry, having succeeded in implanting paranoia and feelings of aesthetic inadequecy in the female half of the population is now trying to reduce the men to mirror avoiding wrinkle phobes with low self esteem and cosmetic induced credit card debt (whats next - Hey two year olds! your wrists a little chubby? One to many dimples? buy our nasty chemical potion with its pretty packaging and inflated price tag before you hit five and its too late for you!)(Loreal i'm looking at you you 3rd world abusing animal abusing paying customer abusing fat-cat benefiting amoral slimeball sons of hellbitches)

*cough* 'scuse me.

Any way. men, to summarise - make up -eyeliner, special occaision rock god excess yes. Girly base and concealer, bronzing and fake tan (other than on a Queen)No way in hell.

In a related question - clothing, do you like guys who dress up? Are you into saville row suits? crazy Wossy confections? trackies and trainers? Or do guys who pay too much attention to what they wear (beyond is it clean and is it whole) freak you out.

I personally love a guy who takes time to build up a distinctive style, and who is adventurous in his dress - i think its a wonderful indicator of taste and personality and shows of passion and creativity, even if its sometimes a little out there.

But syaing that I wouldn't totally discount a jeans and t shirt kinda guy.

Yey! Its Tristans missus! See you in September!

I have to say, I love men in eyeliner. For some reason I think it looks better on men than on women; I have no idea why. And maybe a little accentuating blush in fleshy tones, too.
I also like a man who knows how to dress. Nothing too elaborate or anything, but looking good. Nice pants, clean shirt free of wrinkles, that kind of thing. Also, I'm a sucker for fishnet on either gender. Fishnet is the sexiest fabric ever invented. As long as it's not overdone, I would say the gothy look can be fabulously sexy. This of course includes eyeliner and black fingernails.
There's something! Nails! I take supreme care of mine; I keep them as long as I can with smooth edges. Smooth edges is very important. I would love to meet a man who took that kind of care with his nails because it can be so sensual. Usually when a guy tries to run his nails along my skin or otherwise scratch me, his nails catch and it ends up hurting. Any men who would make sure their nails were really smooth? Or do ya'll even think about that?

Morning, all. Why are Mondays so horrible? I just want to be home right now, curled back up in bed...

Seryn, thank you for all the catch-phrases! I had never heard a "Walk a mile" like that one before...I like it!

As to nails: I keep mine short and with no sharp edges, except my thumbnails. Those are usually long and rounded to minor points. It was a sewing thing I never grew out of.

no problem.

My favorites are 'meddle not with Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup'

and 'I am Woman, I am Invincible, I am tired'

I second the makeup question to the men. I never wear wakeup, although I know i look a whole lot better with some eyeliner. It's just... work.

Eyeliner on men? I may have already shared... indie rocker with black boots, cut off shorts, a sparkly shirt and runny black eyeliner. He was alos about 5'4", but I was soooo in love. *sigh* He had a girlfriend who could break me in half, so no luck.

copilot: I let one go two years ago, and it was really difficult! I thought about him a lot! But I knew I could better, and staying with killed my chance of ever having something better. Hang in there, it will get better!!

tristan and jsusagi: you both are too fun! I agree about the long hair, jsusagi, as long as it not all nappy. Get a trim every once in a while guys, so it stays nice and soft!

Men crying - if a man's really got something to cry about, I find it touching if he'll cry around me, like he trusts me enough.

I don't cry much, but I had an interesting experience a few months ago. An idiot in a minivan turned in front of my little Jeep Wrangler (on a highway, going fast!) and I was absolutely sure there was badness coming. Squealy brakes, skidding sideways... we missed by inches. I got home (this was less than a mile from my house) and laid on the floor in hysterics for like 10 minutes. It was very bizarre. Excellent venting though, I felt pretty good after.

Anyway, that was my tangent for the day.

Hang in there CoPilot. I'm sure you'll be fine as you've made a decision that many people never make. You're not settling for being in love only.

Topics at hand:
I am fond of men who know how to dress for the ocassion. I don't like having to tell someone that jeans and sneakers aren't appropriate attire for some events. But, I DO love a man in NICE, well fitting, stylish jeans and a nice fitted white or black t-shirt. Das is good.

Dressing up should mean more than khakis and a shirt with a collar. I've met far too many men with that definition. Spend some money on a couple pairs of flat front, well fitted slacks and you're good. There's nothing like well fitting slacks. There's a time when a man's arse is pretty pleasing. And remember, if you can get away with only one suit in your life, make sure it fits well. Fit can make a less expensive suit seem more so.

Manicured hands? I can't really expect anything as my hands have a tendency to show some wear and tear. I may sit in an office all day, but my hands don't show it. I'm actually a little embarassed by them, especially when I go dancing (swing dancing that is). But, working with horses and the manual labor that goes with it means less ladylike hands. It's a trade off I'm willing to make.

And besides, I'm not fond of manicured hands on men. Clean, trimmed and free from huge callouses is good enough. Soft, with perfect nails, etc is too much. (Speaking of which, Pres. Bush has incredibly soft hands....hrmmmm. )

Crying: Eyes welled up at appropriate moments: very attractive. Sobbing uncontrollably: freaks me out. I often wonder if I'm just a cold hearted bitch because I don't cry often...maybe twice a year and when I do it's always in private. I have one friend that always seems to be on the verge of tears. It can be so exhausting b/c I feel like I have to talk her down from the ledge.

Eyeliner and long hair on men? Like it on the right ones. I do distinguish "surfer" long hair from "heavy metal" long hair, though. I don't like rocker hair, but surfer hair is good.

Good morning, sorry I'm late. Looks like I missed a few days and a few dozen posts.

Tristan, sorry about your Monday. My boss is in Boston and I'm planning on spending the afternoon in a microbrewery watching the U.S. vs. Czech Republic. It's a nice way to ease into the workweek.

Won't try to catch up on all the questions but I do try to keep my nails short and rounded.

Questions:
How many guys out there have had a professional manicure and/or pedicure? One time thing or do you have a set appointment?

How many ladies have taken their significant others in for this service?
How would you react to a guy telling you he gets his nails done on a regular basis?

I had my first manicure a month ago and it was a unique experience. For reasons I won't go into, I was at a salon with my buddies and their wives when the peer pressure took hold. I could not be talked into a pedicure. Later I regretted my stubborness. After seeing a pal of mine sporting the smile of the enlightened buddha while this young girl carved away on his feet I was envious as hell. Still don't see myself plopping down the cash for it on a regular basis but I could be persuaded to do it every now and again.
