I believe that women care about how they look more than men do. take an example, bring a man who is in a good shape and handsome and women who is in a good shape and beautiful.Then, put them in front of the mirror.for me, I will say “oh yeah my smalls is attractive and, my clothes is cool and clean, my goatee shaped well, my hair is calm .so,here i am ready to go with my girlfriend to have some dinner” however, my girlfriend always keeps asking me how does she look? did you liked my hair? did you like my new perfume? did you liked the way she put meckup? and so on and on.

I always ask my boyfriend how i look even though I know what he’s going to say already. I’m not sure if it’s to keep himself out of trouble, or because he really means it. I don’t ask any cliché questions like, “Do I look fat in this dress?” If I ask something like that I know either way he’s going to tell me I look amazing. (Like he does all the time). Hopefully it’s not just to keep him out of trouble! This provides me with interesting insight into this conundrum Mr. Dalager.

I am on th oppostite side of the coin, The female. We all ask our significant other how we look, it seems to be a habit that is hard to break. We need to know if you like something or not. Although we may not listen to your advice we do take it into consideration. This is a funny subject that is difficult for the men.

Yes, please pass on from me that I’ve always thought Sherry’s hair looks like a bird’s nest sitting atop her head. And, yes, that poetry thing? Not you.

I’ve realized more and more that good health, kind eyes, and a constant smile are the best benchmarks of beauty. So, husbands out there, make sure you compliment your wife on her good health!

(Thanks for letting me drop into your class discussion, Steve. Not that you could stop me.)

Dude, Great bit.

My daughter, who’s not a classic beauty, and not a Hollywood beauty, is just now starting to think about society’s idea of beauty. Starvation, tall…severe…

She’s with me, though, real beauty has CURVES, and mussed hair, and inner light.

Hope your hair turned out!!

I enjoyed reading your blog, I suppose I can relate ‘kinda’, I have a mother who never liked her hair and a Pappa whos opinion has never mattered! To you poor ment though, I have an upside. when i tell her that her hair makes her look ten years younger without making her look like she’s trying she believes me, why? Because i know exactly what she wants to hear.

*how do i find other class mates blogs???*

I thought your blog was good. It was cool how you related it to your wife. I think you were right, it sound like Barry may have had a “situation” with his wife and maybe it motivated him to write this. The story was good but I thought it may have been bias just because an old boyfriend of mine used to take about an hour to get ready. Anyway, I wasnt sure how to find the other peers’ blogs so I wrote to you

“And shave those sideburns, you hippie!” - C. Montgomery Burns - The Simpsons

I think I looked at the piece with a more serious eye than most. I know the introduction says that the essay, “humorously highlights differences in the ways that men and women view themselves,” but the more closely I read it, the more I objected to his points or his supporting statements.
