What guys worry about? I had a boyfriend that was worried about his circ, of all stupid things, and spent hours trying to find things to fix it. I knew a woman who made her ex-husband have a circ done in his twenties. So I know some men do go through pain to look beautiful. And yes, men do judge women. They are not nearly as vocal as women, but I assure you that they notice the woman squeezing herself into a dress much too small for her and make rude comments about it to their friends. They will mourn a pretty woman in jeans and a sweatshirt instead of some hot number for them to oggle. But they are more tolerant of their girlfriends and wives and friends then women are. It is an interesting take on beauty. I'll admit I would spend hours playing with my make-up and dressing up, just to see how I looked, never going out. I love the colors of make-up though I hardly wear it. I shave my legs because I love the feel, but I always went two weeks without when first dating a guy to see if he cared. If he did, he was gone. I like what you said in the end about beauty. It's to make the person happy. I was thinking of the other side of it. What guys worry about?

I’ll admit I would spend hours playing with my make-up and dressing up, just to see how I looked, never going out. I love the colors of make-up though I hardly wear it.

I think I like crafting things with my hands. I am thinking about making an Advent calendar by hand like the one I have but which is VERY old and tired.

I don't need to plump my lips. Yes, I'm sure there are other things to bask in. What's your bliss? Grammy's bliss was swimming. Mine too. And I like reading a really good, reeeaaallly long book.

But after all this, did your lips stop stinging, undamaged and did you like the way the glitter looked? I get the "other" women criticism but was this a fun experience for you, in the end, or not? I do almost no makeup and I look physically pretty ....Oh Well! Never paid much attention to most of it and my skin is so senstivie that makup has always been risky....I suspect there are a lot of people out here like me, who take pleasure in "other" things. Yes?
