I disagree-— Just read these threads....
There are some extremely shallow men who don’t even see their wives as 3 D humans....And then there is the delightful world of fake boobs, liposuction etc all to stay ‘young’ looking so hubby doesn’t dump you for a new model.
Again, it goes both ways pretty evenly.
A man says he would like his spouse to stay healthy and attractive and she hears a demand that she look like a 20 yr old. Meanwhile, he's supposed to agree and laugh along at any "funny" insult to his looks.
When was the last time a comedy on TV portrayed a husband/father as anything other than a lovable dunce? But God forbid anyone point out that Roseanne is a whiny unattractive cow.
Frankly, women mainly get fake boobs, apply makeup, and what not to impress other women, not men.
When a beautiful woman walks into a party, its the women that become fixated more than the men.
Countries where women don't shave their legs, don't apply makeup, and don't wear Prada have pretty healthy birth rates. The men are OK with what God provided. (Vermont is an obvious exclusion to the fore mentioned example). Look at all those women in Burkhas. Lift the veil and you will find beautiful clothes, perfect make-up and lovely hair. All for the purpose of socializing with other women.
