[trueblue1234]

Youse are all doing it wrong. How the feck are ya meant to cop of with one of the bridesmaid if you bring the missus with ya? Leave her at home with the wans and tell her you can't afford a childminder.

I love for a female member of this board to come and explain or try and rationalise why they do these things. Genuinely.

There are only about 2 women on this board,  this is very much an alpha board!!!!

Maybe I am blessed but when she and me go out (which is not that often but will increase significantly now that BC1 junior is babysitting age  ) she will hmm and haa about what to wear but no fake tan, no big issue about the hairdressers etc.  We are both of the opinion that what other people think of us is none of our business so we please each other!!!

You could done with some make-up for your recent appearance on camera 

My mother-in-law is of the opinion that the bigger the wedding the less likely the couple will be happy. She thinks that spending shitloads of money puts a lot of pressure on the couple from day one and some women might expect that married life will be the bed of roses the wedding day was. There may be a grain of truth in that now but there seems to a trend towards lavish weddings that the couple expect the guests to fund through cash donations in lieu of the dinner services and suitcases of old.

I fairness I think the cash presents is largely a modern phenomenon because of the fact that most people getting married already live together and so they are likely to already have the toaster, bed sheets and cutlery sets.

What, has the mono-brow look gone?

[Brick Tamlin]

I had a wee silver eyebrow hair sprout up there while back and I just pulled the wee f**ker out. il be keeping an eye out for him again like but its a long way from waxing and the likes. If a fella is using hair straighteners or tanning himself then he has issues. He needs to take stock and ask himself some serious questions.
Then again he is probably best friends with a load of women and spends time drinkin with them in coffee shops and the likes on big sofas. Probably buys them birthday presents and all.
Sickening.

[laoislad]

I'm big into the hair straighteners myself.

[johnneycool]

Never give the back a bit of a shave? Those hairy angel wings need kept in check.

[Brick Tamlin]

That actually sounds bad. It wasn't that is was a wee grey hair but rather a wee straggler and was annoying me. A wee curler.

On the tan issue - why do women need to look like they have fallen into a bucket of custard? Can their mates or mothers not have a word and tell them how ridiculous they look.

Seen photos lately of a night out my niece had a few weeks ago. All caked up like geishas or something. But one of her mates, 19 or 20, absolutely beautiful girl, looked a mess. Like she had her make up applied with Homer's make up gun. There was no need for her to have anything other than the lips and eyes done. I didn't even recognise her. Why do they feel that this is attractive or what men find attractive? Jesus it was brutal.

Stop perving on your niece's friends.

They are not under pressure from the men but more pressure among themselves trying to outdo each other.
