We Love You (Not Your Lip-Gloss!) Oh! Really..

Hi peeps,

Is it true that women can’t get enough fashion and beauty trend? And why men are never-repeat NEVER-going to understand what all the fuss is about.

It started when one of my guy best friends told me about his girlfriend. Basically he told me everything unnecessary thing that his girlfriend put herself through in the pursuit of beauty. Things that, quite frankly, I either don’t notice, find annoying or even unattractive. But, what he didn’t notice is that her girlfriend is doing it for the sake of him. So, should women wear make up? Or shouldn’t? It got me to thinking that I can save all loads of time and effort by revealing the fashion and beauty things you do that actually men find utterly useless.

The truth is, very few men actually like lipstick. It makes you look weird, you don’t taste nice to kiss, and it gets all over your faces and clothes. As for lip-gloss, forget about it-nasty, goey muck that makes everyone who wears it look vaguely porno (well, fine for your boyfriend, but they secretly don’t want other blokes seeing you!) Then there’s lip balm. I do by accident have a girlfriend who appears to have obsessive compulsive disorder when it comes to applying lip balm. Twenty times a day is way effin abnormal.

Later, when it comes to earrings, well ladies, what are you playing at? Massive drop earrings might be hottest trend of the mo’, but I assure you, walking around with a couple of chandeliers dangling from your ear lobes will only make blokes think you’re a nutter. My friend also tends to complained about her girlfriend hair. Well, now I know that men are really from MARS! He told me that his girlfriend has a lovely wavy hair that looks windswept and natural. Unfortunately, whenever she has a posh do’ to go to, she’ll spend an hour-not to mention a load of cash-at the hairdresser getting them to blow-dry it within an inch of its life, so it lies there limply, flatter than a field. I do found that most of young girls these days have straight hair. Hair straighteners and rebonding processes have changed the shape of Malaysian heads. To my surprise, even blokes use them. Why? Because, at some point about 5 years ago, some straight-haired women somewhere managed to spread the silly rumors telling that any hair that isn’t dead straight is somehow a bit…moron. All this super-sleek ‘power hair’ – you can almost see the advert: Straight hair is for winners! – is quite frankly getting a bit dull. Even shampoo advert used straight hair as one of their marketing tool. Lame. I mean, we women are all the same. Remember, blokes like curly hair, too and sometimes, prefer it. They like it messed up and shaggy. Anyway, messy is SEXY!

This is other things that I learn from my guy friend. The Bloke’s Book of Style. It gives u rules on fashion. The dos and don’ts in fashion. Rule number one states that Alice bands should only be worn by poncy, long-haired Italian footballers. Women however should avoid them like the plague. On women, Alice bands conjure up images of horsey, floral-wearing types, running the local jumble sale. Or, even worse, middle-aged ladies who still want to look like they’re 13. Creepy! I know Sienna Miller and even Blair Waldrof wears them, but let her, I say – that’s for someone else to complain about.

Well girls, this is only one guy opinion. If your boyfriend or fling or even your ought-to-be boyfriend like who you are now. Then, it is good for you. As for me, my darling always complained about one thing. FAT! It seems that I just can’t get rid of these chicken fillets. I am trying and will try again.
