Just wanted to know...Men how do you answer your lady when she asks you questions on her appearence. for instants. i asked my hubby if he would mind if i started plying on make-up or started looking caked up in make-up ... he said he didnt mind whatever made me happy.... confused2
when i dress to go out he will make sure that my shoes are matching my outfit buit most times he will say its alright.
should i just be satisfied that he is content with whatever makes me happy or am i just looking to far into this?
think if your lady came to you what would you say or do
Think outside of the box...Think in spirit
Act as if it were impossible to fail!!!

@LadyDAy. All depends. But generally I think many women and the majority I know play games and speak double speak. So they do not want you honest opinion on many things particularly how they dress. They want your affirmation or support. So I will not anwer or give a non commital. It's alright and simply not get into it.
Because if I diasagree and she says but so and so said they like it. My response is obvious go and ask so and so and don't bother me. Issue done.

I dress how I like, and do what I like. If my man feels to comment I may or may not listen, but I'm not gonna ASK for his opinion.

Fortunately my wife and I have an understanding that if she asks I will answer honestly. This way she knows to only ask if she is prepared for an answer that may not accord with what she would like to hear.
Also, even is she does not ask and I think something is just not right for her, I will tell her. Of course it's up to her what she does with my comments; sometimes she might agree sometimes she might tell me to stuff it (in the nicest possible way of course 
She is just as honest with me, but I seldom ask her anyway because I know I always look. good blkafro
@ Facetygal
Sister you don't mess! LOL
Respect
There are those who feel that the only way to ‘prove their own worth’ is by ‘devaluing the worth of others’. You will often find that a man who is compelled to measure his substance against the substance of another, has little of substance in the first place!

@Backatya said"She is just as honest with me, but I seldom ask her anyway because I know I always look. good blkafro
That's what I like to hear. Gwan bro...
@Cockneybuoy. I have always been a very observant and reflective child/adult who watches people very careefully, women in particular. Hence my views on a lot of issues about what is really meant by equality etc because I have never met a woman who wants it unless it is in very specific and attractive areas. They will adopt another set of reasoning for the things they do not want to do.
But I know I am right where this dressing issue is concerning for most women I know. But here is the clear and another double standard. While they really don't care what you say for the most part. It is not the same the other way round. Every woman I know wants to dress me and tell me what to put on. NOt that I have any problems in physical presentation as I come from an exremly vain family and the women always commend you on your dress etc when you are dating etc.
But the thing is once they have you so to speak. Then they start to in effect impose their tastes on you in a way I would never ever think of doing as it is her body. Moreover women have a range of tactics of mainpulation etc which they will apply to attempt to make you conform. I wish the honesty which Backatya seems to enjoy was my experience because women generally do not want to hear what they do not want to hear and have alll types of responses to not hear it.confused3
So seen it too many times friend to be simply a coincidence or mistaken.

Blackmatta .... mmm you see the question on being caked up in make-up was so that i would know honestly his views onme hiswifewearing make-up or going over the top with it. its not science. fair enough i except that he is fine with whatever i do ... but he must still be able to give me an opinion. as he usually tells me if he dont like my hairstyle yet i dont ask. so....
@facetygal i hear what you say but i still like to know sometimes what he is feeling.

I guess if u go ahead and do it u will then find out how he really feels by the look on his face. Words don't mean a thing, but expressions do. At least he has good coordination, making sure the shoes go with the outfit. niceone.gif

i would hope he'd answer me honestly as i'm not asking for asking sake.
but if he says he didn't mind then take it as you look alright. if my man said he didn't mind i'd take it as that, b'cos i'm sure that if i was looking to' up he'd tell me bare face as i would do for him .
Never live in the past but always learn from it...
Do You...
