Question for the girls

I haven't dyed my hair in almost 20 years. I tried going with a "dark violet" and all I got was super intense auburn highlights.

The ex-Mrs. LSS began dying her hair after our first few dates. I haven't seen her natural color in 18 years. She used to dye it black with this one bleached streak that she dyed vaious colors. Eventually that one streak would not bleach anymore so now she has all black hair. Yes, I was once married to the queen of the spider farmers.

You should be fine as long as you don't go with any crazy colors. Bleaching is much harsher than coloring your hair.

By the way...nice Alex Ross avatar!

 

Nah, you are an idiot if you don't notice a girl changing their hair color. I am not big into hair color for the girls I date, but I notice if they change it. There is no way a guy doesn't notice the hair color changing. They may not say so, for whatever reason, but guys notice these things - or at least the smart, non douchebag ones do.

 

Quite correct. Like paint on finger- and toenails, I think the whole hair-coloring thing is one of those things women do specifically to impress each other.

 

My experience has been that you better notice any and all hair changes.

 

I now feel like less of a man for having read this. But I agree with Writing Irish on the parts we like.

And Emmylou has aged quite well, the gray works for her. And aside from the gray hair, still looks pretty young.

 

Another question for the girls....

How long does a pedicure take?

The GF is coming in town this weekend and when I talked to her last night she was in a pissy mood. Her pedicure of yesterday morning was ruined by a trip to the gym yesterday afternoon. I've got to go into the office on Friday afternoon so I was thinking I could drop her off at a nail place just down the street for an hour or so while I get some work done.

 

This is the healthiest attitude you can have about your appearance. When I'm asked, I say, "Honey, you look lovely. But what matters is that you like how you look."

 

I also want the truth when I ask if I my ass looks fat in these jeans.



Disclaimer: It's not a question I would ever ask.

 

Depending on the line of people waiting, an hour is about right.

 

Not a gray hair yet, same as my mom.

 

I get the odd shine of silver but mostly I do it because my hair has grown darker as I have aged. So I put highlights in to keep me blonde-ish.

Because I just like being a blonde.
