Thanks for answering my questions !!

1. I do use “special” shampoo (not really special, as I buy it by the gallon on Amazon!) because I spend a small fortune on my hair color, and I don’t want my shampoo to strip out the color or dry out my hair. Otherwise, my shower contains soap (Dove unscented), a razor (exactly like the one he uses; makes buying blades less hassle!), shave gel, and Target-brand face wash. Probably not going to be much help here; I seem to be lacking the “girly” gene!
2. Bras: Yes. Too many variables to simply buy based on tag size. Undies: Not a chance. And what I do buy is going into the wash as soon as I get home!
3. The initial sex scene was pretty hot, but the rest of the movie just didn’t “gel” for me. She’s got a great life, and by all appearances she’s not lacking anything in that department from her husband, so why would she risk everything for a fling? I adore Diane Lane, but I had a very difficult time feeling anything but disdain for that character, because her choices were stupid.
4. It is not required that you “manscape.” However, your chances of getting a blow job are directly proportional to how well-kept the lawn is. Just saying.
5. We really don’t. Most of us go through a phase — usually in our early 20’s, when we’re on our own for the first time and trying to establish who we are as individuals, separate from our parents and their beliefs/expectations — where the ‘bad boy’ is attractive. With few exceptions, we will date one or two of these ‘bad boys’ before tiring of their shenanigans and moving on to men worthy of our attention. The popularity of the ‘bad boy’ stereotype has less to do with the guy himself, and more to do with remembering ourselves way back when, before our boobs hung to the floor, and our name was officially changed to, “MommyMommyMommyMommyMommy!!”
6. Two points here.
A: After 10 years, my husband has a pretty solid grasp of what I will eat, and what I won’t. When his “suggestion” is sushi — knowing that I view raw fish as “bait” — I do not consider it a true suggestion. If he doesn’t want to have this conversation, he needs to pose viable options.
B: Husband has also figured out that, if he takes the initiative to pick a place (and if he’s really feeling skippy, to find a sitter!) BEFORE I’m hangry, he’s much more likely to eat what he wants. 🙂
7. Motorcycles are stupid. Can you say, “organ donor”? And I totally don’t “get” the dressing-up-as-a-big-tough-biker thing; if you know anything about the genesis of the biker gangs, it’s not something anyone with any sense would want to emulate! (And don’t GET me started on the women who do this — why on earth would you want to perpetuate one of THE most misogynistic social constructs ever created?!)
8. My purse is probably the ONE place where I have retained any semblance of control. It’s very organized, and after he’s done pawing through it, I can’t find any of my stuff for days. (Plus, my wallet is not an ATM. If you need cash, drive your happy butt to the bank, just like I had to!)
9. OMFG, is bald sexy! Still trying to convince hubs to give up the #1, and just shave it. Facial hair, not so much; I’ve never been a fan. (And whoever decided the ‘flavor saver’ looked good should be forced to have ALL his body hair waxed off!)
10. AXE should be banned; it smells like aerosolized chocolate-scented cat urine. Cologne, on the other hand, is delightful, provided that a) it’s not overpowering; and b) it complements your body chemistry. The hubs wears this very subtle vanilla-y cologne that makes my mouth water!

A friend buys you underwear ?? Seems odd to me but I am a dude.

It seems everyone is in agreement with manscaping so it might have to become a regular thing since it is an “odds increaser” …

Anytime you want to share the football star story, I’ll be listening : )

I think the “not speaking the same language” comment is valid. Takes many years to figure each other out : )
