    How would you women feel about your partner not caring about his appearance, i mean not even trying to dress nice, go to the mall with you with tatty cut - out pants made into shorts, abit dirty, a shirt with a couple of holes and stained, (He says its clean,its been washed) but you can see its not looking nice. And he is bare foot aswell., he is always like this no matter what amount of clothes you buy him. I buy him a new shirt and new pants and not long and he has worked on some dirty job at home wearing them and ruined them with grease etc. Happens again and again, how would you feel about that? I feel ashamed to be seen with him like that in public as he looks like a homeless person . Does it mean i do not love him enough because it affects me?? Would you love some one no matter how yucky they dress because they just do not care or would it make you love them less and feel ashamed?? I want my man to dress nice and care about his appearance but he does not. Guys, are any of you out there like this?? Why is he like this? please no silly answers, i am serious. person He is my ex - husband and he has been wanting to get back together, but it really puts me off with the way he doesnt care about looking half decent. (Always was like this and has not changed) I did try when i was with him, hopelessly.

    Well at uni i was a good friend with a girl (at least i thought i was). While at uni we did help each other when needed. Well when we left uni she started to act strange. She has been ignoring my calls and texts for no reason. I know i have not upset her at all. This has been happening since Spetember. I know that she could be busy but to not reply to my text and to ignore nearly all my calls shows that she wants to ignore me. I have been told this in secret form her friend and have been told to act as if i am not aware about it. Now what i want to know is what should i do? I will totally ignore her and remove her as a friend on fb (although that seems childish). but if and when i see her what shall i say? I am saying this becasue we do have common friends. Shall i question her about why she has been ignoring me. I know that we can lose in touch with people but this si totally out of the blue and strange. I have given her some space. I mean i stopped calling her for months and when i did she still did not really talk

A few days have passed already and its killing me not getting to be with her It feels like she has just broke up with me. we talk on the phone but after a while the feeling comes back... is there anything i can do to make this go away. i can't do anything without thinking about her non stop.
  • My student has a crush on me, how do i deal with this?

    I am a 10th grade male American History Teacher, and I am absolutely positive that one of my students has a crush on me, this has happened before and I know the signs, the only difference this time is that the student is a boy. I always catch him staring at me with his head dreamily resting on his hand when I look over at him. I'm a little bit worried this might start something I don't know how to handle, if ever something does come up, is there a special way to handle it? I've never had another guy crush on me before.
  • How to approach and talk to this girl in my spanish class?

    She's a freshman, I'm a sophomore. I need advice on this, I'm shy and so is she, she barely talks in class and so do I. She sits across the room, sometimes I notice her staring at me and when I stare back she looks away. And even when I look somewhere near her, I can still see her eyes lookin at me. I'm really shy when it comes to approaching girls, It's been 3 years since I had a girl. Sad, I know. I'm not bad looking at all, but it's my shyness that turns girls off. I need some advice on this. Thanks.
  • Beautiful friend dating....insecure arrogant loser?

    Singles & Dating - 10 hours ago

    Additional Details

    My friend is so smart, she is well educated, super gorgeous and is the most kind, modest, caring warm hearted friend I could have, she is utterly selfless and just so giving polite and respectful. A guy has been dating her for a week now and already he's a jerk. he is not so intelligent, very unnatractive, arrogant, very insecure with low self esteem. They hav been out on three dates and already he is trying to control her, telling her how much make up to wear, what clothes to wear, what she should eat at restaurants. He also constantly says things to get a rise out of her. What is funny is that she is so smart and exhudes an inner strength that he is too stupid to see so she can see right through him and turns it back on him and he can't handle it. How can she end it with him, bearing in mind that he (attempts) to be manipulative and controlling. He is such a weak worthless loser. She deserves much better he is just intimidated by her brains and her beauty and I think he is jealous of her.

Recipe for a perfect man

Posted Thu, Oct 29, 2009
POST A COMMENT »

The holiday season is in full swing, at least within the confines of my kitchen, and I've been fine-tuning my recipes in hopes of truly perfecting them this year.

I mean, I've got a check list that I want to accomplish before my next birthday hits, and perfecting my very own pie recipe is on the list. Why? I dunno, but I'm a girl. We are kooky sometimes.

Then I think to myself: wouldn't our lives be so much more simple if it all followed a recipe?

Like, let's say...the perfect man?

Does he exist?? It's a big ask, and to be quiet honest, I don't think there is such a thing as a 'perfect man'. One that pleases each and every palate out there? Doubtful.

We all have different personalities we gravitate towards and some of us need complimentary partners, while others appreciate like minded individuals, but there is one common slice that, when it comes to attraction, I think we all look for in a partner. Appearance.
And I don't mean being drop dead gorgeous, tall, fit, or any other descriptors that apply to models, actors, or the genetically blessed. I mean the idea of presenting yourself, if you will allow, as your own perfected recipe. Cleanliness, being 'put together' etc., appeals to all of us.

This really is a recipe I've concocted for all the guys out there, so listen up.
Doesn't matter if you aren't Clooney or Pitt. As far as I am concerned, these ingredients below appeal to most, if not all women out there.

PERFECT MAN RECIPE

1 x nose/ear hair trimmer: unacceptable to not be taken care of. You want us to be up close and personal? Then we expect your little stragglers in the caves to be removed. No exceptions.

1 x solid and manageable hair style: you don't want to look coiffed and over done and we would never ask that of you either. Just something that works for you and your hair. Maybe taking a step above the soap-and-rinse in the shower. Maybe a styling aide that isn't gel? Try a curl crème for hold on your unruly locks or a putty for a messy, bed-head look.

1 x skin care regime: a teeny tiny bit goes a long long way. Some suggestions are right here.

1x man-icure: you don't need polish, you don't need to even buff, but trying your hand at a man-icure to help moisturize your cuticles (or remove them if they are over grown) and slough off the dead skin that will accumulate come these cold months will better your chances of laying those hands on us girls. I mean, holding the hands of your girl (get your mind out of the gutters, people).

Optional: interaction with a wax strip or razor in a not-so-common area, where needed
If it is warranted, get rid of the rug on your back by visiting a professional waxer to rip, I mean, rid you of that fleece. If you value a better smelling self, shave under your arms. Less hair there means less chance of bacteria and odour catching and releasing a not-so-fresh scent all day long.

There it is. The first version of my 'perfect man' recipe. It's a work in progress, and could use some collaborative suggestions. Feel free list out a few elements or tweak the formula that best suits your desires.
Perhaps recco. something that that you think guys could benefit from.

Overall, I think it comes down to one over all idea: Think 'clean'.

Why?

'Cuz chicks dig it.

    i think pedicures should be added to this list. feet may not get the same "face time" and are hidden away, but sandpaper-like, crackly, dry feet are much much worse than a footlong nose hair. nasty feet says "i'm a sloppy lover".

    Yes I agree with Oynkiel11 also, I hate it when my feet get dry and unrouly so I wouldn't like it in my man either. I gotta say Bahar you hit the nail right on the head. A good smelling man is a good man :O) Take care!
