Are you dressing down for your Man?
When your spouse comes home from work what are you wearing? Sweatpants maybe. Is your hair in a ponytail? Do you have lipstick on? You probably are dressing down for him and don’t even realize it.
Think back to when you started dating your spouse. Remember the excitement you felt as you rushed to get all dolled up for him. Did you Spritz on a little cologne, wear nail polish?
There was a comment I heard from a Latino Gal who said that “American women dress for comfort” while Latino women dress to impress their men. That got me thinking that maybe she’s right, because as I’m
writing this article I’m barefoot, wearing stretch pants and a baggy tee shirt. My Hair is in a ponytail and I have no makeup on. And yes, I am comfortable. But, 30 minutes or so before he’s due home; I change into something a tad nicer, do something with my hair, and brush on some mascara.
So are you in the comfort zone too? Most likely you are if you are a stay at home Mom or retired. Just out of curiosity I emailed a group of women friends and asked them a few questions covering this topic
The questions I asked them were:
Do you change out of comfortable clothes into uncomfortable clothes before your spouse gets home?
Is your hair always in a ponytail?
Are your fingernails polished?
It seems the younger and recently married girls did get dressed up before their husbands showed up. And the women that have been married for a longer length of time stayed the way they dressed earlier in the day. No make up, nor nail polish. Hmmm! Maybe the Latino girl is right.
Well Ladies maybe we should take this as a hint and think about dressing up for our man instead of dressing down. Just try it once and see what his response will be; who knows maybe he will think he forgot a dinner date or something! This could be a free ticket to town.
