Ready for a date, mate?

When it comes to dating I wish I was a boy instead of being a girl. its so much hassle to prepare for a date if you a girl, Not that I don't enjoy it and would stop doing it...but its just too much to do sometimes, espeically when the date is not what you expected.

A girl has to prepare so much; right from her head to her toes, its an expensive affair, both time wise and money wise.
Starting from the top,

her Hair has to be nicely colored and shampooed and set.
eyebrows well shaped
Proper make up, even if you not the make-up sorts (I am glad I am Indian with brown skin, wonder how much pain the white gals have to take) a basic foundation, with powder, mascara, eyeliner, lipstick, lipliner. Not to forget, you have to plan what color lipstick also whether matt or glossy.
hands and legs waxed
hands well manicured, nails well shaped and colored (if u really fancy color that much)
good pedicure, toe nails well shaped and colored.
depending on where you going, need to plan your dress, perfume, hairdo and footwear too.

All the boy has to do is
Take a shower(apply some gel if he has hair on his head and wants it spiky, else doesnt even have to bother doing that)
wear a shirt and a trouser(a jacket maybe),
shoes and socks
spray some perfume,
carry wallet,
buy some flowers(these days they dont even do that :-()

thats it....the boy is ready for a date.
Now check the animal species, its totally different there, I think its one of GOD's ways to balance things out :)

I am sure....the male species in animals would understand and relate to the feelings of the female species of us humans.
for example, consider the peacock,

he takes so much efforts to attract a peahen, maintain his feathers, spread them when he sees her and dance for her too....whereas all the peahen has to do is chose between which colored feather she likes the most, the green, the blue or white :)

On the other hand, it feels all worthwhile, when your date says, you look wonderful today, so guys if you going for a date, please dont forget to compliment your gal, and gals be nice...dont say, does that mean i dint look good yesterday? give a nice smile instead and say thank u or more better all for u ;)

Oh, men are visual creatures. So girls have to put in that effort. I knew some girls who undertook phenomenal efforts in ‘hiding’ fats even! No need to mention about temporary enhancements :P

But the truth is, it’s the same amount of effort for men also. We exercise, hide our bald scalps, work on our sense of humor…. Grooming, in short. And monumental is the effort that goes in researching on the compliments and sweet-nothing liners. Check out how many men sound like actors performing on their scripts when they compliment you ;)

i agree with reshma... its so much pain for a girl... the other day i saw a couple, girl being nicely dressed up and they guy with some clumsy shorts!
to correct some guys.... women r visual creatures too! Its not that we'll be happy with just the compliment!

Men: Don't forget the wallet, flowers and that perfume if you aren't ready to spend time grooming :).

there is a massive on-going research on this subject 'sexual attraction' which falls under these main categories:

Physical attractiveness
Visual perception (looks)
Olfaction (smell)
Audition (voice)

While the factors determining sexual attraction towards females is much more detailed but while in the males it is much to do with just two or three bullet points.

Men need to be masculine, likewise tall men are considered sexually much more attractive than short men!

Factors for women are endless; body shape, size, breasts, buttocks, hourglass shape, the handbag, the perfume, the shoe heels, her lipstick, lip-liner, mascara, eye-liner and whatnots...

its a never ending story....women are much complicated than men. Men are simple animals since cave age.
