Feel Free To Disagree
Donkey: What’s taking so long? We have to be there in 10 minutes.
Wife: I just can’t find anything to wear. I only have one outfit that looks halfway decent, but everyone saw me wearing it last week. I just feel like I look terrible no matter what I put on.
Donkey: Don’t worry about it. That doesn’t matter now that we’re married. Besides, everyone there has seen you before. I doubt you’ll surprise anyone.

every woman who comments on this will say something like “we don’t care what other people think, we care what we look like for us” bologne balls! they must care what other people think or else they would just do what is comfortable and easy. also if i try to go somewhere looking like i’m in pjs the wife says you need to look presentable- for who? not her because she doesn’t mind me looking like that at home, but becuase other people will see me and since i am married to her i am a reflection of her, i need to look descent so i don’t reflect poorly on her. who cares what you look like. i’m with the donkey

Just like farts may be seen as a way to measure feminity, dressing nicely, in the eyes of a woman can be seen as proper respect a man can give to that same woman. If he truly feels she should be “dainty” then she should also be respected for the effor that goes in all areas to be refined. This goes with clothes. You can’t argue for one you feel passionate for and then when teh ball is passed to the other court say it doesn’t count.
For women, regardless of WHO its for, we like to look nice (and reflect how confident we wish we were on the inside), on the outside. I constantly remind my husband to brush his teeth, I help him with decisions on hair cuts and matching ties. In the same respect he does my clothes and shoe shopping, and he’s really good at it, what would take me ages to pick out he can find because he knows looking good is important to me, and he can see me in 3-d and objectively.
When we’re at home we both tend to not care about that same standard, but it’s still important to us to care about our appearance, not for other peoples sake but for our own personal standards. Especially since if I take care of myself I have a better self-esteem. I think that’s the real hitch behind why women do what they do.
