Well, I'm glad. It did what it was supposed to do. Now maybe you'll read this
thinking "just let him say the wrong thing and I'll rip him or her again., however you choose to view me.
First of all, what propted me to write this thread was actually a young man age 23 who cooks for me. I only chose to use the makeup thing because the forum is comprised of mostly ladies, real and otherwise. I knew that would fire you up. The truth is, my wife wears no makeup most of the time. That's her choice and that's ok. I suppose we make an odd pair going shopping, her in bluejean and sweatshirt and me all dressed up.
Back to the young man. He has a job in computer science and can't get a job in his field. Why? He is a slob and lacks comunication skills; until he learns how to sell himself, he will never work in his field.
The fact is life is a salesjob if you want to get anywhere. We know when it's necessary to make a supersales effort and you GG's know if makeup is a must or when it can slide and yes you can sell yourself without makeup. For us CD's , esspecially those who go out in public, we sell something we genetically are not. How hard is that?
My ex daughter-in-law chose a sheer sleeved wedding dress that exposed
her totally tatooed arms and it was the first time we met her. Our first impression was correct and she was what she was.
I live near a hignschool and I see the students come home everyday looking like the young man who can't get a job in computers. Have we become so lax and comfortable that our children and grandchildren have no one to emulate. If that's the case, we must do better. I think a could do better
in the male mode.
So for those men who look like they haven't shaved in 3 days, you look like a scuzz and while you might be able to make a tv commersal or movie, you have done nothing to help this guy get a job!
Has life gotten so fast for all of us to look ok, not necessarily pretty,beautiful
gorgeous, dapper, dashing or hansom? Can't we do better at looking ok.
Shouldn't we expect this younger generation to understand appropriate?
to all
