Lingerie Buying Academy for men

So do I. 

The high maintenance girls seem to do so much better. 

And so much more often.

Born  and early life = Somerset=Writes daft poetry
Middle childhood = Birmingham=Unintelligible accent
University onwards = London=High maintenance.

 

Wish I was high maintainance  

No you dont, I've had a couple of high maintenance exes and looking back I can't see a single reason why I didnt get the hell away from them at the first opportunity.

I've only skimmed it but to a certain extent what he says is true. However, having said that when beauty treatements and gym membership costs in this country come down to the same price they are in America then I am sure that British woman would bother more too.

I’m not saying that I’m the greatest prize out there, but at least I’d put on a clean shirt, shaved and brushed my teeth. Sophie tumbled into the house looking like a refugee from Hurricane Katrina. She smelt like the R&D lab at Philip Morris. Her outfit was about as sexy as a half-pound of ground meat. And, surely, the only time she’d seen the inside of a gym was to ask directions to the nearest pub. I was hurt that my friends thought I’d be remotely interested in Sophie. ...I sat there watching Sophie tuck into a second huge plate of shepherd’s pie and realised why no self-respecting American girl consumes carbohydrates after 2pm. I’m not surprised Sophie was having trouble finding a boyfriend. Regardless of whether she was interested in me or not, she was unwittingly sabotaging her own chances with any man.

That isn't terribly flattering. 

However, I've never been on a blind date. If I did go, I certainly wouldn't be eating shephards pie and certainly not two helpings of it!

What would you eat then?

Not someone who would likely meet a good cross section of either UK or US society. The American movie business? I'd imagine all the women he meets there are totally self obsessed.

I note that the women in the City are far better turned out and slimmer than those I see in Harlow shopping centre (for example). It's all down to where you look.

True, they do stop from 2 until 3pm, then shovel it down again for the next 23 hours.

It is a well known fact that American women are better groomed. But when you can walk into a salon there and for under £40 get a leg, bikini, underarm wax, manicure and pedicure then what do you expect? A similar set of treatments here would be the best part of £100.

About 12 inches below the eye-line usually.

I entirely agree, I was expecting more  , thasall

[Bar Wench]

Not from me. I grew up with a lot of American friends and still speak to some of them I am well aware of how they view British women. My American friends can't believe the way I look to go to work. It takes the vast majority of them one hour plus just on hair and makeup to go out in the morning. Plus at least two hours of professional grooming a week. I can't afford it and frankly can't be bothered either. But that is the normal expectation there.

Good grief! what must they look like when they first get out of bed?
