Oh to be a guy!! Mind you, I don’t WANT to be a guy. Never did. Can’t remember anything but wanting to be totally feminine. But, being a guy HAS to have some advantages over us gals!
The most obvious thing about being a girl is well, being a “girl’. Make-up! Fancy fingernails! Massages and Pedicures! Hair! Clothes! High heels! Dangly earrings! Face creams! Oh such fun!
Do you remember the song made famous so many years ago, “I Enjoy Being a Girl”?.here are some of the verses:
I flip when a fella sends me flowers, I drool over dresses made of lace,
I stay on the telephone for hours, With a pound and a half of cream upon my face!
It’s true. All of it is true. But it can also be expensive! Oh boy, can it ever!
Fred doesn’t “get it”. How could he, or any other full blooded man? There is almost NO expense to maintaining FRED!
His legs are hairy and he doesn’t mind! We women shave our legs, and certainly as American women, we also shave our underarms. Fred wears his fingernails cut with the clippers right down to the nub. I polish and buff. He has never had his toenails painted, have you Fred?
Fred doesn’t sweat the wrinkles! We women do! And we will try anything that tells us that our wrinkles will go away! We don’t really believe it! But Fred? He knows it’s a lost cause and just doesn’t worry about it.
Most of his shirts are at least 10 years old, but he does get a new one at Christmas!
If he slathers on sun block when he is fishing it’s usually because I am telling him to put it on!
He does wear sun glasses, but that is all they are. Sun glasses. They are not state of the art, fancy, tinted sunglasses. They are just sun glasses.
I sat behind a 40’s aged guy and his family at an outdoor concert last summer. He was right in front of me. He was wearing sun glasses but he was doing all the trendy things with them. They were on top of his head. Then they had some fancy string attached to them. He wore jewelry. I studied him. He was an attentive father. His wife was pretty plain. She looked worn out. But he looked refreshed and stylish. Something was askew about this, but I can’t even dare to guess what?
The point is: Usually it’s the gals, the wives who are doing these things. She has the sweater tied over her shoulders, or the cute pony tail sticking through the ball cap.
Fred dresses for comfort. Big comfy shoes with the hole cut over the bunions, short sport sox. Shorts, plaid shirt, watch. That’s it! Easy.
Fred’s wife…that’s me. I have cute shoes on, and am carrying an extra pair with me in case my feet start to hurt. I have earrings on, and a cluncky bracelet. My hair has been blown dry and sprayed. I have cologne. Fred has his after shave. That’s it. I have a sporty outfit on calculated to hide my fat.
Fred doesn’t worry one way or another.
