DazedandConfused66 Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 There are many internet services that allow you to anonymously submit a message to a persons' email account telling them that they have bad breath, facial hair, BO or other. Google it....I've used it with an employee who dressed WAAAAAY too provocatively in the office and, being a small business owner, I just didn't know how to tell her without it coming across as a sexist or perv comment. It worked like a charm...she was due for a bonus payout and I sent the anonymous email right after she got it, so I knew she had some extra spending money to buy new clothes. Never again did she wear the mini-dress and Deep-V blouse. You could also send her an anonymous text message on the same topic just using the wireless-providers cell phone txt message sending function. Verizon, AT&T/Cingular, Sprint and Tmobile all offer this on their respective websites. Trust me...if she got a friendly and discreet comment like this, she'd pay attention to it.
uniqueone Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 I agree with NoraJane on this...either way you lose. I also agree that you want a Barbie Doll [gets up on soapbox] Excuse me but where did we get the idea that women were hairless creatures? I mean c'mon...it's gotten so that women can no longer have hair on their bodies at all anymore....not on their legs, not in their "bikini" area, not under their arms, nowhere. And take a minute to think about it. Why is that? Why is it that men are allowed to be "as-is".....right out of the package, so to speak, but women must do a myriad of contortions to her body in order to be considered acceptable to society? Personally I like smooth legs but if I didn't, then so be it. It shouldn't be something that I feel that I HAVE to do in order to be considered acceptable as a woman. What message does this give women by saying that they aren't ok "as-is"? So she's got peach fuzz....next you'll be complaining that her eyebrow hairs bother you....maybe her eyelashes too. Maybe we could just put Nair on our entire bodies and be done with it. This reminds me of the types of men who are nothing to look at and aren't in shape but insist that they'll only date thin women. UGH!

You're putting "peach fuzz" in the same category as BO and bad breath? Two are personal hygeine matters...lack of cleanliness. One is not.

That's just so professional of you..... Did Lettitia Baldridge recommend this?
loverly Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Best suggest to her to wax her face and be a good example by using the way on yourself first. Seriously, the nerve of some people. If you came up with that topic to me, you'd be sporting whatever I was drinking on your shirt next.
uniqueone Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Best suggest to her to wax her face and be a good example by using the way on yourself first. LOL...that reminds me of the guy who wants anal sex with his girlfriend and she says "Here, let's try it on YOU first!" :laugh:

One is not. If my SO's peach fuzz distracted me enough that I'd avoid getting intimate with her, you betcha I'd lump it in with BO and bad breath. Since when did talking about something that bothers you with someone else become an attack on the entire sex? What's your email address btw?
lindya Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Probably more in the thousands, lindya. Quality electrolysis is not cheap and doesn't last a lifetime for many people. Here's a new line of product someone could make a mint on. A facial waxing kit, where it's one big piece of plastic, with eyes and mouth holes cut out. You could use one sheet per day, if you're really fuzzy. Slap it on and rip before your shower every morning, so your man can't see that tiny glint, in optimum lighting conditions... Like those cloths you get that are impregnated with skin nutrients. Obviously you'd use one of those after the waxing session. I think at some point we should ask for a list of guys' expectations, in respect of their women's personal grooming, then start a "beauty routine" thread outlining time and cost involved in maintenance.
underpants Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 This thread is funny. I am reminded of a time long ago. After 2 years of dating I pinned my boyfriend down with my knees on his elbows and attacked his 3 monobrow hairs with my tweezers. Then we made sweet love.

Facial tea oil compresses are so lovely... Oh, do start one. It will cost you an annualized fee of $6,452,578.25, which puts you in the category of uber high-maintenance men.
Timberlane Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 LOL...that reminds me of the guy who wants anal sex with his girlfriend and she says "Here, let's try it on YOU first!" :laugh: Ha ha ha. I wonder if the OP was willing to wax his butt cheeks? No doubt they too are hairy.
White Flower Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 On a more serious note, does anyone remember the scene in Fatal Attraction when Michael Douglas is standing behind his wife, looking at them both in the mirror and regretting what he's done. Her shoulders are bare and he is admiring how beautiful she is as the light illuminates a slight peach fuzz on her shoulders and arms. I can't remember the actress who played the wife, but the photography in that scene has stayed with me for years because of how stunning she looked. Her beauty was enhanced by the fuzz. What about Gwenyth Paltrow in Great Expectations in the scene where Ethan Hawk draws her sketch while she lay naked on the bed? There are thousands of little blonde hairs covering her legs and thighs that glistened in the window light. It wasn't distasteful at all. The actress who played Michael Douglas' wife in Fatal Attraction was Anne Archer. What a natural beauty!
uniqueone Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Answer this question: Why is hair ok on a man's body and not a woman's? Why? Because society....the media....etc....told us so and it's increased as time's gone on. People need to learn to think on their own and not be lemmings. I too have been affected by societal influences and it has probably influenced my preference for liking to have shaved legs, etc... But I'm not one to say "Ew!" when I see a woman who doesn't.
jcster Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I wonder how much of this "anti-hair" issue has to do with media. I know that in the last 10 years the trend has gone rabidly anti-hair. I think it started in porn, at least with the whole "bikini area" hairlessness (that was quite a shock when I became single after 10 years of marriage, let me tell you). And, Photoshopped models are so airbrushed that there is no hint of body hair to be seen - I'm sure the actual humans have just as much "peach fuzz" as the rest of us.
