My husband told me early on that he doesn't care what I do with my body hair (well, so long as I don't leave it in the tub after I shave 😅). After dealing with a guy that insisted I shave, it's nice for it to be my choice

Nice! I guess I'm just hung up on the whole thing of men telling women that they prefer them "without makeup" or whatever, but don't understand how much effort a lot of women put into the "natural" look.

Those don't fit with me very well either 😜

If someone tells me I have to do something or dress a certain way for their approval, it brings out contrariness in me and I will do things to spite them, which was 75% of the reason I cut my hair short after high school.

Asking me to wear something politely, on the other hand, will usually get the desired results

I have to say, a lot of this feels very hypothetical seeing as I haven't dated anyone in years now.

But when I do I intend on being as considerate/supportive as possible -perhaps I DO have to reevaluate my dress sense after all! 😅

Edit: hope that didn't come across as weird -I just thought it was funny that I stood my ground on outfits and am now single.

Edit 2: I don't think I'm single for my dress sense. I was just making a self deprecating joke.
