I was taking about 'pretty' with my daughter last night. She is an attractive woman....very beautiful i'd say, but I'm bias. We were off to see a band last night. I spent an hour trying to make myself look presentable...she spent two minutes brushing her hair and she was done!! It never ever crosses her mind to attempt to look 'pretty' as long as she is happy with how she looks. I'm the same in my old age. I dont try to please others with my look....i simply do me!
At 21, i was all glamned up at an event and sonehow i got collered talking to some guy i wasnt remotely interested in. I didn't fancy him, didn't find him interesting and he just wouldnt 'get the hint'. He actually said to me.....'you'd actually look quite pretty if you bothered to smile'. I replied, ' i'd smile if I was remotely intetested in anything you had to say' he went on to give me advice on how I should behave if I wanted any man to be interested in me and said there was no point me trying to look pretty if i wasnt prepared to be gracious and accept compliments.....clearly in his mind, women trying to look pretty is for the benefit of the guys they meet.
What a t*sser he was!
I dont think I ever wanted to look 'pretty' ever again.
