Cause she's insecure and seems kind of mean, whereas the girl in the advertisement seems nice

He tells me that since I have no income as a stay at home mom that I have no say how he spends his money and last time I brought it up to him he threatened to take my own $250 away that I use for the services that I actually feel I need.

Could he be cheating? Going mentally insane? Or using at as an excuse to perv on these poor women that have to deal with his disgusting man body.

Because he's doing abstinence, which involves shutting down getting turned on by all media and people. It's not like I can be all "I'll not be turned on by sexy actresses, but be turned on by my girlfriend only and also ALL THE TIME"

You want a partner who is only turned on by you, then you gotsta bring the heat.

A rough allegory would be someone saying "he has an alcohol problem so is trying to swear off all other alcohol... so why does he have qualms with quaffing my home brewed beer?"

The salon dude probably about to come out as gay or transgender. No straight man gets lash extensions.

He seems like a controlling dick, but his wife needs to take the beam out of her own eye before trying to take the mote out of her husband's when it comes to salon expenditures.

I've been trying, just as a thought exercise, to come up with a bi/straight friend of mine who has ever got lash extensions. I can't.

Can someone come up with a reason? Like it's okay to be married and bi, but when you're married and bi AND wasting money on lash extensions... that just doesn't fit any of the sexuality puzzles I've encountered.

honestly, how many gay dudes get lash extensions? there's plenty of straight transvestites, but this hypothetically real OP with her pseudo-woke church lady routine is definitively not into men.

All I can come up with is husband going to an extreme to make a point of 'oh, you don't like when I spend hundreds on beauty treatments? Well now you know how I feel!' :argh:

Then again:

quote:

I’m willing to perform most of his services including waxing at home so I don’t see why he needs to go out for it?

As for myself, society judges women heavily based on looks and I don’t trust myself to do as good enough of a job as a need to. Especially on my feet, which I can’t effectively reach anymore due to getting older and putting on weight from having children.

I could probably reduce spending in my end though but would still probably need like $150/mo.

Yeah, that's a decent point. Lash extensions are just odd, independent of sexuality, unless there's a performance angle. At least from the gay/bi/straight dudes I've known in entertainment/news industries... which is a few dozen

It occurred to me that perhaps a stage actor might wear them, but we never did when I was doing drama in high school and a cursory Google search did not reveal anything. I'm not totally sober so it's possible I am missing something, but I kind of think they would look wrong vs the normal eyeliner tbh.

I know a bunch of male newscasters who do that sort of grooming. I asked a few of them, and they all said, "falsies are like a one-time $250 thing, this is a front"

Exactly! And my friends who are newscasters don't even care about just skimping on falsies. There is definitely a "I need to spend money to prove a point" thing going on here.

Edit: Now I'm asking my female newscaster friends about eyelash extensions vs. just using falsies. For a baseline and because this sort of thing fascinates me (the amount of weird stuff people have to do to be on camera)

Fwiw I know a good handful of female higher-ups -- not on camera at all, just six-figure professionals -- who do lash extensions. The point is it's a once-a-month thing and then you don't need to spend time on mascara every morning. If I had the kind of money where it was nbd, I would prob do it too (although not as fast as I would do microblading, I would do that immediately)

If he had alopecia he might need it, but I think she'd mention that. Plus he grows hair elsewhere. Or if he had really sparse lashes, but there's medication for that. I think he just likes having strangers touch his privates.

between popular media telling women that they're "eating for two" while pregnant and Americans naturally tending toward a sedentary fatty lifestyle as a form of stress relief, it's actually become very common for new parents (fathers included) to put on a bunch of weight

the average american is becoming more and more like jabba the hutt even when they're not a parent and parenthood definitely puts on some pounds
