In England during the war, women would do anything for U.S. parachutes...apparently.
Gravy browning was a poor substitute too.

What use do nylons have? They don't really keep you warm. I suppose they wick sweat away from shoewear. I've heard claims that they can help reduce symptoms of vericose veins. Meh...I'm not convinced. I think it may be a big conspiracy concocted by nylon companies...but I'd have to investigate to see if my hypothesis is correct.

Besides all that...they are really effing uncomfortable and if your legs aren't perfectly smooth and hairless when you put them on they itch like hell.

In short...I believe they are from the devil.

i dont know yall. i think a little make-up and lipstick is so hot. Women who wear nylons and and high heels are sexy as hell. If i wanted no make-up and hairy legs i would date guys.

oh.. i got one... what is up with women who shave off their eyebrows then draw those scary ones on? I was at the pool and this girl got in, her fake brows washed off. she looked like a penis. haha

To amuse myself I like to imagine people whom I see wearing bright red lipstick kissing someone passionately with the result being that they both end up with splotches of lipstick smeared all over their faces. Ooo...so glamorous...NOT! What's the point of having a face covered with make-up so you can't kiss or else you'll muss up the make-up, and you can't cry or else your mascara will run?

Sometimes you just want to look pretty though. xD

If you go to a special event or something, you're not always expecting to get it ON! =P

i must agree. on occasion though. women who dress like that alot are usually annoying and spoiled. i like dressing up at the weekend though.

as for guys with make me,....no thank you

Say, VeggieLover and savannah, this is interesting because my reaction to men vs. women wearing makeup is exactly the opposite of yours. If I see a man wearing makeup I partly think, cool, he's brave, and I find bravery very attractive. Someone with his own style, like Adam Ant, the singer, back in his heyday, always appealed to me. If I see a woman wearing makeup, then I...well, I guess it is so common that I don't really notice it much...or I start thinking about how it would taste (not good), as I mentioned in a previous post!

Hey wad--it actually sounds refreshingly forward-thinking to believe that the only difference between men and women comes down to whether they wear make-up or have their leg hair! What happens, though, when you wake up in the morning and the "woman" next to you is sportin' no facial goop and "her" unshaven leghair stubble is starting to feel like a manly 5 o'clock shadow? What then? Will love conquer all...or will you reclassify said woman as man and run screaming from the room? Does makeup just "get people in the door" and then they can be their true selves once you love them?

Vegan - who was talking about love? All I'm saying is I like a girl who dolls herself up every now and then. You can try all you want but you will never convince me that there is anything wrong with that. Btw my current girlfriend occasionally misses

I disagree, I think they can be super sexy, depending on what kind, how they're worn and who's wearing them.

That's not what he's saying, he's just saying there's nothing wrong with dressing sexy.
