Yup... Perfume, like make-up should be slathered on in small doses. Certainly a good candidate for the origins of the phrase, "Less is more..." |

Well, perfume originally was a substitute for bathing--but I hope that we have evolved beyond that. My mother never wore perfume because my father was allergic to most perfumes, so I never associated women with perfume when I was younger. For some reason, I also don't like makeup. |

Do guys really prefer women to go for the soap, no make-up, au natural, hairy legs/arm-pits...? |

OK, I'm going to be honest here. My wife wears make-up when she goes to work or has something important to do, but she doesn't otherwise. She doesn't use perfume, she doesn't shave her legs, and she only shaves her armpits during the summer. None of this bothers me in the least, and in my eyes my wife is beautiful. |

Well, I agree with Suho1004 on this...my girlfriend doesn't shave her underarms or wear make-up...to be blunt, I don't really like women with make-up on. Why? Hmmm...well, I like honesty...and real people, I guess. That's one of the things I really like about my girlfriend...no games, or roles to play. Just a good, honest relationship between two people who can just be themselves. Very nice, really. And I don't have to wait hours to use the bathroom.. |

I think we all agree that soap is a must. But as for the make up and shaving, I could care less if she shaves, my only request is that if she does, keep caught up. Stubble bugs guys as much as you ladies. As long as it is not obvious (a skill most people seem to lack) I don't really care. |

I think the woman should at least shave her facial hair: beard, mustache etc. |

That's true kit. I have a friend who got breast implants (I tried my hardest to talk her out of it), and since the operation I have seen a remarkable difference in her self confidence (positive change). I think the prevailing thought here is that there is such a thing as too much though. |

Get a grip. Self-confidence comes from within, not from without...and I don't mean implants, either. |

Hey, I said all those things to her about implants not being the answer to all her problems too, but the fact of the matter is that she became more confident after the operaton. Now I don't know what to think about it. |

Well, it's a case of 'false confidence', sort of that which a 'ripper' gets...immediate results build on a 'unstable' fundament...in the case of implants, they have to be 'regularly' checked (every ten years, or so...how do I know that? Well, my girlfriend works as an assistant to a Gynacologist, my younger sister is a registered Nurse, and my older sister is a Doctor...and they all have come back with the same answer...breast implants must be 'renewed' every ten years, or so...and the 'risks' are high, much higher than one is led to believe...). The confidence 'boost' is short lived...true self-confidence must start from inside...and, of course, in the case of implants, the skin of the breast is stretched, which means that with time, either a) one must get new implants, that are bigger, or b) one must remove some of the stretched skin surgically. |

WebShaman: - I agree things like breast enlargements - is more often than not a *false confidence* - and perhaps one day, this woman will look in the mirror and regret her decision, maybe during a check-up like you mentioned? or if something were to go wrong...? (icky!) |

Yup. I think you nailed it on the head. It's mostly just a point of view. Other societies, other values. |

Well, I guess I will have to make sure I am there for her fi and when she looses that false confidence. On the plus side she is seeing a shrink to work on the underlying problems too. |
