And I really like the no make-up look myself--I rarely wear any at all except a little lipstick. But if someone that I had been dating for two weeks suggested that I should start wearing more make-up I would be more than offended. At age 29 I've met a few "control freaks," and it always starts out with some minor little thing "for my own good."

Like I said, I don't really even like make-up. I find that most men either don't care or don't like it, but to some women, it is really important. I have an aunt who looks like she puts on make-up with a trowel--but she wouldn't take out the trash in the morning without putting on make-up first. She just doesn't feel dressed without it. This would be an interesting thread in the Ladies Lounge.

With your permission, I'll re-post your opening in the Ladies Lounge--men can read, but can't post there--and you should get some interesting perspectives. I think that is all right to do, I've seen it done before. If not, I guess the Mods can remove it.

Control freak?

Everyone finds flaws in everything, including yourself; some people arn't brave enough to voice them though.

As for the make up issue I think it's more of a compliment then a complaint. He is saying that he is attracted to the girl, not the makeup, and that he likes her natural. In my opinion it's very hard to find someone you are extremely attracted to when they are o-natural. Comfortable love is hard to find.

As for the hair issue. Pick your battles dude. If it is that big, it's fine to encourage grooming, but don't tell her it freaks you out. Pick your battles. And a Treasure Trail certainly isn't World War Three... it's more of a classroom debate. I say leave it be.

Hope that helps
