I am married. We don't spend lavishly on my wife's appearance, but I have no problem when she spends money on her appearance and I would have no problem with the amount spent going up in proportion to our wealth. To be clear, I am not talking "glamor" or "sexuality", I am simply talking about a woman putting effort into her appearance. It has nothing to do with party lines, I would assume Hilary Clinton would spend more money and time on her appearance than Bill Clinton. I would expect men to invest time in the "gym", rather than getting their hair styled, eyebrows waxed, and fingers manicured. Birkenstocks, T-shirts, khaki shorts with unshaven arms and legs don't work for women wanting to be credible in my book. I can honestly accept my bias and what I am, I don't think I could have admitted that a few months ago. I am making progress, slowly, but it is progress.
