One that always annoyed me is when it is around the holidays, when stores advertise gifts for men. They always assume a guy is into toilet humor, beer humor, assuming they’re a lumberjack who needs to survive out in the wilderness, are into bbq-ing all of the time so gotta have those available all year around for some reason.

Even when I used to have identified myself as a guy, I never once fit into any of those traits. Just because guys grow beards, doesn’t always mean they’re chopping wood somewhere and always wearing plaid.

    Oh this hits so close to home. She does not spend that much but also not little. Does a 20 minute routine every night and morning with like 5 different products.

    Then goes and tells me she is jealous of my skin. I almost never wash my face directly even under the shower I just use water. And it’s somehow so much better than hers.

      I think that’s the issue. Letting the body take care of itself with its natural oils and just cleaning it with pure water is pretty good I think. Could do with a once in a while light scrub to get bacteria out of course, couple times a week maybe.

        Could do but I never did and have not really had any issues. She is constantly nagging me that I need to do skincare but I just cannot be bothered to do it for no gain. I do sometimes moisturise but that is it.

          Definitely don’t start anything, no. If your skin is healthy you need to tell her that starting now with a bunch of chemicals that the skin isn’t used to will more likely do damage than good if anything.
