Sometimes I truly wish I was born a girl.
Not because of any sexual desires or anything, because I’m sure I’d still swing both ways if the gender fairy had been kinder to me.
Women have so many more options when it comes to clothing choice. Not just colours or patterns, but cuts, shapes and flattering designs are freely available in women’s wear. A woman that’s flirting with the larger side of life, can find a flattering A-line skirt or dress with a higher heel to compliment her figure. A fat man however, can.. well, he can buy bigger pants. The same goes for those on the skinny side of the fence ( I hate all of you, btw). A slimmer woman can either accentuate her slim figure, or disguise it and wear figure changing clothing. A skinny man can… well, he can buy skinny pants.
A woman can easily wear men’s clothing, and the majority of people wouldn’t blink an eye. For a man to get away with a skirt, he’d be deemed to be eccentric, a cutting edge figure in the fashion world, a screaming queen, or all of the above.
Personally, I find nothing sexier than a woman wearing only an oversized business shirt around the house. Lingerie be damned! On the other hand, I’m not sure there’s too many women that would find it appealing for their man to throw on a negligee while making the morning coffee.
Don’t even get me started on the shoe choices!
Women can wear make up to change their appearance, be it to make themselves look prettier, hide an unsightly blemish, or to be more attractive to a potential mate. Sure, guys can too, and I must say my eyes really pop with a good eyeliner, but it’s not exactly socially or professionally acceptable if we’re really honest about it.
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.
A dog is man’s best friend.
Really.
Forget sparkly and beautiful jewellery to either frame a gorgeous face, highlight perfectly painted nails, or to draw the gaze to the flawless milky white skin leading up to a nuzzle worthy neck.
We men just need a hairy animal with stinky breath and a brain that can’t figure out whether we threw the ball or not, to stand beside us to make us feel special.
Okay, maybe not all.
Some of us can harness the inner queen…
