Jane use to be so attractive. She was fun, conversational, engaging and sexy. Lots of men wanted her and few were successful. She was nice to everyone but only dated the best guys. She wanted the good life that a man with money and success could offer. She had a way of attracting the most handsome and successful men.
But now two painful divorces later the bloom has come off the rose. I could not believe it when I saw her last. It had been almost a year since her last divorce and she had changed big time. Gone were the flowing long locks replaced with a manish butch haircut. Gone also was the shapely figure, it was replaced with a boxy build and a mid section that looked like she was pregnant. She had gained almost 60 pounds. But it was her personality that had changed the most. Gone was the fun, flirty sexy girl I knew. It had been replaced by an angry manish figure that never smiled.
We asked her what was happening and her response was she had given up men and sex. And just gave up on all that beauty stuff. Is it permanent, who knows, is it sad, sure is. Bad marriages can kill a woman! Can you relate?
So she's shallow and materialistic and gets pissed off when her marriages fall apart. Sounds like her physical appearance now matches her inner self.
LOL. Thats what I was thinking. Also, now that she's older and fat, she realizes that no man wants her, so this is her way of rebelling or trying to save face because her sense of identity has always been her looks and her men. Now, both are gone and never to return and she knows that she'll live the rest of her life alone and sad.
There's nothing wrong with the changes she made in her life. It sounds like her looks were superficial anyway, and she's chosen to be more natural.
I'll never understand why some people consider it "manish" when a woman cuts her hair short and stops wearing makeup. There's nothing manish about it. It's just called being natural.
Back in my early 20's, my best friend got married and moved away. I hadn't seen her for over a year when she and I decided to meet for a visit.
I was shocked when I saw her. I had always known her to be a high-maintenance glamour queen. Long, fussy hair, lots of makeup, long painted fingernails, high-fashion, etc.
But she cut her hair into a pixie short cut, was wearing zero makeup, and had jeans, t-shirt and sneakers on. She looked SO different.
I studied her, and I decided I liked her new look a lot better than the old. I asked her about the change, and she said that her husband preferred her more natural. I asked her how she felt about that, and she said at first it felt odd, and she felt plain and unattractive. But over time she began to really embrace her new look and all the freedom her low-maintenance routine gave her.
She didn't look "manish" at all. She just looked like a woman with short hair and no makeup.
