Is ANYTHING real/natural/as God intended, that you SEE on most adult, western women?

I think most women do not color their hair, at least those who I see on a daily basis. Certainly makeup is very prevalent, as is shaving.

I guess AAA lives in places where the well dressed ladies look like this:

If you think most women don't color their hair (or at least highlight/lowlight) you are sadly mistaken.

He has a good point, a major cultural shift has quietly happened in the last five years. What was once exotic is now quite standard. Once reserved for erotic dancers, Brazilian bikini wearers, and decadent Hollywood actresses is now a completely ordinary practice for soccer moms, church ladies, and elementary school teachers. It's the new normal!

A local newsmagazine writer, Jane Adams, wrote a piece for the a webzine Newsplink in March 2009, called "The Pudenda Agenda" Jane interviewed a few of the women at her fitness club, and the most oft-heard reason was some variation on "men expect it" I personally don't, but then, I'm a 50 year-old male, not a 25-year-old male, the girlie magazines I grew up on didn't feature this grooming habit, now, it's almost militantly adhered to in porn. Who are these young guys who 'expect' this? Women with normal pubic hair are now called "hairy". I object to this characterization.

Since grooming pubic hair is a private matter, no one really has meaningful statistics, but bare pubes are clearly more popular and normal than they were a few years ago. If you're a girl, and many of your peers are doing it, young women are likely to go along, as it's normalized, like any other kind of grooming. Also, as I'm sure many of you know, many women report a completely personal (self-gratifying) motive for doing it, having nothing to do with men. :monkey:

Q: what do you call a woman with natural pubic hair?
A: a nonconformist.

Strange, isn't it?

Next thing you know public pressure will force us guys to lose our beer guts and do sit ups every day! :-) I think many people could spend a bit more time on their appearance, at least I know I could.

Grecian Formula, Just for Men, sunscreens, shave creams, skin creams, hand creams, getting them hooked young with "body sprays", hair mousse and pimple creams, toupees, Hair Club for men, pec implants, chin implants, "male enhancement" potions.

If I'm reading the numbers right, men's cosmetics has already crossed the multi-billion dollar threshold. Nowhere near the women's mark I'm sure, but hefty enough to make stone throwing a bit of an awkward exercise. :biggrin:
