How long does your partner take to 'get ready'?
Mine's typically about four hours of preparation

1) Shower (we all need those) : 30 minutes
2) Makeup : 1 hour 30 mins
3) Eye lash trimming : 30 minutes
4) Choosing something to wear : 30 minutes
5) Shoe/Boot selection : 30 minutes
5) 'Does my bum look big in this', 'does this go with this', 'youre just saying that because you love me' speech, 30 mins

And then the killer after the four hours is her saying 'what are you waiting for, let's go out'.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! Drives me potty!

Surely i'm not alone in this!

About the same mate, apart from the eyelash trimming.

Unless of course eyelash trimming is another phrase for tidying up downstairs.

It's mad, especially how she seems to insist that i'm there when she's about to start. A lot of foot tapping has to be done.

Re: How long does your partner take to 'get ready'?
It does amuse me when I see couples out together and the girl has obviously taken a great deal of care over her appearance as her hair is immaculately coiffeured and her clothes are chosen and worn with care yet she is happy to be seen out with a scruffbag wearing an old T shirt, dirty looking jeans and filthy shoes who looks as he hasn't changed his clothes in a week.

I'm going to shoot myself in the foot by telling you this (the wife posts on here occasionally)

Always so No to the first item, No to the second and no matter what the third looks like say she looks fantastic (she thinks she looks great , and that you care )

always works for me (or did, but hey, we all have to make sacrifices for the greater cause )

Thats us! Are you spying on me??

Many women subconciously encourage this as it makes there men less attractive to other predatory women

Mine takes ages, flicking and spiking and spraying - then when I'm ready he goes over it all again

You mean that your partner takes 30 minutes to trim downstairs before going out? Every time?!

Re: How long does your partner take to 'get ready'?
Hours and hours .....

Plenty of time for FIFA in the meantime. I suppose it would also be relevant to ask how long us men take to get ready ... I know if I'm going out at 8pm then I need to start getting ready at 7.30pm .... at the very earliest.

Re: How long does your partner take to 'get ready'?
Mine ain't too bad...

2 hours if she has to straighten her hair. 1 Hour if she is wearing her hair up. Her problem is that she is ALWAYS late ...

Never more than an hour for my other half. That includes a shower, hair, makeup and clothes. She's a good girl
