Ladies (and gents) -- what is my wife trying to tell me?

So...

To set the stage, I'm in the shower the other day. Sliding glass door and a magazine rack on the wall of the bathroom with the latest copy of Outside Magazine in it, featuring a shirtless Andreas Ralaert on the cover.

Exhibit A:

Joanne picks up the magazine:

J -- "See, this is what I consider a good body -- lean but not crazy skinny, some muscle." Quite a bit more but that was the general gist of it

R -- You realize you're telling this to you husband while he's naked in the shower, right?

J -- Yep....

Exhibit B:

Joanne comes home from running errands and drops a bag of "facial products for men" on the table. Something called a "face fuel," an "exfoliating" something, and an "anti-wrinkle" something else. This to a guy who's entire hygienne regime for 20yrs has been a bar of soap, razor, shaving gel, and bottles of lotion scrounged from hotels.

So...what's the message here?

    I ain't touchin' this with a 10 foot pole. Can't wait to see if any guy gets in on this.

    My reaction also. Nonetheless ... it's hard enough trying to please oneself about body image, much less having to make someone happy who gets to see you naked ... whenever.

    Whenever this comes up at home, I just ask Cheryl, "Do these pants make my butt look big?" She drops it instantly. realising the conversation can go both ways.

    Hey Coach - at least she does not ask you to dye your gray hair!! Oh wait I understand why .

    I read Coach P's post and Al's to Sandra and she just laughed and would not comment!???

    Sorry, but you did ask... LOL

    She's saying, "More LA, less USMC."

    HA!

    and the reality is..you know you'll be tweakin' some things to head that direction for her! When the Lady says 'I like this', we tend to give her the 'this' image

    My response probably would have been, "Yeah, I wonder what his wife looks like."

    Geoff, that's awesome! Putting that one into the quiver...

    So, I've used the damn wrinkle cream 3x and still have wrinkles on my forehead...snakeoil?

    Difficult to comment without seeing Rich in the shower

    Yeah, I don't need THAT image burned into my retinas. 

     

    What if I said that the hair on my head migrated a few years ago?
