the other day i was talking to my friend who told me about the husband of a mutual friend who is crazy about trends and fashion which is indeed not a bad thing. but its my biased generalization that as a husband they are nitpicker, obsessed with themselves, obsessed with status (only like to hang out with beautiful, rich and famous), want everything perfect, want their wife dolled up all the time, obsessed with brand label.
may be its my extreme generalization but they care less about the emotions.
so lets take your generalization based on this further..does is mean that women in general care less about emotions, because they are crazy about trends and fashion as evident in this and the wedding section of this forum, oh, and bazaaar talk section as well.
you are indeed right, but i am not discussing women here. i write about these fashion obsessed women in their respective threads. but men discussing open toe pumps and getting extreme critical about color, heel height, texture, etc is kinda weird.
btw, i have more problem with them being nitpicker and obsessed with status then with being emotionless.
IN that case your entire argument is incorrect, how much one is concerned with looking good and taking care of themselves is not indicative of being shallow, only interested in hanging out with the powerful and rich, or not interested in feelings.
i dont know about men discussing open toe pumps, those men are cross dressers and not metro then. unless they are giving their wife advise, and then again there is nothing wrong with that. If more men gave advise to their significant others on what looks good and what does not we would be subject to less of the type of plucked chicken looking cartoons at desi events
If someone is interested in health, they will try to get the spouse interested in it too, same goes with style/grooming, if someone feels it is important, they will emphasize it to their spouse as well, dont see any issue there unless it is controlling behavior, which has then more to do with who the person is, whether they want the wife dolled up all the time, covered up all the time or whatever. its a whole diff bag o chips.
Most guys who take care of themselves from all directions, are not just doing it to gain some sort of status or are self-absorbed, they just like that way of dressing and like fashion. Nothing wrong with that. And ya they may want the same from their wives/ gf. Women do this all the time too. That they want their husbands to get dressed up, they'll shop for them, if they don't like their husbands clothes in the closet.
As for the discussing fashion, again, even the manliest( the scruffy/ bad ass type) men have an opinion on certain colors and styles their gf/ wives wear.
and getting extreme critical about color, heel height, texture, etc is kinda weird.
