Isn't it more like...

Hair:
Up or Down? If up, with bangs or without? Pony Tail or bun? If down with bangs or without? Tucked behind ears or not? Flipped out ends or straight? Do I want to go curly or straight? If straight do I go bob? Or is it braided? Maybe french braid? But with or without bangs? If not tucked behind ears do I want earings? If so, one, two or 3 sets? And do I have 3 sets that match? Maybe I should just get a perm. If I perm maybe I should color too. If I color what color? Red, blonde, brunette, black, purple or green? Will that color go with my earings? Wait, my earings are two days old, I need to buy new ones. But if I buy new ones I really need to get a new necklace. Thick or thin chain? Pendant or locket? If I get a pendant will it match my rings? Oh screw it, I'll just get new rings too. But then my handbag won't match the rings that match the pendant that match the earings that match the haircolor of the perm. So I'll just go get a new bag. But then my shoes are going to need to match. Boots? Sandles? Shoes? If shoes, open toe or not? And if open toe do I need stockings? What color stockings? Wait, that depends on the clothes...

So then she was like "Ugh." and I was like "Ick!" and she said that was the most gawd awful ugly dress she ever saw and I was like "girlfriend!" and ... oh wait, I need to go shopping, talk to you later!

It's ok Melly, we love you.. :) (I'm just glad us guys don't have to deal with the monthly visit from Aunt Flo.)

i get the water running, go pick out the clothes i want to wear, and when i come back it is warm. if you think it takes 10 seconds to lather a bar of soap, you are nothing short of a moron. time yourself and go as fast as you can to where you are clean, and lets see how long it takes you. i didnt get this fast at it overnight. i assure you i smell perfectly fine. i have a buzz, so hair is no issue. i spend about 5 seconds on my head. 10 seconds is a lot longer than you think while you are showering. the only places i spend more than a few seconds on are the "grungy" places like the pits, private area and the plumbers crack. it takes no time at all to do the rest of your body. im sorry if you guys sweat and get dirty during the day, but i work at an engineering firm and dont tend to get mud all over me in front of the computer ;) when i go outside and work or just get done playing basketball, i will spend 2-3 minutes because then i really would be smelly if that shower were only 45 seconds - 1 minute. im not really too concerned if people believe me or think im smelly, i was just telling my daily routine and thats all. let me reiterate, i would have been made fun of frequently in high school and even now at work if i smelled at all. there is a guy at work that is either dirty looking or actually smelly and they make fun of him to his face. i would receive no less. you guys seriously need to try it before you call bullsh1t. just time it once and then you can argue.

You're getting us way to intimate with your morning routine, Tony. Way to intimate.
;)

EDIT: Oh, and we made fun of you for smelling back in high school, just not to your face. You're a big mothafvcker. :D

No. Because you're a female on Anandtech.

merely passing soap over one's body does not make one clean. scrubbing is often necessary, to remove caked on dirt, dead skin, etc. plus its really hard to rinse properly. hell, the water doesn't even warm up in 45 seconds

bingo, thats what scrub sponges and stuff are for. leaving loads od dead skin...thats just an odor trap.

:confused: No. Sponges and wash rags are breeding grounds for bacteria, that you will smear all over your body the next day. I don't use any crap like that and I smell good.

brad, shut your face. you know damn well the only time i may have smelled like a horses ass was when i was running late and had to SKIP a shower, which was very obviously distinguished between normal days because i am a zombie without a shower. yeah, im a big guy, but soap works all the same.

thats why people use those plastic scrub balls, easily rinsable, cheap to replace after a bit and much more rough and thourough then your palm. even though they look a tad fruity at first glance.

Caring so much about that stuff on a daily basis is not a female thing - it's a vanity thing.

if it smells good we don't really care. but fvck me hair is ++

Makeup:
subtle or dramatic queen?
subtle usually, if dramatic means sexy eyeliner then yes for clubs... if it means too much makeup that is always a no-no

Shoes:
tall boots or short boots?
fvck-me boots are always appropriate

Top:
short-sleeves or long? Tight or regular? Expose midriff or not?
if you have a nice stomach i want to see it. same goes for bewbies. topless is prefered, or maybe a lacy bra

Bottom:
skirt or pants?
thong!

2nd that :p ;)

Solved. (hopefully you already have a bf already)

Seriously though, my preference for women:
hair: tied up, but not in a bun... it's good as long as it's up and loose exposing the neck (this is perfect)
top: anything tighter than loose is good
pants: whatever
shoes: anything that's not witch-pointy is fine
makeup: subtle with glossy lips :D
