The male point of view is that you need to hand in your man card for reading that.

Nataly 38 #3 March 22, 2014 I think French women are very stylish and have a much more natural/subtle approach to beauty... French women do have a beauty regime and do look after themselves but rather than spend hours at the gym or go on yo-yo diets or wear a lot of makeup, they have a simple daily skin-care routine that starts when they are little girls - like brushing your teeth every night before going to bed. If they wear makeup at all, it's minimalistic, just to look a little fresher - you might not even notice they have any on. It's more about long-term care and prevention than quick fixes, covering up and extreme measures (surgery, for example). They also have a very different relationship with food... They pretty much don't diet but rather are simply careful/choosy about what they eat, their portion sizes, and likely still get ingrediants from the market and make home-cooked meals every night. Almost never eat fast-food... It's a nation that appreciates good food, and good debate, and that takes time to enjoy both (usually at the same time)... Meals are not something quick that you grab on your way to work - they are an opportunity to sit down, savour every bite and stirr up a good conversation. They don't tend to exercise, but they also don't use their car to get everywhere... On a daily basis, they use a lot more public transportation and although this hardly can be considered a sport, it gets them out and walking a lot more than your average American. It's wrong to think all that French elegance and grace and beauty is effortless (far from it)... The French life-style is in many ways more conservative than the American life-style - it's simply much more balanced (in my opinion). They work to live, and not the other way around... Et cetera, et cetera. So I think yes, on the whole, French women do age well (and this is true throughout their entire life-span). Plus they have French lovers!!! Which I'm convinced is what really keeps them looking so good "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
