Lady looks like a dude
I love the look: simple t-shirts and jeans. No problem there. And every now and then, when she gets all fixed up, you really appreciate it more.
Slate's Dear Prudence goes into this a bit, about a writer who's worried that his gal is too tomboy.
It's a fuzzy line between t-shirts/jeans and losing all femininity. Some jeans out there are downright girly. Anymore, jeans also seem more engineered for girls than boys.
Prudence suggests the writer to lose his gal -they've dated for six months- if he thinks she's too tomboyish. She said it might be too early in the relationship to try to change her ways.
It's well-known that women are responsible for updating a new boyfriend's wardrobe. Some women I know have said that they don't worry too much about a guy's appearance and clothes early on because "That's easy to fix."
But apparently it doesn't work the other way.
I'd probably work on getting a girl out of the jeans and into dresses by using gift cards to specific stores. Or not wearing jeans myself.
Never have I lost someone because she's too tomboyish, but I'm sure someone out there has. It extends to other looks too -goth, prep, faded rock star, and so on.
Have you dropped someone because of their look? Been dumped because of yours? Ever tried to change a significant others' look? How did that go?
