Would you consider me a woman?

That doesn't mean you aren't a woman! not all women do these things. I used to love to shop but now I just go when I need something whereas before I would go just to browse even if I had no money to spend! I know I SHOULD get my haircut more often but I'm always putting it off. I hate going to have my hair cut - mainly because i can't be bothered to make small talk with the hairdresser. I may not be a shopaholic or obsessed with make up but my partner knows I'm a woman!

It does not make you more or less of a woman because you don't do the things that your mother considers to be womanly. I don't go to the salon either but let me tell you I am a woman. If you can look in the mirror and like who is looking back at you than don't worry about anything else.

Great! You ARE a woman.. a woman who can define her likes, wants, and needs. I detest shopping. In my experience, the mall is the place for 14 year old girls who wear way too much make-up and perfume. . and for the teenage boys wanting to date them. I shop only when I need to make a purchase. And if I can make that purchase online, all the better. I don't visit the salon all that much either. I hate the wait and the jibber-jabber conversation. Besides, I have long hair and it doens't require much more than a trim here and there. My Meez in the blue dress is pretty much how I wear my hair. What's further, I am not one of those women who will spend major time each morning with hair dryer, curling iron, flat iron, make-up. . Oh, don't get me wrong. I wear make-up. . . but I don't blend 3 different eye shadow colors or anything like that.

Count me in or rather welcome to the club of women like us who don’t ‘behave like women’. I don’t window shop either, I have two pairs of shoes – one for daily wear, one for party wear. I have no fancy handbags – only the utilitarian shopping bag types which I even carry to office, you would call me drab in every sense, I buy new clothes twice a year – during our new year and during the Pujas (which is like your Christmas), I don’t visit the parlour, colour my hair at home and have done my eyebrows only once – during my wedding! So you are a woman in every physical sense, you are just OK with whatever God has given you and don’t run after embellishments. It may also be that you are confident of who you are and the way you are and don’t care much after things that don’t last.

Hello Catmint, I dont think that makes you less of a woman. After all, what makes a woman a woman or for that matter, what makes a man a man. I am a man and I love to shop. I dont like to go out with the guys every week or other things that most guys like doing. Does this make me less of a man, some may think so but I dont. If you are happy with who you are, thats all that matters. Just enjoy who you are and dont try to fit into other peoples stereotypes. Take care, Terry

I hate to window shop. If I do because some has talked me in to it and I see something that I want and don't have the money then I just depressed. I do have seveal pair of sandels but not a lot of other shoes. I don't spend a lot of time on my hair. I usally just pull it back to get it out of my face. I only color my hair becaus my husband can do it for me and even though he also cuts my hair I only have him do it when it has just to far gone and I have to do something with it. Before my husband started doing hair I went to get my hair cut about once every 4 months and before he started doing nails I had never had them done before. I would rather be out cutting wood or something outside than I the house cooking or cleaning or even out shopping. So join the club of Women that are women just not all prisy like some people think that women should be.

your mom is so wrong, there are a gadzillion different kinds of us and we are all women. I was a tomboy as a kid and skinned myknees and hated skirts and climbed trees. when I was in my teens I did not gush over movie magazines or use a lot of cosmetics but I was still a woman. I stillwait until my hair really needs cutting before I go and get a haircut and I do not shop for clothes unless I really need something but I like pretty dresses and nice tee shirts. I am still a woman, justnot a carbon copy of someone else.Iam me.
