Not Just Vanity

Today i read The Star and came across an interesting article...

Quoting it

"It's one of the world's great mysteries, as puzzling as the possible existence of intelligent life on other planets and the whereabouts of Lord Lucan. Why exactly does it take women so long to get ready for a night out?" (The Star, Star 2, p. 10)

I don't know who Lord Lucan is btw.. hehe

Why do women take so long to get ready.. hmm.. interesting no?

"Recently, it was revealed that the average female spends three years getting ready to leave the house." (The Star, Star 2, p. 10)

"Research found that the average woman takes one hour and 12 minutes to prepare herself for a big night out - that's 22 minutes showering and removing unwanted hair, seven minutes applying moisturiser and fake tan, 23 minutes doing her hair, 14 minutes applying make-up and six minutes putting her clothes on." (The Star, Star 2, p. 10)

"On top of that, the typical woman spends another 40 minutes a day getting ready for work, and three months of her life choosing handbags and the ideal pair of shoes to wear." (The Star, Star 2, p. 10)

hmm.... to sum it up, women would take (or need for that matter) a long time to be prepared.. maybe not all women but at large..

and the writer says that it's not just about vanity... it's not just about looking good.. it's about feeling good.

that got me thinking... well, she's right, it's not about only looking good, it's also about feeling good... u can look good but don't feel good about yourself...

but what i don't understand is this... why do women need such a long time to feel good?

anyone care to enlighten me about it?

God Bless~
