I think i said this on someone else's posts, i am really aware of power relations and things like equal distribution of household chores in my own realtionship, but having my clothing choices influenced by Dave is not one of the things i worry about.<br /><br />That said, the Daily Mail story is horrible! He actually goes shopping with her? and emails her photos of stuff she should wear? That just sounds horrible and creepy! And making all these dispariging comments about her figure to undermine her confidence, it sounds like a first step to emotional abuse. Only in the daily mail could something like that be presented as a good idea!oranges_and_applesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9095637681067111067.post-83188456096152397572011-08-25T23:12:19.186-04:002011-08-25T23:12:19.186-04:00what a great question: Is there a difference betw...what a great question: Is there a difference between dressing to please men in general vs. dressing to please one man in particular? I don't have an easy answer, but I DO occasionally dress to please my husband. I had intended to do a post this week on what I was wearing when I first met my husband---something very modest! He is a bit bolder in his requests now, but because I am comfortable with the power relationship between us, I am not uncomfortable when I wear something I know pleases him.Terrihttp://twitter.com/RagsMachinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9095637681067111067.post-23188794653239415782011-08-24T18:22:35.557-04:002011-08-24T18:22:35.557-04:00Very thought provoking post.

At least, not usually and not consciously (that subconscious thing is so tricky, though!). Which doesn't mean that B doesn't like it, just that he's not my primary concern as I'm getting dressed. I will say that I've definitely influenced his sartorial choices much more than he's influenced mine - not in that, "I have no idea what happened to your favorite tee shirt that I threw out way" and more in that "You look smokin' hot in those jeans" kind of way. Makes me think even more...

It's the sexiest thing in the world and the antidote to dressing to please all men. If you don't respect your man enough to want to please him, maybe you're with the wrong man :P Obviously this does not mean dressing in a way that is uncomfortable to you, but if it's within your comfort zone and feels like "you" then I say go for it.For Those About To Shophttp://forthoseabouttoshop.canoreply@blogger.com
