Waiting, waiting...

It's so bizarre, but Dan's having another one of his moods.  He liked my mom's hair when the met - it was longer and permed.  Now she keeps it straight and shortish (it goes to her shoulders) and colored to hide the gray.  Needless to say, Dan doesn't like it.  So then he started bugging me - would I keep my hair (read look) a certain way just to please a man?  Uh, no.  I like my hair long because I happen to like how it looks, however I do like the idea of cutting my hair eventually and if my fiance doesn't like it, he can deal with it.  I don't think that I should have to sacrifice my own sense of style just for some guy (even if I am getting married to him).  Frankly, I was under the impression that I man should love you just the way you are (or if you're a guy, a woman should love you just the way you are).  I happen to like that my fiance finds my mind more attractive than my, erm, assets (and he does like the assets).  Mah point, folks, is that I should have to sacrifice who am, including my looks, just for some guy.

And for the record Dan said that if my mom wanted him to lose twenty pounds he'd join the gym and do just that.  My mother has told him that - he's a yet to join that gym.
