1. Your Makeup Routine
Makeup is a very private grooming procedure, not unlike shaving for men, and should be performed in private. What would you think if a man broke out a full shaving kit on the subway and proceeded to shave? Shocking, right? But the principal is the same: private grooming should stay private.
2. Remove hair.
Don’t worry; I am yet to witness any woman giving herself hot wax in a subway car (but I have a feeling that one day I will). However, I have seen plenty of women armed with tweezers angrily ripping small stubbles from various parts of their faces, all while being surrounded by seemingly indifferent fellow commuters.
Ladies, just because we don’t projectile vomit (only because we were brought up right), does not mean we are not disgusted. If we don’t say anything while unwillingly observing your battle with unwanted facial hair, it’s because we have a mouthful of your rejected hairs and we are afraid to open our mouths for fear of that same projectile vomiting we have been trying so hard to contain. It is even worse for a man to watch his beloved do it at home.
3. Pop a pimple.
Seriously ladies, I do sympathize with acne. I am no stranger to that one unexplained zit that never fails to show up during your most important occasions — like a first date or your best friend’s wedding. Just like I am no stranger to the same dermatological discourses on the adverse affect zit-popping can have on the rest of your face that we all have heard. And as much as I may agree with that discourse, I have to admit that sometimes the best way to fight the little menace is to claw him out once and for all. But must you do it in public?
4. Cut your toenails.
Let me start by saying that as women, we all know the benefit of a good pedicure. We also know that sometimes, in between pedicures, we need to have a quick fix. I get it. But do you need to do it in front of your boyfriend? Does the site (or even the thought) of him cutting his toenails gets you aroused in any way? So why do you think he is any different? Just because your toenails bear nail polish, does not mean they may not go flying into his eye just as he was admiring your silky hair and thinking how lucky he was to have a hot girlfriend like you. And it’s difficult for him to notice how awesome you look in your beautiful new cocktail dress if he has a toenail clipping lodged in his right eye. Keep it private, ladies. Keep it private.
