I ware lipstick and I have never read the book The Rules...


Good for you. I think it will help you. A lot of men notice these things right away, believe it or not.


Good luck, Santafelady. Watch out for Joker2, he doesn't like Rules girls.
I read the rules way back when it came out, kind of ridiculous though...didn't one of the Authors get a divorce shortly after the launch? I ended up using the book to prop up my sofa after one of the legs broke. Why don't I remember the lipstick part? Do men actually gravitate toward lipstick? It seems I'm one of the few people left who wears it.

It's true! I've met her. Good luck with that, though. She lives in Prague.

There's rumored to be a woman who works in a coffee shop in Delaware who occasionally wears it as well, but who knows? I love cryptozoology, don't you?
I wear lipstick. It makes me feel sexy.

Shallow materialistic two leggeds attract (or ensnare) shallow materialistic mates (or suckers.) Please Creator, Zeus and whoever else is listening, may I NEVER fall for one of these aphids. My Rabbi told me to stay away from them...

Lets segue back to lipstick for a moment......

In general, do you guys who have mentioned it prefer women to wear lipstick? Should I refresh it during a date (I can't keep it on for more than an hour).

I'm serious here.

I am not a naturally super attractive woman-have to put some effort into looking any more than average and do wear subtle makeup. However I notice more women not wearing lipstick than who are wearing it. Usually before I go anywhere I put some simple makeup and lip gloss on, but not normally colored lipstick.

Oh, and I haven't read The Rules, but my husband and I did read and follow many of the Mars/Venus precepts after reading the book-we both thought it helped our communication and understanding of each other more.

I have not read it but a coworker did. Her boyfriend that she was head over for ended their relationship rather abruptly, crushing her.... she then went on a self help crusade and read this particular book and followed the rules. She applied the rules to the former boyfriend and then over time he came back to her and as she continued to follow the rules the relationship strengthened to the point of cohabitating and now a baby is expected in October and they are blissfully happy!
Cohabitating? She didn't do TR correctly. TR is against pre-marital cohabitation.

I have read The Rules and they are absolutley dead on. The men I go out with treat me with respect because I practice them. The Rules are all about respecting yourself as a women and acting like a lady. If all women acted this way men and women would get a long better and there would not be as much heartbreak. Three cheers for The Rules!

I read the Rules. They made sense in 1998 and prior. Mars and Venus to me continues to make better sense.

Oh, and mybe because I'm Southern, I wear lipstick. I have a million shades and brands.
