This question is not an insult, it is simply an “I have always wondered”
I have always wondered why women spend significant amounts of time doing things like getting their hair just right for the dance.
Is it for themselves, or is it because they want to look good for the gentlemen, or is it because it’s the new style, or is it because they don’t want the other women to make fun of them for not having perfect hair? I’m just shooting in the dark here. I expect there is another reason that is totally obvious which I am missing.
At a dance I always feel bad when I accidently bump a gals head and mess up her hair.
