She's not that pretty." Uh, how come the groom gets to keep his eyes where he grew them? Because the groom (the man) is not expected to be "perfect" - perfection is only expected from the bride. But, in this scenerio it's not the men who expect perfection from women - it's the women. I find that to be true in a lot of areas. Perhaps we - women - need to change our expectations of women and as women and then men will follow us.

Men are expected to look neat and tidy but that doesnt always pertain to weight. Women are expected to not let themselves go.
